For those wondering, this car ended up selling for $25,500 on Cars and Bids.
@JohnnyFD Thanks! That's what I was here for.
johnny fd here? whaat :D
Wow much cheap
It's ridiculous how much of a premium people are willing to pay for a manual car nowadays.
@@ferraridavthe thrill and engagement is unmatched. And now, harder to find
My dad’s got one of these in Nordic Gold, I believe it’s 1 of 3 in existence. Drives the piss out of it, it’s approaching 200k miles. Full catback B&B exhaust, color matched wheels, carbon fiber bits… things very cool.
@@pgo2372 In English, "apostrophe s" means that thing "is" or "has." So dad's got one = dad has got one. Where are you from?
Do you know the VIN? I know of 3 of them(‘09 Gold GTS 6MT): one was parted out, one owned by a friend, and another in Vancouver.
@@MikeKayK What is your point? His dad has got one.
@@christopherniblock1752 Last 6 are A61460
@@yungboicontigo9278 There were only 29 made in total in 09 in Manual iirc
The old Porsche Cayenne GTS’s are just the dark horse of Performance SUVs, especially the manual ones
What other manual suvs are there???
@@dollaz5541 The X5 came with a manual up till 2006
Woah 😲 Thanks 🙏 for this comment!! 🤠👍 I didn’t know what I was watching
@@kingnuthin23 The E53, yes.
Real
I always appreciate how Doug says "when you're on the racetrack" in these videos about 'sporty' SUVs, just to really make a point of how ridiculous the whole concept is.
Don't forget you can take your children to a racetrack!
I took my Cayenne turbo to the track.
Doug type guy to put the S in SUV 🤣
@@vladimirspuzanovs3507 they won't slide around LOL
Especially since this generation cayenne is very heavy because of the terrain stuff they later deleted.
I vividly remember looking at a listing of one of these in fantastic shape about 5 years ago. It was listed at a dealer for $11,995 with 67k miles. Man that would have been the time to buy one.
You can't even buy a decent used Corolla for $12K! That's insane
5 years ago was the time to buy most cool cars. 10 years ago was when to buy the JDM ones
me who just bought a civic for $30K: 😃
@@rickroma at least you can laugh about it 😂
A black on black 2009 GTS manual was for sale at a Toyota dealership near me this past summer. 87k miles. They only wanted $15k. I could not physically get there fast enough before it sold.
The indicator „quirk“ is just the Parking light. It is mandatory for every car in Germany. You can turn both on with the light switch, or just one side by leaving the indicator on
Yes. In Latvia if you leave the car on the side of the highway or anywhere dark where there is traffic, you are supposes to leave it on. For example, if you go picking mushrooms or whatever really in the night...
yeah it's a quirk bc this is a usdm car smart 1
doesnt this drain the battery?
@@acn684 Not if you’re parking the car just for one or two nights. I wouldn’t recommend doing that for a week or longer.
@@acn684 the "Standlicht" is supposed to only be left on for a couple of hours, because yes, after that, your battery may be drained. If your battery is full, there is a law, that it has to last at least 24h on a full battery charge, so don´t do it too long
Hands down best SUV ever built, due to 6-speed manual + strong V8. Awesome
Having the car you're selling reviewed by Doug with a link to your auction is literally the ultimate advertisement
Probably needed it, this one has a salvage title.
I remember when my dad had one of these but with an automatic back in 2012/13, I sooo loved that thing, it was amazing, and I remember getting my driver's license just months before he sold it, he barely let me drive it at first, but when I got to do it, the thing just drove like a beast. It was quick, gas mileage was terrible and parts weren't cheap (my dad used it as a daily driver), but every time I heared that V8, I knew I was having fun. Too bad he sold it and ever since then, he only had quite boring bmw's, mercedes' and volvo's :(
I love this Generation of The Cayenne, especially the GTS!
Porsche V8 = 🙂
Yea this generation aged very well
The gts has always been the sweet spot in the Porsche line up
The new generation models don't have soul
@@itzjdub282
I like the 2014-2017 model a Lot aswell. The Other ones Not so much.
