More pics.

I drove it in sport+ at 100mph it stays in 4th gear, and does almost 80mph in 2nd. Car sounds real bad *** with PSE on.

Yes, I am pretty sure sailing is disabled with sport mode and auto start stop definitely is. Sailing is not that bad, just unnecessary in a sports car.

By dual climate control I meant, the passenger side and driver side temp have to be set separately, the driver can't do both with his button, but the passenger button is right there nearby next to driver button. Almost same location but point is you need to use two buttons

 

The Start / Stop button disables both features with the 7 speed also.

congrats on your new rise. Have loads of fun and great memories with her!

 

Congrats! GR is so sexy..........my first real car was a 1990 Nissan 300Z red over black......brings back special memories. That SD steering wheel in black really looks good. Drive the hell out of it.

 

Yeah, I like red, it's a hot one , but you have a great color on order too. Yeah silver is classic on a porsche and red interior wud be cool with it. Next time around I'll go PS, as I rarely repeat colors. You'll have a great looking car in a few days.

 

Look at it the positive way, your car will be more civilized than mine I can't help but feel that without the 50 ponies my ride would not be as much of a rogue bad boy. But perhaps that is just psychological. You will love your cab, but remember to get pse ( I know you probably are but just in case).

 

wd man!

 

You can set the temp to MONO by holding down the AUTO button until the display says MONO. Then you set one temp, they both go up/down together.

 

ahh yes. Totally annoyance - My M3 had a "dual" button which sync'ed them for one button use. My X5 doesn't have unison, hence you must set them individually.

(edit- awesome info ahumphrey - thanks for that - might work in my other car too)

 

Sweet car.. love the colour!

 

Chuck, sorry to be so dense but is there a switch on the console that disables this.

Get the wheels painted matte black and you'll be set

 

It's on the center console on the right side. It's a very complex system that has a lot of conditionals that turn it off automatically which is good, but I'm sure will also provide some confusion.

Looks amazing, congrats man, enjoy in good health.

On the issues mentioned.
I think he means there is no sync button for the dual climate control, so you have to adjust each one individually. Which is very annoying, I use the mono button in the cayenne all the time when I'm driving alone.

The auto start stop feature, disabled when driving in sport. And will only disable the engine when there is enough charge on the batteries, so it will not cut out at every stop; it can tell when coming to a hard full stop vs a yield. Also when driving in sport the sailing feature is not as prevalent, i don't want to say it's off completely because i haven't paid that much attention to it, these are just my experiences in the cayenne.
Parking brake button is more of a preference over an actual issue.
The dummy key for the entry and drive looks and feels cheap...Cheapest feeling part of the car, and I agree the system is strange and quirky.

However issues aside, you have one of the best cars on the road right now. Enjoy it and have fun!

 

As I mentioned previously, the start stop and sailing is a complex function and one which should not occur with aggressive driving. Prerequisites for coasting mode are:
Driving in selector lever position D
Coasting mode is activated (indicator light in the button is off)
Sport or Sport+ is not active
PSM is active
Cruise control is not active
Engine, transmission and battery have reached operating temperature
Relaxed/economic driving style
Only on a slight uphill or downhill gradient
Foot removed slowly from accelerator pedal

When sailing is happening, the engine goes to idle speed (680 +/-50 RPM).
