Help deciding between two turbos

[kev0927]

I'm buying a used Taycan Tubro. If you had to choose between two Turbo models both exactly the same price.
What would you choose?

Car A:
Like:
- Mission E w/ Satin finish
- Olea Leather interior in black with 18-way seats
- charge ports
- everything from performance package except PDCC

Strong dislike:
- Night vision
- No ACC

Car B :
Like:
- Mission E w/ standard
- has ACC
- performance package

Dislike:
- PDCC ( I don't see value for me when I won't track it)
- Interior leather in black with 14-way seats

I'm going with car A because I *think* I'll prefer Olea 18-way seats in my turbo that much over the normal full leather option 14-way.
What do you guys think?

Would you give up ACC and PDCC for Olea leather?

I just wish the person who originally built Car A swapped night vision for ACC. Would've made the entire decision easy.

I would choose A. 14-way seats are quite nice, and the difference between the two is not enough to give up ACC and PDCC (even with Olea leather).

It’s a very personal decision. I think the standard leather is fine but then I’ve owned a Model S with crappy interior for the past 4 years. I would go for the tech over the leather

Full leather is standard on the turbo and is quite nice so it wouldn't bother me to give up the Olea leather option. However, I do prefer the 18 way seats so that's a point in favor of car A.

OTOH, car B does have ACC which it sounds like you really want, and PDCC. I would add that PDCC is not necessarily a track feature and does an amazing job of keeping a 2 1/2 ton car flat in turns even in normal, spirited driving. It's a worthwhile option.

So, to answer your question, I would probably choose ACC and PDCC over Olea and 18 way seats. Just my $.02.

BTW, you don't mention color in your comparison, which would be a big deal for me. Are the two cars the same color-wise?

Anyway, good luck with your decision. Bottom line it will be a great car either way.

I have a Turbo with rear wheel steering. It's really impressive how the car keeps track in spirited corners. I also really love the panoramic roof, so much more light in the car. And having ACC gives you the flexibility to later add Innodrive and ALK. Both can be tried for free for 3 months, plenty of time to decide.
Electric sport sound, some like it, some don't. I like it, when turned on the car is noticed even more by pedestrians.
Last suggestion: you probably already did it, but have another good look at all the options in the configurator and check the extra information about each option. I did it many times, until I was sure I got all options in either of the following category: mandatory, nice to have, don't care, don't want. Next was find the Taycan (4S/Turbo/TS) within my budget that ticked the most boxes and started negotiating with the PC that had that car. Now they don't have it anymore

personally i would not buy a guy in this day and age without acc/innodrive. so many average speed cameras/speed limits

PDCC is a must on a Porsche, it'll make the car much more controllable in an unexpected evasive manoeuvre.
It's just something the car should have as standard, on all Porsches.
Night vision is not only cool but helps to target animals and pedestrians in the dark.
Unfortunately it's impossible to hit them so it's quite useless as a targeting sensor.
I do hope you know it's an additional safety feature cuz it works extremely well!

May I ask why a used Taycan?
I've been interested in a used Turbo as well and the prices I've seen are similar to new with discounts and the $7500 FIT credit.

B for me. 14-way seats are quite nice. I don’t see much value in the 18-ways. I’ll take all the performance package bits and ACC. Wheels can be changed after the fact.

 

[kev0927]

Thank all for the excellent feedback. I tried switching to car B.

Dealer is pushing to move Car A and discounted by $7k!
Now I have to search deep down to see if PDCC & ACC is worth $7k.

Part of me says yes, I'm already spending this much money - let's splurge but logical mind is holding me back.

Regarding colors - Car A is white metallic Car B is dolomite Silver

 

[andrewket]

Still B for me, but I prefer Silver over White.

I like Nightvision and PDCC so If I have to choose between these two options I probably opt for the PDCC so Car B but my preference would be car A with PDCC.
