How satisfied are you with your Cayenne

I noticed the stumble or judder when I drove a GTS auto before I bought my manual GTS. I assumed it was just the nature of the tuning/converter lockup. If you use manual mode, do you notice the problem?
When my GTS was in for service to correct my PDCC error, I had a new V6, too. The V6 was really underwhelming in the Cayenne. A heavy vehicle like this needs a lot more power.

What wheels tires on the V6 and your Cayenne? That could be a big part of the ride quality. The 21s + summer tires on my GTS are stiff, but it's a trade off I can live with for the handling.
I have almost 9k miles on my GTS already and no issues with the wear on the seats. They are tight, but I have done a nearly 600 mile day in them without major pain.
Did you test drive a Cayenne TransSyberia before you purchased?

I'd like to say 'I love my 06 Cayenne S,' but I'm not sure I'd enjoy the tongue lashing that would follow. 
IMO, pairing a Cayenne of some sort with the 911 model of your choice gives you the best of both worlds.

Put another way, the Touareg and Cayenne are about as similar as humans and apes (IIRC, only 2% difference in DNA)...although in double blind testing, 98% of the apes chose the Touareg over the Cayenne.
Besides, it's all irrelevant now that VAG owns PAG ... thanks Dr W, enjoy your well funded retirement.

Rosie O'Donnell,
and Jessica Alba,
share all the same parts biologically, but how those parts work together makes a big difference.
I know which one I'd rather drive.

Very satisfy so far, but not satisfied with Porsche's moral business mind.
I'm pissed about the cheapo plastic coolant pipes were used on post June 2006 built Cayenne, even though Porsche knew about the issue with the coolant pipes they kept using the cheapo plastic coolant pipes on my Oct 2006 built Cayenne.
(Kindda different from what I've experienced from other car manufacturers, for example, BMW had a problem with ABS module in E39 MY between 96-00, but they quickly realized and updated the ABS module in MY 01-03. It took a while the problem started to surface, some range of 75k - 90k miles before ABS module started to flake out.)
I hate to see this high end car company like Porsche cheaped out on parts they used to manufacture their vehicles.
Kindda embarrassing to be stuck on the road due to the coolant pipe burst on the road.
