2008 Porsche Cayenne First Drive

Most Porsche Cayennes come with a Tiptronic manual-shift automatic, but about five percent arrive in the States with a stick. It's easy enough to use, but throws are a bit long, engagement is a bit rubbery, and the clutch is a bit heavy. The Tiptronic shifts softly under normal driving conditions, but when “Sport” mode is selected it responds sharply to lightning-quick engine response. I didn't like using the Cayenne's shift buttons on the steering wheel, preferring to select my own gears by tapping the console shifter up or down.
