Definitely a personal thing.

I felt it was daft and pointless to buy a quiet car then en-noisyfy (™) it, I switched it off almost immediately on demo, didn't spec it and haven't missed it I would definitely never use it.
To add another anecdotal experience, I have it, never use it. SportPlus mode enables it, so I ended up defining Individual mode the same as SportPlus but without sport noise on for quicker mode switching.

Your first sentence was "Why not CT over ST?"
It shows up as the first sentence on my browser (see highlighted below). ?‍♂

Was just a bit of dry humour. Those two sentences are not the same.

I'm going to stop engaging with you now as it's wasting my time an I need to get on with my morning. Have a good day!

Oh very interesting point @Crazymind about the wheels. I initially was thinking 20" for the same reason; SA told me they looked awful in person and that the ride quality made little difference. What do others think about this? I care a lot about ride quality, and don't want to be all precious about the car when potholes etc show up
Keep 21”, they are awesome.
I have 20” winter, and 21 summer….the car looks much, much better on 21” wheels, cross-turismo design.
Also, i recommend RAS (parking) and PDCC as well (since you mentioned cornering), even if most of the forum members says, that’s PDCC doesn’t bring anything if you are not racing.
I believe it turns Taycan into a train..

I’m also interested that no one has mentioned electric sport sound—I doubt I would use it so elected to leave it off. My current car has “enhanced sounds” in race mode and I think it’s pretty silly.
Depends on your driving environment.
I’m using it almost every day, at night, to warn (wild and domestic) animals… also, night vision works great and might help you a lot.

ESS is the same as choosing mamba green. Some love it, others hate it.

I like ESS, my wife hates it. She actually offered to do the sound herself for 500 bucks. I declined as it would mean I would have to drag her along all the time and I suspect her version wouldn't be as refined.

So you paid for ESS instead of paying your wife?

Correct. I was afraid her sound would be very similar to the BMW i3 sound I saw on youtube:

Maybe you should record your wife's car sounds, post a poll thread to see what people would prefer :CWL:

All down to personal taste. The interior can look cheap, dark and plasticky, so do anything to improve those negatives. Full glass roof for starters ; light seat-belts : neo-chrome trim ; crayon seats.

Not sure why people opt for tinted rear windows in a sports cars, but as I say, each to his own.
