Hi Daz,
Sorry for delay in reply but have been away in Spain.
Delivery is supposed to be Nov 03 so not to long I hope.I have speced it as follows:-
Basalt Black,grey full leather.
Air suspension.
20"Cayenne Sport Design Alloys
PCM Sat Nav+phone kit.
Bi-Xenon lights.
Comfort pack
heated front/rear seats+wheel
Multi function S/Wheel
Sport Aluminium pack





For those of you that think this is like a Range Rover...NO WAY!!This thing drives almost like a 996!Any disbelievers are welcome to a ride to see for themselves!!

I read on Rennlist,how a guy was getting between 10-13mpg depending on how easy he drove it.

I hope you have Sat Nav on the car Steve,you can program any trips around refueling stops .

Look forward to seeing you & the K-N at VW later in the year.

Paul,I think you will find that was a TT.The S is a lot more fuel friendly!

Hi Don,
Certainly blew my socks off!We will have to get together after I take delivery to give a demonstration.
Have you sorted out the problem with your Boxster?
Steve



Can I be a disbeliever, Steve? Perhaps we could do a repeat of when you were considering the Boxster S? (Still have mine...)

Steve I hope you are right for the sake of your plastic!

The source of my quotes came from 996 forum of rennlist
under the heading of

"Cayenne S as a loaner....." posted by speedyyellow996.


Paul,
Most of the guys on Rennlist seem to say between 14-18MPG for the S,so not to different from your figures....but then I'm not that worried about fuel consumption,the Jeep only does about 15MPG! Will just have to wait and see.
