Nick Murray Taycan Base review

[Tay Tay]

I thought someone (@ron_b) would've posted this already but since not....


I offered to lend him my 4S for a real drag race (unlike that other clickbait video) but he declined.

I personally can not stand him, he’s painful to watch... still watched it though! ?? hahaha any Taycan video is worth enduring pain

Ha -yeah he's tolerable in small doses (and only if i'm very interested in the car he's reviewing). I think this is the first review I've seen of a Taycan on steel springs...

I used to watch his M4 videos a long time ago when I was shopping for an M3.

They were helpful at the time. I don’t have an issue with the guy.

That’s a proper M3, btw...I don’t know how many times I’ve read “M3” on this forum only find out they meant a Tesla...

Made me feel better about my lightly optioned RWD purchase. But then again, let’s be honest, I’d be getting a heavily optioned Turbo S if I could afford it.

kind of wished I had researched Torque Vectoring, though.

And I agree on not picking a boring color on a Porsche...but the wife on the other hand felt differently, so black it is haha.

Here's a better review/overview of the base Taycan:

My RWD ended up with a ridiculous 50k of extras because I really didn’t want the extra speed but wanted most of the other stuff that comes with a Turbo, and I ignored the wife and ordered in Mamba Green with aurum mission e wheels.

I have about the same amount in options on my 4S so I understand completely Jonty.

My case is the opposite.

I initially had my eyes on Volcano Grey but my wife insisted on not-so-much-boring color. I took her advise and ordered in Gentian Blue instead.

Happy wife, happy life. lol.

Sounds like you two can swap cars and wives

Both interesting videos for someone with a RWD on order and trying to nail down the spec.
Happy that a RWD with battery plus is right car for me (more importantly my budget).

It's certainly got me thinking about the torque vectoring again. Just not sure if you live somewhere without a lot of snow/ice?

Also can't decide about the artificial sound option?

I would only pay with artificial money for it.

I ended up with all of that as I was on the fence for PTV+ also then PDCC and in the USA configuration tool there is the Performance Package that is a pretty good deal. I must say I think it's quite infrequent I get to appreciate PTV+ and PDCC as I think you need lots of twisties at a good clip. But when I do have the opportunity I must say that the car is Flat and has no end of grip and power.

I was keen on Gentian until someone described it as Subaru Blue and now I can't unsee it.

Gentian Blue is darker than Subaru Blue. Sapphire blue is more like the Subaru blue
