Even more helpful feedback, thanks so much everyone. Some points to make:
Interesting idea on the CT - I did like the idea of it but preferred the saloon’s lines, when I go to the dealer I will give it another look though
@whitex the EQS has the same tax benefits as the Taycan, though leases...
Thank you all very much for the feedback, this is really helpful. To respond to some points:
1. The EQS is not an option, I have been to see it and it didn’t do it for me outside or in.
2. E-Tron numbers don’t work, comes out more expensive somehow. Maybe due to lower residual value (lease). I...
I currently have a well optioned S Class (W222). My driving is 90% highway as I commute the 110 miles between my family home and my work flat at the start and end of the week. The S Class makes the trip easy as can be, the time just disappears, and it works great. However the car is getting...
Car looks absolutely incredible, thanks for the tip on rear wheel steering.
Is this metallic jet black or solid black by the way? Looks very black which jet black often doesn’t, so just curious!
I am going for the 20” turbo wheels and thinking of painting them black.
Just wanted to see if anyone had done that. Technically is there any difficulty due to the plastic ‘aero’ covers or do they just pop out? In other words, can my regular wheel refurb place do this, or is there something...
Ambient lighting always works much better on light interiors as they reflect far more light than dark interiors. This is the same on all cars. If you want the best ambient lighting experience then a light interior is the way to go, though to be honest the Taycan ambient lighting is not really...
I added the air suspension as my test drive was with it and the ride was unbelievable. How much difference it makes I have no idea, hence I didn’t want to take the risk, but air suspension is usually a big upgrade so I’d be surprised if it didn’t make much difference.
Interesting! Well I just zoomed in on a photo I had of the loaner car... Pirelli P-Zeros!
So I guess it really is all subjective and based on expectations / other reference points, my S Class on 19" wheels is super quiet in particular giving a tougher reference point.
As said before, it is by...
My car isn't ready yet so I won't know for a bit longer. But in a more sporty car like this it isn't a deal breaker for me (even the 21s, although noisier compared to my other vehicles were not unacceptably noisy for a vehicle in the sports / GT class), in a brand new S Class then I would be...
I found tyre roar is very high with the 21” wheels.
I test drove a RWD with 21” wheels and insulated glass and I was amazed at how loud it was. The rest was absolutely silent, no wind noise, no engine noise, no creaks - it seemed like someone had built the perfect car and then forgot to apply...
Oh so you had a bad experience even with the metallic black? My dealer advised to avoid solid black, and get metallic as he said that would be OK. As mentioned above I am not too precious about cars, at least the exterior, but I enjoy it looking mostly good and fresh.
Resale doesn't matter as...
Congrats on your new car, I will definitely look forward to seeing your pics.
Your Macan looks good, I am pleased to hear it held up well for so long especially with the auto car washes - that sort of thing is what I had heard would ruin the car.
I don't care so much about car condition, my...
Hello,
I have been scouring the web all day and just can’t find photos of the solid black, in most threads it seems everyone has jet black metallic.
There is a base black Macan parked in my road and I think it looks amazing, but my dealer advised black is not a good idea as it shows up every...
I want a black car, it's my favourite colour for vehicles so I was very pleased to see a 'complimentary' black included in the options, but my dealer says upgrading to metallic black is a must since the solid black doesn't hold up well and will look very scratched. Any thoughts on this? I'm not...
