I was thinking Taycan next Dixy when my 3 years are up on the Macan. Stunning looking cars, quick charge and decent mileage range  SDV8 AB MY 2019

I couldn’t get into the back of a Taycan when the drivers seat was set to my position, might not be an issue for some, but middle son is just over 6’ so it was a complete non starter. There’s a big risk with residuals as well, not an issue if you’re financing, but the thought of £600+ a month on interest alone was another non-starter! MY23 Panamera E-Hybrid

Beautiful pickup, huge fan of the Porsche Panamera. I'm curious about how you're finding the Burmester system vs the Meridian system you had in your RR.

I have a 2013 Cayenne GTS with that system and to my ears the Burmester system is one of the best systems I've heard just behind the Naim system that's an option in Bentleys. I only have the mid range 825w system in my RR but my dad has a 2023 FFRR AB and that has the full fledged Meridian system and in my limited time with it I left thinking that the Burmester is still ahead of Meridian, wondering if its still holds true in the new models.

Thank you! It’s a great car, I’m 18 months and just over 20,000 miles in and no thoughts of changing, which is what normally happens around this point.

The Burmester system is excellent, well worth the extra money over Bose. I had a drive in a Macan with Burmester, not sure if it was because it was an older system, where the speakers were located or the acoustics but it wasn’t quite as good as the one in the Panamera. I only had the 825w system in my RR as well, which was pretty disappointing after 2 years with Bowers & Wilkins in a 2017 750i, the Burmester is significantly better. I’ve not experienced the 1400w Meridian system. MY23 Panamera E-Hybrid

I have a Taycan ... amazing to drive, but there are several known issues - I have had a brake recall, new sub, boot re-sealing and 2 x heaters in 13 months (on a '21 plate!!)

The only issue I’ve had was an occasionally sticky charge flap which they replaced at the first service.

But that makes it less reliable than my Range Rover, which didn’t have so much as a rattle over 2 years and 40k miles. MY23 Panamera E-Hybrid
