Porsche Cayenne Forum in UAE

In 1991, with an annual income of around 200k, unmarried, and relatively stable, currently driving an Audi A5. Just bought a house, so now there's 100k in disposable cash. Thinking about going for a Cayenne, but a bit hesitant. 😐

Has anyone experienced with the 2024 Cayenne (brand new, driven 2000 km) suddenly showing a fault message "Engine control unit error, you can continue driving, please proceed to the service center"?

Is it better to buy Cayenne brake pads online or go to the 4S shop?

Are you using 95 or 98 octane fuel?

I've had my new car for a week. It runs fine in 1st and 2nd gear, but there's a strange noise in 3rd, 4th, and 5th gear. The noise disappears in 6th gear and above. Has anyone else experienced this problem? I went to the dealership, and they told me to keep driving it for a while. It's frustrating.

The car has been driven for 5 and a half years, with 94,000 kilometers on it. I've always wanted to switch to 22-inch wheels. Since I haven't really thought about changing cars anytime soon, I want to hear your opinions. Do you think it's still worth spending the money? There shouldn't be any issues driving with 22-inch wheels, right?

Is the only Porsche model without a PDK gearbox fun to drive? [shocked]

Looking to buy a 2024 Cayenne, black exterior, red interior.

Is it normal for a Cayenne's battery to drain to the point where it can't be charged after not being used for a month in the third year? After replacing it with a new battery, it drains after about 20 days of not being used. This has happened several times. Is this normal?

Is there a specific reason why people in China are choosing red interiors for the Cayenne? Is the leather used for red interiors more premium than other colors?

Is there anything bad about buying a parallel-import Porsche Cayenne, considering the Canadian version is cheaper?

When I start my Cayenne, I hear a "thud" sound. How did you guys resolve this issue?

Has anyone experienced a metallic knocking sound when starting the 2024 Cayenne? I've been to the 4S shop several times but they couldn't find the source.

For those who have opted for PDCC and rear-wheel steering, can you share your driving experience with these features? Would you recommend getting them? Thanks!

Has anyone installed electric running boards on the 2024 Cayenne? It's a bit inconvenient for kids to get in.
