This is the best car buying advice I've heard in a long time! The base 911's have always been the most enjoyable driver focused choice. Likely true for the new EV's too.
Brilliant video and agree with everything, the base Taycan is everything you need, fast enough 99% of the time. Winter tyres point is spot on too, the amount of people (in the UK) who genuinely think buying a 4x4 on summer tyres makes it a winter weapon 🤦
Oh yes those AWD fixes everything people ;)
@@NickMurray AWD on winter tyres is the real weapon :-D
Sorry you do not require winter tyres on a 4x4 for 99% of winter conditions in the U.K.
@@fredtheted2259 You don’t require 4 x 4 in UK winter conditions 99% of the time
@@NickMurray Yes! Instead of two driving tires that lose grip, you have four tires doing it. That`s brilliant!
And if you want a deal the 2020 4S's are discounted 7%+
Surprised they're discounting them, I thought there was a supply shortage of cars in general? Nobody wants golf carts?
@@commanderrussels2612 Leftover new cars are still discounted.
@@MBisFrenchy I guess I'm saying I'm surprised there are leftovers at all, if there is such a shortage.
@@commanderrussels2612 Yes its slim picking but something is better than nothing.
Nick, please review the base 992 with minimum options.
Every time you talk about that base is the best. We wanna see that.
Yea, Nick is all about that base)

This review: a solid 10/10
Isn't it an infomercial? Still, Nick is a solid wanker, and I
8:31 White paint suits the Taycan very well. The first Taycan I saw was white, and it gives the car a clean, modern look.
The basic model of the Taycan has a naturally aspirated feel.
It is a pleasant driving experience.
more fun.😊😊
Everytime I'm ready to hang up the keys to my Porsche and just get into boats, Nick Murray drags me right back back in. I find myself on the Porsche website configuring my next deprecating asset.Thank you Nick ,keep up the great work.
Appreciate your humor, but lots of Porsche’s appreciate, even newer ones. I was recently offered 10% more than I paid for my 2015 911.
@@jv-kg1nb your pretty lucky than lol. I wasn’t as lucky.
Loved the revolutionary backwards driving shot. Car reviews need more of those!
its a very expensive and tricky to pull off! not many car reviews have that type of insurance
Last week I took my 911s in for service and the dealership loaner was a base Taycan. I was thoroughly impressed in the appearance, handling and acceleration, it changed my mind about electric cars, now I “get it”. I will own a Taycan when my 4 door sedan needs replacing.
That wheel gap, holy shitbattaycan!
Insights into options are great and I love that you keep encouraging ppl to get non-boring colors.
I test drove a Taycan 4S with my dad this past weekend. It is such a special car. Amazing steering, handling. I really liked the infotainment. A few minutes and it felt like home.
I agree about the down-spec'ed 911's.
I tested a GT3 (amazing but too manic for everyday), Turbo S (insane performance but not worth the premium), and settled on my 991 Carrera T - the real sweet spot of the 991.2's. I'll be shopping a Taycan for my wife in a year or 2 after the big depreciation hit - I love them.
The only taycan that I could realistically sell my life away to afford!
Wow this has such a huge wheel gap, almost like an SUV. I think it needs either a lowering kit or air suspension.
Agree to disagree on AWD. My A5 with P7 Cinturato All-Seasons can drive circles around my old IS350 RWD with Blizzaks in the snow. Especially apparent on inclines
I had both from my Porsche dealer for a few days to test them out - the Turbo S is definately MORE fun. But the low range will prevent me to buy one. The 200mi only work if my grandmother would drive the car. By my opinion the sports car purpose is to drive sporty and not think the whole time of the energy or fuel efficency, otherways i could also buy a Prius or VW ID3.
You are so right. Range anxiety should really only apply to small aircraft, not cars.
BEST REVIEW FOR TAYCAN BASE....I have one and I was worried about not having AWD but after watching this video I feel at ease, thanks Nick.
Nice update Nick. Thank you for the accurate information. I have owned 17 Porsches but I believe it will be a long time before I lease or buy an EV.
Love how you say the word "pleasure" like pleesher ;D
The perfect review: entertaining, in depth, practical, unique and as always… great videography. Thank you again Nick!
That’s right. Whatever that can get you into a Porsche is what matters
Smart review. Very rare to have base models on car channels, not everyone can afford fully optioned.
I love the absence of that anachronistic analog clock in the center of the console!
Great Die Hard reference from Albert...and the clean version no less (Mr. Falcon)
Nice review Nik! It's eekspenseeve but it's worth it!
It’s refreshing to see an honest review from a content creator. I was looking at the Taycan 4 Cross Turismo for more interior room. Thanks!
Great review Nick 👍🏽. Would love to see you review the base 992. Cheers!
Depends on if the car has performance battery or not as well. The performance battery plus adds a bit more power.
