After purchasing my 996 AE in November, I've decided to embrace this whole German Engineering philosophy. Picked up a VW Atlas this weekend and I'm loving it. Perfect size and interior space. The technology is pretty amazing and it's actually kind of fun to drive. The Atlas truly is a great bang for your buck in the Mid-Size 3 row category. Not sure how much these two companies are still entwined with one another, but sure does look good in the garage.
Yes 3 useable rows. A grown adult is comfortable in the 3rd row and the 2nd row is down right spacious. It's def one of the larger SUV's out there in the mid-size category. Most reviews put it just shy of the Tahoe in terms of size. But the steering feels more like a car than an SUV. I've got that new car glow, so can't objectively say it now but hoping it's a great car for many years to come.

That's one thing we thought we wanted but went ahead with the Cayenne purchase anyway. Since it's not often we haul more than four of us we figured we'd just rent a minivan if we needed the extra space. Only have had to do it twice in the last two years so I guess it was a good call.

I'm sure the Turbo Cayenne is a BLAST to drive how does the driving experience compare to the 996? Assuming it's faster off the line, but how about the corners? We needed the extra space for car seats etc so we went with the bigger of the SUV options.

I'll admit I was not a fan when Porsche announced the Cayenne. But then we needed an SUV and I read good things about it so I drove one. WOW!
The 996 feels very light and the steering really communicates with you but for 90% of daily driving the CTT is the better tool. It feels really solid and like you said is quicker off the line. Plus we have a Fabspeed exhaust on the CTT so the engine howls when pushed. With the air suspension it actually stays just as flat around corners as the 996 but feels more planted. I would argue it is easier to drive more quickly on curvy roads the the 911 is.
Not that I'm bashing my 996 as it is almost a decade older and has a very different intended purpose but I really am that impressed by the Cayenne is what I'm getting at. Love them both and happy I get to experience them!
