It took me ages to settle on my spec - I'm worried I'll go mad with all the tweaks over the next 18 months! Knowing my luck, I'll get the model year before a facelift, range doubling etc

Well, my GTS order is in and I've just been told the lead time is 18 months..... ?

It's so close to MY24 I think it's worth waiting e.g. there might be a few useful upgrades. Saying that some year's upgrades are pathetic e.g. I waited until sept for a Cayman once and i think the only upgrade was to the ventilation slats!

When I asked the dealer about this, he just said it needed a wipe down once a week to avoid build up, when made sense. I quite liked the feel of it and I hate how leather is very cold in the winter and too hot in the summer, so I fancy a change.

Hopefully you'll find the better residuals on the GTS actually make the car cheaper £ for £ as well. I got quoted a 64 WEEK leadtime, so I didn't rush to put my order in last week/got distracted with work as I'm going to order for a Sept 23/ 73 Plate.

The residuals are better with the GTS - probably because it's scarcer. £80/mth more for 10k of options sounds about right - if your 4S was a few £k higher e.g. £103K+ it would cost more than £110K GTS.

Are you comparing like with like? With Octopus GTS's are slightly cheaper than 4S's - even when the GTS has a slightly higher OTR e.g. £116K GTS Vs £114K 4S gave me a lower monthly cost for the GTS

I tried that tactic last night.... he said that if I don't get the screen he will not get in the car and will make my life hell!

I'm starting to come around to this - simarlarly to the surround camera, this might be an option to stop any potential embarrassment from ppl thinking I can't drive! Seriously though, the turn into my drive at home can be hard at times as my neighbour doesn't always park in a considerate...

It is a brilliant scheme. For PNAW57W5 over 3 years/10k pa they quoted me £945 net salary deduction - that's with no deposit, fully maintained, free home charger installation, insured, taxed and to top it off, 5K miles free public charging! All in that's less than my vastly inferior X5, so I...

Thanks - that's useful to know that they might be telling the truth about build slots and that I might be similarly lucky. Fingers crossed.

I'm not sure. The dealer checked the Porsche system yesterday and said that the current wait time is 12-14 months....this will be my 3rd Porsche and they are always late - 4 months for my first. I'll be starting my order with Octupus tomorrow - they claim to have build slots already secured...

Thanks for the tips. I'm going to check if the the test car had rear steering - if not I'm not going to add. I found it much easier to drive and manoeuvre than my X5. ACC is an interesting one. Does it do full emergency stopping, or is this standard or available elsewhere? I have this on...

Thanks for the tip. Mine will be a company car so I don't think I will be "allowed" to make dealer changes though. Unfortunately, my kids only live with me for part of the week so I'm finding more and more I'm carting their friends around as well - one of the advantages of ditching the X5...

Thanks. My typical use case in my X5 is to use if for navigation while the main screen is playing media, but I think having the passenger display will mean I can keep the nav on the main screen. Plus, I think you get some nav info on the dashboard behind the wheel?

I'm going to place my GTS order this week after doing an amazing test drive yesterday - https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/ice-grey-taycan-club.2823/page-21#post-155841 Can I get some comments on my current build please: http://www.porsche-code.com/PP52ZW18 (edit: added B-pillars and...

Ahh, Nottingham - sorry!

I've just finished my first test drive in a Taycan GTS today. I won't bore everyone with the details as everyone here is sold on the car, but it was simply amazing! My daily is an X5 and I was shocked driving home after approx. 3 hours in the Taycan that the Porsche was even better at...

Stunning car! Can you confirm what interior that is please?
