2008 CTT initial impressions
2008 CTT initial impressions
Just returned from a 2000 mile round trip in our new CTT. Some observations:
1)excellent touring car. Gobbles up distances with ease and is very comfortable. No tram lining despite 21" Pirellis and constant sport mode.
2)HVAC works great - constant cold air despite 96F+ temps and running 12 hours straight
3)sound system is one of the better ones I have ever heard in a factory car
4)slight shudder on passing maneuvers in the driveline - not really hesistation but I can feel a slight shake or stumble like the engine is running rough. I tried adding octane boost to the 93 but no improvement until temps cooled in the evenings to <85F - is this the dreaded coil issues?
5)minimal brake dust compared to other Porsches
6)horrendous gas mileage - cruising at 90-100 mph we got 14mpg with a 20mph tailwind. On the return into a headwind we got 12mpg!
7)overall a great touring vehicle, pretty stealthy and on par with our old E55 with respect to long distance cruising
