Ha -yeah he's tolerable in small doses (and only if i'm very interested in the car he's reviewing). I think this is the first review I've seen of a Taycan on steel springs...

I used to watch his M4 videos a long time ago when I was shopping for an M3.

They were helpful at the time. I don’t have an issue with the guy.

That’s a proper M3, btw...I don’t know how many times I’ve read “M3” on this forum only find out they meant a Tesla...

2021 Taycan RWD due in June
Country flag
Made me feel better about my lightly optioned RWD purchase. But then again, let’s be honest, I’d be getting a heavily optioned Turbo S if I could afford it.

kind of wished I had researched Torque Vectoring, though.

And I agree on not picking a boring color on a Porsche...but the wife on the other hand felt differently, so black it is haha.

My RWD ended up with a ridiculous 50k of extras because I really didn’t want the extra speed but wanted most of the other stuff that comes with a Turbo, and I ignored the wife and ordered in Mamba Green with aurum mission e wheels.

I have about the same amount in options on my 4S so I understand completely Jonty. ;)

My case is the opposite.

I initially had my eyes on Volcano Grey but my wife insisted on not-so-much-boring color. I took her advise and ordered in Gentian Blue instead.

Happy wife, happy life. lol.

Both interesting videos for someone with a RWD on order and trying to nail down the spec.
Happy that a RWD with battery plus is right car for me (more importantly my budget).

It's certainly got me thinking about the torque vectoring again. Just not sure if you live somewhere without a lot of snow/ice?

Also can't decide about the artificial sound option?

I would only pay with artificial money for it.

I ended up with all of that as I was on the fence for PTV+ also then PDCC and in the USA configuration tool there is the Performance Package that is a pretty good deal. I must say I think it's quite infrequent I get to appreciate PTV+ and PDCC as I think you need lots of twisties at a good clip. But when I do have the opportunity I must say that the car is Flat and has no end of grip and power.
