I’ve had them with Crayon but I’ve also had the sport kit with gloss black and gloss black wheels, gloss black window trims etc. I love it. However, I wouldn’t bother with gloss black with the darker colours. I’ve seen Volcano Grey on a few cars in the real world and it look’s awesome but gloss...

Mine is almost as dirty in just two days. My detailer says that the ceramic coat takes 3 weeks to cure in winter so no washing until the New Year. Goodness only knows how filthy it’ll be by then. My Crayon Porsche will be a muddy black!

I’ve just taken delivery of my ST. My range estimate right now is 210. My iPace used to predict slightly more in winter off a full charge but never delivered what it suggested. I’m expecting that the way I drive it, the Porsche will underperform against its estimate too. I only ever charged my...

I started with nothing, worked hard for 30 years and can now afford to buy the car I want. I have long-standing friends who drive ‘normal’ cars and more recent friends who can also afford to buy the car they want. I also have friends who have every car they want! Their problem is garage space...

I rarely see a justification for finance if you have the cash to buy. However, I secured my (UK) finance rate of 5.9% in October 2021 when I first put down a reservation deposit and with the current rate at 11.9% decided to go ahead with the deal whilst putting down the biggest deposit they...

I was reading in another thread some comments about the number of configurations that there are within the settings and how daunting the menus might be for some, so I thought I’d ask everyone for pointers on the most useful changes that they have made to the way their car arrives from the...

Just got my car. You’re correct, lots of stuff is configurable. However, the menus are straightforward and working through them is a pleasant experience when you first get the car. Once you decide what’s right for you, you can leave it that way. A bit like setting your SLR camera in a default...

Whatever you’re listening to should enhance your driving experience. If you want to enhance your listening experience, get yourself the best hifi equipment you can afford, some great headphones and a comfy chair. Press play and close your eyes. obviously not something you should do in a car!

Here’s another way of thinking about this. Your car is not the ideal place to listen to music but it is the ideal a place to enjoy driving and for me, having the right musical accompaniment is an important part of that experience. I recently watched Casino Royal at The Royal Albert Hall...

I agree with your points on brakes and your suggestion that creating your optimum cabin environment is a priority. But spending a little on the outside can be worth it too. I’ve specified crayon and added as many gloss black accents as I could. So door mirrors bases, door handles and rear...

I was in the same situation. Once my battery was fitted (mid November) the app moved on two phases and shortly afterwards to the final phase. I’ve signed up for all of the connect services but have to pair the app with the car by inputting a code to the car. Obviously not possible. Anyway...

I’m just about to take delivery of a Turbo ST which I’ve stuck £25k of extras on. Some, like RWS will affect the way the car drives but most are cosmetic and I’ll take a bath on them come resale. I did look at the Turbo S which, for a ‘base’ model is less than I’m spending, but I’d have ended up...

I didn’t spec it on my Turbo ST. I talked through the options with the dealer and he said, if I was taking it to track days then sure, I’d appreciate it but as my daily driver, I’m not going to notice it. I’ve just had my Porsche experience day and the instructor said the same thing. At the...

My car was completed on the 23/9 and has since been waiting for its 12v battery. It’s now on its way and due at the dealership on the 25th November. It seems things are slowly moving through the system. My original order was for a CT but I switched to an ST as soon as they released the body...

I’m in the same position. My car was completed (without the battery) on the 19/9 and I’ve just heard that the battery has been fitted and the car is on the way. My dealer is saying that they’re confident I’ll have it this year. Seems that they’re still giving themselves some leeway. So now I’m...

Sounds great. I’m waiting on an ST Turbo. I wanted a saloon but just couldn’t see it working with my golf habit. The saloon is such a great looking car; amazing styling for a 4-door. I’m sure it’ll be worth the wait. I have my driving experience at Silverstone this week and that will be in a...

I spoke with my dealer this morning. They say that according to their system the car’s still in Germany so I doubt it’s aboard, although the dealer did mention that the system might not have been updated. They have had cars turn up unexpectedly so, it can happen, but I think I’m clutching at...

The Thames Highway arrived from Emden today at around 7:00 p.m. I’m guessing it’s carrying some Taycans. I’m hoping mine’s amongst them.

I’ve ordered mine in crayon with gloss black Mission E’s and gloss black callipers. Porsche put white callipers on their cars to show off their brakes and the fact that they don’t produce dust but I don’t think white does anything for the overall look on lighter coloured cars. I was going to...

I I haven’t given that a second thought. I assumed that you drive the car you’ve ordered but I didn’t ask if there was an alternative.
