things i am not crazy about the Cayenne S

1. heated seats work awesome but the heated steering wheel barely heats up. I guess it's good for me cuz more reason to get the CF Steering wheel. :-)
2. Gas mileage - this was something I knew in advance.
3. light Comfort Package - the lights stay on, how can i turn this off while driving?
4. 18s look way too small. Need my 22s very soon.
5. Having to break-in for 2k miles. I wish this was already done at the factory, so I could drive out of the box.

I think that's it. Everyone of my friends are so envious and are just amazed at the SUV. It's so funny the smile u see on their face. :-)

Are you talking about the lights in the footwell area? If so, I had the same problem when I first picked up my CS... drove me nuts for about 150 miles of dark interstate. Play with the overhead buttons, you'll figure it out. The second button in from the left is a dimmer for those lights and the second button in from the right is the on/off for those same lights.

HTH.

Deetz,

I am getting the TechArt wheels (formula). My whole car will be TechArt. I am planning on getting the turbo bumper, turbo techart add on and formula wheels soon. The only thing I am deciding is should i wait til i break-in the 2000 miles or just get it immediately.

Peters wheels are awesome, but I have someone in the family who is a distributor for HRE so I can get awesome deal on those.

8.4mpg. damn. that must hurt...

The mileage should get much better as the car "breaks" in. My wife's audi wagon got 8-10mpg and now get 17-18mpg.

I used to get 14, now I get 16.5. It's better, but still sucks gas.

Kiby: how do you drive your car? Like my grandma? LOL! why do I get 8.4mpg... -_-

Raja: I was just like you when I first got the car but after a while I am not too crazy about techart, yes I love techart but I want different kind of wheels so it looks more unique. Try HRE trust me You will love it!!
