    What loaners does Porsche give you?

    Got a brand new Cayenne 3.0 today. Very pleased I've had the chance to try one as I was keen to and feel it's a good replacement. Not a big fan of it, as with most ICE cars the accelerator now feels squidgy and with it being the first time I've ever driven an SUV I don't like the way it drives...

    Locked Keys in Car.. help?

    Today I am so glad this post is here! Just got to work and thought I'd locked myself out, was about to make a very apologetic call to my Wife to bring the spare key 40 miles to me!!

    Gentian blue vs. Volcano Grey Metallic

    I was torn between the two. Looked at loads of photos, really like the volcano grey and not had a grey car before. But decided I prefer the blue. In good light and clean, I think it’s hard to beat. In our dreary Winters and dirty, it’s average. I find myself wanting to clean it every weekend at...

    Taycan Cross Turismo spotted with new wheel design

    Yuk! Not a fan of those wheels. Original style are much nicer I think. Don’t particularly like the shape of the car either. This is bound to divide opinion, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that

    Vibration and rattle sounds from the interior . . .

    Just been out in mine, and I can make the noise happen by just pushing myself back in the seat. I think I’ve found where it comes from, if you feel down the door side of the seat, right down to the carpet and you feel where the plastic seat cover almost meets the carpet. Just underneath that...

    Driving dynamics - are my first impressions off?

    Agree with this. It does a different job, and very well too. If you’re able to then keep another car that does the other things for you too.

    I had my 4S for 3 weeks, and now I am replacing it!

    Wanting to go quicker at these kind of levels, for me, is nothing to do with practicality, it’s a case of how much money are you willing or able to spend on having fun. If I’d have had the extra budget at the time I most probably would’ve ordered a Turbo S. This would’ve been purely a want to...

    Vibration and rattle sounds from the interior . . .

    Yes I found adjusting the seat stops it for a while. Mine is going in soon for the spoiler issue, I’ll add this to their list then!

    Vibration and rattle sounds from the interior . . .

    Anyone else got a creaky drivers seat? Definitely comes from the base/lower back rest area. I don’t consider myself a heavy person, but this creaking sound is making me think twice about that!! Very annoying.

    I took my Huracan out after 2 months....I missed the Taycan

    I mostly agree, and if I had something such as a Huracan as a backup car I might feel more strongly about the difference between the two! I think because my other cars are so different I still love bombing around in them, especially the mk3, but I don't do that very often. Hmm I'm not sure...

    Andersen A2 Charger 5.5 meter or 8.5 meter

    I went for 8.5m too for the flexibility, however I must be more clumsy than others or less patient because I find winding the cable back into the unit a complete PITA! Most of the time I just re-seat the plug in the top and leave the rest of the cable out. I very rarely get the cable all back...

    What else do you drive?

    I’ve not been so fortunate to have some of those cars so mine don’t sound very exotic, but I still love driving them Taycan replaced my Golf R as daily driver. Wife now has the Golf. I still think that’s a fantastic car for the money. There’s not much I don’t like about it. I also drive my...

    Performance drop with low SOC?

    I’m not qualified to comment on any of the recent posts but it all sounds logical to me! Mine is a 4S with performance battery. Today I only noticed Power loss once my range notification popped up, just over 20% charge. Battery temp around 25C. I was driving so had to wait to get home to take...

    Consumption

    That’s not great efficiency but by my experience in the UK cold (so far the coldest around 0 to -1C) I was showing around 1.9 miles/KwH. If I’ve got my calculations right that’s around 33KwH/100Km. And in your much colder temperature I would expect worse efficiency. compared to temperatures of...

    Performance drop with low SOC?

    So to summarise even when the battery has been as low as 8C (the lowest I’ve seen this week) and the charge was below 50% I didn’t get a loss of power. If I can get the car below 30% and get in when the battery is nearer 0C that will be the real test now. I’ll have to be at home for that though...

    Performance drop with low SOC?

    So I’ve struggled to recreate some of the things discussed. Taken several photos during the week, only to sit and look at them now and realise a lot of them are blurry ?. I’ll share some of them. The most interesting one is first, although it has just occurred to me I was in sport plus and...

    Seems like we’re getting away with something doesn’t it!! I hope the benefits extend beyond 2023

    Business Lease Vs Outright purchase in the UK

    No you're right I wasn't totally clear there. The £73k is after CT deduction at 19%, which happens to be only 1% less than the VAT hence why there was confusion. My bad!

    Business Lease Vs Outright purchase in the UK

    By my calculations, and I'm surprised by these by the way, so I'd urge you or your accountant to check these, with your lease deal the net cost over the term will be £43,927 (taking into account VAT & CT relief). If you purchase the car at £90k, net cost is £73k. After 3 years the car would...

    Business Lease Vs Outright purchase in the UK

    It's a good point Peterw raised. It is classed as a purchase as the car would be on the balance sheet, along with the finance. So yes 100% FYA. I believe the VAT position is the same as a normal purchase though, it's still going to be a purchase of a car with private use.