I have a 2006 Cayenne S Titanium Edition (which I bought on Cars and Bids!), and I can tell you that as someone who almost never uses heated seats or only uses them for the first 5 minutes because even the lowest setting is too warm, the "1" setting on the Cayenne is perfect.
Very surprised to see Doug screw up the "mountain" and "road" selector. Yes, those pictures are misleading but that switch is to put it in low range. Press it down again and it locks the transfer case. Its just a fancy 4 low and transfer case locker button lol
He was also amazed by parking lights. Also missed the old school flip up rear seats and the mention of old Cayenne's having an exterior 5th wheel
Doug you missed some really fun quirks:
- Air compressor for blowing tyres located under the seat (the actual compressor pump is in the trunk but you can put that hose thing into the passenger's front seat)
-Cigarette lighters/charging places underneath the glovebox where passenger's feet would be
-My GTS has a hidden compartment between the rear seats which expanded a quite long fabric that would go through the trunk. Figured that was a Ski pocket where you can put your ski gear in the trunk and they extend between the seats but the fabric would wrap it so no snow gets inside the seats
I can't believe Dough missed the air compressor!
Compressor/ pump is under the passengers seat, well, under the pass seat under the unibody/chassis, not under the actual seat, like the connection point for the air hose is. The compressor tank/accumulator is under the floor in the cargo area, not the compressor.
I love how he mentions every clever detail and I be like: ,,This my 2005 Škoda Fabia has too, this also has, this too and this too"😂😂
but does your key go in the left side of the steering wheel?
@@joher91 No, but it has many other interesting quirks and features 😄. Shame that it can't be reviewed by Doug😥
Made my day! A Cayenne being a Naturally Aspirated V8 paired to a Manual Transmission😳
Thanks Doug
My mom has had an auto 2010 cayenne gts since 2011 and I’ve always loved it. Drove it a ton over the years and it’s just an awesome car. Its currently at 160,000 miles and it’s still going strong!
That’s so cool! This was and still is my favorite gen of the cayenne ! It was just so special and different from other SUVs
We could never afford one unfortunately
I have a 2009 Cayenne GTS, although it's the automatic 6-speed, and have taken it to the track and up in the mountains on logging roads - remarkably capable in both cases. The 2009 tech is a bit dated, but I still love the car. You missed the quirks about the 12v power plugs in the passenger foot well, double visors for driver and passenger, the mirror assist for parallel parking (passenger mirror drops to show the curb), heated steering wheel (perhaps that's an option?), and buttons on back of steering wheel to control lights on steering wheel buttons. Don't forget it can tow 7700 pounds, and sport mode also opens valves in the exhaust for a sportier sound.
How has the maintenance and reliability been?
@@harrisr1018 Reliability has been good, and I do my own work on the car. It's a modern luxury car, with lots of parts, so there's always something to work on - you have to plan on spending some $$ for parts, but you don't buy a Porsche because it's cheap. Next plans are to replace ignition coils and plugs, and I've a thermostat stuck in the open position that I'm not looking forward to replacing - but not surprising at nearly 120K miles.
@@johnathonmcalister6645 cheers mate
@@johnathonmcalister6645 bro I have 5 more of ignition coils (been doing them as they fail) and my thermostat on mine too lol.
@@jonathanandrews2188 other than that, what's the other common problem? I heard prop shaft center bearing is one of the problem.
I'm on my 3rd Cayenne. Gen 1 Cayenne S, Gen 2 Cayenne Turbo and now Gen 3 Turbo. I've loved them all!! It is surprising to me that when we go snowmobiling or even drag the trailer to the track, how often that I'm stopped and asked "you're pulling that (22' V-nose trailer) with this?" And the other was when a guy in Ford pickup rolled down his window at a traffic light and asked is the trailer empty?? Of course it wasn't.... I had both of the first two on the track and they were both awesome!! I can't wait to get my gen 3 turbo on the track this summer. Both of my son's have older (gen 1) GTS and one of them is a manual. The Best SUV ever!!!

Would be cool if Doug would place pictures of what those blank switches would actually be every time he reviews a car that has them
I googled the HVAC controls to see pictures of other versions, it looks as if all of them have the same blanks no matter the trim level. I may be wrong, maybe there's more buttons in other foreign markets?
