Could use help. I plan to get the Taycan 4S. Would you all recommend the PDCC? I went ahead and selected the PTV+ and Rear Axle. Not even sure those are needed but selected based on a few reviews. But not sure about PDCC.

I am not an aggresive driver. Will use mostly for city driving. And at that, basic road. Worth it? Appreciate the help in advance

Of the 3 options listed and your stated use case then only the Rear Axle Steering (with Power Steering Plus) will be of most value to you.

Torque vectoring (PTV+) is a good option to have but I doubt you would gain any advantage.

Dynamic chassis control (PDCC) is great for tracking and more aggressive driving but again in your particular case it would serve little or no purpose. It is normally the 'icing on the cake' on any Porsche for outright handling.

Can you test drive a car with these features in order to form your own impression?

My view is, save some money and simply tick the RAS (PSP) box and you'll be dandy.

Nope, PDCC is a waste of money if you don't drive aggressively on fast roads with lots of turns, like racetrack or mountain/canyon roads, save your money for some other option. PTV isn't really necessary for you either because again it's only useful for aggressive driving with turns.

Rear axle steer however is VERY useful as it tightens your turning circle when making U turns and helps your maneuvering in tight parking lots.
