Funny you should mention oil usage. I just returned from doing Tourist Delivery in Europe in the wife's new GTS, and on the last day (driving back to drop the car back at the factory), the check oil light came on. It was at the low mark on the dip stick. A quick visit to the nearest Porsche dealer and a quart of oil added, it seemed fine. I did leave notes with the car when I dropped it off at the factory, but have not heard any news since. It will still be some weeks before it shows up here, but I was a little spooked about the oil consumption. Is this normal for GTS's?
3,400 miles, added 3/4 qt.

We picked it up Thursday night, what an awesome truck! Haven't got to spend much time with it yet but the little bit I did get to drive it, I have to say it is quite impressive. What an exhaust note!!!
Here's the options list:
Cayenne GTS Tiptronic 9PA AL1
BASE Base Model Description
A1 Black
A1 Black
TR Standard Black Interior w/Alc
G0R Tiptronic S
PC3 Bi-Xenon Headlights with Washe
PF1 Porsche Communication Manageme
PK2 Frnt/Rear Seat Htr inc Str Whl
PO4 Light Comfort Package in combi
QR1 Compass Display
0AW Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control
0TD Floor Mats
1D6 Trailer Hitch without Hitch Ba
1N3 Variable Assist Power Steering
2D1 Enlarged Rear Spoiler
3FU Panoramic Roof System
3J7 Porsche Crest in Headrests
3X1 Ski Bag
3Y4 Roll-up Sunscreens on rear sid
7X2 Front and Rear Park Assist
9VL Bose Surround Sound System
Next week I'm going to get the windows tinted and have the black Techart Formula GTSs mounted.
Only compliant is the cheesey plasticy dash, pod, center stack and door caps. Hardly fitting for a $90k automobile! Any ideas/opinions about replacing with stock leather (probably pretty pricey) or getting the existing stuff covered?
Let me know your thoughts on the leather thing......

I really like the Cayenne dash/texture and don't find it cheesy at all, but rather unique. feels 90k to me. CONGRATS on the new ride ENJOY!

...yes, by replacing defective component, but if you don't have them, you DONT HAVE THEM. And there is nothing to worry about. Noises on a new car are a manifestation of a defective parts, comming right from Stuttgart factory facility...
...just monitor for any strange abnormal noise, comming from that area for the first 3000mi of your 08 car. Strange noise, you'll DEFINITELY recognize as abnormal...

there's a company. tech, that reprograms if you want to go that route.
They adjust it so it auto lowers to loading everyting you turn the car off... also, you can drive it at a hight setting of lower than the lowest factory driving setting, and for off road, they reprogram it so you can raise it an inch higher.
That will cost you about 3grand though. Ther eis a cheaper version, only about 1k, which is what you might be thinking of.
