Whilst I love the idea of a GTS, I only get 22-24 MPG around London in my SD. Who knows what it would be in the GTS!? It does sound good though ........

25 mpg avg from my former Macan S petrol.. 32 mpg avg from my new Cayenne SD after just 800 miles.. not brilliant (live in a rural area), but I'm impressed so far, and it should get better. thank god for a 100L fuel tank.. MPG not the most important thing to me, I'm just impressed you can get that from a 4.2 V8 TDI... and it sounds fantastic!

How are you enjoying the switch after 800 miles?

I absolutely loved the V8 diesel Cayenne when I test drove it. That thing is a beast - in a good way Smile

It's a more, believe it or not, "raw" experience from an engine pov. Sounds incredible when you think it's a diesel. You can really feel that engine through the accelerator pedal. Thought to myself, is it right to feel this much feedback from the engine? However, it must be and it's epic.. I'm being sensible with it at the moment, but with so much torque it's hilarious.. So far I absolutely love it, and it feels like a step up, albeit not as pretty. The handling is awesome and more than enough to enjoy on twisty roads of which the are many on my doorstep..
The new Panamera SD must be incredible.. with 435hp.

Just filled up my Turbo

In the one tankfull it has achieved the grand total of 19mog with that being mainly short distance town/local driving.

If it ever gets above 25mpg I will be happy.

Is it the same V8 TDI that is in the new Panamera??

It is a beast - lovely engine.

How do you get the speed limit indicator to appear in the multi function display?
