I am getting between 2.2 and 2.7 depending on road conditions. Short runs 1.2 to 1.6 often enough in winter because of the heater. A trip to and from Anglesey gave 2.5 last month. In summer I have seen 3.0 one way on the same trip in flowing traffic, presumably because of slipstreaming because...

That is people falling for the Tesla marketing I think. It is certainly more efficient if you haven't bothered to invest in the technology of blended braking for regeneration via the brake pedal ? . Make a virtue out of a shortcoming and non technically minded customers may well fall for it.

I wasn't going to choose it but the Porsche "ambassador" I know recommended it so I dropped the Racetex headlining instead. I have only compared a car with all 3 to one without (or at least definitely without PDCC and torque vectoring, don't know if it had RWS) and the difference was marked on...

Mine is a CTEK Lithium XS UK since I am in England. It may be the same but the instruction book doesn't have that text. It does say it may give an error if charging is interrupted during accept or analyse phases and need a reset. Given the accept phase is 30 secs maximum and analyse up to 3...

It depends on the sort of roads you drive and how sporty your driving. On twisty country roads those options are a BIG improvement IME. Personally, for my taste and the roads around here, I would rather have a 4S with those options than a turbo without, the chassis tweaks are felt on every...

That is odd. I haven't needed the reset button on mine ever. I just connect it to the battery using the croc clips and plug it in. If I understand the manual correctly the reset button on the CTEK needs to be used if the 12V battery is so flat it has gone into self protect mode. Pressed for > 10...

I probably drive more often with the sound off than on! I am always disappointed by the quiet bits being lost under the background noise and I have a dedicated listening room at home and listen to music in there every day now I have retired.

Absolutely. The big problem with car audio is that both the speaker drivers and the listeners can not be in acoustically good positions relative to each other. The mid and tweeter have to be too far apart to integrate well and the path length from speaker to ear varies far too much from left to...

I haven't heard the Burmester system but I compared the standard to the Bose and as a straight system (controls level and no faux surround since the standard doesn't have it) I found the standard system slightly less harsh than the Bose. It has low colouration on spoken voice and even in...

Get well as quickly and as comfortably as possible. Hope you weren't ill whilst away.

I got Mamba Green in the end but Frozen Berry was my other choice, lovely colour. Does the car lock and unlock using the key buttons? If it does the 12V -may- be low but hasn't gone into self protection and needs driving a while to get the 12V battery charged or a lithium battery charger...

Mine doesn't work about 1 time in 5 or so but I live in an area with very poor mobile phone signal so I have always put it down to that.

I liked those but my dealer wouldn't order tham for me because they are "for the GTS". I really like the design when painted satin black and really dislike it in gloss black with shiny bits! I bought others instead, which I like too even with the shiny bits since they aren't gloss black, and...

Hadn't noticed. TBH I am only peripherally interested even in Taycan depreciation since I keep cars a long time.

I have too but expect the fact that the car is disabled for 35 minutes during the update probably means the warning window and permission to do now needs to be requested. I haven't had the notice either.

Exactly, as long as UK has tax loopholes depreciation will be big on any car attractive to people "entitled" to the loopholes, particularly the more expensive models.

The Taycan shrinks around you size wise when driving and doesn't feel like a big car UNTIL on the narrow roads I use in the Oxfordshire countryside it is definitely hugely wide when there is oncoming traffic and parking is tight everywhere. It was something that gave me second thoughts before I...

It varies with the current fashion, supply and demand and probably brand image which varies from country to country. Here I think it has been very strongly distorted by tax loopholes, incentives and the component shortages we had during the pandemic and invasion of Ukraine. Plus the effective...

The Taycan is my first Porsche. I have tried others over the last almost 30 years but the Taycan has been the first to come to the top of the short list.

I had to wait a long time for my order to arrive but since I have had my car the twice I have needed a loan car from Dick Lovett it has been a Taycan CT
