    Ioniq 5N - Test Drive vs my TT ST

    I steeled myself and watched it through this time. This is not thorough or particularly interesting imo People are comparing these cars because of their capabilities. And finding that they are very close. Then they look at the rest of the package and yes, they are certainly different and...

    [opinion] - hmmm…VW/Audi/Porsche may be in trouble…

    Lots here in the UK. But they are expensive But agreed, I do now know why you'd cross shop a Macan EV and a ICE car. At best you may go hybrid...maybe

    Stick, Twist or Fold?

    My finance is direct with Porsche (VAG), and they were not interested in the slightest in terms of anything with my current car. Haven't even replied to me. I refuse to swallow any kind of loss and pay above market value, because why would I? So, having a certain expectation of customer...

    MY24 Turbo S switched to 20s… Range!!!

    Have to say that even with summer tyres on, no way was the handling improved with 20" wheels. The ride, sure. The handling? No.

    Taycan spoiled me...

    Had the same with a Macan GTS loaner. Although I think actually a decent proportion of it is the electric element. ‘Normal’ ICE cars just feel outdated, slow and just plain old fashioned. It doesn’t feel like that when I get in the 911, which is an absolute delight to drive. But in general ICE...

    Porsche shares plunge after announcing EV rollout delay

    Add one - provide reasonable (doesn't have to be market-leading), APR for finance options. May fall into cost.

    What is the future of the Taycan? -"The development of the planned new platform for electric vehicles in the 2030s will be rescheduled."

    Part of the problem is that Porsche continuously and steeply puts their prices up and with electric: other car companies can and have been strongly competing. And then VAG put 10% APR on their finance. Positioning Taycan further up in the segment than it should be IMO

    Ioniq 5N - Test Drive vs my TT ST

    100%. My 2019 AMG C63 was an absolute beast of a car. The engine was fantastic and it was an absolute hoot to drive. The interior *looked* great too and it seemed like it had premium materials. But it was the creakiest interior I’ve had in any premium car. The whole centre console moved if you...

    Ioniq 5N - Test Drive vs my TT ST

    Not a fan of the newer Mini’s at all and their suspension is terrible for anything close to comfort. I had an R56 Cooper-S and that was a fun car, but bloody hell hardest suspension ever. The newer ones have not got much better, I've driven a friends. I'm also not a badge snob at all and don't...

    Ioniq 5N - Test Drive vs my TT ST

    It's not available in the UK configurator currently. Annoying as that is what I would pick. I configured the Macan too, but tbh I'm just not all that keen on it and as I said - I think VAG are taking the michael with their APR ha! Always an option to wrap it! 😁 I am going for as much q-car...

    Taycan 18 way seat Discomfort

    It does but it depends on how wide you are. They do not go all the way out as they're designed to be more snug and sporty and give you lots of support. I'm pretty wide (even when as skinny as I can be), and mine used to pinch very slightly until I got my arse in gear and lost a little weight/got...

    Ioniq 5N - Test Drive vs my TT ST

    The size is a big thing for me. Too many times I've taken my car down our lovely country lanes and constantly feel like I need to "breathe in". Even 2 lane small roads it takes up a lot of space and the 5N feels smaller and is physically smaller enough that it doesn't feel so damn wide I didn't...

    Ioniq 5N - Test Drive vs my TT ST

    My wife has driven my car twice in almost 3 years, so I am pretty certain I won’t miss that feature 😂 👍🏻

    Ioniq 5N - Test Drive vs my TT ST

    I agree on the looks and interior quality, but it is half the price of my TTST 😁 I actually think the chassis and handling are close to being on a par. The Taycan's more complex/expensive air suspension definitely is like a magic carpet on very bumpy roads, but I was shocked how well the 5N...

    Ioniq 5N - Test Drive vs my TT ST

    I am looking at options for new cars currently, as my PCP runs out on the Taycan and I've decided not to take the huge hit to pay the lump sum (the car is worth less than!). I deliberately got the Taycan on PCP because of advancing technology and me being unsure on Porsche's foray into electric...

    "The Quiet EV Charging Emissions You Didn't Know Existed" - article

    So the conclusion is that a fan on a charger can blow particles around? And not particles specific to EV’s. Just particles. and how many of us plug in a charger and stand right next to it waiting? Does anyone? :facepalm:
