I also believe specific designs are prduced for Honda, Lexus, Mazda, Mazda, Infiniti, Nissan and Toyota.
In other words they are the best in the world with that customer list.
Did we expect anything less ?
(Hope this is the right company, sounds it)
Let me know how well the mods go ? I am pretty sure I will get it...but probably not the chip. Just filter and bypass. Where are you planning on taking it next ??
I don't know what I am at right now but I may wait to see if the chips come down in price. Unless I see something new and exciting of course.
Apart from that just enjoying the drive.
Have fun.
1 - PCMII Version 3.0 ( for Navtech latest issue map disks
2 - Drive by Wire update to smooth transitions in high gears otherwise known as lurching.
I have not been able to find out anything here
Thanks
BTW, the most recent issue of JDPowers Magazine, showed that the car company with the best initial quality is ......Porsche AG...beat everybody in terms of overall company quality.
Breaking it down, then it was Lexus 1st, then Infiniti, then Buick (!!!), then Porsche.
Not bad for such a small car maker .... :-)
I am not technical but he said they flashed the Thats pretty outstanding !
Here is a post from another board FYI
The lastest version for the PST2 is v.18.0, and it was released about three weeks ago. He says this new version now permits the technician to reset the latest (corrected) run map for the DME.
I am not technical but he said they flashed the DME so as to be able to load the new run map. The flashing of course removes the old learned behavior (last 50 starts?). The hesitation we experience is the original run map's bug allowed a slight hesitation which the DME interpreted to be your driving style....so it was a loop, it "saw" aggressive driving and kept trying to adapt.
All I can say is that it worked on mine.....drives very normal.
enjoy your awesome drive, man. To quote what some teens said to me( at 1st I didn't understand) "its' off the hook !" and " this car is clean..!" ......LOLL
Did some experimenting with Susp. settings and performance effects.
Conclusions:
1 - little difference in cornering performance between Sport and Comfort modes.
I noticed this on I80 which has some good hills, rough surface (concrete ripples) and sweeping high speed curves. I went to comfort mode to reduce noise, but noticed that on the curves at speed the suspension really kicked in, leveling the car as I gently held the curves, felt like I was on rails.
2 - Sport mode has greatest effect reducing cross wind buffeting.
These conclusions based on 2 90+ runs, 4 up, V1 active. Passengers did not even notice the speed.
Love it
and also $1000 over invoice from CT dealers.
im still looking for the best car and price. will post
Yes, I think the handling system self adjusts so quick that even if you are in comfort mode, the system will make the tires stick. I do notice a softer ride when going straight over ripples and bumps.
awesome car. I 'm bring it in on Monday to have the hatch fixed.....I broke it. :-(

Any local muffler shop should be able to handle the job. I would Save the old 2nd stage cats, though.
Am I close, mudman ?
Just brought it into dealer today to fix the rear hatch. Told them to upgrade everything to date.....software or recalls. Also to clean up the mess, since we bought the interior warranty. Hope they do their job.... :-)
My question: is the air suspension worth the $ 3200 premium? I have not tested the regular suspension vs the air but would like some observations from those of you who have.
cayennes with the air suspension are fairly rare in combination with PCM, but I'll hold out until I find that vehicle.
One of my customers has a Cayenne Turbo (Black w/ Brown Interior) and I think it just looks great!

Thanks
Take an S out.
It says the 3.2L V6 is borrowed from VW. Porsche designed the intake.
EPA Numbers are 15/19
They say the 9.1 second 0-60 time is with a 6 speed manual (Figure a hair under/over 10 for the Tip). They commented on the V6 Cayenne's "wide, flat torque band." It seems like the numbers for this 5000 pound Porsche don't tell the whole story (as with most cars).
They say a good comparo is between the V6 Cayenne and the V8 Toureg.
Does anybody with a Cayenne know how tall the inside cargo area is (with the seats folded down)?

Great car, replaced an Audi A6 for me, and it drives smoother when needed, stronger all of the time, and handles like a dream on mountain or windy roads. One of the annoying factors, people stop you every where you go to ask about the car...this is not a volks wagon.
When you test drive the tourag, and an x5, and then stop by the porsche dealer the same day...there is no substitute in handling, ride, or quality of the vehicle.
First time drive the A/c just acted on its own putting different modes on randomly including REST which just fogged the windows so bad I could not drive. This was fixed at dealer with rewiring of pinched wires and a completly new control head.
I have two other unsolved issues....constant warning of needing service ......lights do not go on when raining and wipers on.
Dealer says new software on way and I will be notified.
Any comments would be appreciated. I love the car!
thanks
Plus soft feel leather seats. I have test driven and used all PASM Modes, but would like to hear from someone who owns the S and has driven it for awhile with this system. I have had lung surgery and am sensitive to driving comfort. The X5 I have is very bouncy and firm, and I do not like it. I think the S is a very technically superior SUV, and I feel the outside and inside is outstanding. However, if it is firm riding regardless of the PASM Modes, then it would not be for me, even though I like the Porsche. Thanks for help.
In fact you do not lose any handling using comfort mode, but itdoes take the pain out of PA's terrible roads.
I have had mine since June and have 9800 miles under my belt.
That of course is relative, but your comments and observations please. Thanks.
I think with the 18 " wheels and the air suspension on comfort setting, the ride is soft and comfy.
LAst few months I had to bring my father in law to the hospital, he has cancer into the bone and spine, so going over jarring bumps hurts. On the way there, I went over a bump with the setting at "sport", and he complained of pain. I promptly set it at "comfort", and when we went over other bumps, he said it was good, no more pain......
But because personal pain thresholds and comfort levels vary, I would suggest you try it one more time before buying, and just go slower over bumps
.
best wishes on purchasing!
The analog speedo already has both , although emphasis is on "miles" .
You may lose a few Hp due to emissions equipment on US models, but that is easily fixed....ask mudman.... :-)
So yesterday, I went to several Porsche dealerships. It seems as though they already have quite a few number of the V6 models. I know what options she wants:
Basalt Black Metallic/Stone-grey leather
18" Turbo Wheels
Sports Aluminum Package
Automatic Climate Control.
MSRP is @ $47,195.00 USD.
Is it too early to get good discounts on new Cayenne V6's? I know you can get deep ones on the 'S' model (which is why I'm going to get one soon for my wife also). Traditionally, Los Angeles has been known for better deals than here in San Diego (more in stock maybe?). When should we get one? My wife just hates getting cars without a good deal (makes the dealer sweat when she bargains). Also, planning on getting it around March/April/June time-period. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Oh and one more thing. What exactly is the Sports Aluminum Package? Does that just give you aluminum trim inside and outside? And also the Automatic Climate Control- does that just give you auto A/C? Not too familiar with the Porsche options list.
