Have an 08 CTT with PDCC with 105K miles. No issues with suspension yet. Awesome handling for a car of this weight. No desire to replace it after 6 plus years. Very good all around vehicle. Nicest car/truck I have ever owned. Very good tow vehicle even when towing 6000# boats over Cascades.

Thanks for the comments. PDCC is really hard to find, but I have found an '08 that is looking really good from an option, maintenance and color standpoint. I am trying to work a deal now and get a PPI done.

We'll see how it goes. The '06 TTS is a fantastic car, but $1400 for set of front discs is off-putting. I also really like the facelift on the '08. The TTS has that additional "exclusivity" factor and I have always tried to buy the highest in the model line that I can, but nearly all of the TTS's options are on the refreshed '08. My 996 C4 cab was built on the Exclusive line...the engine is still a POS though!

With PDCC in the mix on the '08, and a ton of other options, that's direction I am going.

I would like to hear from any others that have had issues with the PDCC... just for the education.

Thanks all.

Best,
TomF

Default PDCC demonstration


This video is what sold me on it… very much a high priority in my 957 search.

Maybe I get confused easily, but do they both have the PDCC?

Only the black one… the silver is a 955 which didn’t ever have it.

Whew, holy thread resurrection Batman! One of my first Cayenne posts... thanks for the trip down amnesia lane. Anyway, that was the very video convinced me that PDCC is absolutely worth it. Two Cayennes Turbos (2008 CTT and 2009 CTTS) later, I still am a huge fan of the technology. I won't own a Cayenne or Panamera without it.

Cheers,
TomF

Yes, it’s worth it.

Definitely a must if you like going fast around corners. I don’t yet trust the capability of my relatively new to me TT with PDCC but on some back road runs it is evident that the brakes are the weakest link of this car!

I passed on a TTS with PCCB because it was 22,000 more than what I paid for my loaded TT. I couldn’t justify the extra $. In love with the spec of my TT, though I do kind of regret it!

I guess it’s all relative. Now you can get a CTTS with PCCB for just a little more than $22,000.

This was only a couple of months ago in Aus. The TTS was $65K…too much money for a 12 year old Cayenne

Yeah definitely. Maybe someday I’ll come across a perfect one. I’ve discovered one with failing cats and a slight crack in the panorama roof with 180k miles. It’s a Marina Blue on black and brown two tone. Turbo S with PCCB and sport design package.

Just picked up my TT after a full fluids service, followed by a drive home through twisty roads. It really is unbelievable how well this corners for a 2+ ton vehicle! For anyone out there looking, if you even remotely enjoy going around corners, do not consider a car without PDCC. It’s that good!
