Difference between Cayenne S and GTS

[Smirnoffmark]

Afternoon all,

Thinking about getting a Cayenne S or GTS, not the newest shape but the facelifted one. Probably around a 2008/9 model.

Is there much difference between the models in the real world?

Thanks,

Mark.

About £10k! GTS has a bit more power and sounds better with the sports exhaust but when buying mine I couldn't justify the extra. A well specced S (if a 2008 model make sure you get a PCM 3 one) is all you need.

+ alcantara trim which I'm not sure is better in every application! kids for example.
An S on air is a very good car, be aware that 16.7 mpg average over several 1000 miles is the price you pay for great go and noise.

Thanks everyone for feedback. Anyone compared them with a Range Rover or RRS?

Thanks,

GTS is one of the best handling 4x4's and came with around 400hp, sits much lower than regular Cayenne, had body kit and sport exhaust which sounded very good, the interior had sport seats and were Alcantara. They also hold their values quite well(for a 4x4). Alledgedly a must have is PDCC but haven't driven one on normal springs to compare.

RRS poorer drive but prehaps more luxurious and smoother, depends what ticks your boxes.
