Yes, the air suspension is what I am after. I'm not sure of the costs as I am new to Porsche but I had a feeling it wouldn't be cheap. I guess my next question would be is it worth it?
There's a podcast I listen to occasionally where 1 of the guys is actually a porsche salesman and has a base RWD taycan as his personal car. He was talking about how he can't tell a difference in ride quality between air and non-air. The main advantage is added clearance when you need it, and frankly, being able to lower it so that it looks cool when parked.
What is the name of the podcast?
Hi, for what it's worth I did a test drive with the PASM/air suspension but ended up not adding it as an option so I could use the money elsewhere. Honestly I can not tell the difference between my car with the springs vs. that test drive.

The air suspension can not be added/changed after purchase
Good day, with the recent increase in prices, I am trying to take off some options off my RWD order ( in the U.K.) in order to stay within budget. The salesman handling my order has said to remove PASM with Air Suspension. Are you actually driving your car and happy with the choice you made. What does the car come with as standard ?Hi, for what it's worth I did a test drive with the PASM/air suspension but ended up not adding it as an option so I could use the money elsewhere.

If you didn't get it in the first place, I doubt you'll ever realise it's missing. I imagine it will be very costly for little discernible benefit. As some suggest, you could sell the car you have ordered and get another one and perhaps be better off... but to me that sounds like a lot of hassle for again very little discernible benefit.
Of course others will have a different opinion which is cool. For me, the car looks and drives amazingly with the steel springs. I don't worry about scraping the floor, speed bumps or kerbs. But mostly, I never think that others will look at my car and say "oh he didn't get the PASM with air suspension"
Hi, after ~7 months of ownership I have zero regrets. Drives like a beauty on the springs in my opinion. I think the standard for the base model Taycan is the springs, at least it is for the Hong Kong market - so best check on your configurator.
Many thanks for your reply.
Yeah, that’s 100 percent not true. I’ve driven both cars and, while the base suspension is fine, PASM air handles bumps and imperfections better. Porsche does great fixed suspensions across all of their model range, but PASM offers a better ride. You do know that the difference is more than just raising and lowering the car, right?
