Default Cayenne S

Hi all

I have recently ordered a Cayenne S. The options I have added are:
21" Turbo II wheels with wheel arch extension
Air suspension with PASM
PTV Plus
Heated/ventilated seats
Multi function steering wheel
Privacy glass
Power tailgate
Keyless entry & start
Bose audio
4 zone climate control
Reverse camera
Telephone module

I've never owned a Porsche before and wanted to know whether:
1. There is anything on the options that you would strongly advise against or whether any of these options have known faults;
2. Is there anything missing from the options that you think would be vital when the time comes to sell the car.

I'd be very grateful for any guidance you could give.

Thanks
Ramsay

Is the steering wheel heated? If you live in a colder climate, it's a great option to have.

Nice build!
From most I have seen, if resale is important, get the trailer hitch. Inexpensive to order, expensive to retro fit.

You didn't mention the colour combinations exterior and interior... this may make a difference on resale.

+1 on the heated steering wheel!

I got meteor grey metallic with black leather interior. I'll probably add the heated steering wheel although I'm not sure that London really gets cold enough to need it. To be honest, I placed the order in the middle of an unusual warm spell in March so I didn't think about heating options that well

I have the park assist and like it. No TV. With the TV you have the rear view but nothing up front.

Heated wheel in London not really worth it, if you travel up north then maybe. Park assist for sure, drop the 4 zone aircon, not needed there, 2 zone will be fine, Universal Audio for sure.

Lane change assist could be handy.

Also add the turbo motor to go with the wheels...

+1 on Park Assist. I have become dependent on it. Also love the heated wheel despite living in a non-arctic climate. Didn't realize it is now a stand alone option. I think mine was part of the seat heat system that I got with the light comfort package.
