probably not but definitely yes. Let’s face it. None of these cars are ‘worth’ the asking price. I had as much fun in an Up GTI, I had bought to fill in time until the Taycan turned up, as I’ve had in lots of fast expensive cars. That was worth the asking price. I think you’d get an M5 and it...

I guess this depends on what you want. Powerful V8 with all the noise. Or an assured and silent electric ‘drivers’ sports saloon. The M5 is a great car but the Taycan looks better. Handles differently. Do you want to step into the electric realm or do you want to place the (imo slightly...

Cool. I'm a fan of being in control of when things are on and off. I guess this is definitely a case of what one person likes, another may not ? For Porsche, a button costs very little cash but for some of us, it's 100% something we want to have on our cars. And I'm a big fan of change for the...

Running has a meaning of 'being in operation'. Which is the one I'd pick for this situation. Like operate, function etc. So you may nitpick, but I think its use here is correct according to my personal usage ? nitpick response over ?

So you expend (let's be very generous), 0.5 kcal to save 10W. Sounds like a bargain to me. I also like the assurance of pressing a button and knowing the extremely expensive car I've just removed my arse from is no longer running ? I guess I load/unload my car 3-4 times a week and sometimes it...

A good 5 mins. Any power wasted seems pretty pointless to me, for the sake of pressing 1 button ?‍♂️

I always use the power button on exit. Mainly as I want to know it's off. Also, often I'm unloading the car after I get out and want all power draw to be off.

Only 2800 or so miles on it so far. The discs are pretty shiny but not ridiculously so. I’d also state that brakes shouldn’t be that squeaky no matter how shiny! I’ve not tried this. May have to wait for a very quiet road though because as you say: they’re so good that you stop very very fast!

I get the usual motor whine on deceleration, but once the actual brakes get used then they are very very squeaky. Either before I've gone a mile or at very low speeds when you can tell the actual discs are biting. It's really quite loud. I may get a passenger to post a video/sound if I can I...

The key holder (as per the original post), does not have the froot/frunk as a visible button. The key is the same. Well, it's got the standard black fob shell, but it's a normal Taycan key

yeah! Plus points for protection, but it's like a house brick! ?

It does fit the key. I use it for my spare key so it doesn’t get damaged in the box I keep them in. However, it makes the keys a lot bigger and a lot heavier (more than double the weight I reckon). It does glow in the dark quite well though

The pay off is pretty decent on 21" rims vs 20" rims, but given it's much warmer now I'm not too surprised. My last months of journeys see me averaging 2.6 mi/kWh and really that's a lot of local and very short journeys (the best being a 3.2mi/kWh and even a 2.9mi/kWh for a 10 minute hop across...

The only thing I didn't add was PDCC. Did slightly regret it once locked, but I've not found a moment to regret it on the road: the car stays utterly composed at all times. I agree with this, but then I would as I also went for the Turbo. I preferred the look to the other lower models with the...

Of course and a healthy dose of skepticism was included in my post. But given we’re seeing a lot of pictures of the car, not an unreasonable assumption to think it’s close to production look. And if so, my tongue in cheek comment stands ?

Damn, not the Turbo/Turbo S! ☹️

The test group was pretty interesting and a whole second over a pretty short hot-lap is a lot of time. It did look like Karun pushed the Panamera more than Vicky pushed the Taycan (plus she said so herself). The dig at charging an EV at the end was a bit silly and needless IMO. Like they...

If I ever get time and 'permission' for a toy, I think it will be a petrol/classic. Maybe a Cayman, or maybe an S1 Elise.

I hit a deposit on a Model S the same time as my Taycan as an insurance. If it came in I was going to have a look/drive and see what I thought/how it compared (I'd heard the Model S had improved inside pretty nicely). However, nothing ever came of it and I am pretty sure I wouldn't have gone for...

I like the perforated leather on the wheel. The belts are quite a contrast on that black, maybe a bit much for me. The chrono clock is ok, albeit I think the design of the whole thing could just be better in general (not an issue with your mood, obvs). Body mods I’m never too keen on as I think...
