My intention was to always have the car and enjoy it. It’s just a question of whether to sell sooner while resales are still good or keep it until the next thing comes along. I don’t tend to own cars for more than a couple of years. My heart says keep the car my head says cash out and put it...

Hi everyone, Haven't posted for a while. After a year of waiting, my Taycan 4S CT is finally available for me to take delivery next week. I am obviously excited about finally getting my hands on the car but the pragmatist in me is looking at resale values and wondering whether I should move...

I think the GTS ST is worth the extra over a 4S. By the time you’ve added the Performance Plus battery and a few extras that are standard or not nearly as expensive on the GTS, you’re not far off the cost. The GTS also has the same motors and wiring as the Turbo and Turbo S. Just my opinion but...

I’m pretty sure it’s the pre-set optimal tuning of active aero when in Sport+ rather than losing the active aero altogether. However, you’ve raised another question for me and that is do you lose “Individual”? It seems that you do. I could live without Sport+ and perhaps even the convenience of...

I’m having the debate about Sport Chrono with myself at the moment. As far as I can tell, I don’t believe you lose anything without Sport Chrono apart the Sport+ setting. Launch control works in Sport on non-SC. I’m sure someone will correct me if I’m wrong but you can probably set the car for...

When I was in an employed role our car scheme used to give us a discount for choosing metallic paint - halcyon days! The Taycan is a marvellous car and the monthly payments, particularly on a salary sacrifice, make it relatively attainable. The options list is dangerous though and I would...

Just wondering what options have any significant retained value over the lease term? Can see the benefit on a contract purchase but not really seeing it on a lease unless, as you say, you buy out at the end but then I’d ask who is really going to do that on an EV given the rapid developments...

If I were choosing white I would probably spec the gloss black window trims as the 4S has chrome as standard. There are so many options many which should be standard on a car like this (folding and auto dimming mirrors!). It’s particularly frustrating on finance agreements as you end paying for...

Do you use two sets of wheels or just switch tyres over? My spec is currently the 20” Turbo S wheels but was considering adding the 19” Aero wheels with winter tyres or going for a set of aftermarket wheels but was a little concerned about the aero impact of using after market wheels. I’m...

When would you typically switch over to the winter tyres? I’ve read good things about the Pirelli PZero Winter’s.

I’m planning on driving my 4S CT (after it’s delivered next year) down to the French Alpes during the winter. I’ve little experience of driving in heavy snow and never changed tyres or wheels for the occasional dump of snow we get in the UK. What are other people using as their set-ups for...

Having driven an electric car for a couple of years now, I find it’s only when I’m driving really slow (under 15mph) and the car is actually making that acoustic sound that people don’t notice you. The road roar is quite load above that speed especially on wide tyres. To be honest though, I’m...

I did think about the PTV+ For the 4S CT as it adds the diff but how many real world uses does it have? I thought RAS seemed like something that would make a genuine daily difference and what’s been said in the thread has confirmed that. I was kind of hoping people would say “Nah, don’t bother...

I think it’s 9 degrees to the Taycan’s maximum of 7. My goodness the EQS is an ugly car though. It reminded me of a Citroen C5 and now I can’t un-see it.

I just think that car is amazing. It’s more than I want to spend but I’ve convinced myself it’s worth it. I think it will be a better investment than the 4S too.

i was watching a Matt Watson review of the EQS AMG and you could really see the rear wheels turn on that so it’s strange that it would be visually imperceptible on the Taycan. Appreciate different systems but still…

Sorry, I originally misread. I thought you meant RAS was standard on GTS.

Rear axle steering is a £1650 option in the UK but comes with Power Steering Plus - a must have option in my opinion at £203. Is the rear axle steering worth the extra £1447 for a car that will be primarily be used as a family car around town and venturing out to the countryside or would that...

That all makes perfect sense. If you’re buying second-hand you decide on the car and then see what’s out there at the price point you can afford. Some people might want specific options but supply determines whether they can be ultra fussy. I think this is particularly true when it comes to...

I’d be surprised if they do a GTS Cross Turismo as the GTS Sport Turismo has (reportedly) different driving dynamics e.g. more emphasis on on rear wheel power, different suspension set-up etc. etc. It doesn’t really fit, within the Taycan model range, to dilute the GTS variant by giving it more...
