    Would you say not having panorama rooftop and ambient light in your base Porsche Taycan is a dealbreaker?

    Just sold my Taycan with glass roof. After DerekS and others experience and more recently the glass roof being shattered by its own boot/trunk I will never buy another Taycan with glass roof. I will accept my kids will be in a darker environment and I can’t carry anything on the roof. Ambient...

    Bye Bye Taycan

    I have heard that analogy! Keeping a Porsche in the garage and driving a banger every day. That is foolish I Didn’t save it for the weekend! It was my only car. Daily driving you can’t go around smashing it. it was driven gently just because there was no option. Still loved being in and...

    Bye Bye Taycan

    The EQC is nice. Just a slightly electrified tarted up GLC. Outside it is an electric SUV boring jelly mould like the Macan but you can’t see it from the inside. The inside is every bit as nice as a Porsche (or Audi) Just different. I generally like Mercedes. This will be my 4th, matching 4...

    Bye Bye Taycan

    My GTS has done 14,000 miles in 2 years and even though they are near the end I still have the original Pirelli chocolate tyres. THAT is proof of some sort!

    Bye Bye Taycan

    Just arranged pick up. Handing back to Porsche GB finance company. I am not trying to depress anyone (particularly in UK). Just the facts. We are all aware. It’s been fun. Especially the 1st Taycan which I sold for a profit. Forum has been fun too. Thanks everybody. The second Taycan has been...

    Car Secutiry Package - worth £269?

    Admiral Multi car Not paying for the Tracker would stop Vodafone pestering you which is good. They are difficult to nick even without a tracker unless you are a dick with keys etc. I would definitely not want Comfort Access with no tracker. A moments lack of concentration and someone could jump...

    Rear tyre wear

    I cannot imagine how they could be as bad, let alone worse. They must last longer. The Pirelli’s are wearing out at the front in 12,000 miles in gentle driving. Perhaps the Good Years are less good on dry track handling but that is irrelevant to most. I can’t imagine the Good Years...

    Rear tyre wear

    This is my report at 13,600 miles. The front passenger tyre was replaced due to side wall damage so has only done about 5000 miles. Fronts have worn worse like most people report here. Also outside corners worse than the inside. Fairly even though? You can see how gently it has been driven...

    Rear tyre wear

    The Pirellis are crap This is an excellent video by the excellent Tyre Reviews - Google it. TYRE REVIEWS - Is Bespoke Always Best? OE vs. Aftermarket Tyres I was a big supporter of OE Tyres Not any more This video explains that OE tyres are always optimised for dry grip because the reviewers...

    Power Steering Plus

    Yes, spot on, I knew this but my post was misleading PSP will NOT stop the lovely Ackermans I was just saying after 20' wheels being lovely without PSP the rude awakening of 21' wheels having to tug on the steering wheel at low speed COMBINED with the Ackermans was horrible. Addition of PSP...

    Power Steering Plus

    Depends on wheel size Graeme. You cannot try PSP for 3 months unlike the other more expensive options such as Comfort Access, Innodrive or ALK. It is available as an outright purchase only. I paid £300. Annoying as it was £200 factory option. It is quite subtle, I didnt have it on a 4S with 20s...

    40K Service Brake Pads

    If the car has been stationary for about 12 hours the first 2 or 3 braking actions are 100% mechanical to skim the discs to remove stuff for safety should emergency braking be needed. You can accelerate up to as fast as you like and stamp on the pedal. That will heat them up and bed them in.

    Do NOT crack your panoramic glass!

    To prove this I have just checked the Macan EV forum and no one is having faults with their car yet. This is proof it is a much better car than the Taycan

    Anyone seen any Porsche Finance PCP final value/payment figures for the refresh Taycan yet?

    Porsche are shifting production to the Macan. The price difference is ludicrous when considering it is the same amount of ‘car’ Weight, battery, mechanicals, wheels etc. Just a different shape. Dealers are taking 10-20 deposits for the new Macan for every new Taycan deposit. The Taycan will...

    Anyone seen any Porsche Finance PCP final value/payment figures for the refresh Taycan yet?

    Here are Uk finance examples. It certainly is not 66% retained value any more!! Porsche know Taycan 2 will depreciate worse than EV Macan. MUCH worse than Taycan 1 Here I am cross shopping between Mac 4 and Taycan CT4 10,000 miles 3 years finance deal Taycan 47% retained value Macan 52%...
