Also, the adaptive throttle makes the cayenne very docile after a lot of commuting. If you really want to see what the car is like you need to perform an owner-change-over and reset the program maps. That, or drive it like you stole it for 20 minutes (hard to do within the law).

Or you can just hit the Sport button!

That sport button was a very smart move. Not that I hate the planet, but sometimes I want to drive 'spiritedly' for a few blocks in exchange for a little extra fuel, and then go back to normal commuting. Unfortunately that button doesn't exist on an 04.

Turning PSM off will achieve similar results in an 04.

20 minutes?!?!

Dude, its a Porsche. You should always drive it like you stole it

Exactly. Anyone who steps out of a Boxster and into, well, about anything else, whatever they step into will suffer by comparison to how nimble and connected the Boxster is.

If I'm a smart dealer, I have a Tahoe and maybe even a standard suspension X5 available so my Cayenne people can drive those first.

This helps the shift points, holding gears a little longer (up to about 3200 RMP if I'm not mistaken) but is no substitute for resetting the throttle map, or the sport button on the newer models.

The orig poster doesn't have a sport button on his 04 Cayenne.

Yes, I'm aware of that... but I do!
