Porsche Taycan

If I told you she's bought her last 4 cars without test driving them, that might give you an indication of her interest 😂.

She went last Saturday, saw the car outside, haggled with the sales lad over the price and did the deal.

He asked her if she wanted to test drive it..."no you're grand thanks. A car is a car is a car"

That’s unduly snobbishness; I dropped a trade-in in advance of collecting my Cayenne and walked from Finglas back to Rathmines, I wouldn’t even pay for the bus. Has to be said that the blisters on my feet were huge but that was more due to the shoes rather than the walk!

So herself picked it up this morning.

Took it for a spin this evening. First impressions...

Very nice place to sit, however I don't like the front part of the driver's seat. It's too high and it pushes your knees up.

It's actually quite a compact car compared to the 8 series she had before.

Acceleration in sports plus is brisk but definitely doesn't feel as brutal as the M3P when you floor it.

Getting used to buttons and switches after using a screen for everything is a huge change.

Tesla's are still miles ahead when it comes to technology. Having a huge screen for the sat nav and a large keyboard for entering your destination is great. Not to mention just sharing your destination with the car from your phone.

The Taycan seems to let 3 little "bongs" every so often and I've no idea what it means!!

Overall it is a gorgeous car and it will probably be extremely comfortable on a long journey. It will just take a lot of getting used to and I really love the look of it.

That looks class, well wear Mrs Ceiling.

Everyone seems to disagree with me but I think that the Turismo versions look way better than the regular Taycan.

She liked the regular version more than the Turismo. It was me who persuaded her 😂

Mine pings a lot when it thinks im not keeping in lane , but you see the warning on the dash screens try turning off all systems in pcm

Beautiful machine, would be terrified leaving that overnight on a street.

Get into garage asap.

I’m totally with you - I love the estate version of most cars, esp bigger saloons like the 5 series, A6, especially the Panamera, and so on and on.
saloons just make me think it’s a middle managers company car :D

the turismo is the only version I’d consider

Couple of things.

I'm out charging at this time of the morning because the wife's chargers in work were all taken yesterday and she had 12% left for a long journey today (it's so convenient not having home charging).

Does the car pre heat for a fast charge? I put in Ionity on the sat nav because it's 350kw and I thought it would start pre heating quickly. Nothing came up on the screen to suggest it was pre heating and there was zero noise from the car/battery to suggest it was.

Also the ESB chargers don't show up on the charging network on the car's screen. None at all. Can they be added manually. I'm thinking this must have been an English car as all the stations are Shell Recharge, BP Pulse or E.ON.

If you had 12% in the battery, it likely didnt start to preheat as the battery was low.

sure still an apple air tag into it somewhere…

Thats mad, I wonder whats driving the prices up.

Looking to buy a tycan, has another brought one in from the UK or is an NI car a better option ?
