Taycan is a different body type. Heck a model Y performance is fugly from the outside but at 73k in terms of acceleration it’s a steal vs 78k GTPE
It's how I title all the competition threads. Admin is free to modify it. The thread is intended to foster comparative discussions to the Mach E.
No 5 sec limit?
In terms of acceleration, yeah the Y performance and 3 performance are some of the best bang/buck out there.
Does riding in one count? I’ve never driven one, but ridden in them as a passenger. A friend had a Boxter (which I understand is looked down upon by Porsche purists, but seemed fun as passenger with the top down (I like convertibles). I’ve also ridden in one of the SUVs a few times. I’m sorry, but I can’t tell you which one. To be honest, it was a generic European luxury SUV interior. Nothing struck me as very unique or distinctive. The only thing I recall about it is that the predominant collar was saddle brown.
If you’re looking down on Porsche interiors, what does it take to impress you?
Yes Porsches can be rough but even a 911 is a good comfort car but yes they are stiff, better comparison to the MME is the Macan. Same size and there is no comparison (Macan is much better) in many ways including potential price with extras.I have always liked Porsche, but never owned one. I have tried configuring them to my taste on the Porsche web site, which is next level compared to what you can do with Ford and other car manufacturers. The problem is, as others have noted, every little option you add increases the price significantly. And when I compare my final specification it to the competition, it becomes hard for me to justify getting one. It isn't just me buying it, I need to get my wife to agree.
I notice cars as I drive. And I always notice a Porsche. A few months ago I saw a Boxer coming the other way on a rough city street. There were two people in the car: a woman driving, and a man, both dressed in suits. She hit a bump and it looked like the two of them hit their heads on the ceiling of the car. I cracked up, it was so hilarious.
I have NEVER had that happen in my MME, which we all complain about being bouncy. Maybe that Boxer didn't have an active suspension, because it was bouncing like crazy.
I wasn’t “looking down” on it. I am most certainly NOT the demographic Porsche (and other European Luxury brands) are aiming for. Sure, the interiors are very nice. Am I willing to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on one of those vehicles? Certainly not. And yes, to me, a Porsche is ugly, just as a Tesla is ugly. I’m not going to apologize because my sense of taste is different than some else’s.
“Ugly” is just personal preference. But no one was judging you for that.
