My new Porsche Cayenne S

Hey everyone,
I recently bought a Porsche Cayenne S and and I have a few impressions. The overall package is really solid, I like the new S from the standpoint of driving dynamics with PDCC and RWS, the V8 with sports exhaust sounds great, is powerful enough and refined, though honestly the engine is a little lacking of low-end torque in ordinary driving. I think I'm spoiled by my Taycan when it comes to low-end torque.

Likes:

The air ride suspension is comfortable and smooth especially on highways
Excellent visibility all around
The Burmester sound system is good but not amazing
The boot space is more than enough for a coupe SUV

Dislikes:

The interior shows some visible cost-cutting compared to the previous model
Too much piano black plastic, it scratches easily and is a fingerprint magnet
A bit too much road noise at highway speeds
Ambient lighting feels pretty average for this segment
Nexen summer tires on a Porsche

Other impressions:

Aesthetically, the new front end and headlights are easily the highlight of the refresh, they give the car a sharper, more modern look.
That said, it’s clear that all German brands are under cost pressure these days.
Compared to the Panamera and previous Cayenne, the interior trims, door handles and shifter feel more plasticky, which is a step back in terms of perceived quality.

Overall I’m happy with the car as it fits my needs. Looking forward to some mountain passes and winter trips.
