Your reviews are always common sense and you seem to hit on everything that I find relevant and interesting. Someone like Doug De Muro is purely a showman and the vehicles are like his pretty assistant. You are *class*
One of The best reviews. Nice with The time labels in The discribtion👌🏾. There arent a lot of video’s including The sport exhaust. I order with But cant find good video’s.
Trillions like and best comment for you because you are best on Earth and follower respect you,we need videos in Real 120fps 4K,8K and Sound in FullHD 3D
Paul, of all the car reviewers on the net you by far in my opinion are the go to guy for fair unbiased reviews No BS attempt at sarcasm or comedy Just straight informative details You over do it though with the wanky softness gauge Keep it up mate No 1 reviewer
The turbo coupé is this month's car in the 2020 Porsche calendar and it honestly looks way nicer in lava orange compared to the silver metallic. Great and interesting video
A good review as always. I love Porsche but man they love an option! Some things that are not standard is just ridiculous. Keyless entry, radar cruise....all standard on 30k Hyundai's but optional on a 130K Cayenne. Crazy.
When I was younger, people often spoke about people buying a car “for the badge” and at the time I assumed luxury cars were nicer versions of mainstream cars, better in every way - it didn’t make sense to me - if it was better, what was wrong with getting it and surely it wouldn’t be about the badge as it’s a plain better car. Now that I’ve seen things like this over the years, especially in a position to fully research and decide between an entry level Audi vs a fully specced out Mazda/Skoda for similar pricing, still favouring the latter. Yes the luxury car usually drives better but mainstream cars are truly catching up with every generation - but I also can’t deny there is brand value in a badge. While a $130k car will drive better than a $30k car, this is to be expected with that extra $100k overhead, and no feature on a cheaper car should be optional. It does point to brand value that they think they aren’t on the same playing field, and that within VAG Group someone will pick a VW over a Skoda, a Audi over a VW, a Porsche over an Audi (or BMW) and in that way they don’t truly have to be competitive to “lesser” brands. A Skoda Octavia Limited Ed has things for a third of the price (Matrix LED headlights, heated, ventilated, electric, massage front seats, multicolour ambient lighting, rear seat 3rd climate zone and heated rear seats with sunshades, wireless CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, full digital cockpit) that will cost more than the entire price of the Skoda to option on an already $150k base price Porsche, really boggles my mind.
Interesting how at 120k or so this doesn't have felt lined door bins but everything else is felt lined like the glove box. Or was it just bad camera angle?
You're right, Peter! Very interesting observation. The Kodiaq RS we tested recently (www.carexpert.com.au/review/2020-skoda-kodiaq-rs-review/) had felt lined door pockets and felt lined everything now that I think of it!
thanks for a great review, I see this car pretty much the same 👍 at first I thought the brake rotors are somewhat small for a Porsche - it was because I've seen the Turbo S review lately 🙂 anyway, with Porsche - as with any other German premium makes - options are plentiful and expensive. but what I really don't like are those shiny, finger-print catching piano black pieces and touch elements instead of proper physical buttons - but in some way it's better to have greyed out icon of missing feature that you barely see rather than "spacer" button doing nothing. bottom line, if I should pick my top sporty premium SUV, I'd go for Porsche, despite Q8 looking much more better.
Good points all round, @Car Mojo! The piano black is hard to keep clean and a little frustrating to deal with. Brake sizing on SUVs is hard work, especially when they stick big wheels like on this car. The brakes end up looking small despite being comparatively huge!
I am looking at replacing my 2017 Range Rover Sport HSE Dynamic SDV8 with either one of these or the Audi Q8. Will be test driving next week. This video is quite helpful. Just need to find a good review on the Q8.
@carExpert - is the Porsche sports exhaust system really makes any difference specially when this an e hybrid engine? I like the sporty sound but not sure if I should go for PSE or aftermarket exhaust on my e hybrid.
Great detailed review. Thank you. May I please suggest to expand the interior hardness measurements and obtain data also on the front and rear doors, middle console etc. I noticed that many car journalist talk only about the soft materials and neglect often the cheap scratchy hard plastics that can be usually found on the top and side of the centre console and the bottom part of the doors. I am not sure that there is any value to add a quantitative value and measure just the top dash and the middle front armrest that is almost always soft. Another very useful measurements would be standardised acceleration time measurements, e.g. 60-100 km/h as well as loudness measurements in dB at 110km/h. If you would also create a table to compare individual cars that would be great. Not many RUclips reviewers do quantitative measurements that would allow direct comparisons between cars in addition to qualitative and subjective assessments. Many thanks.
Thanks for the feedback, Adams. We'd love to extend the testing, but it would eat up more of our time. We will try and include a paint thickness test as well for something different.
If Porsche make just a few basic feature standard without jacking up he price too much, Cayenne will out sale X5 I mean it is one of the best looking SUV out there
It’s probably the thing with the VW group. Even with the Touareg now you can add options worth upto 30k on a premium version. To be honest you’d wish all those options when you are thinking of buying these 😛
Not bad Paul you always do a great job. But for me a Porsche should all ways be a sport car not a 4 door sedan or an suv . But I love 💕 the system. & a Great Dash, May Be I am from the old school. 🍷.
Porsche appears to have really upped their game with the connectivity app. Some good features and better design than the BMW Connected app. Some really well thought out stuff throughout the car. Reminding customers of the options they didn’t check with those non-functional buttons is kind of unforgivable though. Is that sports response function overboost? As for the Taycan, that’s where the game is headed, I guess. Haven’t driven one, but I have driven a 911, and I wonder if an electric vehicle could have that same charm and excitement. Keep up the great work. 👍🏻
It's a really good SUV, unlike you I don't actually mind the rear design, I actually think it looks slightly better than the Mercedes/BMW coupe SUV rear look, however the front is just bland and very VW like with all the horizontal lines design. I also don't have good experience with gloss piano black buttons and trim finishes, they smudges as soon you touch them and almost entirely scratches after you wipe them clean. The infotainment is good but then again I hate touch-based UI since they leave fingerprint smudges everywhere and this particular UI is a bit challenging to interact with your hands and fingers as the menu buttons are small and tucked right to the edges, definitely hard to use while driving.
Great feedback, Edgar. You're right on the design front! It's very subjective :-D and agree with piano black. The stuff is insanely hard to keep clean. Not sure why manufacturers keep using it!

