Hey guys. Got an opportunity, and would like some input.

I have a 2011 Cayenne Turbo. Love the vehicle. Got it when my X5M was lemon'd. However, didn't have a couple things that I would have gotten if I could have ordered (PCCB, Burmester, Espresso/Cognac interior). I look forward to driving it every day. Have really gotten to know the vehicle, and am enjoying it immensely.

Now, I had a Panamera loaner when my skid plate was put on, and fell in love with it (even though a 6 cylinder). I have never gotten so many "looks" from a vehicle before (not that that is the sole reason I like it). But, more importantly, was the first car I had driven since my E60 M5 that made me look forward to getting back into it. I have had an opportunity to trade my 5 month old CTT and not take too much of a haircut, while geting about 8k off an in stock Panamera Turbo.

Should I trade?

Things I would not have on the Panamera that I currently have are PTV/PDCC, Panoramic roof, Paddles. I would gain sport chrono pack, natural interior, Burmester, MF steering wheel. Any opinions? I know this is highly subjective.

 

Well lets compare. Speed, comfort, interior, handling, style(sujective) all goes to the panamera turbo. Space, offroad capability goes to the cayenne. It all depends on your needs. Im bais cause i hv a panni n loving every moment of it. Yes, im always looking forward to drive it everyday

 

Make only thing the same between the two here. Your call on what you prefer. Panni certainly more of a head turner, but Cay very functional.

 

Without the PTV/PDCC you maybe disappointed. My .02

 

Optho,

That is my very worry. I may just wait. I have 2 small kids (3.5 and 20 months) and the bike a lot. The extra room in my Cayenne will be more handy. Wait couple years and make the move to a custom Panny Turbo. That way I can get what I want out of it.

PTV/ PDCC is a must IMO.

 

With Air Susp, PDCC and PTV the Cayenne is a beast (and so too the Panni). Difference is night and day. Honestly.

 

I like the PDCC but I would do the trade. No question.

 

That's how I ended up with a Cayenne. My wife didn't like the car seat by the door in the Panny. I do enjoy the panoramic roof of the Cayenne. My friends E63 AMG has a translucent roof. Wish it was an option on the Panny.
