I enjoyed the video and look forward to a more in depth review.

I think the Gen 2 version will be awesome.

Great review and agree with you about this car, it is actually not that bad to drive. It's even better on a racing track, especially in a straight run.

When you say it makes you happy, then that's all that matters. This is a stunner. I love these.

Great report, certainly food for thought for those us looking for alternatives to JLR cars. Thanks.

Great video, pick up mine 4s CT from Leicester Porsche next week, can't wait !

£1, 259 in tyres every 16, 000 miles apparently 👍 nice video

[steffydog]

Many thanks, looking forward to the next video, what a lovely car, enjoy, keep well 👍

Thanks for a really interesting real world review, and I am very glad you are happy with your purchase and I nearly spat my coffee on the floor when you said to the Mrs 'I just went out again cause I found more modes on the car' - a truly superb illustration of 'man logic'. Have a great weekend and I look forward to the next video.

Great video, pleased to see your first impressions are pretty high

[h.pandjarov]

Great review, I am getting a Taycan myself hopefully soon. Keep the good work!

[Grahamponting]

I completely agree, 'where do you go from here?' I've been lucky enough to own a number of special cars but there has always been a compromise - stunning performance but lack of practicality in real-world driving conditions or great ride etc. but lack of sporty feel - my Taycan CT has literally no compromises. I live in the country and the 4 wheel drive and adjustable air suspension are essential for a daily, but when I want to push on, this thing will leave everything else for dead! Probably not a great investment but I'm lucky enough not to care ....too much. Best all-round car I've ever driven, I love it! Great vid BTW.

[kevletmein]

Great video. Seems like a lot of us are interested with these as they seem such a well built EV, for once!

[harmony]

Looks really nice.
I've been waiting for the launch of Macan EV that keeps getting delayed.
If Porsche's first EV is that good, I'm hopeful the next one, a Macan wouldn't be less exciting.
Once I read that the range will be nearly 400 miles. If not for the fastest top turbo type model but if it is for the long range version, that would be really useful and very tempting.

[karenglenister]

What a phenomenal car - clearly an absolute joy to drive!! Absolute class from the colour, its looks, how spacious it is, design, endless features.
Love that you have to keep taking out to try yet more about it 👍.
Once again, a very enjoyable, fascinating and informative video.

[olunelum]

I love your videos and your presentation is very humble. Well done.

[SDKb]

Great car - I love the Sport/Cross Turismo 👍🏻

[markyates]

Make sure your home is on octopus electric. They have a cheap off-peak overnight around 8p/kWh Vs 35p from all other companies. Works out to 2p/mile Vs 15 for petrol

[ghowells]

Enjoyed that. Started to look at used sport tourismo and couldn’t believe how they have come down. Will watch your videos with interest in this as May look to part ex the Macan GTS for one. Interested in must have options, boot space (enough for a large dog) and range

[RB-ltkt]

Nice car. I am possibly looking at a used Taycan and possibly the Tuismo as the rear headroom seems in reviews to be better. Used base and 4S cars can be similar price but that can be because of options. Is the long range battery worth it as the car charges so fast ? EV cars can looe 5 tp 10% battery capacity over 3 years depending how you charge it. After market wheels might be worth looking at as Porsche charge a lot for these. My options would be colour (frozen Blue or Crayon) pano roof, Bose sound, EV car sound, Leather not sure about ? Possibly the Sports pack so bumper and side sills nicer but like the standard look as well. 7kw charger will take 6 or 8 hours to charge from 20 to 80%. AC charging will reduce battery wear.

Also been watching the depreciation and value versus the petrol/ diesel equivalents! Looks like you have a cracking car, looking forward to seeing how the EV experience goes this time 👊
