Ordered in October from Fresno Porsche CJ and Sean did an awesome job through the process which culminated with this delivery in the snow on Friday. Luckily I already had CJ put 19’s with snow tires on for delivery. The summer wheels and tires that came with the car will go on each spring. Seattle has been hit with low temps and lots of snow. This car has had no issue getting around.

Initial thoughts

love the car and know my wife will like it. She has had three MB GLs over last 13 years but with kids starting off to college she wanted a smaller vehicle

surprised to see a clock wart. Did not order Chrono so expected nothing there

fit and finish is great. Love the interior much better than old Cayenne and glad I picked sport design to get rid of all the cladding

14 ways very comfortable

voice commands work better than any other car....might be helped by the insulated glass

porsche connect plus and embedded cellular SIM were easy to setup and have worked without issue

wish the heated front windshield had a separate button rather than using front defrost

steering wheel heater button also hidden but easy to use once you know where it is

so far no gremlins or issues but can’t really drive it normally til snow departs....but that could be awhile

Congrats! Very nice, even with the winter set. Which other set did you get? I remember one winter about 18 or so winters ago getting 6” of snow and people snowboarding down our street. I lived on Phinney ridge in Seattle back in the day. Some of the best summers I had were there. Enjoy the snow, not the drivers. Lol

Congrats, my wife likes her Cayenne S too. So do i . The 2.9L engine is amazingly smooth and powerful!

According to the Porsche “Good to Know” app, to activate the heated windshield, either the rear defrost button or the front defrost button will work. It’s your choice. Allegedly the heated windshield also turns on automatically if the car senses it’s sufficiently cold outside. Hope this helps. I’m thinking of adding this option to my Cayenne S build. Potentially very useful!

Looks great in rhodium with the SD package, congrats!. Had to order a $1000 stupid compass to complete the dash look, didn’t know there’s a free clock there 😠

you don’t want the clock. It’s the cheapest clock in a car I’ve ever seen in a 50k+car. Both my AMG has IWC clocks. It looks elegant and watch hobbits who get in the car always comment on it. The standard clock reminds me of a compass I had when my Dad sent me off to camp 30yrs ago. Does the Porsche dash close glow in the dark like my cheapo compass did? Seriously, the clock is a huge pet peeve of mine. Who at Porsche thought this clock was a great pick? A total embarrassment

thanks. I missed that. I like that option better but still wish it were separate button

weather has been brutal here so no good picture yet. If we get some sun I will put one up here. I have not noticed any lines from my casual inspections

Porsche includes the dash clock on the Macan and Cayenne as standard equipment, It has no timing function, you need sport chrono for that. Don’t know if you can delete it as a CXX option or just buy the blank panel afterwards to swap the clock out.
