I have a Taycan CT, 2 months so far have been great. I have to say though, it is more of a hatchback in interior space but is ridiculously wide, so not really a wagon in terms of practicality. 

Got my job with salary of $40k a year in 2004. My parents had a Mazda Protege that made me a life-long fan of Mazdas. I got a silver new Mazda6i automatic (learned to drive manual 7 years later with an R3) for about $18k, just under $2k under MSRP. The R3 was my 3rd car. Got it new with about 100 miles on the odo for…

Just got the 2025 Taycan wagon to replace the minivan. the wagon version is surprisingly hard to find. Even though it depreciates quite a bit, a used wagon is frustratingly hard to find (unless it’s a base 4, which i am not interested in).

I know it’s a cliche, but the Taycan really hides its weight well in most situations, especially if you are talking just about spirited driving.

I hear you, and iX and Taycan (according to C&D) actually benefit from launch control more than most other EVs. Still, the beauty of EVs is that you get most of the acceleration without launch control (Hagerty’s video is a fun demonstration).

It’s a sad world when Mazda has to appeal to the masses with its endless variations of crossover offerings, while Toyota has the GR Corolla ...

You don’t count highway onramps, for example? That is one (relatively) common place to legally take advantage of the zero-lag acceleration

The Mazda RX-8 should have been a $65k car. Just the 9,000 RPM engine qualifies it as an exotic (so bargain exotic). This would have weeded out the Accord V6 coupe buyers. It’s a weekend car that should take 15 years to rack up enough miles for people to need an engine replacement. It is really stupid for people to…

It’s like a religion. God forbid you say something negative in their circles about rollover risk, handling, etc.

I ordered a 4S now, instead of waiting to see what the next gen might bring, in large part because I was afraid they might add that one-pedal bs.

This car has very little character.

I would like to add that this dream sedan should weigh 3,000 lbs max (If a new Miata is under 2500 lbs, a sedan can stay within 3k)

I have since learned that it’s a common problem with modern German cars — you have to be driving over 100 mph (I heard) to actually feel the handling prowess over other cars. At legal speeds, it felt numb. Not as numb as the S6 I test drove, which is maybe played a role in how I convinced myself to buy the 340.

The Taycan, at least when I had looked at the used market, fared better than the RS e-tron GT. 

This is my perspective — a used GTS is a used GTS. All the “I know what I got” extras do not add value.

The original owner must have gotten a Rizz Lending “deal” and his bank account has lost all rizz in the process?

That was me in a 340i that I bought new because #manual...

I bet you didn’t solicit advice for those cars though! :)

Same here. I had one for a rental. I was in a hurry and assumed it was an A4. I drove it for a bit and thought, “why is this car cheap-feeling and not feel like a German sedan?” Then I realized it was an A3. I had driven a 2009 and 2016 A4, both felt pretty solid and sporty.

Nissan Pathfinder, especially prior generation.
