How can I forget that one? Hopefully I was less angry and less spinning but yeah. It's JGC for chrissakes...
I tried all levels of traction/DTC as well. Fully on, fully off, half on. I've seen British (biased?) reviews of JGC's that say that it doesn't have the grip/traction of LR/RR. I'm not going to go mudding but it may be a concern. The above scenario hits me a few times a winter and if I can park on piles, it opens up so many more spots that I am mobile as opposed to not. JGC's have levels of center & rear diff as well. Quadra this that, all that stuff that I'll have to figure out. |

IIRC, all the new JGC AWD systems are fully electronic, a la xdrive, with nothing "mechanical".

What about this RR. Note: I know nothing about RR's:

Quadra drive II vs. Quadra trac II. I think QDII is better (and I'm sure most rental/lease spec JGC's don't have the rear diff). |

Edit: looks like there is a way to get a rear ELSD via QDII. |

i just had a brand new 2018 (?) Porsche Cayenne loaner vehicle.
the suspension is really dialed in. and i'd have to guess that the all wheel drive is prety sophisticated, no?

between the start/stop off and the transmission it did not shift as smoothly as I would have thought. and the car only had 200 miles on it.

Did you have the PASM (if height adjustable it must have been)? I don't think the steel coils ride as well.
My 2013 Boxster's start/stop can be turned off and it's sticky (so I never have it turning off on me). |
