Hello every1 ! my first post~
getting a 2012 Cayenne S and having trouble deciding the seats!

not sure if my order is locked yet but cant stop thinking about this!
i ordered Espresso/Cognac 8way...
but should i cancel the sports exhaust and go for 14 or 18way??

 

how tall are you? I'm 6'3" and really appreciate the seat length adjustment on the 14way seats. plus the lumbar support is nice. I have not sat in the 18way seats so can't comment on those.

 

Agree with Dan on the 14ways. The additional adjustments are fantastic, I didn't realize how much I missed having them for the past 2 years in my previous car. I haven't tried the 18 ways personally, but most everyone seems to really like them. However, I hear they are a snug fit and aren't for everyone.

 

Thanks for the reply people! I guess 14z the answer!!

 

Cancel exhaust you can always change that later if you feel the need. You sit in the seats daily. Get the best you want to splurge for. There is a reason the 18 ways cone standard on the turbo. If I had to do it again 18 way all the way. I used to think the 14 was the best for ne but the way the seats hug you is a great feeling. They hold you with no movement around turns. Most seats you sit on the 18 you sit in. Sooooo perfect.
Now if your a but heftier/wider might want to steer clear of them.
I'm 6 2 and 205lbs and I fit perfectly with plenty of head room to spare and tons of leg room. Happy deciding.... It's never easy

 

Totally agreewith Jace that the exhaust can alway be tinkered with later but you only get one shot with the seats. 14 way or 18 way over the 8 way is a must. The tougher decision is whether to go 14 or 18. It would be great if you could sit in them both and then decide. I ordered the 14 way because I felt I was "climbing over" the bolster on the 18s.

 

nooooooooooooooooooo

 

ohboy... my orders were locked!! for June production~
for my own mental good... "im happy with my configuration!" ^_^
i'll post some pics once it arrives!
i'd say waiting is the hardest part of all... lol

 

Don't worry about it, you don't know what you don't know...

You'll love your Cayenne once it arrives.

 

Dunno I love to chill when I am driving.. I found the 18 way too snug for me.

 

Please read my review on the 18 ways which is certainly not for everyone. I love the sculpted look on those seats which are unique and not seen in other vehicles but you have to sit on them for an extended period of time before you decide to get it. The extended thigh support (also seen in the 14 way) is a big bonus for those with long femurs. The center seat on the rear bench also is compromised due to prominent side bolsters on either side so bear that in mind.

 

My 2006 S has the 8 way seats. Terrible. Would a 14 or 18 way seat swap out be doable. I have had the seat off already to change the battery. Just one disconnect plug that I could see under there. Any idea what a new 14 or 18 way would cost?