There's a 4-zone ac option, so that would have fillrd some of the buttons

The 2nd gen Cayenne also came available with a manual in the base model.
I agree. That was really nice. No more manual in the 958 gen.
Yea it was in the movie Eagle Eye
Yes, but only in the V6 (like I mentioned in the video). When I worked for Porsche, I was the one responsible for distributing the manual V6 Cayennes!

Man its been long since someone commented "doug is the type of guy"
not even close to funny or original
The Cayenne and the Volvo XC90 were the best looking SUVs of their time, the first gens has aged very well.
Cayenne and FX*. Have both of them and FX is still the car which make people turn their heads although it has more then 15 yrs. Cayenne is still spicy too.
I remember first seeing the turbo S on the interstate... It was moving effortlessly in and out of traffic and lanes. It was a rocketship! I was in a car and couldn't catch up to it until it hit traffic, but once it found a way out, it took off again! It's an SUV that thinks it's a motorcycle.
As an owner of an 09 Turbo S, I can confirm :)
I bought a '14 CGTS late last year and I can confirm it's an amazing suv....it handles like nothing else. Mine is PDCC equipped and I was keeping up with C8 vettes and bmw m4 through Tail of the Dragon, which is unreal for a 5k lb SUV! A proper ballerina. My previous car was a Maserati GranTurismo, and the GTS out accelerates, out-handles, and out performs that car in every measurable way while also being able to tow 7800 lbs, go off road, and carry 5 people in luxury and comfort. It's an amazing vehicle and so far has been rock solid at almost 80k miles. This gen of Cayenne didn't come with the manual but the 8 speed tiptronic is super, super quick. If you've ever driven a Macan, the shifts are as quick as the DCT in that. They are rev matched in sport mode, but obviously it's not quite as smooth as DCT. But it's very rapid, and the added benefit is an extra gear and the ability to tow huge amounts. I would love to drive one of these manuals one day super super cool truck!!!
How reliable has it been with maintenance ?
@@Vivona23 very. Coming up on 90k miles power train is amazingly smooth. I will say though maintenance is not cheap unfortunately. 99% of what I’ve done since 70k miles has been preventative but it’s totaled around $6k. And there’s still some things that I could fix. I have no lights or catastrophic issues but the front end for example needs some work. Bushings/control arms etc. Parts are very expensive. So are basic things like oil changes, tires, etc. Make sure you can afford out of warranty maintenance for a 6 figure car and know most of it will be deferred when you buy it😂 but if you can it’s really a solid vehicle
The 7 blank spaces near the climate control are blank because the original dealer didn't order the options that would have filled those buttons. Yes, there were even more options! (I used to work for Porsche)
thats for all cars, blanks are cheaper to make than new trim piece
I think even people who aren't into cars know why blank switches exist.
You'd think that Doug, someone that ALSO worked for Porsche, as far as I know, would be willing/able to research about it. It's really getting to a point it's making the videos less enjoyable, his decreased interest in researching options so he doesn't shoot from the hip in the videos.
Doug also used to work for Porsche too
What were the blanks supposed to be? I got an 04 turbo with the same blanks.
8:35 Driving a 2011 Audi A5 now and I absolutely love having 6 levels of heated seat controls on our often -40C or lower Saskatchewan winter temps
If it's -40c would you not just have set on the warmest setting all the time? Any need for 6 levels?
@@markmorris8637 because 6 is bloody hot lol but it’s great when you’re shivering upon entering the car
The single side parking light trick has been around a long time: my '67 Porsche does it too.
My 2012 Mazda 3 also have 5 stages of heating for the seats, so i got Porsche DNA in my Mazda. For real, the manual Cayenne GTS is my favorite SUV of all time. I was a kid when it came out and always thought it was cool to offer it with this transmission. Thank you very much for this review!
Doug, the button on the wiper stalk that controls the little screen has been standard on all VW products for quite some time. At least from the mid 90s to the early 2010s. Quite intuitive when you use it for a little bit.
The parking lights are actually a legal requirement in Europe, there are certain situations where you are supposed to turn them on, and in order to not drain the battery as much it is like that on many European cars, leave the blinker on turns on the parking light on that side.
