FINAL REPORT We loved our EV, and Porsche is already fixing the few issues we had

- John Mcllroy

Porsche Taycan CT

Engineers can be an annoying bunch. You spend six months with one of their creations, finally manage to come up with a couple of areas where there might be scope for improvement - and then you find that they've fixed them in general updates. Not even the decency to wait for a mid-life facelift. Pfft.

You can understand my frustration, because after half a year with a Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo, I am obliged to report that this £100,000-odd EV is every bit as accomplished as you might expect.

Its performance is staggering - and our car is a 'mere' 4S - yet its overall efficiency has been constantly north of 3mi/kWh. Its cabin has been comfortable, and stayed beautifully finished, with no obvious rattles or squeaks, and an admirable resistance to the sort of scuffs and stains inflicted by my nine-year-old son. My own grubby fingers did make a bit of a mess of the control screen on the centre console, mind.
