Thanks, yes it does sound great actually without PSE
Open question to everyone:
Would you go for upgraded 21 spyder vs Cayenne design and invest on either:
- 14 way seats + rear camera
- rear camera + bose + rear air bags
- 14 ways + rear air bags
I love the look of the 21"s especially with painted arches, but wanted your views....A good looking car makes a difference (a huge one imho), but what is your view on this one?
I thought of going without rear camera as I don't have in my current 2016 Q7 and it is fine as I don't park it in busy car parks - but have on my daily (i3) and it is a must, so welcome thoughts
Thanks

We'll all have different views. Personally I've gone with 21" spiders which look good, hide the brake dust.. and are not as difficult to clean as they look. (had them on a previous Macan) and gets rid of the unpainted arches. If you went with a black, dark blue or purple exterior colour, the unpainted arches would blend in better and wouldn't make the 19' or 20" wheels look quite so small in the arches. However if you're not speccing the Air suspension it may well be a consideration to go with 20" instead of 21", but in saying that if you're used to the ride comfort of a Q7 on air suspension for example, then all Cayenne suspension set ups will feel a good deal firmer.
Regarding seats.. If you don't use lumbar support then 8 way seats will be fine.
My 2ps worth.

Choices like these are all very personal.
Myself, I think a car the size of a Cayenne really needs the 21" wheels (with painted wheel arches) to look its best.
I drove my 2017 Panamera 4 for a year without having specced a rear camera and it was fine. And the Panamera is actually longer than a Cayenne.

20" wheels just look too small to me on such a big car. The 21"s are wider than 20"s so need the extended trims which are painted as standard. 20"s being narrower so don't need extended trims and are black.

The rear camera on my Cayenne has a much better resolution and is far more useful than that of my previous Macan. It also keeps clean! 21" wheels and painted wheel arches are definitely the go-to options since they completely transform the look of the car.

Thanks all, seems consensus is on 21, so that is it
initially wanted quartzine grey with grey interior but ended up settling with midnight blue with black mojave - hopefully a good choice