How long before the battery gets low enough to make it, I assume, turn off so you still have enough power to start? How long could you leave your side lights on in older cars with incandescent bulbs and probably no auto-off?
Even my 2005 Skoda Fabia had it, the same button, but with a smaller screen, but seen the same thing in Audi A4 with better screen.
And the rear armrest is the same as my Octavia’s rear armrest, with the shallow storage area

@@papastratos99 what's that

I've got the 2009 base model that's the wife's daily driver and absolutely love it.
Now considering getting another 2009 GTS for myself.
Do not skimp on PASM & heated seats
@@nothingtoseehere5760 PASM is the main reason I want the GTS . You are right!
Hello! I used to watch your videos 3 years ago. Today is the first day I saw your videos since then and I am so amazed you have stuck with video making this long! I will start watching again more often and thanksgiving for uploading a lit
i love how some of the quirks exist in my 99' vw golf, just discovered that turn signal light when the cars offmaybe 2 months ago
I've never really particularly liked the look of the early Cayenne models. I've never hated them but I think this one in this spec looks really good. Like I'd really like to own one good.
I had this vehicle. Drop that thing down Doug, always parked mine in the lowest setting. Always looked cooler that way.
I have a 2014 GTS and it's a 4.8 V8 and I'm very happy with it, I would kill for this car! So much fun..
Porsche: I have FIVE heated seat settings!
Audi: Hold my beer.
My uncle had a name for the modes in his old Audi: -from "mild summer breeze" to "fried bacon".
They are cousins/siblings
Having driven a Chevy S10 for a number of years, I can confirm that I never once accidentally set the parking brake while going for the clutch. (I never thought my late 90s pickup truck had something in common with a Porsche that is 10 years newer, but there you go...)
@Fuzy2K I have a 99 Jimmy which is basically an S-10. Love it but it's getting long in the tooth and I was at my wit's end wondering what I could replace it with for a reasonable price when I stumbled across the idea of a Cayenne. I'm just researching now.
16:00 my dad's BMW also have this feature! we never use it in fear that we will drain the battery but I thought it was a common feature for all cars which comes as a shock since Doug pointed this unique feature 😂
Also the rear window opening-- that's practical af, sad that they never did it again
You could actually light those lamps for a couple of days before you drain the battery, as they take really low amounts of power to run.
@@MrRagman93 oh that’s nice to hear, other than the hot climate in Indonesia we rarely park in a narrow street anyway so we never use it 😅. Good to know that we have it tho!
@@cliffgeo It's rarely being used in Germany as well, but all cars here have it. 😄
Every car in the EU has it. It's mandatory. Apparently not in the USA.
Bro my Mk2 golf hase those parking lights
very interesting to see the parking light integrated into the turn single stalk! I have a 2016 Mercedes and it's a whole nother separate knob on the dashboard
Another great show, thanks Doug.
4:27 and that is why premium brands are worth what they're worth
Almost 13years old and still looks amazing!
Doug, there is minimal turbo lag in a 955/957 generation Cayenne (sounds like you need to drive one, you can visit me and review/drive mine!!!). This isnt late 80's early 90's turbo lag here (I have had many turbos over the years and still do). Maybe not like a 2022 turbo application, but you dont need to ring it out to 4000 rpm and then it smacks you in the back. I get the ~0.6-0.8 bar at ~ 2600 rpm. The relatively big engine displacement and not overly big turbos are the reasons. Peak torque is at 2250 rpm, so maybe even quicker spool up than I am noticing via the tac.
I've got an 08 3.6 V6 Manual - couldn't agree more - "surprisingly good". So nice to drive particularly on crappy roads in the frigid North ❄️
As an owner of 1 of the 285 Transsyberias made, even though they initially targeted 600, there are about 6 manual transmission Transsyberias out there. Two or three auctioned off this year. Love my TSSY & my 2009 Cayenne GTS!! Great video!!!!
80's Jeep CJ-7s also had four pedals. Not a problem. With the V8 and manual they were dangerous, and fun, as hell, but the pedals weren't a problem.
the 1990s to early 2000s Chevy S10 had 4 pedals too. And even the current Dodge Challenger still has 4 pedals.
