'05 Porsche Cayene S Black/gold

1) I think if you dont care much about the gas price then why not get the 530i
2)I feel theres not much difference between the two
3)From what i heard,active steering is a good buy
4)Good combination
6)Auto transmission saves gas
7)Good choice
8)Definitely worth it
12)good choice
If i have cash to spend,then i'll get the extended lighting package and m sport package.But how's streets in india?Is it good condition?I think E60 is a good buy!Great choice!These are only my opinions and could differ from others
Good luck

Don't know.
2) XENONS - WITHOUT ADAPTIVE HEADLIGHTS
Get with.
3) ACTIVE STEERING - IS IT WORTH IT ?
I like it. Worth it is in the eyes of the beholder. It would be worth it to me. It came in my sport package.
4) BLACK EXCLUSIVE LEATHER AND MAPLE WOOD - IS THIS COMBINATION
? ? GOOD.AND WILL IT SUIT A WHITE EXTERIOR.
I would prefer anthracite maple with black. Black should be good.
5) COMFORT SEATS - HOW ARE THEY ? BETTER THAN SPORTS ?
I got them. I would get them unless you are so performance oriented that you want to shave weight every way possible.
6) AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - IS SMG BETTER ? WILL THE AUTOMATIC
? ? AFFECT THE PERFORMANCE ?
The auto will be just a tad slower than the others in theory, but, in fact, it will depend on the drivers, road conditions, etc. I would get the auto because I am interested in comfort/ease/straight-line performance/excellent handling, but will not be on any road courses or treating streets/roads/highways like road courses. I will treat roads like drag strips ocassionally.
7) PARK DISTANCE CONTROL
It's useful. So, yes.
8) LOGIC 7 - IS IT WORTH THE PRICE ?
If you want a good sound system, then definitely--unless you want to do an after-market system.
9) ACTIVE SEAT - HOW IS THE MASSAGER ?
10) AC WITH EXTA FEATURES
Whatever comes in the premium package is way adequate.
11) SUNBLIND
It's useful. So, yes.
12) 18 INCH STYLE 124 RUNFLAT
Get the sport package. Then, take your wheels tires off and get 19" wheels with PS2 tires. Save the originals for trips, trade-in value, construction zones, etc.
THATS IT.......
DO YOU THINK I MISSED ANY OTHER GOOD OPTIONS ?
How about a CD changer and Bluetooth?
I LIVE IN INDIA SO I DONT NEED SAT NAV,RADIO ETC
WHICH OF THESE OPTIONS ARE GOOD ?
All of them are good.
1) DYNAMIC DRIVE
2) ADAPTIVE HEADLIGHTS
3) SMG
4) HEADS UP DISPLAY
5) TV FUNCTION
6) ACTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
7) BLUETOOTH INTERFACE
8) SEAT VENTILATION
9) SUNROOF
10) EXTENDED LIGHTS PACKAGE
11) M SPORTS PACKAGE
AND ALSO IS THERE ANYBODY WHOS GOT AN A6 OR E CLASS ?
ARE THEY AS GOOD OR BETTER THAN THE E60 ?
They all are good. Find your major criteria, go with them, and accept the rest. My major criteria were looks, performance (acceleration and handling), and pricing that is reasonably competitive with other same-class cars.
AND WHY IS THE E60 BETTER THAN ALL THE OTHER CARS IN ITS LEAGUE ?
Looks and performance.
ANY INFORMATION WILL DO GUYS.THANX SO MUCH
