It's a good thing more buttons to try out in traffic. Sure yours will have a fair few buttons too.

I don't buy in to it because it is a Porsche I buy in to it because it is far superior to an E70 now

PVR - you wanted a porsche, I would get this in place of an E70!

I know but two birds and one stone etc

Did you see the autocar article where they got a cayenne around the track almost as quick as the 911!

At my age I could not cope with all those switches and dials.
My X5 is enough for me and even now I have to get the wife to press some of the CAR switches!!!!!