Can you share the build spec Nick - love the explanation!
I agree with you 100% that the inherent goodness of a Porsche is there even in the "base" model. This is as it should be; if you had to always buy the top model for it to be a "Porsche" then they'd be rightfully vilified for selling entry level vehicles that have none of their brand identity in them.
Just wrote my piece on the base Taycan and had a similar sentiment, however, I went Performance Battery Plus and I get around 500km a week...charge every few days, no issues. It's a great car. Cramped, but lovely to drive.
Another great review but how about another helicopter walkaround and startup, it's been almost 12 months and the Bell 505 could be on the cards or if you pull all the stops and stretch your contacts for the latest news on Hills HX50!
Good review Nick. I would agree with almost everything you stated, except AWD. When youre up against it, and have snow and ice underneath you; you need every tool you can get. AWD + dedicated snow tires = mini tank.
I like my Carrara white as it keeps the car stealthy and in the background. It also doesn't show dirt, paint scratches/swirls like the darker colors. Less is more. I agree, Porsche will sell many base models, but they will be optioned, they have that down to a science.
I would like to know if the panoramic roof has some kind of shade to block the light of sun in the summer or if is allways "open" ?
Very nice content Nick cheers
Unfortunately you need the Air Suspension to get the PVT+ option :).
GT3 configuration walk-through next please 🙏🏻
Please be careful with the speed showing in the video Nick. Here in Germany some RUclipsrs had trouble with the law because of that 😥
Thanks for mentioning winter tires! I live in Minnesota and have rarely bothered with AWD cars. It bugs me when people say they need AWD, when a good set of tires and a functioning brain are all that's required!
I drove a Taycan Turbo. Very impressive. An unusual drive but still very Porsche. Certainly not a flat six replacement but for sure a replacement for a MB or Panamera.
I heard the 981's have gone up in price since the pandemic?! Everyone wants the flat 6! I have a 2015
8:00 Chris Nolan called, and he wants your input for his Tenet sequel.
Sequel already done, I think you mean the prequel.
I wish people would stop focusing on 0-60 times on daily drivers
I have a base Taycan. Very happy with it !!! :). NICE VIDEO!!!!
Nice video Nick and totally agree the more base models are more enjoyable to own in the Porsche range 👌the sport cross tourismo look is just perfect and I’m getting one when I get back home to New Zealand 🇳🇿
You managed to sneak that picture in. Lmao
Taycan options video please ;)
PS You forgot to add that the party trick auto charge door adds to the cost and drag (blocks side vents) and that the standard one is easy to use. Passenger display is nice and useful.
I have the new Supra and a 2010 Cayenne thats running strong at 130K. At some point I want to consolidate both cars and buy an EV sports sedan like the Taycan so I can carry passengers on the rare occasion I need to. I like and agree with your assessment on the base car. My Cayenne is the base and it’s been pretty bullet proof, other than the known issues IE cardan shaft.
Nick's the best. Just makes one's day much happier watching his reviews. By the way 5:27 the spinning Porsche logo on the wheel kind of looks like a swastika.
Nick, electric Porsche.... Sad day... Never... 1978 SC owner...
Bought the base model and miss the low speed acceleration. Looking for a way to trade it in and buy the 4S.
Nick, as always - thank you. Honestly, you are the best. Just keep being yourself!
Liked this review- just enough info in the correct amount of time & not too technical.
Sometimes the base is more fun to drive. Impreza, Lancer, any Porsches,
Would you say Sport Chrono is a must have on the Base Taycan?
What does the future hold for these cars in terms of 10-20 years down the road? Will it be hard to find batteries that 'fit'? Not like rebuilding an engine from 1970 today.
Nice job! I have a 4S and do like the extra power, but I get your point as my last car was a base 991 and the radio is just fine. Need to get the big battery for charging efficiency.
Nick, I love your fancy socks, visible during the Bose stereo segment. You should sell them on your “ silly T-shirt” page.
A real fan
you are my favourite reviewer. thanks.
Nice one Nick! Like few on the Chat "992" base model car review if possible?
Thanks in advance and keep the good works!
Finally a review of one on steel springs! Interesting that you prefer the look of the cross turismo. I will likely wait for that one since I prefer a hatch with a family but I think the sedan is better looking. Why couldn’t they have just made it a hatchback?!
It appears you can't configure the PTV Plus without Air suspension.
Nick - I love to disagree which is more fun - but I have to totally agree on this one!
I am looking into the Taycan right now as my first EV.
The real world range is much higher than the EPA shows.
More efficient is one argument but also no-snow fun is the other, I love RWD cars much better overall.
Rule for buying - new - stay away from all options you can live without (bought new myself)
If you are buying used - you can get fully loaded almost for the same price (bought used myself)
It is just the worst when you have to agree with Nick Murray
@@NickMurray Ha - yes try to avoid if I can :) but many times you are spot on, damn :)
I live at 70 degrees latitude. 4WD is really a good thing here....
