The one guy in the world who likes the buttons in the touch screen.
I actually love the buttons. Its more cockpit like and logically more “purposeful” per switch. If it were in a touchscreen program for those buttons and settings. It would be harder to access them since you have to open it like a computer rather than the conventional switch. Plus, touchscreens dont age well overtime.
Same!
@simpsondan nice seeing this comment again... and exactly as I said 3 years ago. These touch screens now, still... really suck. Unfortunately they still try to make it a trend. To save money ofcourse
100% this, tactial buttons for me are huge a plus.
totally !
The key is on the left side because of Porsche's 24 hours of Le Mans days. It was faster to turn on the ignition for the drivers when they sprinted to their cars. It's a nod to racing heritage but in an SUV.
Yes yes I am sure Pete knows
You guys should’ve vacuumed the interior before filming
Word!
This is my bucket list... a 2016 Porsche Cayenne GTS would make my life complete!
Oh man, I love my Porsche buttons. I hate having to dig through menus to do anything. Hell, think of the amount of time your eyes are off the road to do something with a touch screen and the subsequent menus.
nailed it...it's a car not a desk!
A buddy of mine has the older one...v8 but then its matched to a 6speed manual! Yum.
Great review. Although this GTS is a great example with Sport mode, one option it didn’t have, and that literally transforms the experience, is the Sport Chrono package with Sport Plus and Launch Control. That’s when the GTS really comes alive! The good news is that it can be added as a Porsche Tequipment after market option for just over $1000. Well worth it, IMHO. I love my ‘16 GTS and haven’t had a single problem with it.
Do you still have it ? How has the reliability been? How do you add the after market option for the sport chrono package ?
@@prabeeshsidhu The reliability of my 2016 Cayenne GTS has been great and I still love the vehicle. I recently test drove a 2016 Cayenne Turbo S that had almost every imaginable option and a list price when new over $175,000. Although the Turbo S accelerated like a freight train, had the awesome Burmester stereo system, and came with standard PCCB brakes with unbelievable braking power, it's definitely a bigger, heavier vehicle and rides taller than the GTS. In the end, I decided the GTS had plenty of power for what I needed and drove more like a sporting vehicle than the taller, heavier, more SUV-like Turbo S. Both great vehicles, but I think the GTS is more fun. As far as the Sport Chrono package, you should be able to get all the information through any Porsche dealership. It definitely made a difference. Good luck.
@@sneaux59808 gonna ask the same question, how are you liking it now? Still have it 2 years later?
I appreciate that you guys were able to compare the Tuareg to the Cayenne. They both seem like nice cars depending on your needs. That Porsche is pretty sweet!
if you actually took a moment and looked at the buttons, you'd realize they make perfect sense and in perfect location. Using touchscreen while driving is actually much harder and not as safe since you have to look at the screen where as tactile buttons can be used without looking.
Great video! I’ve been shopping for a Touareg TDI for the last year waiting for the right package to come along. I’ve looked at the Porsche as well but the price point made it tough to justify. Love that you guys did the comparison.
DWS Continental are head’s above those nittos … I guess there in a no snow state…
I actually Love all the buttons. A button for each function!
How I love finishing eating and seeing a new video of yours . :)
Let's be honest we all know the e39 touring is the ultimate daily. Love your guys videos. Keep it up and God bless.
I love geeking out over tires. There are so many options, why not geek out? You can often find a great tire at a fraction of the price for OE tires. Great video. Keep it up. Wash your hands. Sell me the Evo VI when it's done. ✌
Forester XT,
Relativley Cheap to own and maintain keeps its value, bang for your buck, to bad they pulled the plug on it
You know, i kinda dig that road review vibe of this, well done!
They're not my kind of car, however i do think the Diesel Cayennes, especially with Porsche extended warranty, are a pretty good dual purpose vehicle. For people who can't afford to run a big truck for towing and another car for dailying, it does seem like a good proposition.
I tought i was the only one looking at the tyrepatterns ... im not alone !
😂😂😂
The GTS most definitely does not have the same brakes as a Touareg. It uses the Cayenne Turbo brakes! MUCHO expensive.