Thanks Doug. I actually have this car and didnt know all these quirks. Especially the glass in the back. ill be trying it out as soon as i finish watching this video. Cant wait to see what else to learn.
I was waiting for you to post something like this. Thanks Doug
I just sold my 06 Touareg and will always love the styling. It didn’t have an especially beautiful steering wheel, but I prefer it to the Porsche triangle steering wheel.
I wish Cayenne would still offer manual in their current model
This brings back good memories being driven to school in one of those between 2010-2013
Why?
It's not a 911...
Who cares about a manual in a SUV? 😂
@@Kev27RS it was fun to have.
@@tamarab8972 If you want to have real fun in a PORSCHE, you buy a 911, not a Cayenne.

@@Kev27RS I can have both fun in the cayenne, and go to the beach and park on the sand with 5 people in the car and not get stuck
@@victorcorpadea1340 Cool.
Would love to see a review on a Volkswagen Touareg W12 if you somehow can find a decent example of one somewhere
Or the V10 TDI!
Great video, thank you Doug! The clock thing was funny.
I love your Vedios I have been following you for three years Best awesome Vedios Doug!!! 👍 Keep it up!!
Dude I have the same 4 pedal setup in my 07 CTS-V I genuinely have 0 clue as to why they would swap it from a more convenient and conventional hand parking brake 😭
You see it in Dodge cars as well, particularly the Challenger. Get the Challenger with a manual transmission and you'll find the parking brake pedal right next to the clutch. Stupid design imo, and I think they do it for a mix of cost savings and retro purposes. These cars are designed with auto transmissions in mind, so manual transmissions are put in as an afterthought. A handbrake is much better to have than a foot brake but that's also my opinion.
a few merceds cars and vans have this too and its just strange
@@kevinnorris6558 the challanger comes with it, cause its based on an old mercedes platform.. daimlercrysler lx/lc... based on the old w/s210...
Maybe making room in the center console might be one of the reasons.
Since the parking brake is higher and closer to the wall it really is not an issue...only to the kids who have never driven anything older than the year 2000 and think they might accidentally push it while driving.
Doug gave me my dream review I've been looking for 🔥
Good lord at 1:44 when I saw the interior. Shame this example isn’t black on black.
@Doug Demuro: Thank you man, this brings back a lot of joyous reminiscence in my life.
doug the kind of guy to be my favourite youtuber ☺️
Favorite body style and favorite sounding cayenne!
Man, I wish I'd seen this when the auction was still live. Finding a Cayenne of ANY trim with a manual transmission is like looking for some mythical, nonexistent, fairy tale creature. I presume it's because anyone who has one is hanging onto it. $25.5K for that GTS 6MT...damn, what a deal. Looked like it was in decent shape, too.
I knew you would get your hands on one eventually Doug after our talks way back!
These aged really well the difference between the Cayenne and other suvs that followed at the time is the Cayenne could literally do everything and was shockingly reliable
@Fraser I mean they are 🤷♂️ turbo models specifically
I have Cayenne and Infiniti fx both with V8 from 2009 and FX aged even better in terms of style but yeah Porsche is surprisingly reliable.
@@Kali-wb2zu isn’t the air suspension actually good
A high mileage old German performance car with a salvage title, sounds like a great headache free buy. 😂
that was way funnier than it should be lol 😂😂
haha you better have the bucks, other cars, and or be a mechanic who works on these
I beginning to think I was the only one who saw SALVAGED TILTLE.
Great find! Well done.
My 2013 Skoda Octavia has the parking light too , depending on which direction the blinker stalk is pressed either the left led drl and led taillight pattern stays lit or the right 😄 I used this feature a couple of times already
Even my 2005 Fabia had it, and also the MFD button on the wiperstock, the same button as in this Cayenne 😅
My dad gave me his old Cayenne S v8 and I have to say man... They are AWESOME! The V8 roars when you floor it and until 250-260k miles (at our shop atm). PERFECT car in terms of maintenance and I definitely had fun pushing it. Amazing car I would 100% recommend one even used because seriously mine did phenomenal. Even my dads current Cayenne is amazing. I also think personally this is one of the best looking SUV's. I feel is they just made LED headlights and Taillights you could get away with it even today. Also add apple car play loll. I use a Bluetooth device, but the bose speakers are great even in today's standards!
someone has rich parents lol
I found out the hard way the turn signal “feature” on my 997 when I couldn’t figure out why my lights wouldn’t turn off when pulling into my driveway. Had to do some googling
my 1978 911SC does the same thing with the turn signals. Amazing they kept that.
