Took my Cayenne into the dealer today to get something looked at. Got a RWD Taycan as a loaner for the day(they knew I have a CT on order) first colour, it’s ice grey, which was the colour I specced originally, it’s a lovely colour, just not for me! It looks way too white in my opinion, so glad I went with Dolomite in the end.
Interior, well coming from the Cayenne, what a difference! The interior is SMALL, and the driving position feels very sporty! I loved it! The way the front hood looks from inside is damn cool.
This car pretty Heavily specced, passenger screen seems useless, had a work colleague with me in the car and he lost interest with it in about 5 seconds. What surprised me the most was The sport sound, I’ve heard a lot of great feedback about it; but honestly, it was fun for about 10 seconds and then I didn’t really care for it, especially when listening to music, it actually bothered me with the music playing.
Bose sound system. I currently have the Burmeister in my Cayenne and absolutely love it! I use Tidal HiFi streaming and it’s pretty darn nice. I wouldn’t say I’m a audiophile by any means, but I do love a good system and listen to a lot of different music, mostly LOUD! Haha well I’m happy to report, the Bose did NOT disappoint( I had to make a lot of sacrifices with my specdue to insurance, as stated in one of my posts and was worried about the Bose) if you are unsure about the Bose,
Don’t be! It’s capable and I imagine will be amazing for %99.9 of people.
I think the PCM felt more complicated then in the Cayenne(MY 19) seemed like some things weren’t as straightforward, but I’m sure you just get used to things, as this is how I felt coming into the Cayenne from my M5, the newer iDrive system is absolutely amazing and I missed it dearly when moving to the Cayenne, but like I said, you get used to things...
A lot of people complain about the rear view camera, and although it might not be as good as in the cayenne(and def not as good as in the M5) it wasn’t bad and didn’t bother me.
I was absolutely amazed in how well the suspension handled London roads,
I would say in par with the Cayenne.
I’m assuming it has the upgraded air suspension as it’s so smooth. Was very happily surprised, same goes for speed, even though it is the slowest model, it still felt very nimble, and was
Faster then I expected, again for most people and for real world driving this is more then enough, buuuuttt we all know faster is always better hahahaha I did order the 4S,
But it did get me thinking..... haha
All in all I would say I was pleasantly surprised by the car in general, and even more excited now for my Taycan CT 4S
