Has anyone driven a GTS with PDCC vs standard config? Is it really worth the 5k? Currently Driving A C4S, and like to throw it around the curves but never plan to track the PGTS. Will I be hating not getting the option? Currently spec'ing out a 2014

Picked up my new 2013 GTS 2 months ago and my only regret is not having the PDCC as an option. Check out my video first drive and you can see the roll in the GTS has I go around the corner.

I can definately feel the difference with PDCC (esp. on a Cayenne)
Did a comparison with a glass of water the salesman brought on our test drive, lets just say afterward even my wife said we need to order PDCC with the car. It is not just for the turns, somehow it makes the road bumps feel softer as well.

Don't go without it!!

My wife noticed immediately as well without me ever mentioning it. We hadn't gone two miles, and she said 'the car isn't leaning - that's really cool'. I was driving VERY conservatively as I always do with my wife in the car.

I agree it also makes the ride better, and when you really push the car, there is just no comparison. There is an almost complete absence of squat/dive on acceleration/braking as well the absence of body roll. I routinely threshold and trail brake into turns and the balance and weight transfer of the car is just stunning with the PDCC.

Get it because it makes the car better for everyday driving. Get it because it makes the car better for hard driving and the track. Honestly if I could only pick one option for the car, this would be it.

Could somebody help with PDCC Reservoir part number ? Is it different from Power Steering Reservoir 97035907100 ?
I know that on Cayenne they are the same
95531401520 and besides that this 95531401520 goes to Panamera Hybrid only as Power Steering Reservoir

This may be just me, but I think I can feel the car rotate better when I take a curve fast/hard (such as an 'on-ramp' of a highway) - I normally would expect the back end to slide out a bit, but I actually feel the whole car rotate around the curve. This may be the benefits of PTV.

I have PDCC on a 991 and panamera GTS and wouldn't order one without it. It allows the suspension to operate independently over bumps while going straight then holds it level in turns. Once I tried it I won't go without it. It's pricey but worth it in my opinion especially for heavier vehicles.

I have checked under plastic cover next to coolant tank and there is nothing ...

On Panamera, reservoir for PDCC is common with power steering fluid and works with a tandem pump. This is actually the black tank.
Without PDCC the tank would have been smaller and white.

Thank You very much for confirming my 'suspicions' . I was looking to diagrams and was coming to the same conclusion that reservoir is common for PDCC and Power Steering.
Now just have to figure out why part number's (which I've got from parts supplier) 97035907101 last digit is different from the one is installed in my car 97035907100
