I am peeved a Porche pricing thou, I was going to get the Premium Package that include 14 way seats and park assit front and rear, BUT it doesn't include the camera so if I add the camera separately they still charge full price $1,750 for the option even thou it is only $655 for the difference.
This may be the first and last Porche I order new, just because 2013 is the first year for Diesel and there are absolutely no used ones available.
As far as the wheels and suspension, my wife didn't like the standard suspension, this is her selection. The wheels are my selection
, they are absolutely beautiful and there is no way I would get cheap Chinese knok-offs for a Porche like I did for my Mini.

It'd sure be crying shame to have to surrender the 14 ways....eeks. I could put up with the stock seats in a service loaner cayenne but that's where I personally draw the line. 14 ways or it can stay on the lot. The seats after-all are what you sit in to drive the car so for me are one of the key options if not the KEY option.
I have them on my Mercedes and had an Audi avant in the past with roof rails, on a span of more than 10 years I never used it. I plan to keep this for at least 7 years so not concerned about resale.
I was under the impression that the dash clock is standard in US, I did not see it included in any of the options. My wife ruled out the pano roof, she didn't like the idea of a glass roof on a car
... The towing package I may use, at least for a bike rack.

Clock or compass always been an option so far as I'm aware of....excepting the CTT and GTS. But a nice visual cabin feature for sure. It's all about setting the mood inside the car. Again sit in one with it and then one without and you'll be ticking that box pretty smartly. It's a small price to pay I say.
Thank you again, I may still change my mind until Saturday

Smaller wheels do make for a plusher ride because there is more tire there.. I think the major downside of running 18's is looks. With air suspension on low/sport my 18's still give me a lot of control and grip.. AND i can go on curbs or on a trail and you really benefit there with more rubber.. I like the versatility of smaller wheels just not the looks.

Not too many of these flashy Porsche Cayenne cars get off the bitumen though....hence the lovely 21's.

Right so go all the way to 21's and get super crisp handling and looks.. or get 18's and put slightly oversized tires and be able to go anywhere. I would still worry about curbing my 19 or 20's. I think this is why I bought a used cayenne though. So i can be spontaneous and not be biting my nails every time i did anything useful with it. Not saying im a thrasher.. its a really nice car. But if I owned one from new I think it would make me a prude and worry wart and take some of the fun out of it.

We don't have the snow here in Sydney so no need for anything other than concrete cowboy makeover kit. The most this car will see is a few trips down some gravel/dirt roads if we take it up the north coast so those city slicker 21's will do the job 99% of the time. Vanity seems such an issue these days....lol....plus it's a ladies car. Has to meet a certain criteria....lol
