Being an owner of one of these I can confirm this is one hell of a car, absolutely remarkable piece of engineering, both performance and construction wise. Living in North America it won't matter if you buy Base, S, Turbo, GTS or Turbo S really. The speed limits are pretty strict so you won't be able to do 160-250 or more like you could on Autobahn. But since all of the models accelerate with phenomenal power and top speed being the only difference you can buy any model and you'll be happy. And if you ever need to accelerate fast, like on a highway ramp for instance, you will feel the power regardless of which model you're driving. Cheers!

Thanks Nathan. Learned a bunch from your video. Agree with your comments. I’m the third owner of a 2006 Cayenne S. Coolant pipes were done by a previous owner. Mid-drive shaft support bearing failed around 140k. Son & I fixed ourselves with an aftermarket product in about an hour. Recently performed a transmission service (fluid and filter). Regular oil changes. Pulls a 5 x 7 utility trailer with no issues. Pulls other vehicles out of snow banks and ditches, no problem. Scared the crap out of my passengers off-roading up a pretty significant. dirt incline last fall with Conti. CrossContacts (my 2nd set). I do a majority of highway driving so I don’t go through a lot of brake pads or rotors. However, they are among the easiest to replace of any vehicle I’ve ever owned. Will be doing struts, shocks and hatch and glass supports as soon as the weather is a little warmer. Just passed 270,000 miles and it still sings in 8-part harmony. My only problem is my envy for a 2009-2010 Diesel, GTS Manual, or Turbo S; maybe even one of the 600 Transsyberias!

Absolutely outstanding, I wish all cars had guides this comprehensive!

I own a 2004 Porsche Cayenne S. I bought it year and a half ago, and it is running amazing. I really recommend these cars.

Thank you FCP Euro for providing a ton of info which is very organized. This really helps for a potential buyer like myself.

My second Cayenne is a 2005, with only 30k miles. It has seen rain twice, and is detailed inside, outside and underneath. I only use it for grocery or other supply runs, as I absolutely love and cherish it. My first was a 2009 that I used more often, until I found this 05 with 10k miles, a pampered example, one of ten Porsches the seller kept in A/C storage. They are an amazing SUV, and I will likely keep this truck for many years. I have added a lot of carbon Fiber parts, and Fabspeed cat bypass pipes. Otherwise it is stock. Everybody needing a SUV should consider a Cayenne, of whichever vintage they prefer or can afford. I drive 2 911 Turbos, a Coupe and a Cab, but equally enjoy my time in the Cayenne.

The want is so strong for a first gen Cayenne. Seems like a great multitool of a Porsche. Comfy fun to drive daily, then on the weekends tow a race car, hit the camp site, or clean it up and go on a date.

Great overview of the 955 /957. One correction to a statement about the Porsche Cayenne Transsyberia: As stated in the video, Porsche commemorated their wins in the Transsyberia Rallye (26 custom built Porsche Cayenne made it to the race) by building a limited edition 'Porsche Cayenne Transsyberia' for 2010. In total Porsche built and sold 600 of those cars worldwide. Only 102 made it to the states and only 39 came in the iconic black-orange combination. Making this car pretty rare, in fact more rare than the Porsche 997.1 GT3 RS (production number: 1,168, 410 sold in the US) of the same year that could be ordered with the same black orange color combination.

Bought my 2009 957 Turbo because I wanted an inexpensive 4x4 imagine my surprise when I pushed on the pedal and my neck snapped.. wow sure enjoying this car..

Great video👌🏽

I had a 2004 Cayenne S when it came out and sold it once it was out of warranty. Loved it while I had it and I still think 955 was the best looking.

Badass video. Ty so much!

Thats a very impressive video

Great informative video! When can we expect one for the next gen cayennes??

One of the greatest videos out there. Thank you for all the info. I have one quick question for you. I am on the market for a Cayenne 04-06. I am seeing some cars having some characteristic grooves on the upper side of the central triangle on the steering wheel and some others without. My question is this. The absence of these grooves is it a sign that the vehicle has been involved in an accident and the airbag was deployed (and when repaired no grooves could be added) or is it just another version for the steering wheel? Thank you in advance and keep up the good work!

What a great video! Who the heck knew the Cayenne S had a dry-sump...

Great video! Really well done. One question, do you guys know if you can actually separate the intake manifold to service the change over cylinder bushings? The intake seems to be fused together and no matter how much heat, it is not budging.

Very well done Sir !

I’m in as well I’m in the market for a 2011 S And I don’t trust the jokers who purport to be experts. Also I buy my VW maintenance supplies from you guys.

Thanks, makes me even happier with my '07 S. It also seems that my Cayenne S is especially well-optioned compared to other S on the market. I really like how its interior is more luxury-oriented than the GTS. The GTS is really nice with its sporty exterior styling but I find the front grille in S to be more stylish than the empty space on the GTS.

I bought a 2009 cayenne 3 years ago and chose a 3.6 to avoid the air suspension. I’ve done 50,000 miles with a prop shaft issue replaced for £800 with a newer stronger version. It sucks petrol but I love the car and I straight piped it for £20 and it sounds wonderful. We go frequently overseas in it and it’s perfect.

I'm a fairly new owner of a '09 GTS (957) with under 90k mi that is my new daily driver. There are some issues, but I love the car - esp. with the air suspension and sport mode. Other things to note : almost everything is Torx bolts (ended up buying a bunch of new sockets to work on this - even the license plate holder is Torx), gas mileage is a sore spot (with great care, I can get 18 mpg - it's usually much worse), and repairs can be expensive (even DIY - parts are expensive compared to my old Hyundai Santa Fe). Generic ODBC II does not help much - it's worth spending the money on a Porsche specific scan tool. While there are great deals available, don't forget they were $50k+ when new (looks like mine was $84k), so it can be expensive to keep them running. Plan accordingly... Thanks for the video - one of the best I have seen for 955/957. I'm looking forward to the others in the series.

When it came to GEN two did they rest on their laurels or did they make significant advancements? Just trying to figure out if I should be going for a really nicr Gen 1 or are Gen 2’s better.