I love tyre reviews
Best suv imo agressive looking usefull powerfull luxuous nice v8 sound timeless
A 2016 Cayenne GTS with 115,000 miles by 2020...! That's ~28,500 miles per year!
Love the synchronized woo at the end...but we need a Ric Flair woo off next time 😂😂
When I got my first porche even when it had Michelins didn’t have the Porsche rated ones on and the ride was not impressive as when I changed them to the Michelin Porsche rated ones with softer materials the ride completely changed!! I have Nittos y a smaller car and let me tell you I am impressed of the change from Michelins to Nittos I am HAPPY😊😊😊 FOR A SMALLER car but I will have to have them on my Cayenne to really have an opinion with the Cayenne but I am looking forward to NITTOS for my Cayenne soon
I'm looking into the Cayenne Diesels, good bang for the bucks.
And they last! I saw a few with 320K KM. Insane!
Did you end up finding one?
I looked at a Cayenne GTS back in 2013, when it had the naturally aspirated V8. Although it was a nice riding vehicle, I think it was far overpriced for the power it had. I considered it to be a poseur of the Turbo version, which was just that much more overpriced - but at least you were getting a hugely powerful and super fast suv. What’s funny is that I ended up with a Touareg diesel like Pete, which I love for the power it has in city driving and the exceptional highway cruising it offers, not to mention great fuel mileage. No, it’s not going to rip around corners like the Porsche could, but that’s ok. My wife has already said that we should look for an older 911 at some point in the near future, so we have something a bit more fun to drive, so I have that going for me.
I own a 2015 Cayenne Diesel, that is the ultimate version of the Cayenne. Great gas mileage, tows great, looks killer.
How’s it been so far? Do you still have it
@@prabeeshsidhu still in love with it. Over 110k miles on it so far
You can change the programming of the Touareg transmission to Cayenne programming in VCDS. I did it on my 2012 TDI and it really improved
FYI Porsche calls it alcantara, not suede
I have the 420s on my Trackhawk and my 0-60 increased significantly
My only problem with both vehicles is that they are very expensive to repair!
Frank Landgraff not only repair but also maintaining them if you don’t do it yourself they are way to expensive
It's a Porsche SUV, no one should expect it to be inexpensive but I get your point. In truth the average labor rate are north of $100/hr so all repairs are expensive if you can do DIY work.
@@wjperdue , also parts are outragously expensive.
Frank Landgraff exactly for example a water pump is 350€ and it doesn’t even come with a gasket it’s sold separately for 78€ they are way to expensive
They are only $50 to $100 bucks on ebay. If the walk into a Honda dealer for parts you will pay a lot. You have to be a diy person to own a used luxury car.
Pete aka Mr "and what not" 😅
If I'm buying a performance SUV it would be a Typhoon
Trillions like and best comment for you because you are best on Earth and follower respect you,we need videos in Real 120fps or 240fps 4K,8K and Sound in FullHD Surrounded,,
What was the gas mileage you guys got while driving this?
16:05 hahaha what an awesome outro
Not a DSG, fellas. Torque converter auto for both the VW and Porsche.
That’s also why you can brake-spool it at the lights.
My missus has a diesel Macan and its great, expensive, but I really enjoy driving it. You'll find that push button start was an option as is a heap of other things that you'd expect as standard on these particularly for thr price you pay.
I have this truck. The Touareg is not to be mentions with the 958 GTS. Breaks, try 6 piston break calipers and not the Touareg basic breaks. I’ll be doing a legit review on this truck.
The reason they put the ignition key on the out side of the middle of the car goes back to their racing pedigree they were able to shave seconds off their time for the 24hr races driver changes the driver could start the car while getting in to get back into the race quicker
I like the video, but there's a lot of assumptions, throw the tourage and Porsche on the track, towing, and fuel milage comparisons.
I would love to see that!
i have a 2016 Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid that i purchased used in 2018. it is the best daily driver I have ever owned, period. fuel efficient when you want it to be and a 5.4sec 0-60 hauler when you need it to be. they are actually adverse weather capable. she got me home without issue when i was caught in a blizzard, even after other suvs and cars around me turned around or got stuck. she's for sale if you guys are interested.
