well yes. That was my point. And not very complex 😉

I use the chassis raise all the time for bumpy situations. I don’t use the sports dampers much, but the option is there. It’s pretty uncomplicated imo. Especially compared to the AMG settings/buttons, as someone said above. The chrono is hugely useful and I find the standard Porsche settings to...

No emergency release - it's one you need to get into Porsche. Happened to me on Christmas Day :( First real issue - rear boot lid won’t open | TaycanForum -- Porsche Taycan Owners, News, Discussions, Forums

Random Audi parts bin at that!

Do you plug it in a lot?

Yes but I think it does seem to really strongly depend on the drivetrain design of the car. I know I'm a little unfortunate as IMO the T8 XC90 we have isn't great in terms of both regen etc, so I'm imagining a Prius is a lot more efficient. The ICE drive-train has to be efficient as well and...

The thing I get is that yes the PHEV is great for short trips. But if you do say, 3-4 short trips in a day, you run out of the EV very quickly. Self-charging also uses an absolute shed-load of fuel and negates the point of it being a PHEV. So you are better off with a good efficient ICE or you...

it’s a Porsche technician doing the servicing 💷💷💷

Juist watched this and I still find myself disappointed at the information given by reviewers on electric cars in general. I have no problem quoting WLTP, but put it into some context and also: if you are going to say what efficiency you got, then you should be stating what kind of driving you...

I really was a fan of our hybrid T8, albeit it only does 20-30 miles on a charge. It’s great for short trips still and is a fantastic car However, where PHEV is a compromise for me is longer trips. It feels pointless using the petrol engine and the MPG dives. It just feels like there must be a...

Had a really nice day today and so have had several fun drives before the 997 goes into the managed garage. The driving of it is really nice. Small and light, direct steering which has great feel to it in turns, giving you confidence you know what will happen. Very close to off centre it’s...

I’ve seen estimates of £1,400 online. We shall see.

Awesome. They just seem the perfect fun spare car to me. Usable, small, light and fun. I have enquired on pricing for the replacement PCM as well. It seems like a no-brainer!

I like that I have the option now to be honest. But yeah the Taycan is still a fun, engaging car...not a bad substitute. Took the 911 out for a quick spin now (and get some petrol in it as it was running on fumes!), and I was just enjoying the lovely sound of that N/A flat 6 and being careful...

My Taycan has been pretty good, aside from an issue with the power boot opening, which was very frustrating. The actual car fundamentals are excellent though. But, but...it's a large car and driving the 911 has reminded me how well they fit on the UK roads and how much I missed that manual...

Yep exactly. It’s a little bit of an investment and fun toy for me. My wife is unimpressed but whatever!

I’ve been hankering after a 911 for years and I thought now seemed a decent time to invest A base 911 997 Carrera 2 with PASM. A few nice little bits like Bose but nothing too fancy. Manual of course. Only 47k on the clock and really tidy. It’s gonna go in a managed garage shortly, but I’ve a...

Maybe for very short journeys but my other problem is where do they put their feet? Constantly kicking the a/c controls would do my head in! I guess mine are getting bigger (9 and 11), so I can’t see them fitting at all in that middle seat and not for a few years prior either. Quite a small...

The problem is that that middle seat is so tiny it's totally pointless. The car is a 4 seat car.

The quote looks about right to me. We got our 16 panel setup, with 10 kw (3kw inverter) of batteries and Pidgeon wire for about £11.5k, plus a few hundred more I paid for a Solar iBoost to maintain my tanks hot water when we have spare solar. That was June 2022. We're on Octopus EV and at some...
