Yes.

We test drove a Cayenne a few weeks ago and I asked the sales rep about it, made some weird excuse saying it would be on window sticker. Caught him off guard when I used it lol

My 2016 Macan has the brake hold also. I think they’ve been doing it for a while.

And it’s only on PDK. Manual doesn’t have the hold feature. (It has a “hill hold” or whatever it’s called, but not the same thing)

For those of us without push-to-start - you don't have to hold the fob after twisting to start. Just give it a twist and let go.

My SA recommended this and actually programed it for me during delivery. It does come in handy I push it while pulling into a spot.

If my base widget display doesn't load completely in any sort of a reasonable amount of time, switching to the "Nav" function momentarily and then back to "Home" and I find that the "Home" screen will now be 100% loaded.
Unexpected would describe the fuel economy I'm experiencing. I'm not a Lead Foot but I do occasionally need to overtake or pass another car as rapidly as this car is capable of doing. I'd call my driving "Spirited" and in roughly 19,000 miles I'm averaging slightly over 22 mpg. That makes me a happy camper. I didn't expect it, but I do like it.

It is not precise, unfortunately. It is measuring temp of air in tire and not temp of tire tread which is what I want to know. But better than no info at all.

That was my point. Back-up camera is just a nice add even if not perfect. Even if it had no camera, it wouldn’t prevent me from buying this, or any other brand as long as ithe function of the vehicles driving dymanics met my criteria.

The water temperature display never goes above 194 degrees even if the water temp is higher than that.

How do you know it's above 194?

You don't know how high it reaches as the digital gage is capped at 194 for some dumb reason.

I believe it shows 194 up until 235 and then it shows the actual temperature?
the way they have it set up. It would be better just to have three lights, cold, normal and hot.

all GT cars show the actual coolant temperature.

There's a thread somewhere here on this.
find that annoying. Thanks for the tip.

H-m-m-m-m-m, OK I'm curious . . . . and you know this, how? Please reply quickly before your statement motivates me to go out and put a thermocouple on/in the system. If you're correct, that's not good at all. To be perfectly honest I've never really paid much attention to the digital coolant temperature gauge reading, I don't even have it selected as one of the four in the pod to the right of the tachometer. I ignored it there because the guess-o-meter analog gauge on the far right side of the instrument cluster (hidden by the steering wheel) seemed like it'd be sufficient.
