Quite? TBH approaching 50 I’ve been thinking what I should ‘do’ for my midlife crisis, having not had one yet. I know that’s not how a crisis works. But everyone will be thinking it if I buy a Porsche at 50, so may as well go with it?

Great point you make. My last car was the S4 and it was a hoot on country roads. But I live in a city and literally have about 2 opportunities a year when I have no kids in the back, and an open country road to play with. Mostly I spend my life crawling around town in traffic, or crawling down...

Also, though the 911 has always been the ambition, I drove a friends a few years ago, slightly older on, and thought it was harsh, uncomfortable and noisy and just not as exciting as I expected. middle age must have set in early?

Definitely too small - we only run one car so it needs to do everything and my kids are teens and taller than me now?

Beautiful car and I test drove a cross turismo, but it just doesn’t do it for me I’m afraid

Not had one for many years. But when I had an A3 1.8T a decade ago I got too many points in a year ? Lesson learnt.

I love that, marching orders! And yes, the residuals seem excellent and make it less costly overal. My dealership recons £60k resale after 4 years. I’ll take that with a pinch of salt and assume £50k after faff and trade in. But still, it gives confidence.

Yep, I have a UK business and it does make it very attractive. I’ve even worked out it would cost less to have a new £85k Taycan RWD, than a 1yr-old e-tron 55 launch edition with demo miles and all the toys, basically because of the 100% write-off in yr1!

The cross turismo would make sense, but unfortunately I’m not keen on the looks.

Great tip, thank you!

Nice summary, thanks?

Nicely put, thank you?

A Porsche has been an aspiration since I was a kid. And now there’s an electric, I can run it through my business so it finally makes financial sense. I drove a 4s a couple of weeks ago and though it was insane - serious, licence-losing machine. But super-exciting and I drove like a lunatic. I...
