It's super capable, a real sense of occasion if you're a Porsche guy, but it lacks drama. I mean if you want a well-rounded daily-able super car, there probably isn't a substitute... But it's some compromise for a daily, unless you have bucket loads of cash of course.

I’m 74, my Model Y Performance fits my needs perfectly. My gf didn’t object to the ride, perhaps because I gifted her with my P85D. Both cars exhibited “phantom braking” with AutoPilot. My doggo hasn’t thrown up in the Y 🐶She did in the S.

I wish manufacturers would place more emphasis on ride quality. We have a Polestar 2 and although it's not as bad as Teslas offerings, the ride is far from perfect, particularly on 20" wheels. It's a six tenths kind of car, so I just want it to be super comfy. In contrast we've also got a Honda e, and the ride is absolutely superb. It's not wallowy, but it's perfect judged, and as a result it feels sophisticated and as if they've actually spent some money on the suspension.

Had an X and a Y biggest problems were auto wipers, random braking while apaptave cruise was engaged when absolutely no-one was around us, the shitty ride quality (although the X was far better than the Y) and the build quality was super bad panel gaps on both and paint run on the drivers door of the Y that should have never passed inspection. The biggest positive was the charging network but that's opening to everyone anyway. Got a BMW IX to replace the X and it's the best car I've ever owned by a mile so far. Rides like butter handles well super comfortable, augmented reality built into the nav, heads up display with mapping, best sound system (bowers and Wilkins) I've heard in a car from the factory in a car. Could not go back to gas after owning an ev, so happy we found the IX.

Perfect timing as I’m making this very decision. What I’ve also read and it’s logical is that the other difference is 400kg extra of batteries does effect handling and feel a little on the E-hybrid. However, if you have another sports car so this car will be filling the family car space then the hybrid makes a lot of sense with more advantages than disadvantages. Decision made, including air suspension and PDCC for minimal body roll!

@stephenhinson741019 күн бұрын
@@kdcyp You won't because if you do journeys of 2-400 miles like I do the battery will deplete even with regen but you can select e charge to top up the battery whilst moving but then your MPG will drop which defeats the object. I have done 17,000 miles in mine and on long runs you miss the extra push of the 100BHP and the car feels sluggish. The other issue is that if driven mainly on electric Porsche do not advise this as the engine oil can degrade and instead of 20,000 miles between services the need to have an intermediate oil change comes upon you with a cost of £550-600 just for the oil change. I'm changing mine now to a new S Coupe but the eHybrid is still a great car. 😊
@kdcyp19 күн бұрын
@@stephenhinson7410 ok thanks for your extra info based on experience. I thought like a mild hybrid that the battery would always keep a reserve just for heavy acceleration then run on petrol. Fortunately for me I don’t do many long journeys and our Porsche service costs here in Cyprus are more reasonable than UK. However another consideration is that you should ensure you use most of the petrol tank every month or so to avoid todays eco fuel from clogging up the engine so running on elec alone all the time isn’t feasible either. I will use it as a daily driver so should just manage that.

Power output (394 bhp) and torque (317 lb-ft) are a nice match to this car's sensible curb weight (~3200 lbs). The color is Gentian Blue metallic with a black/chalk all-leather interior and silver wheel rims. It's definitely an entertaining driver's car! So far, I've only done 452 miles but hopefully a lot more this coming Summer! The PDK is also a lot of fun (it's definitely quick) 🤓 All the best and thanks again from Colorado!