Great video!
How about mercedes GL?
Was this video about the Cayenne or a Toureg that's brought up every 5 seconds?
You guys should tune that Cyanne!!!
Follow up video: Dave's brother's Civic vs Pete's brother's cayenne. Battle of the Broskies!
is it reliable?
Moor Porsche 👍😁
Terrible take on the center console. Not everyone wants to boot up a computer to control everything. Its nice to have physical buttons, and Porsche did a fantastic job incorporating those.
better gas mileage than my 01 CRV!
That cayenne has the same chassi as thet touareg and the same gearbox and some of the engines are the same as well
If you're trying to tell yourself that they're the same vehicle...uhhh no.
Look at a gle 63s
Is this car reliable? Are there major Maintenance issues? Looking to purchase 2016 cayenne GTS. Thx in advance
When I was researching sporty used SUVs I found affordable examples of the smaller Porsche SUV, but then I found that they cough up a transmission now and then, and the trans costs over 7 grand.
El Arr nothing is cheap about these cars and they lose value so fast.. in 2 years their used value will be down in half
Is a VW drive shaft and transmission cheaper than a Porsche Cayenne.
Anthony Cason I think it is
@@bchnts Thanks it gives me hope..
The Macan and 958 cayennes have known transfer case issues, never heard of either “coughing up a transmission” although I’m sure it’s possible. Transfer cases can be rebuilt for far less than replacement. Forums suggest changing transfer case fluid with every oil change to prevent failure. Porsche has updated the unit and breather position so maybe it’s been resolved?
This vehicle is cool I love the black on black with black alloys 'I believe it's the best colour for this vehicle 'blue naw green naw pinky red naw white naw black is the only colour I would choose 'plus this is one quick jeep or SUV the quickest in the world 'I'm in love I want to marry that Porsche cayenne 'and I will be faithful I promise hoho stevie
Does your brother stil have the civic ?
I am about to sell my X5 M sport 2011 and buy 2016 GTS, what are the common problems ? Does they fix the transfer case issue ? How much oil does it burn ? As long as is not like BMW X5 M sport and the freaking 4k valve steam seals #*#***@$ them I am ok with it, if 1 liter ( 1 quart ) every 1200-1500 that's fine with me. But if it's every 500-800 miles then no sorry ! Your brother drive it for like a year already that's why I am asking if there is anything wrong with the car. Thanks
I put the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV tires on my Cayenne Turbo. Wonder why not use those? Not sure if the NItto is better? I'd be curious to try.
Are PS4 silent enough?
@@dmytro_dd idk compared to what? My winter tires? Lol they are great
10:51 cool off? Pretty sure this was filmed back in fall of last year lol
Ok Challenge Guys ! Do a 4 door Mod M3 e E 46 and make it an SUV ! cannot cost more than 25 K and it will blow away what you are presenting today !
Ohhh sooo many buttons...said the guy who drove it for 5 minutes...lol
This has nothing on my Twin Turbo...
This is like asking the question “out of all of the sexually transmitted diseases, is herpes the best?”
I’d take an estate car or station wagon over any SUV.
You can't go over curbs in parking lots with a wagon.
I have 3 BMW wagons, 2 of them with sports suspension and mildly modified turbo engines. The vehicle I take 90% of the time? Toyota 4WD because of height, ease, curbs and 4WD for wet driveways.
"And it gets 24 MPG!" *laughs in Honda Fit owner*
But I love cat memes
Try the Macan GTS :D
Funny how classy cars lose it, when. An American sits in one.
Was this vehicle bought to advertise the tire?
Yes we bought a 50k car to show off a tire...🤔
@@speedacademy thought Id asked since you guys spent along time talking about something worth like 1/70th the cayennes value.
While much faster than the 10-14 GTS, I'll never pick a TT V6 over an NA V8.
No
Tyre advertisement
Come on pls don’t compare your Volkswagen to the Porsche even though they do have similar chassis underneath lol
Yeah good luck with that...
vacuum gee wiz
Until you see the absurd amount they charge for parts on these things...
