Smile 2014 Cayenne GTS - New Car

Folks,

Just picked up my 2014 Porsche Cayenne GTS. Previously had a 2012 Cayenne TURBO.

I have a 42" waist and had trouble with the 18-way Adaptive Sport Seats in the Turbo. Big fellas should get the 14-way flatter seats, much more comfortable. The Panorama Sunroof is excellent.

Options include:

1D6 - Trailer hitch without tow ball
2PH - Sports steering wheel incl. steering-wheel heating
3FU - Panorama Roof System
4A3 - Heated Front Seats
4D3 - Seat Ventilation (Front)
7T1 - Porsche Communication Management (PCM) with Navigation Module
7X8 - Reversing Camera with ParkAssist Front and Rear
7Y1 - Lane Change Assist (LCA)
9JB - Smoker package
9Q - Meteor Grey Metallic
9VL - BoseŽ Surround Sound System
CN5 - 21" Cayenne SportEdition Wheel Painted with Wheel Arch Extension
EXT - TPMS - Tire Pressure Monitoring System
PE5 - 14-way Power Seats w/ Memory Package (w/o AlcantaraŽ)
PH7 - Carbon Fiber Interior Package Including Selector Lever
PP6 - Light Comfort Package with Memory Package
UN1 - Online Services
YC - Leather interior incl. Alcantara(R) - Black

This SUV is amazing. The sound is incredible and it handles a bit tighter and sits lower.

For TURBO lovers; It is not as fast, but sure feels and sounds faster.

Looks great!

She is a beauty. Any interior pics?

Does entry and drive come standard on the GTS? Wish we had it.

While I appreciate no good deed goes unpunished.....please work on that 42" waist so you can enjoy your GTS for many, many more years. I mean this in the best way!

Jax-

Beautiful car. Very interested in further thoughts on the GTS v. Turbo. I currently have a 2012 CTT with almost 20K miles and was thinking of getting into a leftover 2013 GTS (or Turbo) for a few reasons. I have not pulled the trigger on the GTS as I am concerned about the lack of torque as compared with the turbo. I have driven both and the GTS is a very linear car but seemed to lack the oomph needed when I wanted to accelerate. The exhaust sound was great but not looking for that type of sounds for my Cayenne, I leave that up to the 911. GTS handled great, even w/o PDCC.

But, I think the GTS is the best looking in the Cayenne family.......

Some more pics would be great. Enjoy that beauty!

Thanks for the feedback! I'll try and get a slimmer waist, always challenging.

Entry and Drive is an option on all Cayenne models.

The TURBO vs GTS debate is an old one with many threads available. I doubt I can add any value to previous discussions but I'll try.

TURBO clearly has monster power delivered by a lot more Torque. But the Turbo, at least standard, is a quiet environment and a more luxury ride.

GTS seems to have a sportier suspension, sits lower, and has a marvelous sound. For me, it is quick enough. I find the GTS more FUN TO DRIVE fast around town. And it is less expensive.

No clear winner, they're both great cars. Each has their own personality.

Best Wishes, John Bruns
