Sport Mode on all the time?
I was wondering how many here have it engaged all the time. I usually have it off and run in normal PASM setting.

I will say that hitting that Sport button is like giving the Cayenne a hot cattle prod to the behind. The vehicle firms up and gets aggressive with the shifts, it is a blast to use. I guess that's why I don't have it on all the time.

Every now and then it's fun to get that rush.

As I stated in another thread, so cool to see a button actually have a use and not just some gimmick.

I would assume that having it on and then saving the settings via the seat memory will keep it on as that options will also keep the engine on/off on if you set it up for that.

Is the middle ride height noticeably more comfortable than low? I leave it in low since I can't really notice a difference and since I like the look better.

Any actual stats on the sport mode's effect on mileage? My mileage has been great, but only use sport about 25% of the time.

I ride in the highest until I get to 50 mph when I can because I think the higher you raise the more floaty in straight driving, yet it still holds turns well when stiffness is set.
I prefer the looks of the lowest drivable level without question.
Nice to have all these options.

I guess I just don't think about it. It is part of my start up routine.

Turn ignition.
Sport button.
PASM button to normal.

Takes less than 5 secs...

Is gas mileage significantly reduced?