Doug, In the UK and Europe the manual was available from 2002/2003 the V8.
Suspension same as my 2004 S.
Standard option from new in 2002/03
I'd love one of these 😍
They are amazing man I had a Cayenne S from this time and man is the V8 so satisfying... also surpassed 250k miles and until now id say under $5-6k total in repairs. Nothing major until now the engine needs to be replaced so its at our shop until we see a very good deal because man I just love it and don't want to get rid of it even though I have newer vehicles its just so fun to hear the V8 in a Porsche
@@Yinyang1277 I bet it's a pretty rad feeling. Kinda like a c63, unassuming luxury vehicle with a big ol bark. 🤘
The parking light feature is mandatory in Europe every car has this
As a Former 955 Cayenne Turbo owner: the Blanks by the AC controls are for cars equipped with rear ac controls.
Also you missed the air compressor under the passenger seat. Comes with an air hose and you can fill up your tires.
Loved the video though:)
It takes forever though, if I travel to places where I can't get to a tire place I carry a CO2 tank & 150psi fixed regulator to run shop air
i thought i knew everything about porsche but i never knew this existed. my grandma had an ‘08 cayenne S so the nostalgia of that generation mixed with the bizarreness of a 5,000lb awd v8 luxury suv with a 6 speed just made this my new dream car
What
15:30 Mercedes had this feature too (maybe they still do). The main light dial had positions for left and right parking lights for this purpose.
Every car sold on the German market has this feature
My Jetta has it too. I figured it out by mistake. Lol
My 1996 T4 has this feature 🥴
I was so confused when he mentioned and even explained it. This is like the most basic feature and I thought every car had it. Well, they might all have it here in Germany!
It's required by german law
Used to have one of these for like 5 years. Never once knew the rear glass could be opened
lol aint that sum shit!
Had one of these come through the auction i used to work at the car is truly awesome
Thank you Doug. Planning a test drive of an 09 automatic. I want a daily for trips to San Diego and Los Angeles to and from Palm Desert. Cheers mate!
I own a 2008 black on black version of this vehicle and love it more than I can accurately describe. I have used it off road and when I take it to the track all the pro drivers jizz themselves when they get to drive it. Mainly it's just a joy to drive and it's awesome for a road trips since I have room to bring all my toys with me.
Manual too? Damn
Very cool ride Doug.
I had one. purchased used and after 2 grand of tuning up and getting back into good shape it turned out to be a pretty reliable car except dumb things would happen like my headlight had a problem staying plugged in for some reason and my shifter one day jammed on me and I couldn't get into gear... older car quirks I guess. but other than that it was a pretty fun death defying type of exciting car. Im surprised I lived past owning one. it sure is a serious thrill be warned lol
My friend has one in orange, I got the chance to drive his for a few hours helping him move from one state to another and it was really fun
Im kinda dissapointed Doug about the details :( That you didn't mention the double sun visors and the AUX air line under the passenger seat and the buttons behind the steering wheel that turn on or off the lights on the steering wheel and the buttons on the front of the steering wheel (That actually im not dissapointed because only 957 Cayenne owners knows it AND FAR FROM EVERYONE) the buttons on the steering wheel can actually be pushed or pulled (Volume buttons and etc)
Doug has been in the last past couple of months on a decline, especially when details are considered. An automotive journalist like him should research these, like the blank buttons under that climate control lid, plus he used to work for Porsche. He just shoots from the hip now (like "ambient lighting in the Kia EV6 can't be changed" - yes, it can). For someone that loves quirks and used to read car manuals he is getting sloppy. He's more interested in funneling traffic to his bids site and his videos suffer for it.

