While I typically leave it in sport, as that is the way I found it when I bought it, I just cannot tell the difference between any of the three settings. I did the bump test and with three other passengers in the car, no one could tell the difference? What's the point? Is there anyway this system isn't working and the CTT?

I have an S with PASM, and can feel the difference. Put it in comfort and drive on a cement road with expansion joints, then drive it in sport over the same road. If you can't feel the diffenence, either PASM is not working or ....

Something must not be working properly as it should be VERY easy to tell the difference, especially between comfort and sport. What are your tire pressures????

When you switch from Comfort or Auto into Sport, the vehicle should lower by 25mm.

Does yours do this? Or does it stay at the same level?

Ahhhh, great! I was just putting my "list" together! The list I give the dealer every time I go in, they say that if they check and find nothing, they will charge me $200 dollars. Then call me that the car will be a couple more days as they need to get this, that and no mention of the $200...

The list this time includes:
1) Rear wiper (on ever list, never fixed, now its just for fun)
2) Rear seatbelt self destructed (tore a whole in the leather)
3) Rear headrest holder also self destructed
4) Four zone air con unit doesn't work, well barely.
5) Nav system periodically shuts down (feels like a thermal shut down)
6) Now I can add this! To think, 10,000 miles and not a clue HA!
7) and an alignment's, on my dime.

My last list got me new coils, plugs, new ecu flash, new trans flash

I am used to this, I am not bitter, yet. Car has been reliable up to now, with a few glitches.

Chris,
What is wrong with the rear wiper?

Mine needed a shot of Viagra as it began to point south on a regular basis. The dealer had to replace the drive gear to fix it.

You are the perfect Cayenne owner.
Thanks for your Porsche/VW/Audi......purchase.

While the wiper moves, it doesn't do much. The spray nozzle just shoots a stream right past the window and the wiper doesn't have enough down force to move what little water there is.

I just don't have it in me to fight. I have been through hell with MB and a biggest piece of $hit ML500, which make the Cayenne look like a Toyota in terms of reliability. Mercedes for me is like Porsche is to you!
At least with Porsche, I have 50k miles of bliss in the 996 to reflect upon.

That's the way mine "works".

My front wiper functionality improved significantly after I replaced the blades. I can't say the same for the rear.

That written, it does clean off the back window well enough after a good run down dusty roads in Moab.

ABSOUTELY NOT.

PLEASE DO NOT USE THE TERMS 'PORSCHE' AND 'CAYENNE' INTERCHANGEABLY.

TO ME, A PORSCHE IS A VERY DIFFERENT THING THAN A CAYENNE.

BTW, I've known for quite some time what is coming and what the company is going to look like. It has slowly driven me nuts, but I continue to find solice in the older Porsche models.

Nice to see they've broken your spirit. Sort of makes me smile.

So, in reality, you are saying that the Cayenne IS a Porsche, but Porsche ain't what it used to be. A new Porsche isn't an old Porsche. It's gotten older, wealthier, and softer. It has lost much of its adventurous edge in an effort to fit in better with a broader society. It partners with rivals of vastly differing philosophical heritage for the sake of convenience. It relies so heavily on technology that it buys that technology from suboptimal outside sources, in order to keep its costs down. And in only a few isolated venues of its overall production does it live up to its former promise. When you look at it that way, it seems ironically fitting that I should be driving a Cayenne now, instead of my Carrera of 30 years ago. Alas, I haven't aged all that well, either.

I have a non-PASM CS that I usually drive with PSM Off. I've driven a few CTTs with sports & comfort on and maybe my derriere has grown a few calluses from that "bumpy" non-PASM ride, but I couldn't feel the difference either and even noted to myself that I don't care for that feature at all.

I hope the above made you feel better :-D

Well thank you, Mr. doom and gloom himself almost spoiled my July 3rd. (Well, not really, I got my oil report back!)

BTW, is your plate really a variation on your screen name? I keep seeing a certain woman rolling in a CS, the same color as yours but no enigma plate. There is that option, then option two, do you work at an asset mgmt firm?
