Porsche Cayenne PDCC

[TEKNOPUG]

Looking for a Cayenne for the wife as a family car. 2007+ V8 Air £15k.

Struggling to find anything with PDCC. Is it as essential as I've read? Would I notice it's absence if I haven't driven one with it?

I’d say essential for taking corners at anything beyond walking pace.

I couldn’t live without suspension that levels the car in corners as a) my better half gets car sick and this sort of suspension helps (even at low speed) and b) whenever I hire a car (including better Exec cars) I’m amazed at how much ‘roll’ there is.

Maybe it is just me; however for the Cayenne I would try hard to find PDCC.

I can only find higher mileage turbos and I'm not sure it's worth paying a few thousand premium so the wife can have 520bhp for taking the kids to nursery.

Seems like it was an expensive option as only found 1 non-turbo with it and that sold an hour after I'd reserved a viewing

Personally, i don't see it as essential.

My old 3.2 had standard steel springs and it was still really good fun in the corners, sure there was a little roll but no where near what you would 'expect'.

I would have liked the air suspension (with PASM), if it also had PDCC then bonus but not a deal breaker for me. The early Turbos didn't get PDCC, that arrived as an option with the facelift in 2007.

I think that I may have found one after probing the owner, as it wasn't advertised as such and photos didn't show gear console.

It's a manual though so maybe able to compare it against an auto without.
