Punched my Cayenne card for a second time. 2006 Titanium S in Metallic Blue
I bought in May 2003 a April build that sold as the first month as a 2004. I had lots of gremlins and problems that finally stopped by 35-40K with the exception of a post warranty cardan shaft that my dealer and PAG "ate"... but, I have done all service and tires through the dealer (all at comparable and good prices). So, I traded today for a new 2006 Titanium S in the metallic blue WITH PASM.. wow what a difference on the drive home over my known bounce your butt places. Drove assorted BMW, Land Rover, Infiniti, Lexus, Mercedes in past week. Yuck. Yes, I had a beta model and too many problems but my dealer was the "difference"... simply put I wasn't willing to risk a new dealer with a vehicle that I just didn't like nearly as well as the Cayenne. Didn't move up to Turbo as I really want to add a 997 cab. down the line and couldn't justify the extra $$$. I can honestly say this vehicle feels better to drive.. it also has a slightly different sound with the quad exhaust.
Answer to questions. DVD Nav has all my roads now.. no "in the weeds."
PASM is well worth it.. I didn't know what I was missing in my "steel" springs.
LOVE LOVE LOVE having a spare tire!
Really like the blue color and the two tone interior. Quad exhaust new sound.
Bad pics it got to be dusk before I got home. Better pictures tomorrow.
LTC and Mudman.... I done drunk the entire pitcher of Kool-Aid!! HA!>?
p.s. Got a good trade and.... you guessed it the dealer says the buyer is a guy who ships them to Russia and Eastern Europe (even with 72K miles!).
pictures... self explanatory .. I think.. yes, I have clear side markers on order.

Nice Madfox. I saw a MBM Titanium CS at the dealer last week when I dropped off my DD Audi.
Very purddy it was that CS.
I'm thinking a CPO '06 in a year or two. Please keep the Kool-Aid cold for me.

Duuuuude! Congratulations! Is that the same color as the blue in Turbo S?
We're very conflicted about the car. Love it, but the thought of sh*t going wrong past warranty is really fueling the paranoia.
Anyway, daylight photos would be nice :-).

1. Naked and no ext. warranty available. I have through the dealer 7 year/100K
2. Drove other cars/SUVs still like Cayenne the best as a "daily".
3. Was going to need in next 5K miles or sooner
a. Water pump slight ticking
b. plugs/coils seemed to be starting again
c. 2 new tires to replace 2 that were at 30K miles (Diamaris)
d. Oil Change and Filters
e. A/C solenoid issue appeared to be re-appearing.
I'm going to find someplace pretty to take a photo as it is still very green and supposed to be sunny tomorrow.

Smart man!
I am going to punch my card #2 soon as well...I am #1 on the list for a new S this spring, however, I am strongly considering going for a 05 Turbo instead...whattya think...I absolutely LOVE the Cayenne S, absolutely perfect marriage of a SUV and a Fast, Bad *** handling machine...It really shines on the roadtrips to Vegas or San Diego, 120 + smooth as silk...as long as you have a passport X50!

Beautiful car Mafox
I like to see brand loalty especially buying the same model, awesome!
The color combo is stunning!
Honestly if some of you people who have issues with your car need move on, just trade up. I do have an understanding many dealers are giving good deals all around with trade + discount on new.
As Madfox said, the dealer can make the difference in terms of experience.
All my dealer visits were good experiences with knowledgeable staff that know how to keep the car in check. I can relate to anyone who has had a bad experience as these cars are complex and can make ownership a disaster.
We were thinking of trading our CTT for a CTTS but after a long talk with our mech about the long haul and seeing 2 03 CTT's with over 90k with happy owners, we'll put the money towards a 997 GT3.
Enjoy the new ride Madfox, she's a beauty.

Lastly, I know Turbo guys love their machines.. but I'm just not trying to beat a 911 off the line.. this is my practical Porsche and I'll compromise on some of the power because this thing has more than enough for my uses and tastes.

p.s. YES, FORGOT TO MENTION... 7 YEAR, 100K WARRANTY through the dealer got $200 deductible after the std. 4 year PAG.. but I cannot imagine owning this "COMPLEX" vehicle NAKED (yes, I did for 22K miles, but I was SICK!)
