Curious to see Everyone's Automotive Journey That Lead You to the Taycan (pic heavy)...

[NoobTaycan]

I like the number of wagons on this list

Me too! I was late to the wagon party, but I've seen the light haha.

Wagons are awesome. I originally had an order in for a CT but I profoundly suck at waiting.

911 + Cayenne = Taycan

Now we have a 993 & Taycan Wagon for the perfect performance family

1979 Datsun Cherry (Not my actual car. Random internet pic of identical car)
Inherited...and was traded in for the Volvo 144 below before i got my licence.

1969 Volvo 144 (Not my actual car. Random internet pic of identical car)
First car after getting my drivers licence. Very sturdy and reliable as nothing else!

1984 Volvo 340 (Not my actual car. Random internet pic of identical car)
First "modern" car Turns out they had shoddy buildquality and many Renault parts!

1988 Ford Escort 1.6L (Not my actual car. Random internet pic of identical car)
Car started out bog standard, and was gradually updated till it looked exactly like the RS Turbo that i could not afford!

1991 Toyota Celica 2.0 GTi
First sporty car! Very impressed by Toyota's sporty offerings...so went on to buy the Supra below.

1994 Toyota Supra TwinTurbo (Targa,
First sportscar. And the build quality, tunability and general quality feel of the car was beyond anything i had driven at that point. It was gradually modified with more power, better suspension etc. and was also used as a demonstration vehicle for Rockford Fosgate at the time.

1999 Lexus GS300
First family-car. Same engine as the Supra, but with MUCH less horsepower, due to lack of turbos and also the lack of the Torsen diff like the Supra had, did not help in the wintertime But never the less a very well built car with tons of luxury feel.

2011 Toyota Avensis
Spurr of the moment thing, when i managed to convinced myself that i needed a new car, only to find out that a new car in this pricerange is MUCH less luxurious than i had imagined! So...i relatively quickly bought the Audi below.

2011 Audi A7 3.0TDi Quattro
Love at first sight! I noticed this car at the dealership the same day they put it on the market, and immediatelly fell in love with Audis estoril blue (Audi exclusive on this model) and was ultimately sold by the classy interior and the INSANE list of equippment that the original buyer had ordered! Best allrounder i've had...so far.

2022 Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo 4 (on order)
Seeing as the incentives for electric cars are very high in our country i had long since started looking for an electric car to be our next daily driver, but hadnt seen anything that ticked all the boxes...until the Taycan Cross Turismo came along

Love it! We're Celica siblings! Loved that little thing, not very fast but fun as heck.

I've noticed a lot more Audis and Volvos than BMWs and Mercs in people's threads. Wonder why that is? I know Audi and Porsche are close cousins and share platforms, I could just never quite warm up to Audis. Always seemed a bit too "clinical" to me.

Answer to common security question.

Answer to common security question.

Maybe we should substitute our first car with the name of our first pet, to keep safe online?
