Default Cayenne impressions? - 01-01-2006 , 12:56 PM






Drove a 2006 V6 Cayenne today. Very impressive SUV.

Anyone out there have a Cayenne? If it weren't for the rumors of a revamped
model for mid-year (and other rumors of a hybrid), I would have drove it home.

It's an oversized SUV, what else is there to say?

It's a pretty small SUV, actually.

oversized? Did you mean to say undersized?

I was curious if any owners had any good/bad stories.

The web sites tech geeks are giving it a mediocre review but
consumer ratings are reasonably high. Unanimously both the
"experts" and the consumers said gas mileage wasn't that good.

Just wanted to hear from owners here.

Don't own one but had a Cayenne S as a loaner from the dealer while the 996
went in for tires. The dealer scratched the wheels so I had the Cayenne for
a week while they fixed their goof.

Driving reasonably sedately, the Cayenne got about 17 MPG in city/highway
driving. It would approach 20 MPG on highway only. Handling on the highway
and acceleration were superb (for an SUV) - very comfortable front seats. I
didn't take it offroad. We have an Acura MDX which we really like, but if we
ever replaced it and money wasn't an issue, we'd get a Cayenne S.