Thanks! We're glad you like it :-)

Doug is pretty detailed too
Since I found this Channel , I’m going through every single videos ! Love your review !!
One of the best reviews to be honest, no other reviews pointed out the active grill or Porsche connect features
Thanks, mate! Appreciate it.
CarExpert can you do a reliability review on the new cayennes, suspension design, , may be raise it on a hoist and show some details , etc

best in the class .. nothing come close to Cayenne when it comes to driving dynamics
Really love the detailed review mate. Very sophisticated car isn’t it :)
Thanks Ken! Appreciate it. It's a great car - it's solid AF and feels competent on the road :-D
Paul, of all the car reviewers on the net you by far in my opinion are the go to guy for fair unbiased reviews
No BS attempt at sarcasm or comedy
Just straight informative details
You over do it though with the wanky softness gauge
Keep it up mate

Great and interesting video
Love that Lava Orange! I drove a Turbo S in that colour in Germany last year and it turns heads!
Please do a review of the 2021 range rover evoqud

I have loved your auto journalism for years mate.
Probably the best in Aussie. However, you got to let the piano black thing go bro.

Great review. 10/10
Thanks man!
Stock? And is the sound the same in the US as it is in Australia
If Porsche make just a few basic feature standard without jacking up he price too much, Cayenne will out sale X5
I mean it is one of the best looking SUV out there
Great job thanx 👍
No problem 👍
Cayenne S. Have you driven one to compare to this Cayenne?
how do you configure the diamond button to exhaust button?
Does the rear window goes all the way down?
What is the durometer of the leather seats lol.
😅 Ha ha, that would be interesting to see!
Porsche always have their way with the options, it's actually a monstrosity in australia
Very true! They still do it because people pay, so they'll get away with it while they can.
It’s probably the thing with the VW group. Even with the Touareg now you can add options worth upto 30k on a premium version. To be honest you’d wish all those options when you are thinking of buying these 😛
They'd be a steal second hand!
It's sad how much $$$ we have to pay in Oz, when UAE, USA, Europe all the vehicles are 1/2 the price we must shell out
The 2017 Cayenne was brilliant inside, gets me how these guys just want living size monitors in car..
Great review - the car is a bit underwhelming but I must say Porsche has really improved their infotainment system
Thought a coupe had 2 doors (or 3)
Not bad Paul you always do a great job. But for me a Porsche should all ways be a sport car not a 4 door sedan or an suv . But I love 💕 the system. & a Great Dash, May Be I am from the old school. 🍷.
A lot of people think the same way! You can't go past a proper 911 :_D
I think that the cayenne in its coupe form is more a Porsche suv than the normal cayenne
Interesting! The coupe is actually marginally heavier than the regular Cayenne, FYI.
Love the car 🚙 key .
Me too - standard across the Porsche range as well :_D

Thanks for the comment! Yes, the Sport Response button is a kind of overboost. It just reduces any lag on throttle applications.
It's a really good SUV, unlike you I don't actually mind the rear design, I actually think it looks slightly better than the Mercedes/BMW coupe SUV rear look, however the front is just bland and very VW like with all the horizontal lines design. I also don't have good experience with gloss piano black buttons and trim finishes, they smudges as soon you touch them and almost entirely scratches after you wipe them clean.

A coefficient of drag 0.35 of the Cayenne Coupe actually isn't bad for such a car...
Agreed! Thought it would be higher.
Could you tell me what "DAHTA" is in English please ???
I know of DATA in the I.T. field but not DAHTA.
PLEASE AND THANK YOU
Android Auto is never coming !
😢
I seriously hate how they call it a coupe.
Avery thing is an xtra in this car but not the engine .
Very true!
It’s really hideous and truly overpriced with some choice options.
Some of the gear should definitely be standard!
Porsche aint looking for broke motherfuckers
You just can’t afford it... hence your sour comment...
@@edwill1595 i can only afford a Suzuki Swift, but I can salivate over an exotic European. I can look at Charlize Theron without picking faults. Unattainable, yeah, but desirable
The front of the car looks old.
Shart your mouth
No way elect. Cars Not for me . 👇
Great review Paul, agree Porsche wanker mode
Mate if you can’t afford don’t go there stick with you Hyundai… 😂😂😂
