Hey guys, how have your experiences with the Cayenne as an everyday car?

Looking at a Cayenne GTS, seemed fun to drive, just wanted to get some ideas on how you guys have been enjoying it.

using 08 CTT as daily car for one year, before used a 04 CS for 4 years.

great car for daily use, good interior space, all weather capability, true porsche handling.

only complaint was high gas price, sport seats not too comfortable (the ones in GTS looks much better).

A 2006 Cayenne S has been my daily driver since I bought it new. Never had issues, my only complaint is the mileage but with my relatively short commute makes it bearable.

Yes it is fun to drive and after you've thrown it around a few corners you'll know you made the right decision.

had my GTS 6spd for 2 weeks. put on 900 miles and i am loving it!!! (except for the 12mpg) but my exotic is a G-TT so im not complaining...
my advice: buy a 6spd GTS, you will not regret it

I drove from Vancouver to San Fransisco, SF to LA, LA to Vegas, and back. That trip alone clocked me 6000km. Then went last week Vancouver to Oregon and back (another 1000km). I feel sad i did this to my baby

Around 6,000 miles so far...no problems. Best tank gas mileage has been around 19 mpg road trip/15mpg average commute/12 SF-city driving.

My only issues so far have been getting my damn tooki setup to sound right with the damn iPhone.

This is my second Cayenne. First one was an "S" and enjoyed it so much that I bought a GTS for my second one. If you enjoy sports cars and need the extra space, then I think the Cayenne is the way to go. Many people hate the way it looks, but from day one I thought that it was a great looking vehicle.

Cayenne turbo was my daily winter car - hard not to have fun. the GTS is much sportier than the CTT which is more GT like.

the rpm range in the GTS is really fun for ripping around.

i have owned a cayenne s before Eddie and I tell you it was one of the best/fun cars i owned. It was like a sports sedan than SUV.

Comfortable, luxurious and fun.

My wife & I are planning on getting a new one in near future.

owned my CS for a year and its been a absolute blast. fast and very comfortable. Took a trip from SF to yellowstone national park in montana then on the way down visited grand canyon, LA and back to SF. raced a S4 on the way up in nevada, hitting long sweeping curves at 120+ and it was solid as a rock. Porsche Forever.
