Don't understand why cylinder deactivation would annoy anyone. The engine still has a nice but understated richness to it. In fact, from time to time l switch off my music to enjoy that mildly sonorous tone during deactivation. Maybe it's just me..
Is your car stock or modified?
As stated, certain quirks/annoyances with the 4-cylinder mode are accentuated with things like exhaust system modifications. My non-resonated Milltek exhaust system sounds glorious, but when the car on occasion drops to stupidly low revs in a high gear and uses 4-cylinder mode for good measure, it both sounds and feels a bit off.
Woman and I are driving the car the same way we drive beast and we drove the Cayenne and even with the 4-cylinder guff in there, we are getting 14.2 mpg average it seems, so it serves no purpose for us at all.
