I tested an i5 40 with 20 inch wheels and standard suspension and a 60 with 20 inch and adaptive M suspension. World off difference! Maybe the adaptive non M will also be fine.
If even the Germans can’t make a reliable EV just imagine what owning an Italian one would be. Ok the battery was invented by an Italian (Allesandro Volta) maybe they have an advantage.
and even smaller dealership network than Porsche (same for Lotus) which you will likely need a lot.
But it...
Did a test drive in a eqs 580 this week. Silver like my CT. I like the look. Interior and seating is great. MBUX with hyperscreen and augmented reality works really well. Makes PCM look like a Commodore 64. Driving is so smooth and so silent. It was amazing for me and an eye opener. So relaxing...
My 4CT and even a 4S are beated by the model 3 LR. If they introduce the M3 performance it will also beat the gts. At half the price or even less. It even has ventilated seats, SuC acces, longers range, fast charging, bigger trunk and frunk. With the recent facelift it is supposed to be more...
One thing that is very nice is the battery pre heating button in the most recent idrive version. First edition didn’t have it and it was added as a software update. Come Porsche, do an effort make us up to date. I’d BMW can do it so can you.
Just did a testdrive in an iX 50. It is very refined. Very quiet. Better accelerations than my 4 CT. 360 km range left at 70% soc. Seating position probably getting used to. spirited driving and cornering way worse than the Taycan. Glad I was back in my own car. But for a long straight drive...
And you
And you can probably order 10 of them and still spent less than on one Taycan. Maybe we should first ask where they buy their HV heaters and if they have the latest version of CarPlay.
Didn’t you have an x5 45e before? I had one too. Saw you on Bimmerpost a couple of years ago (my Bimmerpost name is X5 45e). Enjoyed that car a lot. Driving a lower car like the Taycan is nicer everyday but the X5 was good for long trips. Miss it for that.
It has more chrome everywhere. The doorhandels are metal in the Taycan they are made of plastic. The seats are a bit thinker. The switches are a bit more design. It has a bit more leather around the dashboard. All this gives it a more luxurious look. I think part of this can be explained by an...
Just drove back with my 4 CT and dropped of the Panamera.
The Taycan is better in so many ways :
Although it is heavier it feels lighter than the Panamera. Corners are easier. Probably to lower Centre of gravity and I do have RWS. The Taycan is better around corned. Panamera feels more like a...
May Taycan is in for the a repair (again ++) and I got a Panamera PHEV. Just did a drive. For half and hour I really enjoyed the engine sound. It feels quicker in sportsmode than my 4 CT. It actually is half a second faster 0 to 100 but it feels quicker than that. It only had 8 way seat but they...
Like mentioned above why do you have range anxiety when you drive less than 30 miles a day in general and you do have an X5 hybrid anyway for longer trips?
I have heard the same about the xc90 t8. No awd with empty battery. For your second post. No PHEV is made to drive full power electric and fuel for and hour. The battery will be depleted and driving will be less powerful. And for the xc90 it would mean driving 2 WD. In practice however this...
I had an X5 45e before the Taycan and was very happy with it.
good electric range. Great inline 6 sound. Economy wasn’t even that bad for a heavy 6 cylinder petrol. I think I was around 10 l per 100 km on long trips. Around 110 K euro almost fully optioned. A Cayenne will be much more...
The air suspension and the hatch would be the only reason to go for a model S over 3 for my use. A model 3 performance cross Turismo with air suspension for 65.000.
In euro the Plaid is 110.000 in Belgium
99.000 CHF is still a good deal with 1 CHF - 1,05 euro. 5.000 euro less in CH. Writing this makes me wonder why would someone buy a Plaid in Switzerland. One would be much happier with a model 3 performance on those great mountains roads, small...
Wondered why the Plaid was 10% cheaper in CHF compared to EUR. What happened to the CHF or euro? Last time I checked it was around 0.9. Usually I just payed with Euro and they would do a 1/1 and make some profit.
