Re: Luxury Car Tax
Does the is apply to electric as well? Because if so, there’s an awful lot of bang average cars that are going to fall within the definition of “luxury”

Re: EU Regulators Tell Manufacturers to Dial back use of Haptic screens
They have said that the increased use of screens for control of the vehicle, is basically getting out of hand. And is distracting and dangerous, while driving. If they want to get and keep the top NCap rating, they must get back to the old way of controlling functions. Starting from Jan 2026, Indic...

Re: What will they think of next?
Browsing around and noticed on the Taycan config, a new PTS Plus at a mere £17200. Comes to mind the old saying ‘A fool and their money is easily parted’ Saw that also. I thought maybe Porsche were having an internal competition to see if there is anyone out there mad enough to go for it. As if 50%...

Re: What a tool.............. (new vehicle, as requested)
The sport- tourism is stunning and I wish you many happy miles. My business partner, a fellow petrolhead, has just swapped his BMW M4 for an £80k I5 M Sport. Contract hire is £700 pm including maintenance. Put through the business, his car tax is around £40 a month. The incentive to move to EV, part...

Re: Porsche inflation (sometimes best not to look)
I think the days of people buying cars on HP or for cash and getting full ownership are pretty much gone. Most people are on a PCP type deal with an optional balloon that they’ll never exercise and so all that really matters is deposit size and monthly repayments. So the fact that a car as utterly s...

Re: Soddin’ SatNav.
Had to drive from Milton Keynes to London yesterday, a journey I have done many times. However with the new 14 mile roadworks on the M1 that journey has now become a potential nightmare. Using waze I discovered a scenic route that was mainly traffic free, meandering through God knows where but avoid...

Re: Car Insurance ( Again)
My Cayenne was £1100 last year (an increase of around 50% if I recall). Just tried to get a quote on Confused.com out of interest and the cheapest came out at £2k with £925 excess! I can get a £400 reduction if I have a black box! Coincidentally my current insurer came out the cheapest. Dreading ren...

Re: Macan ICE expiry
Let’s see who can attack the motorist most, and what devisive mechanisms can we use. Haven’t Paris just voted to charge SUV,s parking there, 4 times the cost of a normal vehicle. If the lefties get their way, and vehicles are totally eradicated from the roads. Should they not stop to think where th...

Re: Sat Nav
Just use Waze or Google. Beats the installed sat nav hands-down Have you decided that by comparing them "side by side"? I nearly always look at Google before I set off, to decide when to leave, then use the car Sat Nav, nearly always different but I've never been able to decide a winner. ...

Re: Journey so far…….
I was disappointed that I had to go bigger from my Macan GTS, so the Cayenne GTS was the only option. Absolutely love it, but the GT is different gravy, stunning car. I’m surprised you downsized back to a Macan, especially with teenagers, which is why I had to go bigger. They loved the Macan from th...
