Erin Massey with Alexandra and Lillyana
(which has happened to me in other cars, including a Cadillac), and handled rapid accents over mountains with ease. The more I pushed the Cayenne, the more it seemed to yell back, “That was easy, what else do you have!”
We also decided to cruise to the top of the mountains and see Estes Park. I have struggled in the past with other cars trying to maintain horsepower in the oxygen depleted altitude. Again, the Cayenne had zero issues. Highway 36 to Estes Park and the Rocky Mountain National Park was a joy to drive. Although not a Boxster or 911, our Cayenne was quite nimble on switch backs as we looked up through the open sunroof at the mountain cliffs. I am always concerned with hot brakes coming down mountains, but we had no issues.
Our rst lengthy family trip ended with us leaving Denver in a blizzard! Of course, the four wheel drive handled the sloshy snow with ease. The Cayenne had seen hot temperatures, desert, high speeds, high altitudes, snow, and some rough terrain. It felt like an honor to have driven it. It de nitely laid in stone my new found respect for Porsche. The best part is it made our trip stress free with no accidents or breakdowns. I think the Cayenne is the perfect sports car in case you need to take a long trip with a spouse and two children. Not bad for an 11 year old car on a budget
