I'm seriously considering a GTS level Cayenne.
Are there significant/ any differences between the 08 and 09 versions?
Any disadvantage to owning an 08 (first model year of new version)?

 

I believe (would need to confirm), but the '09 has the Turbo's bigger brakes and the Bluetooth option.

 

Doesn't the '08 have the big brakes too?

 

From what I've been told. Eighteen inch wheels will fit on the '08, but not the '09 because the brake size increased (rotor ? caliper? both?). As I stated, we would need to confirm, as my dealer and wheel enhancements communicated this; but PCNA is out to lunch.

 

MY08 only has the red painted calipers, but same brakes as the S, and I believe that the '09 is the same.

Biggest difference is the PCM in the '09 is worlds better than in '08.

 

2009 has touch screen PCM - and related electronic upgades - ipod - blue.

the 19" issue relates to the fact that in 2009 PCCB's could be fitted and they require a minimum 19" wheel.

 

The only differences between the '08 and '09 GTS is the PCM (touchscreen) and the addition of Bluetooth & Universal Audio Adapter.

I just picked up an '09 GTS in Black, and I love it!
