DFI has been in effect on the Cayenne for the past year. I would say that Porsche does its homework and testing long before technology is introduced on any model. I would NOT worry about it in this instance. Get what you want. If there will be any problem whatsoever, you will be fully covered for 4 years/ 50,000 miles.

 

Thanks Dave. I was thinking the same thing - I know Porsche is "lagging" to market with DFI (compared to Audi, for example) because they want it to be 150% reliable. After all the RMS issues, etc., the last thing I want to be is Porsche's guinea pig on a new C4S.

 

It isn't reliability why they are lagging, it is to squeeze every penny out of the current 997. They have had DFI available for a while, they won't upgrade what is still selling. They need to clear inventory, because no one will want the old cars on lots without substantial discounts once the facelift hits.

 

Let me tell ya - drove my 997 with X-51 today - I don't need any stinking DFI...

 

Woot!
