If you take your Porsche Cayenne in for a brake job, be prepared to talk shop. Our Porsche mechanic is ready to talk your ear off. And that’s perfectly understandable. Because he just read a test drive review of the 2017 Porsche Cayenne in the Telegraph, and man is he psyched. This third generation promises the best of both worlds: “a big, heavy vehicle that’s targeted at family use as much as it is driving dynamics.”
Sure, it’s big. But it’s a Porsche, so it’s still just as sleek as Miami Vice. As the Telegraph’s Shane O’Donoghue puts it:
“But while Porsche admits to aiming for a more rounded proposition this time around, it still likes to market the Cayenne as a sporty car. So yes, the new one is more spacious within and of tangibly higher quality; the interior is spacious and beautifully made and detailed (except, perhaps for the fact you can see the unused system labels hidden beneath the ‘black panel’ surfaces); and the infotainment screen is large, high-tech and easy to use.”
The Porsche Paradox
So, sure, the new Porsche Cayenne is big, but it’s beautiful, not to mention lighter and more powerful than ever. That’s the paradox that Porsche has turned into an art form and why they make some of the sleekest sports cars on the planet. And it’s why we love to drive them. They are beautiful machines that take our breath away, 0 to 60 in heartbeating syncopation.
And the 2017 Porsche Cayenne is as sleek as it gets.
“It also can change gear much quicker than before and with less interruption to acceleration, depending on driving mode, of course,” O’Donoghue states. “In its normal setting it’s comfortable and smooth, yet can be aggressive and exciting at the other end of the scale.”
So yeah, our technicians love to repair Porsches. And it’s not just for their reliable scheduled maintenance. It’s the fact they are awesome cars, revving works of art with ripped engines and plenty of style.
