Test drove cayenne S in Sydney

[Wivenhoe]

I wonder if it is the tyre noise - According to the configurator the Michelin are a fair bit ‘noisy’ than say my Hanhook’s. The Hanhook & Pirelli 21” rears are 72db and the Michelin are 75db.

@MikeyS do you have the insulated windows?

No I don’t. I’ll just turn the radio up. some road surfaces are worse than others. And I probably noticed it more because I jumped out of a RRS and went straight into the Cayenne.

Would love to hear your verdict on RRS vs PC on the following… can you pick a winner in each category? We understand you’ve only had the PC for a few days so you may not have all the answers

1)Fun of driving
2)Suspension/ride comfort
3)Emotional appeal to driver
4)Status symbol to rest of the world
5)Which one causes less driver fatigue after a long drive
6)Interior Body roll
7)feeling of interior space
8)overall owners satisfaction

Cheers!

My salesman told me to not bother with noise reducing glass because while it helps with wind noise, it does nothing for tyre noise, and as I'm going with the Sport Techno rims, it would be a waste of money.

It is also heat insulated, which is an USP in of it self. During the summer heat (30-35 degrees at most) it was a blessing in disguise, especially with the direct sunlight on the car. However, I have small kids so maybe that is more important for me than others.
