Pros: 1. Stupid fast as expected. 2. Practical 3. Solid hybrid system that works intuitively. Almost 3000 miles in and I’m averaging close to 50mpg because the V8 won’t kick in until I get on it or deplete the battery, and I rarely dive more than 40 miles in a day. I think if I had in on electric mode I could have been able to do 95% of the miles in EV only, but no fun in that. 4. In a world overpopulated with Cayennes and X5s it’s more interesting to look at. It gets a little attention but mostly by car people or curious onlookers who don’t even know it exists. For someone like myself who doesn’t like to attract attention in something like a G Wagon or Urus as I putter around town it’s a low key as it’s going to get in a car with so much power. 5. Very solidly built, not a squeak or rattle to be found. 6. I find it very beautiful. 7. It’s very competitively priced in its segment. 8. You get many advantages specific to EVs such as being able to hold/engage climate without engine running, which is a lifesaver in the southeast. Cons: - Sound system is crap. - Exhaust is muted. Actually not a con for me at this time in my life cause I like to have one car that’s not screaming at me all the time but for those who like to hear their V8 an exhaust upgrade is a must. - You can feel the weight when the car is under load in a turn and you go over a road imperfection and the whole thing jumps sideways. The AWD sorts it out but that’s the only time you get conscious of it. - The biggest con is specific to the wagon and doesn’t apply to the sedan. They haven’t upgraded the rear suspension from the sedan to account for the extra weight at the back of the wagon. If you look at them side to side the wagon squats more in the rear. This results in less rear dampening because some of the travel is absent, and it makes the ride at the back very harsh. As in lift the rear passenger off their seat harsh if you go over a speed bump a little too aggressively. I find myself circumventing small road imperfections. This is honestly the only thing that actually bothers me in this car, that they haven’t spent a little extra time and money developing a rear suspension setup specific to the wagon. TLDR: I really like the car, it’s beautiful, fast, and economical when you want it to be. If you want something as practical as an SUV for a daily without it being another SUV and can tolerate a little harsher ride and a couple of groans from your rear passengers I would recommend it.
As a keyboard player, I need the back seat for my Korg Kronos and the back hatch (whatever you call it) for my Roland KC500; everything fits, and the CT is low, therefore easy to load/unload (I'm a geezer, so this feature matters to me) It's my fourth Porsche: Smooth (like buttah), quick enough around town & on I-75, handles the way you would expect the extremely low center of gravity to allow Super-comfortable seating position; after recent software updates, I am regularly seeing 265-270 miles of range (somewhat less than other EVs, but I have convinced myself that it's acceptable for a performance car) . . . Did I mention smooth? Has air suspension, so it's unlike anything I have ever driven, but kinda hard to describe
