I test drove the Taycan and came back not as impressed as I thought I would be.

Good handling, but numb steering and brakes, very noticeable heft, and a lack of engagement due to no transmission really let it down, and the synthetic noise which I thought would be cool was more annoying and didn't match throttle input.

The interior is only okay with materials, there are some obvious hard plastics, and space is tight despite being mid-sized (a model 3 is larger inside and for cargo), and the tech is clumsy at best. My biggest issue is price, I drove a $160k car and didn't feel satisfied, my sales advisor even said "this one is lightly optioned." There is no way in hell I'd spend $160k on a Porsche that doesn't have an engine at the back or middle, 911, 718, and even used GT3/4's can be had at this price point, or even better, a Model 3 AND a 718 GTS 4.0/Used GT4, that way you can have your cake and eat it too, a great electric daily and fun weekend sports car.
