Price Range: $48,200 to $107,100

The 2012 Porsche Cayenne eases the dilemma of choosing between utility and performance by offering three gas powered models of its powerful five-passenger SUV (a fourth is a hybrid that is covered separately).

Introduced in 2003, the Cayenne was given its first major redesign in 2011. Only a few changes were made for 2012 models, including an available lane-change assist system that helps alert the driver of vehicles in blind spots. Porsche also made a few color and trim modifications, such as new wheel finishes and offering new seat-stitching packages.

Cayenne models are distinguished by their powertrains. The base Cayenne starts off with a 300-horsepower, 3.8-liter V-6. The Cayenne S steps up to a 400-horsepower 4.8-liter V-8, while the Cayenne Turbo adds twin turbochargers to crank out 500 horsepower.

An eight-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission is standard on all V-8 models and is available on the base Cayenne. All models also feature active all-wheel-drive that usually drives the rear wheels but sends power up front when needed for extra traction.

The interior takes many of its design cues from the original Carerra, with a high center console and traditional five round gauges on the instrument panel. Seats are trimmed in grained leather and rear-passenger comfort is enhanced with a sliding bench seat for extra legroom and an adjustable backrest for a relaxed seating position. A moonroof is standard on all models except the base. The standard audio system has 10 speakers and a 7-inch touchscreen color display. Sound options include a 14-speaker Bose surround sound arrangement or a 1,000-watt Burmeister premium audio that includes 16 speakers. All Cayennes come with Bluetooth®, iPod interface, and USB port. Navigation is optional.

While the Cayenne was the first four-door Porsche and provides a modicum of SUV benefits, it’s the brand’s legendary driving experience translates seamlessly to the Cayenne. Porsche’s Active Suspension Management (PASM) is optional on all non-turbo models and gives the driver a choice of three damper-control settings. The Cayenne Turbo comes with a standard air suspension and PASM. Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control is another option that actively stabilizes the vehicle throughout different roll forces.

Standard safety features include traction control, anti-lock brakes, side airbags and side-curtain airbags. Parking assist and rearview camera are optional.

The Cayenne is in the same class as the Lexus RX, Mercedes-Benz M-Class, Audi Z7 and Lincoln MKT. Some offer more utility, towing, and off-road capability. Others may have more luxury features or a lower price. But the 2012 Porsche Cayenne is designed to impress through speed, handling, and reputation—and therefore it does not disappoint.

Secret 1
Consumer Incentives

Zero percent financing, employee discount, cash back, out-the-door price tags...

Most dealers work hard to offer the public competitive prices. These incentives can grab your attention, but they can also obscure the actual terms you're getting on your purchase.

How can you fully understand incentives to get the lowest possible price on your car?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 2
Finance & Insurance

Most state franchise laws prohibit manufacturers from selling cars directly to the public, so the dealer will be your middleman. But in terms of financing and insurance, you can choose a bank or the dealer directly.

How can you determine what's in your best interest?

Secret 3
Additional Costs

Destination charges, taxes, license and title fees, advertising fees... When going to a dealership, you must ask for an explanation of any fee you don't understand. But you need to choose your battles wisely. Your local car dealer may have taken a loss or slim profit along the way, and your fighting over something like a doc fee when the deal is nearly wrapped up may be counterproductive.

In any case, there are many fees and charges in the sale process: some inevitable, others questionable. How do you tell them apart?

Secret 4
Trade-in Value

If you currently own a car, it probably represents profit. The question is, whose profit will it be?

With few exceptions, you'll get the most money for your used car by selling it privately. That's because dealers pay wholesale prices — not retail prices — for used cars, and they sell them at retail.

Your current car's value can be used to lower the price on your new car. However, most people underestimate their used car's value when going to a dealership. How can you maximize your value?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 5
Dealer Holdback

The car manufacturer holds back a fraction of the price of all vehicles the dealership sells. Then, it returns the money to the dealership, usually on a quarterly basis.

Dealer holdback began its life as a safety net that ensured the manufacturers would have a security deposit of sorts if a dealership missed payments, and the dealerships would have money on hand to cover overhead costs when the holdback was returned.

How can you take advantage of dealer holdbacks to get the bottom line price?

Secret 6
Dealer Incentives

Unlike consumer incentives, dealer incentives are factory-to-dealer incentives that reduce the dealer's true cost to buy the vehicle from the factory to below invoice.

Manufacturers offer these incentives on a regional basis to generate sales on specific models. These incentives are sometimes referred to as "spiffs," and they can touch off competition among dealers to move slower-selling stock.

For instance, a dealer incentive may kick in when a certain sales target is reached, with each subsequent sale resulting in a higher factory-to-dealer rebate. How can you benefit from that?
