Options Live with & Live without
Now that you have had your Cayenne for a month or year+ now what options do you:

Wish your Cayenne had?

Could live without?

Thank the Porsche god your car came with?

If you have the time elaborate Why?

I think this will be a fun exercise for both sides of the fence those who own and those who are seeking to purchase.

Thanks for the input....

Check this out. This was my response to a similar question months ago.

I ordered mine, so it has exactly what I want. Air suspension..very glad I have it, love that the car rides well on the 20" wheels. I really like the look of the 20's as well, the 18's look lost in the wells to me. The techart 20's appeal to me even more but were just too much extra$$.

I purposely avoided most of the extra electronics. I have just had too many new cars lately, loaded up with features, and then had them fail. For that reason, I passed on the nav system. I also went for the drivers memory package instead of the comfort package that many buy. I don't need power sliding seatbelt anchor points, I can push the button and move them myself. My new motto is that if it isn't there, it can't break. So far so good! I would have gone for a turbo if I could have ordered a stripper version but alas, they only come loaded.

Mine was ordered like this;

Titanium / Black, car is the color of the road, good stealth factor.
Dark wood trim, looks richer to me than metal trim especially on the center console
Air Suspension, already commented
Trailer hitch, pulls my 21" boat very nicely
20" wheels with painted crest caps, purely for style but, not something prone to failure either
Roof carrying system, not only functional but I like the look
Four heated seats and steering wheels, must have for winter climes
Driver memory, adjusts seats and mirrors, handy for 2-3 drivers. Keeps me out of trouble when I drive "her" Cayenne, her settings come back at a press of the key fob.

I think that is about all I ordered. Love it so far, and no problems.

"her settings come back at a press of the key fob."

You can set the memory seats to the Key Fob???

You betcha! It is in the owners manual, pretty simple really.

I like:
1. The air suspension - especially the ride heighth adjustment. However I don't feel a significant difference in the setting for the firmness of the suspension.

Sorry, I hit the return button too soon.

2. I like the moon roof, but it should be larger for this sized car. Is the moon roof spare parts from the 911?

I had to pay for the entire Electronic Comfort package, just to get the garage door opener. This should be standard. It is BS to pay $890 for the garage door opener. The rest of the E.C. package is unnecessary.

I upgraded to the 20" techart wheels, which I think improve the look of the car. In conjuction with the wheel well molding - I think it gives a more aggressive wide-body look.

Out of the things I don't have, I think I should've gotten 4 zone A/C.

The air suspension and the smooth leather are my faves.

ah man, now I have to read the manual...I'm on a biz trip does anyone know if there is an online version of the manual?