Agreed!
Wish they would have a Taycan 4. Base model with AWD. Instead, in order to get AWD, you need to go to the 4S.
One note on range: this car doesn't work with the EPA test. I would be curious about the range difference between the 79 and 93 kWh RWD model, as you can option the larger battery on the RWD. It will certainly yield more range.
Yes and you get up to 290 miles
It's got no bloody roof, it's all glass!! 😱😱
That interior is amazing!!! Btw you’re killing my Carrera 4S dreams. 😢🤡🤡🤣🤣
Crossturismo if it's like the Sport Turismo, if they aren't popular we can hopefully get nice 20-30% discounts after a year like the leftover Sport Turismo were.
Great Review. Gonna Purchase one based off This video. Thank You
I agree with everything you said! Currently in the market for a P-car. Deciding on a nice 991.2 or a Taycan. Different animals, I know. But both are really great cars.
Great video Nick and William. Really enjoyed the practical advice.
what's charging station density like nation wide? (I'm talking US here) close to that of Tesla? I hear that Taycan charging is not compatible with Tesla's so I wonder 200 mi range would get you across country if you wanted to
if you really need to get across the country - I suggest you look at another type of car
That's a very sensible review Nick. You are a very responsible RUclipsr when not driving 100mph. ( The road WAS empty)
Finally someone who acknowledges the diminishing returns of upgrades
Couldn't agree more
Stick some nice wheels on and I'd be set.
(Assuming the bank acct came to the party)
Electric motors. Gasoline engines. The awd Taycans don’t have extra engines.
Will you buy Taycan or new 911 ?
Fully agree, Carrera 2 requires effort and offers involvement in exchange, while Turbo S after initial excitement provides you with playstation like feeling. 911 should go back to basics and offer base Carrera and Turbo, no S nonsenses on between.
The Gentian blue and Cherry 🍒 Metallic are my favourite colour!!! I hate grey and the $0 non metallic black for Porsches too!
Grey is the worst.
@@NickMurray yes, grey looks like cigarette 🚬 ash and just makes me wanna cough when I see grey cars
Crayon colour is the best
I’m with you, Nick. The wagon, er crossturismo, is the best looking one.
Fast public charging needs more capability. Looks good. Maybe next year
Great review Nick! With Porsche, LESS is frequently better than more.
Great review as usual Nick. Always love your honesty. I am a Porsche addict and currently own 5. This could be my sixth if it had 350 miles of range, charged in 5 minutes on any street corner and had a beautiful exhaust note. The Taycan might be the only vehicle Porsche makes that I have no interest in. Still appreciated your thorough review though. Keep up the great content.
I bought a base engine 2018 Carrera T with manual transmission a couple of years ago, and couldn't be happier. A Turbo in PDK would bore me, like a beautiful but dull girlfriend.
I own a GT4, a Carrera S and a 996 GT3 race car. I purchased a Kia Niro EV for my 80 mile round trip commute. I wanted to test the waters before spending $100,000 plus. So far I love the little thing, and seeing there new EV6 I will be very interested in a year or two, the GT has all the performance of the Tyacan for half the price, Porsche needs to get the price down.
Sorry, living in the North of Scotland with lousy poorly maintained roads 4x4 and Winter tyres is. A must for an all year round car
The sweet spot is 4S with 94kWh battery (or even more so Taycan 4 Cross Turismo as it has front motor and the bigger battery for lower price than 4S). You need the front motor if you make longer trips and do want to spend less time on charging (in ideal case you charge it only home, thus effectively spending none of your time for charging). That is due to the fact that Range mode uses front motor only which is the most efficient mode of the Taycan (that is the smallest motor on the car), thus the 4S is more efficient on the highway compared to base Taycan which is important if you do longer trips. For going around in the city base Taycan should be OK.
That Gentian blue would be my pick.
Those wheels are horrible with those plastic inserts, I know they are trying to increase efficiency, but if I am buying a porsche I want to be able to see my brake calipers. The one option i would get is the massive 10 piston front calipers, they look so good.
Do you feel like the Taycan is a mature enough car yet? The lack of good charger navigation and other software imperfections is a concern. If not, any thoughts on when the next gen would arrive?
Do you think you would trade in a low mile, well looked after, manual 996 turbo X50 for one? ...asking for a friend ;)
Seal grey ? 😆🥰
@@lollypop9580 Maybe ;) LOL!
Yeah do it
@@NickMurray Nick, you didn't get it ? 😉
Has Nick reviewed the Taycan Wagon options? For this is what the family peoples care about. Can’t wait to replace our Model 3 LR with a wagon of some EV kind one day soon.
I prefer buying black and then wrap every 2 years or so
