My Turbo is Here!

Here she is! a very brief review and not in any order - Gobbs of power and torque when you want it with super smooth delivery of that power. the handling and power of this vehicle is amazing! PTV is great, PCM is greatly improved but with a steep learning curve (i am technically inclined and still think so), start/stop is nicely implemented, Bose is good, 18 way sport seats are a little tight on the back and shoulders, brakes are super, TFT screen in cluster is highly customizable, MF steering wheel is nice but it doesn't go as low as I would like (wouldnt matter if mf or not), PDCC is nice but not neccessary (I drove one with it, but did not get it), armrest is small and has very little capacity, map pockets in doors are greatly improved, interior is spacious and plenty of trunk space, panoroof is very nice and shade is near opaque, ergonomics are near perfect (i thought the first gen was perfect), brakes stop you in a hurry, transmission is flawless in automatic, heated seats and steering wheel are quick to warm up, 21's provide a firm ride in any pasm setting, LCA is not neccessary, nonsmoker packge replaces ashtray with useless compartment (ashtray would probably be better to hold change), rear view mirror is a little small. light comfort package is so worth the $250. That's it in a nutshell. Want much more detail? Ask me specifics or See W00T !

Love the angle on your first pic
The color combo is elegant and looks great with the black
I see you kept the model designation,but had Porsche removed...

Thank you! Yes I had PORSCHE removed but am having 2nd thoughts because Cayenne Turbo is a bit small (its smaller than it was on the last gen). What do you (and others) think?

Love the car. Not so sure about the model desig alone. Maybe if you move it up a bit?? Look really low alone. May just need getting used to though.

Congrats!

Congrats, ok. Beautiful ride and very nice review. Enjoy her safely in good health. I too agree. Move up the model designation to center it .. the factory should have done that, I am surprised that they did not. It looks a little to small, low and lonely. I wish they had espresso all season mats. I am not liking the black ones (which is what I have).

Congrats..thats a beautiful color combo..love the stainless skid plates..Kinda surprising that the factory opted not to center your model designation..i agree..seems a little low..im surprised you're not getting any kicks out of the LCA. I'm really finding it useful.. not sure if its just me but when i drive this Cayenne, i finally understand those words on the side mirror "objects are closer than they appear"!! Also, i've found the non smokers ashtray to be a nice home for my iphone..

Agreed about the all season. I'm getting the Cayenne turbo script used on the last gen installed.

Plus it would be a nice tribute to your previous gen Cayenne. I like that idea.

Very nice car and pictures. So did you get PDCC or not?
