I was a bit anxious as I had a load of insurance quotes declined. I decided they weren’t too keen to insure a 69 year old despite a clean licence and no claims for over 15 years. I saw the post about Admiral so got a quote. Spoke to NFU and their quote was about £ 50 more. I then upgraded to a...

Thanks for the info. I’ll ask the dealer to double check the supply & fix cost. Your figure of £ 522 is the same one I saw on a Vodafone site. I saw you r3commending Admiral and so got a quote from them and it is the lowest yet. I’m with NFU and will try to get them down to the same amount. I...

1) My insurers require a "Thatcham approved tracker" - a UK independent checking authority that classifies trackers into the different level of security 2) My current tracker notifies me immediately the car is driven without the required 'token'. I don't think the App would notify you - won't...

DavidL - my dealer has said the supply and fit is £ 750 payable to them and then the subscription circa £ 300 to Porsche. You didn't have any issues with it but was the monitoring of it up to scratch

Awaz - did you get the Porsche tracker - if so is the service good and also reliable. I need a tracker fitted for my insurance cover. I was really annoyed to be told that if I get a tracker installed I would invalidate the warranty. I have an excellent tracker in my present car with a small...

Timcat- I haven’t got my car yet so can’t check it myself. When you turn off the speed limit warning do you still get the speed limits in one of the displays / HUD. I ask as in my very soon to be gone Lexus, if I turn off the warning the limits disappear as well. Hopefully the Porsche system is...

Porsche in the UK has done a deal with Ionit’s where Ultra charging costs about 50%. You get a similar deal at Porsche Centres - article here -https://www.porsche.com/uk/aboutporsche/e-performance/charging-bev/ They waive the monthly subscription for 3 years. IONITY charge £ 10 / month for...

As the problems with Lane Keeping seems to be manufacturer wide, I wonder if it’s the safety rating agency’s requiring them to be aggressive to ‘protect‘ inexperienced and hopeless drivers. Perhaps if they’re not aggressive enough then the car doesn’t get 5*

I haven’t got it yet. I sell my car next Monday and Polestar comes next Thursday. I really need a SUV type for access but they are about £ 3k for a month whereas the Polestar is £ 800. I’m sure it’ll make me appreciate the 4S when it arrives. I‘m selling now as I am convinced the residual on my...

WLTP may be nonsense, but it’s nonsense for both models !

Mine should be arriving late Feb / early March. https://porsche-code.com/PS8Y2FR1 I have sold my current car so hiring a very cheap Polestar 2 for a month.

In the UK the iX is either a 40 or 50. In terms of performance the iX50 is a little slower to the Macan 4S - 0 to 62 mph. An approx 1 year old car with few options is for sale for £ 69k - the list for the same spec new is £ 106k. WLTP efficiency is given as 2.9 to 3.3 miles / KW. The 4s WLTP...

You made a very wise choice when you went for the 4S and not the RZ. When I was discussing selling my May 23 Takumi the sales guy who I have dealt with before, said Lexus would not buy my car unless it was a px specifically against a new RZ. The reason Lexus are subsidising finance and giving...

According to the App - The car was ordered on 31st Oct. Just after Xmas I ordered a 4 and was told earliest would be late April but would probably be May / June. Sales guy called on the 6th Jan and said they had a 4S allocation free as a client had cancelled and Then said if I upgraded to a 4S...

Having just lost 50% of the purchase price on a Lexus RZ 450e in 20 months I have been researching the expected residuals like a hawk. I have also been closely watching the Autotrader site for new and ex demos as I was originally quoted delivery in May. Today there are 20 4S’s on Autotrader...

As there is a printed version I’m surprised there isn’t a pdf somewhere on the web.

Greybeard72. There are many hours hrs of Out Of Spec - ordering, collecting the car, 3 episodes taking the car home, setting up the car, comparing to Tesla, range test, safety features. Already posted on another thread is a UK Youtube where they drive 6 EV’s from 100% to 0% on a motorway...

tommjw - the main thing now is to ensure the cars are registered before 1st April. I expect them to change the exemption from the ‘expensive car supplement tax’ some time in the future but at least now we should avoid a total £2k over the next 5 years.

Porsche must be expecting the residuals to hold reasonably well in the UK - if you look at the cost of a base Macan 4S then look at the PCP offered then the price to buy after 3 years is 55% of the original price - admittedly without options. Perhaps they are covering for a deeper drop in...

Having come from a Lexus where there are no options other than internal and external colours, I find the Porsche approach far better. With Lexus and now Merc’s, Audi etc. if you want say a sunroof in Lexus world you have to buy the model that comes with it and at Merc you have to buy the...
