I've never had an SUV before. I have a minivan. What I can say after a few hours of driving is that 65mph feels like you're going 40. It's very stable. It has 20" wheels and Toyo tires (don't know the exact model) and there is some tire drone noise around 75mph, depending on the road.

Also, so many buttons. Buttons on the center console, buttons on the ceiling, buttons on the touch screen, but no volume controls on the steering wheel. Have to figure all of them out. Why is the door lock button in the center console? And surprisingly, the cup holders are very shallow.

I don't care much for the perforated leather. Dirt seems to collect in the holes.

I like that you can control ride height.

I'm sure the kids will like the panoramic sunroof.

That's it for now. Will post some more pics tomorrow.

Yep, lots of buttons, probably more because you have an S. I think what they called the "multifunction steering wheel" was an option. In a commuter, I would think that would be a nice one to have.

I can only assume the door lock button being in the center is some sort of through-back or branding that goes back to the "Central locking" that my old '88 targa had which was a button on the console. I have no idea if I have a door lock button on console of the boxster, but I think I might.

Ride height control is nice. I think at highway speeds it drops down if it's not already for better mpg.

I haven't noticed any issues with the perforated leather in the boxster, but I think I put around 5k miles a year on it as a daily driver so it may take a while.

More pics would be great. The missus would like a Cayenne, and I'd like to get her one.
