Audi e-tron GT

They are really nice cars, look great and drive very well......having said that...buy the Porsche.

The RS will be better specced than standard model so its not just power you're paying for. Although power does make up a fair chunk of the price differential

I've one coming this month. After 14 months waiting on a BMW i4, I gave up and ordered an Etron GT back in October. Like others said the general consensus would be to buy the Taycan, In my case would of cost only 2-3 grand more for equivalent spec 4S, but I would of have to wait another 6-9 months for that and after waiting so long already I wasn't willing. I also prefer the look of the Etron, especially the exterior, which is subjective of course but I don't doubt the Porsche badge would make a lot of people choose the Taycan. I also like that the GT is more rare on the roads.

Etron is a very good looking car, very good stance on the road you would spot it a mile off. I reiterate the request for many photos when you get it and some ametuer review please.

Enjoying it so far, I only ruled out the Taycan because of the wait really, the price difference after speccing them similarly was less than 3K, the GT ended up costing 130K after ~22K worth of extras, The Taycan would have been only a little more but the difference was a 2 month wait vs about a 9 month wait and being able to get January delivery on the GT. The cars have such low spec as standard they need so much added just to be the standard you'd expect in a car like them. I do like the rarity of the GT. I seem to see Taycans all the time but rarely a GT.

Yeah, me. I live in the UK and had my GT since September 2021. Heater failed in December with 11,000 miles on the clock, and had replacement fitted last Thursday/Friday. Several cars at my (small) dealer awaiting heaters too, some a month or two longer than me, though I drove mine without heat for the 2 months. Know several people with Taycans off the road due to the same problem, some only a few months old.

New heater is supposed to correct the design flaw in the original and would presumably be fitted to cars going down the production line in the last few weeks.

Very different cars! do you want a sports coupe or a SUV ? If it's space you want get the SUV.Also the Volvo will have more range, the GT needs to be driven very conservatively to get anywhere near the claimed range.

Looks lovely, have fun with it

Yeah It's quite low but I haven't had any issues yet, I tend to take it handy over ramps etc with that in mind. I find the (air) suspension is quite good and absorbs bumps and ramps well. In Economy mode it lowers the car further but I tend to only use that when on motorways or the likes.

Parked beside an etron GTat a charger yesterday, 221 G registration plate. Nobody in it so had a look around it. All 4 alloys completely kerbed and in bits, plus a few dings on the passenger wing and passenger door plus scrapes on drivers door where it looked like door was opened against a wall repeatedly. Very distressing to see somebody treat their lovely car like that after paying north of 100k

Without some serious discounting they’re going to be left with them sitting In showrooms. Makes the Taycan look cheap unless you go mad with the options.
