Watch your wheels, going thru those car wash things will damage the tires or your rims because most can't handle the width.

You should be able to go thru a car wash. I for one am not brave enough.

Guys,

No real issues on my side just few things after 10 days. Yes the door need a good slam but I don't mind. I do mind the beeping noise if I keep the door open as I am setting up my daughter in her seat at the back.
Also, I think there is a bit of a turbo lag but again thre is plenty of juice so not really a big deal. I migth get these BMC air filters to improve this.
Otherwise only real pain is I got a puncture after 200 miles and that's a real pain! Should be fixed by tomorrow hopefully.

Re: the lurching issue, I though it was just me but it was annoying. But, I just got mine back from the dealer (Carlsen in Nor Cal) with two software updates. They replaced the PCM (common radio drifting complaint) and updated the PCM software to v.3. They also said they had just received new software for the drive-by-wire lurching issue. Service explained why it was happening, and I must say the fix is a huge difference...it drives like any other vehicle now....no lurching, real smooth.

My 02c:

- Too pricey or many options should be in price
- a bit too heavy
- Park Distance Control should be integrated with NAV screen as in new BMWs
- no solar moonroof...

anyway it is a great machine

I will have more basis for comment on my likes/dislikes/hates once I take delivery in a few weeks and have a chance to actually own for a while, but as a buyer I think the biggest optional equipment omissions were:

1. Solar sunroof (or other system) to exhaust hot air when parked
2. Laser or microwave-based cruise control

I would have added these for any semi-reasonable price.

Well, I'll admit to being a bit ashamed to take a Porsche thru an automatic car wash!!! BUT ..... this is my daily driver and I simply don't have time to hand wash this thing, particularly as the winter weather approaches. No damage to wheels or tires yet (18" turbo wheels with M&S tires), but it is a tight fit between those guiderails. -- Curt

dont be ashamed. I even do coupes and cabs at an automatic car wash. Ours around here are touchless, its quick, and during the cold season, its the only way any of my cars are gonna get a wash.

Thats very cheap of P.

The topic of the thread includes the words, "your Cayenne" as in the owners of Cayennes experiencing annoying quirks.

If you don't own a Cayenne perhaps your comments would be better suited to a different thread.

We have taken the plunge for an expensive car, we apparently really don't care about a color display.

I don't mean to diminish your enthusiasm or your welcome to this forum.

The focus of this thread was towards owners. I hope you understand.

Torags,
Does that mean that I, a possible potential buyer, cannot come here and read this thread and make comments? At this point, I'm trying to figure out the difference between a "Loaded" Touareg and a "Base" Cayenne. Does anyone have the Infiniti FX45? Also looking at this one too.

I believe Torags comments were directed more toward the Cayenne bashers. Those whose only purpose in coming to this forum is to trash talk the Cayenne and/or it's owners. I believe potential buyers and those who are just curious and want to learn are always welcome. His target may not have been a true Cayenne basher but many of us are a little sensitive of all the negative comments from non-owners. And, he does have a point about the topic for the thread.

A fully loaded Touareg V8 will still be about $10k less then a similarly equipped Cayenne S. It will not have as good on road handling as the S and will have less power. The Porsche will typically have better dealer service. Good service could be worth a lot.

If you have no interest in going off-road and like the styling of the FX, I think it has great value. I have not driven one but I have heard it has a very firm ride. That is very subjective so judge for yourself.

GM Austin

Has anyone else had this update? This is the first I have heard of it. I spoke to a Porsche service tech about a month ago who said they were aware of the problem but had not received a fix yet. I have thought of it as a transmission mapping problem where it is too slow to downshift on part throttle acceleration. I was beginning to think the situation improved when I switched off PSM. It seemed to tap into different shift point mapping. This lurching is the complaint that P-Seller started this thread with and I agree with him. This has been a significant problem. If there is a fix let's get more information about it. Can you give us more details npplaw?

Torags

I encourage you to ask questions and learn as much as you can on this and other threads (positive & negative). This is what I did when I was comparing the Treg to the Pepper.

I appreciated all the responses I received from many questions perhaps considered dumb by many, but after all I was ignorant.

I would cruise the owners threads without comment & learn, but I wouldn't post a subective comment comment about the color of the display or the S is ugly. I just think that's f**king rude.

Others have done it, but I wouldn't.