Sadly, as much as I'd like to mention everything, it's not possible. People won't watch if the videos are too long, and frankly a HUGE portion of the cars I review have things like double sun visors -- it's just not that interesting. Same goes for buttons you can press front or back on the steering wheel -- it's just not interesting to the majority of people. If I really let loose, I could do over an hour on each car, but then nobody would watch. Ultimately, my videos are a lesson in priorities: some people will be mad I didn't cover enough, some people will be mad the video was too long and I covered too much, and the goal is finding the right spot in the middle.
@@DougDeMuro perfect.
@@DougDeMuro Doug, thank you for actually addressing our concerns. Your point makes sense and yes, each enthusiast probably looks for different detail to be covered and not everything can be.
If I can offer some sincere feedback, can you research some of the options more? I'm sure you get a ton of cars and you get busy, but it really takes the quality down a notch when you aren't able to research some options and it looks like you're guessing.
Sold mine almost in this exact spec back in October. A compromised but fun family beast
One thing that might be nice is to put into the video description a slight teaser of vehicles coming up that you're going to review. In general though, I appreciate the reviews. I know that classic (muscle) cars don't get as many views, but I'd like to see a few thrown in here and there.
I really miss when Doug was doing the dougscore the old way, he took the time to explain all of the scores one by one, now it feels a little bit rushed
Yeah i agree with you
People complained the videos were too long, so this is what you have instead. Frankly it's better this way anyway -- now I get to give a good, full summary of the car instead of "Like every car in this class, practicality is a 7 out of 10" or whatever.
@@DougDeMuro I love your work and the channel, I have to say I agree with this commenter that I like the recap with the individual explanations of each number. It feels like a nicer conclusion to me.
My dad started working at VW when the Touareg and Cayenne etc were being designed and he still laughs at people who bought the Cayenne because back then it was a worse Touareg for double the money, just with a different Badge. Even interally at VW they knew that the car was worse than the equivalent Touareg, but customers didnt care, they wanted the Porsche Badge
Not true. We had both in our family and the cayenne feel more well build and have better finish. They were build by different people at different factories.
@@meinimoe1346 its the same chassis with the same engines, back then even the same gearbox. Its all platform PL71. Every electronic bit was the same behind the veneer. What led to the Cayenne being less reliable was the switches failing due to porsche having differnet switch gear to VW and Audi, and my guess, not having tested it enough
@Maxi My father has a 2007 Touareg & I have a Cayenne GTS 2008. I know that it's the same chassis, but the car feels completely diffrent & and the car looks diffrent. Even the 4.8L Engine in the Cayenne were only used in the Cayenne & Panamera. So i understand how you can say something like this. The only Toureg feeling you have is the door handle that's it.
The Cayenne is more reliable than the Touareg as far as I can tell.
14:08 Alright Doug, think about it a little harder. Let's say I need to use the cigarette lighter outlet or "automobile auxiliary power outlet" to plug up and recharge my cell phone while I am riding in the back seat of this Cayenne but where, oh where am I going to put the cigarette lighter while I am using the outlet? Maybe I use the storage compartment in the armrest or drop it into the footwell but then it will roll around making noise and be annoying. What should I do? If only the Porsche engineers thought about this and made a little spot to store the lighter where it will be secure while I am using the outlet... Yeah, I can be a smart-ass at times. Love the channel and all your videos. Keep up the great work.
I had an 04 turbo and 08 gts, my favorite suvs I’ve ever owned!!
My fav gen porsche cayenne, these are stunning from a design standpoint. Especially the rear
Yea this gen aged really well, if I wasn’t a car person at all it looks like it could be current model year
@@alp.9672 it aged well indeed, at least the models with nice specs. But also just the design alone i prefer over the newer models, these are so clean. From all angles
@@erikh1041 agreed.
Almost all European cars always had parking lights.
I love mine thanks for the review👏🏾
Im waiting for a 2005 or 2006 Escalade ESV or GMC Yukon Denali XL. Pretty amazing cars for their time, this nav screen reminds me of the one in my 06 Denali. I cornered Doug this summer and said he's waiting for the right one! Clean ones will be future classics no doubt
Classics!?!?? Lol sure they will. The Cadillac Escalade truck…maybe, this upcoming Cadillac Escalade V? Def
