Things I hate about my Taycan

[Jimmyblanco]

Just think its a great car nothing further to add apart from love it

It certainly is, the best car I have owned and I don't know what I would change to. From the responses it seems some people can acknowledge the flaws in a great car and some are very unhappy in life!

I agree with everything, and the list goes on.
Many people including myself has a list of things that Taycan can improve, but still love the car because of driving experience.

But the funny thing is I've never seen a single Taycan drives fast or make aggressive turn on a road, I'm not referring to reckless driving, just every Taycan I saw drive like a Camry.

Just saying hello as a fellow Camry-style Taycan driver. ?

Life would be pretty boring without a bit of disagreement!

You did ask...

Very funny on the console piece. I keep my ez-pass (toll transponder) in there and everytime I'm approaching a toll I almost miss it because I'm losing my mind trying to get the console to open enough to get my right arm in there.

I compare that to trying to neatly put tupperware back in the cabinet. Impossible.

Only other thing on my list is the rear camera. It's like someone in the product development meeting said, "How about we make the worst camera in the history of audio visual equipment?"

I’ve had mine a few weeks now. J1.2 and I love it. I’m sure there are faults but are there not with lots of cars? I think a lot of the faults you list I had read in advance from reviews etc.
I know people have had problems with them that are genuine issues but for me, it’s a joy to drive and be in.

Armrest at least holds open starting with MY23 I believe as I am using it just fine.

Mine has always worked like that on my 2020 turbo

I only get annoyed by things I can change.
I have a small rattle in my door or dash but can't seem to find it...?

I see that with so many performance cars. Personally, any chance I get I’m taking turns quickly and giving generous throttle.

Quite. Here in the UK almost every one I see is in London where they are probably the worst possible choice for moving about the city.
The majority of supercars are to show off, not to drive.
I like driving my Taycan and the cornering is massively more important than the power.

I followed a Panamera Turbo last night. OMG! Forget Camry style, I'm not sure the owner has located the accelerator in their car yet, it seemed the car just accelerated on idle, eventually hitting the speed limit, then going beyond it too (the car actually reached 50mph in a 35 zone, but it took a good minute to get to that speed, so less than 1mph per second of acceleration). They also didn't use their turn signals even once (probably also doesn't know where that control is), changed lanes and took turns as if he (or she, it was dark, tinted windows) was riding a cow - got on the cow, point it in a general direction, hoping to make it to the destination.

Sorry, had to vent. Such a waste of a performance sedan. The owner could have saved a bunch of money buying the base version and sticking a Turbo decal on the back.

lol. This is why I take pride in driving mine like an absolute dick every time I’m in it.

You guys have to realize 99% of Porsche customers are not buying these cars for performance. They are buying it for the comfort and luxury/quality.

In Switzerland, most people with a 911 buy one for their Instagram account, to gloat to other people, and never go above 120 km/h.

Why buy a Turbo then? Does it offer higher comfort and luxury/quality?

To gloat about it on instagram. Sorry, you answered faster than I edited my post.

Which you can still do buying a base model and putting a Turbo badges on it, no? Most people will never notice (for example, it takes an informed fan with an eye for detail to tell the difference between a debadged base Taycan and Taycan Turbo, even though the price might be more than twice for the Turbo).

Hmm.... Does having two Porsches in one garage on Instagram gives the owner more bragging rights than a single Porsche or higher trim (I wouldn't know, never had an account on Instagram, Facebook, or other picture posting social media)? I wonder if people doing the Instagram ever considered the fact that they could get two base Porsche for the price of one Turbo, still have enough money left over. If it's just for Instagram, that money can be used to rebadge both Porsche sto the highest trim level, and perhaps a road trip with the two Porsches to snag some selfies to score even more vanity points with people they barely know.
