I am quite satisfied with:
The Burmester: every time I listen to music
(The Tubi exhaust,each time I start my car)
The PDCC and PTV every time I make a turn
The PCCBs ,each and every time I brake
The Pano roof,for making the interior seem bigger than it is
The 18 way seats,for how snug they fit and hold me
And the sports steering wheel,for its "sporty" and streamlined look and how it reminds me of my 997(the last thing I like is a fat steering wheel with a bunch of buttons on it)
Oh,and last but not least
EURO DELIVERY(and the Autobahn)

Yeah, got to agree with Jace and Pepper.

I had a 2011 Turbo without PCCB's and Burmester. Traded to a 2012 Turbo with both, and other options.

The Burmester is worth EVERY penny. It is just an amazing sound system with soooooo much range to it. I love it. When we went to order my California, which was the first time my wife rode in it after the trade, even she commented on how awesome it was. Now, that is something considering that if I hadn't told her I traded she probably wouldn't have even known. So, for her to notice it says a lot!

PCCB's brake SO much better than even the standard Turbo brakes. That and ABSOLUTELY NO DUST make them worth it!

Got to get the panorama roof, makes driving in Spring/Summer/Autumn awesome. Lets so much sun in when nice out.

Voice control is a nice feature. Didn't have it on the first one, got it on the second and couldn't be happier.

Would get the WLAN feature now, especially with kids and their iPads. Would be nice.

I for one like the gloss black trim. Much better than standard silver in my opinion, especially on light colours.

If going for any colour other than black, would recommend the external wing mirrors painted. Here is a pic of my first Turbo vs the second one. Much better altogether for me.

Two Cayenne in the past, one heavily loaded and one not so much. Absolutely need the black exterior trim, camera/park assistance, and sports exhaust if possible. Absolutely never used- pan roof, PDCC.

Could not disagree more about the panorama roof, although this is highly subjective.

The PDCC I use ALL them time. It is highly noticeable with high speed driving and cornering.

To each his own, and that's what makes car buying/speccing so much fun!

I dont have PDCC so this may be a dumb question but 'how do you know you never use it?" Isn't it on all of the time?

High gloss black exterior trim is subjective. Our first Cayenne had it and it was meteor grey, looked good there. But our next Cayenne was dark blue metallic and it looked better without. So the color of the car has something to do with it as well.

This whole thread is highly subjective, but I think that is the point? Love Jason's CTT, esp with the wing mirrors painted.

The ext. black window trim option is a must for me. Unless the Cayenne has the silver roof rails, I really don't like the way the silver trim stands out on the car.

My other must have option is entry/drive. I won't own another daily driver without it.

So many other options that I think are great, like many have already posted... only if there wasn't a "budget."

Yes the dreaded and evil "B" word...

I was very, very pleased with the way the painted wing mirrors turned out. Was somewhat on the fence when I spec'd it, but came out amazing IMHO. I like the black trim, and think it really adds to the sportiness of the vehicle look on any colour (check out pepper's black CTT, he has it as well).

Some of the other things are great, and to me are "must haves". However, as Jace pointed out before, I would take a Cayenne S with full leather, Pano, Burmester and Turbo II's before just about anything on the road. Even without all the other options.

High gloss black trim bits worked out well on mine too - blends with the metallic blue well.

Cheers,

I'm a fan of Lane Change Assist - especially with the light set to bright. Noticeable during day, and makes sure you don't fall asleep at night.
