Is there much negotiations/discount possible with Joe Duffy Porsche or is it take it or leave it?

The retail price is the price you pay. They may knock a few quid off just to keep a round number, but there's no discount on a new Porsche.

Fair play to you.

Stunner,
Anyone that thinks a Tesla is in the same league as that has been brainwashed.

Having ordered a blue and purple (barney ?) car from the configurator without seeing it – I was certainly hoping it would be okay when revealed on collection:

I was looking for something more adventurous than my previous grey car and was seeking a modern twist on a kind-of 70s colour theme.

Interior.

Its not a colour scheme for everyone but I was really pleased with the outcome.

As an electric car owner myself I could only dream of owning one of these. Nice one tigerbalm (I'd call your car blue not barney purple though

)

The inside is purple :P

I hope I’m not the only one who went into the Porsche site last night and put these colours into the configurator and marvelled at its beauty.

Car porn.

A quick view of what "configuration decision" day looks like. There are so many options, but a good bit of the fun if you are into these cars, is learning about every detail and making those decisions.

tigerbalm_eu · 24-06-2021 2:16pm

Quick question. I'm new to this forum and don't want to spam it, etc. I'll admit that I don't know the culture here and am not a regular. I'm happy to keep posting about the car, what I've learnt and answer questions. But only if its not considered - a bit too much.

I was thinking of writing a bit about how three performance options – Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV+), Rear Wheel Steering (RWS) and Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) work together to make quick cornering feel comfortable.

Dav010 · 24-06-2021 2:18pm

Go for it.

You’re detailing what most of us will never even get to do, keep posting.....!

That looks like a room designed to help part you from your money!
Looking at the configurator online it looks like some pretty basic stuff is not standard and you have to add plenty of options. In most cars options are worthless when you come to trade in . Is it the same for porsche's in Ireland or do they hold their value?

Gumbo · 24-06-2021 5:08pm

Yes keep posting.

Remember, there was a time when BMW M5’s and M3’s were beyond our reach. There was a fine when a Tesla was beyond most of our reaches so for anyone into these they will be lurking and may be the next second hand buyer.

If you'd like to have a play with the infotainment (called PCM - Porsche Communication Management) system in the Taycan – here is a fun site from Porsche that is fairly accurate:

https://your-digital-co-pilot.com/en

This doesn't simulate the separate Passenger Display which gives your co-driver their own cut down version of the PCM. You can catch a glimpse of it in the opening background video.

Was pleased to see this one deliver the full 22kW, with is rare for a hotel (https://www.ballygarryhouse.com). The 22kW AC charger is an upgrade option, otherwise AC charging is limited to 11kW, but in practice more like 7kW on a single phase.

markpb · 27-06-2021 12:25pm

22kW on-board chargers are great, every car should have them!

slave1 · 16-08-2021 1:34pm

Had the pleasure of driving behind a lovely blue Taycan Turbo S yesterday, my word, what road presence

Boscoirl · 17-08-2021 9:20am

Was down in Kerry last week on holidays, and they were everywhere, saw atleast 4, the 5th could have been a Panamera. saw 2 Audi GT etrons also, not a patch on the Taycan imo

OK motors people. Used to post here a lot under fitzgeme in the past, but there be dragons in the motors section.

Coming out of a model 3 Performance and into a Taycan. Took a testdrive and was instantly sold. The spec is a nightmare. I think the 4s is the sweet spot and plenty fast. Prefer the saloon than the cross tourismo, purely on looks even though I can spec the estate slightly cheaper cause it has more standard equipment.

Will those in the know check my spec and give me any advice...nothing is on of off the cards but its getting really blood expensive now so not going to go much more crazy.

Many thanks, and nice to be back.

That is some spec! Loaded car.

did you consider the Audi E Tron Gt at any stage?

rocky · 19-09-2021 5:06pm

I would include heated steering wheel and comfort access... does the driver have seat (and steering wheel) memory?

bf · 19-09-2021 5:33pm

Lovely spec car. A few observations from me:

would you consider 22kw charger option - faster charging at regular chargers
Sports sound - I’m not sold on it, think the novelty wears off quite quickly
Passenger display - looks great but not sure how useful it is in real life & owners forum would seem to back this up

did you test drive a rwd? It’s not as fast as the 4s and will seem slow coming out of a performance model 3, but it’s on spring suspension - so more Porsche like drive

Audi just doesnt do it for me, cant tell you why they look great.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117911899#Comment_117911899

The wheel is heated on the sportex option. Seats have memory unsure about the steering wheel.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117912002#Comment_117912002

Will the 22kw option charge faster at home? I have just a regular Tesla charger at home think its only 11kw I dont have 3 phase, it is more handy outside my house, advice appreciated?

I like the sports sound its deadly.

Passenger display is specced.

Like a 4wd car, the RWD is just a bit too slow, also to spec it well takes you right up there anyway. I am getting old so like comfortable suspension, sold a 911 before because it was a back breaker.
