At sixty eight, I have owned at least sixteen Porsches since 1966.  Race cars, convertibles, turbos, Carreras, etc.  All of them fascinating and satisfying in their own ways.  But for overall utility, build quality, power, luxury and reliability, I give credit to my 2009 Cayenne Turbo S.  I have owned it for over two years, driven it daily for personal and family pleasure, taken long trips in Europe and the U.S., and it has functioned fabulously.  (My wife and kids adore the car as well, and that's no small matter!).

For one who was initially skeptical of Cayennes when they were introduced, I am an admiring convert.  No wonder this series is a great seller worldwide.  Expensive compared to other SUVs?  Sure.  But the everyday satisfaction is enormous, well worth the cost.
