Yes, this is probably the most contraversial vehicle in the Porsche lineup since the "affordable" 924s of the 1980s. Purists (most of whom I suspect have never tried using a 911 on a daily basis) objected to the the company selling out the brand to make a fast buck in the SUV market. Nothing could be further from the truth. This is simply a Porsche you can use every day. I leased one of the last of the 2006 models and I have not been this happy with a vehicle since I bought my 1997 C4S ten years ago. You get the best of both worlds - a fun vehicle with a useful interior, a daily driver that you can still rip into an off ramp in second gear, a real four seater with an awesome V8 that pulls to any legal speed limit (and beyond) like a sports car. Downsides - not many. The ride can be harsh driving in pothole infested city driving. With +8 inches of ground clearance, at least you won't bottom out. The nav system/sat radio unit takes an actual read of the manual to use to the fullest. The reat seats can get cramped if the front passengers are not charitable. Overall interior space is not meant for a monster run to Costco or Home Depot. Overall though, this is probably the best value in the whole Porsche lineup. You get a Porsche you can use every day. Year round. Source: eBay Motors Reviews |

Car gets a lot of looks and is fast after you get rolling. Vehicle is heavy and could use more torque to accelerate faster. Have had no mechanical or electrical problems after 1st year. Gas mileage not bad, 14.5 city and 21 highway. This is not a creature comfort car and for the price could use a lot more luxury amenities. The navigation system is the worst I have ever used and the woman's voice they use has to be a direct dependent of Adolf Hitler.
Overall, I like the car which replaced a BMW X5, but will probably not buy another. Source: eBay Motors Reviews |

I bought this SUV a month ago.The car is great but had to get some repairs done soon after I bot it. A set of new brakes and all four tires had to be replaced.The seller failed to list these in the listing. Even though it had only 29k miles on it the tires had little tread left and wre making lot of noise when I drove above 40 miles an hour. Source: eBay Motors Reviews |
