To answer a couple of the questions... yes, it is a 4S. Badge deleted as I think it looks better and I really don't like the "electric" badges that you get on the side. Colour is Gentian blue.

And the space in the back - it has had some people in the back already who have been very happy with the space. One of my son's friends this morning said it was good with no issues. He must be around 6ft tall.

The boot is fine, although not very deep at the back end. We had a slight issue last night that was sorted by re-arranging the contents, but if you need to get 2 trombones and a saxophone in there, put the bigger ends in first! What amazing advice you get on this forum :)

I reckon the sedan models look better than the Cross Turismo. In the Gts there is the Sports Turismo which is nicer than the CT and more practical than the sedan but I still maybe think the sleekness of the sedan wins for me.

Think I’d plump for a white Taycan saloon, with ‘Mission E’ wheels! :)

Really like it. Mate has one and said he'd never get an ICE Porsche again, and he's had a long list of 911s, Panameras, Boxters, Caymans, and a Macan. They're BIG cars though!

Love them in white but they are so big that it would be nightmare to satisfy my car cleaning OCD.

I didn't buy a pale colour because after driving the demonstrator home (about 25 minutes) the front was so obviously covered in bug splats that it looked a mess. So it had to be a darker colour!
