What owners say
Gemera
Overall
Extremely positive sentiment, characterized by widespread admiration for its groundbreaking engineering, immense power, and unique positioning as a high-performance four-seater. The vehicle is consistently described as an "incredible piece of engineering," "sick," and a "dream car."

Taycan
Overall
Mixed sentiment with a clear divide between driving experience and ownership reliability. The vehicle is universally praised for its exceptional driving dynamics, handling, and performance, described as "the best road-legal e-car thus far," "elegant and great fun to drive," and a "very good sports car." Owners highlight its rock-stable high-speed stability, insanely good road grip, and the significant benefit of its two-speed gearbox. The instant torque and direct, responsive EV driving experience are frequently cited as major positives, with some stating it has "ruined me for gas." However, this is heavily counterbalanced by very frequent and severe criticisms regarding reliability, software, and service.
Best version to buy
Insufficient owner data available to declare a consensus "best" version. Discussions mention various trims (4S, GTS, Turbo, Turbo S, Turbo GT) with different performance levels.
Known issues
- ⚠Major reliability and component failures: including transmission replacement, rear differential replacement, heater replacement, and high-voltage battery replacement (with a cited out-of-warranty cost of approximately $52,000).
- ⚠Software and infotainment bugs: system freezes, slow response, navigation failures, profile memory issues, charge planner glitches, Android Auto/CarPlay connectivity problems, and lack of software updates for older model years.
- ⚠Poor software support and updates: manufacturer does not update older model years to newer software versions, leaving navigation systems broken for extended periods (e.g., 8 months in Europe for 2020-2024 models). Frequency: very frequent.
