My wife's '08 "6" has powered heated leather front seats, fancy wood appearing trim, nice sounding stereo, powered sunroof and an air compressor included in the tool kit for inflating the spare tire. TI do not know or care what size the brakes are, but they work awesome. I have no clue on what these Cayennes come with standard, but I and my wife are kind of old school and not too into most "high tech stuff" in modern cars. I typically just drive them and do care about or use parking sensors, bluetooth, dvd players etc. While our Cayenne's main purpose is to get my wife comfortably to work and back in all weather, it is also our vacation car and has done great pulling our boat or motorcycles. I have enjoyed taking it on spirited drives through the twisties in the mountains on our vacations and when I am driving on the highway on long trips, I usually find myself running 80mph + (until my wife notices anyhow). For us, it is not a race car but in sport mode it definitely will accelerate and go as fast as I want to go driving on a public street.

I am sure I would love driving the turbo versions, but I am a cheap DIY type at heart which means I selectively choose higher mileage used cars.... I am positive that my my risk for expensive repairs is much lower with the 6 than any versions of the 8.
