I have finally decided that whilst I like the Taycan a lot, it just doesn’t work for me. Two principle reasons. It’s too wide for uk country roads and you can’t get a conventional tow bar for bikes and small trailer. I think I just have to accept that Porsche primarily design for US market. May be when Porsche are spun out of VW they will return to their roots and make. A mid sized 2 door electric coupe would be massively in demand.
That was my concern too but I liked it enough to go ahead anyway since the roads around here are infested by vast SUVs, which seem to manage.
I have driven an X5 for the past two years and it has the same size as the Taycan (but higher off course). Before that I had a 6 GT that is even 10 cm longer. It was oké to drive and park in Belgian cities. I must admit that the Mazda 3 I am driving now as a replacement does make life easier driving in town.That was my concern too but I liked it enough to go ahead anyway since the roads around here are infested by vast SUVs, which seem to manage.
I did reflect on it for a few days though - it is almost as wide and long as a Range Rover
Haha yes, I’m sure when mine arrives and drive it on familiar roads I’ll still struggle to compute that it is both longer and wider than my iPace was! Single lane country roads, I’ll be the epitome of gentility to oncoming traffic I can assure you…..That was my concern too but I liked it enough to go ahead anyway since the roads around here are infested by vast SUVs, which seem to manage.

Yeah, I RIDE THE ROAD. Not the other way around, well, maybe in Italy, they do hahahaThat was my concern too but I liked it enough to go ahead anyway since the roads around here are infested by vast SUVs, which seem to manage.

Yeah, i wonder if the sport plus lowest setting will be an issue around town. I was worrying about my new CT will bottom out or scratch if i sport plus + low around town. But after looking at the car, i think that it should be fine. In that sense, even though it looks not as low/lowered than sedan, you get the advantage to drive around in Sport Plus more often without worrying about damaging the bottom. And I can't wait for snow this year. I can't wait to try all the AWD and Vectoring Plus goodies in snow.
I was really worried about bottoming out on driveway entrances, sleeping policemen (and policewomen), pot holes at ski areas etc. - so much so that I programmed auto-lift at various regular points. Turns out the normal height is comfortably sufficient for any situation i've encountered so far. I only raise it if I'm on a proper forest road.
Cool. I just experienced first time bow my bum feels in sport plus mode. I am aiming to go to the twisties this weekend. Hope to get some sport plus fun there. Yeah, probably will normal on till snow days for gravel
Just curious, which twisties? I made the trek to Whistler a couple of times and Hwy 99 is awesome fun in any mode. (Ok, haven't tried 'gravel'.)
