What's a must have option for CTT?

I'm looking to switch my old '04 Audi A8L to Cayenne Turbo soon. Might just pick from the dealer inventories. But what's a must have option for a Cayenne Turbo so I can look out in the choices? (Other than Premium Package Plus. This is must have) I know they come pretty well equipped as standard for daily use, but the extra options are awesome. Sport package? Adaptive seat or 14 way seat?

Thanks in advance for the input.

Full leather interior is a must have

If you want
a) performance: PDCC, PTV is a must have. Many love the paddle shifter steering wheel but you lose mutlifunction and heated steering wheel option.
b) love music and have rough roads: Burmester and noise/thermal insulated glass is a
must have.
c) Car is a keeper (more than 5 to 7 years) then natural leather (as it wears very
well with time) is a must have.
d) Roof rails (as it cannot be added later date)
e) Pana roof is something you should strongly consider
f) For those who fit like a glove into the 18-way seats (like in my case) it is pure heaven, for those who don't fit inside this seat it is torture and you are much better of with the 14-way. The thigh support on these seats are amazing.

Remember when it comes to resale, you will eat the cost of most options. I strongly beleive that the 2011 cayenne is a great package be it the V6, V8 (NA) or the CTT. So you really can't go wrong. If you have not done so already, please check my thread on the w00tMOBILE options. I still have quite a few options to review but have not had the time to drive my wife's Cayenne due to my travel schedule.

Haha, I agree with the above, especially with current gas prices.

Thanks for your great detailed feedback. You seem to really enjoy the car.

I have been looking around my local dealer inventories website, can't seem to find one with loaded options. All of them are either Premium package or Sport package (PDCC & PTV). None have them both. This CT will be for my lil sister. Sport are not most crucial for her, but just that I want to be able to enjoy it from time to time when I drive such a monster Turbo car.

Also, anyone know what's a good discount for CT?

If you are never going to use the roof rails and you want a more sporty look, I'd go without them.

Jesh, thanks for sharing. Your CT has all the setup I'm looking for. It's perfect.

Most options are a must have if you're going to splurge and get the CTT. Don't regret bit getting an option, get them all. That's my motto good luck

I test drove a CTT with PDCC+PTV and was amazed how much better it handles compare to my current CS. Hence I ordered it on my 6/8 build 12'CTT

since this is for your sister perhaps don't go with sport package if she'll prefer the multi-function steering wheel. (ordering pdcc+ptv separately will cost more but IMO woman drivers will prefer a multi function steering wheel better!)
