Hi all,
Have been stalking these forums for a while now with the intention of joining as I got closer to my 4s being delivered...but I could now do with the thoughts of the good people of this forum please.
As my company’s car scheme changed I was able to move to a salary sacrifice scheme, and after setting a semi flexible budget (my wife and I have just moved house and looking to start a family) I came up with the following 4S spec Www.Porsche-code.com/PM1LNYR6 which I’m delighted with - expected into the dealer on 26th April so not long to go!
On Friday one of the Salary Sacrifice consultants emailed me asking if I wanted to get a quote on the RWD due to the price difference....any excuse to mess about on the configurator. After I worked out the Like for Like spec difference was £10k and ignoring the sensible finance person part of my brain, I thought “well what if I added some of the nice to have options - I’ve worked out my Budget already” which lead me to this www.porsche-code.com/PMP1ME56
My thoughts (bit scattered as they are) are: I’ve never owned a Porsche or EV so even the RWD will seem very quick to me, but I’d rather the “stability” of AWD in the 4S even though it’s more powerful - is this nonsense? I’ve specced PTV+ in the RWD, does this make a massive difference (my other experience of RWD is my current Mercedes C220d Coupe, so a little less powerful ?).
Anyone that has their 4S and maybe compromised on options - if the RWD had been available what would you have done?
I’m very conscious this is a real first world problem....any thoughts would be appreciated. Apologies for the lengthy post.