When people compare Porsche with VW 😂😂😂😂 just because the use the same components in minimal areas… there is no comparison at all both of them use the same unleaded gasoline and that does not make all the cars the same 😊 what foolish comparison… chasis is metal too not carbon fiber 😂😂😂
design of interior is from 2010
and europe even 2009
That is one really dirty Cayenne
Nope. Money pit
Down voted for saying you can't grocery shop with a 911. Really?
How many bulk packs of toilet paper can you fit for covid doomsday prepping?
That generation of the Porsche Cayenne is the best SUV imho. And I LOVE the buttons. Takes about 5 days, then you have all the buttons in your hands. Touchscreen? No thanks, need to look at it every time to point the finger at the proper menu, then select the proper item in the sub-menu, and pressing the "are you sure?" confirmation. Buttons FTW! Remember this is meant to drive 220Kmh+ on the Autobahn. I love the Porsche Cayenne Diesel S with a V8 Diesel with a lot of torque. Too bad they axed it. Great mileage as well.
exactly
@@dennisreynolds6915 exactly right. I love the buttons. I had the opportunity to drive a newer model without the buttons. No thank you. It took your eyes off the road for too long and the glare from the "touch screen" was terrible.
I convinced my dad to check out the cayenne. And he loves it ever since. 16 GTS red interior and black exterior. Handles literally like a car really impressive.
Hey I'm in the market for one right now.. did he have any issues with it?
Thank you
4:47 ..complains about many buttons ........then shifts to sports + so easily withouth navigating through touch screen controls
I've spent a lot of time in cayenne's, and the chassis tuning and handling dynamics are second to none. I did find the 8 speed to not want to upshift sometimes when you're driving spiritedly, but the models I drove were base v6 so its possible it's retuned for the higher trims. Most models have their share of issues that creep up across the board, but all are relatively minor and easy for an enthusiast to fix.
Did you find the base v6 fast enough?
I’m wondering if the 300 horses is enough for it
Sad, those tires full on suck. Some of the worse tires made. Took off really good set of tires. Reason price is double. Really sold out here
Yep, was clearly a product placement ad.
Coming from someone who works on them, I say hell no. Disposable car that was never built to last. Resell values that sink like the titanic.
Turn that into a daily driver it’s going to hurt it’s going to hurt 💰💰
I would never buy one new, but you can get a really good deal on a CPO
@Brad Reynolds - I'm interested to hear what issues this generation has. Please elaborate.
Thanks for ruining the movie. It’s on my corona watch list.
I've been driving my 956 Cayenne S for a few months now and I can say I don't think there is better value in any other used vehicle, period. I picked it up with 125,000 km for $9,500 is near mint condition. It was traded in from an older Toronto couple who kept the car in Florida for when they went down in the winter months. Zero rust, zero issues, $9500. Mind you I bought it knowing if things go wrong I can wrench on it myself..
Those are a/c controls, seat buttons are on the seat. Also the Cayenne cockpit is intuitive and easy to action on the move, cause it's a car. Try a new Audi Q8 for comparison, no buttons just smudges and a load of driving with your eyes off the road.
"feel that powah man, oh yeah" - im sold right there for the vehicle.
Dp you should do more tire reviews!
The maintenance. No. Not unless you make 80k a year.
MrNightpwner and the depreciation... if you make 100k a year and don't mind spending large portion of it on the car yearly...
Hey!! Cat memes...I'm here too☹☹🤣🤣
the diesel version is a great everyday car that tows brilliantly. near 1000km to a tank, tows like a champ and is very comfortable to cruise around in. from inside the car you would never know it was a diesel.
Great tire choice. From one tire need to another
cayenne-e hybrid
not convinced until I see lap times at tmp
I would like to say, 2014 Cayenne GTS would be my pick. V8 and better front bumper look.
958.1 V8 GTS is the best enthusiast SUV to own
Was here looking for this comment. I am family planning with my fiance and am looking at these as our (her) daily driver. I also have an E39 M5 as a weekend car and a separate daily. Don’t think anything can beat all of what a NA V8 offers in a vehicle.
You should have done continental I had those NITTOS the wet traction is less than average
