A Porsche has been an aspiration since I was a kid. And now there’s an electric, I can run it through my business so it finally makes financial sense.
I drove a 4s a couple of weeks ago and though it was insane - serious, licence-losing machine. But super-exciting and I drove like a lunatic. I tried the RWD yesterday, to see if could make sense as a day-to-day cruiser. And I think it does. It seemed happy to pootle about in, if the steering is a little heavy around town. But still, beautifully built, relatively quiet, excellent ride, precise steering.
I also drove the e-tron GT which was more laid back and practical, still insanely quick, but the interior isn’t as eventful as the Taycan’s. And given the GT and Taycan at my spec cost roughly the same, well, you’d have the Porsche, wouldn’t you? Then I’ve been driving e-tron 55s, too, which are lovely, quiet, practical and fun in a different way.
Of course only I can answer, but I’d appreciate your experiences - I’ve had a couple of Audi A8s and loved them, I’m now in a 5 Series hybrid and it’s a nice, comfy cruiser that doesn’t encrouage me to speed, all very sensible. I had an S4 Avant, which I drove too fast and the kids found uncomfortable in the back on long journeys.
I’m 50 next month - and the sensible head says be sensible and get something big, quiet and comfy to cart the kids to uni in. And I know I enjoy driving a comfy cruiser.
I’m 50 next month - and the kid wants to buy a Porsche, because, well, Porsche.
So, going Taycan, has it satisfied yiour aspirations?
Do you regret it in any way?
Or once you go Porsche, can you never go back (ie, just do it!)?
