The 2008-2010 Porsche Cayenne GTS (957) is a performance-oriented luxury SUV, praised for its engaging handling and powerful V8 engine. While some initially criticized its departure from Porsche's sports car tradition, the GTS was lauded for its sharper dynamics compared to the standard Cayenne. It's famous for its surprising athleticism for an SUV and, less so, for its fuel consumption. Today, it remains a compelling choice for enthusiasts seeking a capable, sporty SUV with a dose of Porsche pedigree, suitable for daily driving and spirited excursions.

Owning a 2008-2010 Porsche Cayenne GTS (957) can incur higher-than-average operating expenses. Fuel costs are significant due to its V8 engine's thirst for premium gasoline. Reliability concerns include potential issues with the driveshaft, cooling system, and electrical components. Maintenance costs are notably higher than mainstream SUVs, with specialized parts and labor increasing expenses. While insurance costs can be elevated due to the vehicle's luxury and performance status, they might not be unusually high compared to other high-performance SUVs of its era. Overall, prospective owners should budget for premium fuel, specialized repairs, and potentially higher insurance.
