Now that you have had your Cayenne for a month or year+ now what options do you:

Wish your Cayenne had?

Could live without?

Thank the Porsche god your car came with?

If you have the time elaborate Why?

I think this will be a fun exercise for both sides of the fence those who own and those who are seeking to purchase.

Thanks for the input....

air suspension - improved ride & handling

power tailgate latch - must have, otherwise closing the tailgate is a nightmare!

Bi-Xenon - must car have it anyway, but make sure urs have it. very bright for night driving.

find one without the front lisence holder installed... i hate them for drilling my bumper.

wish it was a Turbo.

hey Eric,
how close/sure are u getting one? we should do a groupbuy if u want to join. so far i got 2 Turbos in.

This may sound silly but I just love my carbon fiber. It is a personality flaw b/c I know it is $, not performance oriented, and bling.....but I LOVE it. Also like the air suspension. The ride and towing characteristics are profound. It is also cool to not have to take an air can to the track b/c the outlet under the passenger seat will inflate tires quickly. Rear tire carrier really finishes off the look of the car for me against the basalt black. And it has two looks: one with the black tire cover and matching basalt black center, and one look without the cover and the beautiful wheel showing. Besides, the thing is absolutely solid and has a biased hinge to open and close itself with the electric release. And finally the painted silver aluminum front grill work just makes the front seem so much better. No options I don't like but I didn't get NAV and am not interested in it.

James- What is the cost for the added CF interior? Do you have any pictures? I have not seen any with CF! I would love to see more pics of your Cayenne!

Wish it has air suspension, so I can get the techart kit to lower it even more


Park Assist, this car is a bomb, its not small so Park Assist is very useful


Bi-Xenon, this thing is awesome, love it so much!


I also wish its a turbo LOL... my dad won't allow me...



Arling: damn, you are too rich, you even do a groupbuy for a turbo...

Air Suspension – this is probably a nice feature to have since you can adjust the ride comfort.
Electronic Comfort package – I’m tried of slamming the rear hatch to close it.
Moonroof – I could have done without.
Bi-Xenon - nice to have.
NAV – this is nice to have, but not a must.
Spare tire – Have to have this, doesn’t make sense that Porsche made this an option.
Memory Seats - A must if you are going to have more than one driver.

James, could you please post some pix with the CF interior? I'm about ready to order a CTT, but now you've got me thinking about the CF interior option too.
