FWIW, I have a 2008 CS, and this model does it automatically. I don't have to push the pedal in further after I come to a complete stop to activate the hill hold feature. I don't have the manual...

I live in Bend, OR, and have been driving on snow/ice the last several weeks in my cayenne. It's been super cold lately also. I have all season tires on (continental dws06), and it's been amazing...

Yeah it's been a great car all this time. Criss crossed the country many times.

Driving down the highway, suddenly I lost power. Luckily I coasted off an exit into a gas station.

It was sort of running, then it just died as I coasted to a stop. Tried to restart, and it was...

No, it won't reset. It will come right back on. You can clear it with durametric, though.

Also, you'll need to enter the radio code.

I'd get the 40th for sure.

I wouldn't worry about the drive back either - however far the drive back was. These cars are great on road trips, and it's a good way to get to know your car - and...

I drop it DOWN to 5th gear when rpm is LESS than 3000, to keep it above 3000. If I slow down a little bit, and rpms go below 3000, I'll drop it down to 4th to keep it above 3000. I only use the...

I rarely purr along at only 2800rpms. I consider less than 3000 to be almost lugging the engine. When my rpms are less than 3000, I put it into 5th gear. I've conditioned myself to avoid any low...

99 996 is the best bang-for-the-buck performance car out there. They are a steal. Find one that has maintenance records, was well maintained, and just feels "tight".
