Both Car 🚘 outstanding man

[@NotPoodle]

Plaid, obviously.

[@magnetoone2995]

Taycan indeed 😋

[@Kay_Emm_]

If I had the money, I’d go for the Taycan, but I don’t think anyone really needs the extra ‘Porsche-ness’ (ie. the slight bit of extra power and handling)

[@Ren_1106]

Porsche Taycan.

[@kaybe3044]

“If you are in the position to choose between these cars, you’re winning” - Rory. Beautiful quote.

[@user-sk8zq3fj1x]

"Baby poo Green" 🤣 that's spot on Rory

[@kamallb4650]

Honestly. That colour looks bad.

[@ftr911drvr]

Yeah I don't get Audi has the Sonoma green, Kyalami green and a dark green not sure why they chose that color it looks bad

[@UtopiaYA]

So Rory likes the colour of baby poo. Bit odd

[@stevewarui92]

Baby’s first poo. That phrase has been used for years with colours like this. Clarkson used it absolutely decades ago. True though !

Rory, dont stop reviewing. Dont ever stop 😆😎

[@simulatedreality4865]

[@Leoboxs]

Hmm... at the start he calls the audi a 'Taycan' and as he's looking at the porsche he says 'Look at the familiar taycan headlights' where we know he means porsche headlights.

Thank you Autotrader for providing Rory with the resources and platform to really excel at motoring journalism. The reviews are on another level to the others.

Rory, it's clear you feel comfortable and confident behind the camera and it really shows. Amazing work!

[@USUG0]

Taycan all the way. Interestingly, I have never been interested in Porsches before. Beside, not being able to afford one!

Only thing about the Taycan I don't like is the touchscreens. Buttons all the way.

I must say you did a massive comparison that is up2date even today. Solid arguments for both cars described as most of recipients were expecting. You've nailed it down. No one is even close to such a precise content on those two e-cars.

[@cornbread70s4]

Great review. Love this guy’s personality and professionalism. Happy subscriber here!

[@UTSONUT]

amazing review! thanks for this and all the beautiful videos you make! by far the best channel ever!

Audi RS E-tron GT just edges it for me but can’t go wrong either 👌

[@Polletross]

Dude y’all killing it. So glad Rory has such a great spot on the internet! I enjoyed him in the newer “top gears” episodes but this is much easier digestible as an auto enthusiast.

[@guillaumegermain7438]

This video was really well put together. I think I was going towards the E-Tron GT but after watching this I can't wait to try out the Taycan. Again, thank you so much for the amazing review of both cars.

[@kilove1]

Always entertaining and informative..great film I enjoyed every minute of it..👏👏👏

[@TheCarKrazeOfficial]

Both look great 😍

[@jak493]

Love your reviews Rory, you deserve your recognition. I would actually prefer the Tasycan Cross (hope they do a sport turismo). I suspect the Porsche might retain its value better on resale meaning you aren't any worse off overall - just a hunch

[@ps3dubbs]

Another great and entertaining review. Will never be able to purchase these cars but the entertainment value of watching, and forgive me for saying this but Old Top Gear’esque edited video and a great presenter who draws you in makes easy viewing! Rory keep smashing it pal!

[@sparkyUK]

I'm currently picking between these two, so this detailed review has been really helpful, thank you!

[@ymyone]

So which one did you choose?

[@sparkyUK]

@@ymyone After many hours in both, I picked the eTron GT. I liked the styling a little more, handling was very close, same performance, but the cockpit and dashboard I preferred in the Audi. I also didn't like how with Porsche I can't just move an air vent, I have to control it via the touchscreen. Not ideal when driving and you're having to take your eyes off the road. Haven't regretted my choice. Wouldn't go back to ICE now!

[@paulbedder889]

Rory, well done video, clear, concise, and honest appraisal of both extraordinary machines! I’d pick the Taycan, but love my Porsche.

Gotta love the in-house competition! Brings out the best in all brands involved.

[@chughenatorn]

1. The sound is a legal requirement. Outside vs inside and the type of noise selected are the differences. 2. The frunk release is on the door side (read the manual) 3. Ride height can be adjusted on both the cars. 4. Spec to spec porsche is more money.

Great review!

[@sutekking]

I have owned my taycan turbo for 6 months. Having owned ferrari 599, Porsche turbo, amg gts and many others, this car is addictive. It is the best. Your criticism about fake duct: not true. If is an actual duct. Just wash it once. The air con is great. You set it once and forget. The gear lever is a non event and works just fine. Driving it is just v fantastic. Like an S class and 911 merged into one. Best car I've ever owned.

[@albertnajdi5794]

I have also owned ferrari 488, audi r8, turbo s 911, gtr, cls 63 and many others and i share you the taycan turbo is by far the best, i understand exactly what you mean

[@richardchester2148]

Great video, absolutely love the GT. Test drove the 'entry level' GT Vorsprung, astonishing car even in non-RS guise. The frunk button is on the drivers door when the door is open. Looks like Audi may need to work on ride height though as you had a bit of the verge travelling along with you at 9:35 ;) Keep up the great work!

[@richmondvand147]

yeah honestly watching old TG going through cities where they DIY diffuser removals lol most of these cars need a "practical ride height" button

[@alexdag692]

The e-Tron Front Trunk lever is in the passenger side (doesn't change for uk cars )

[@stefanmolnar4345]

Great review just to mention, Uk prices are so different than in EU, i mean basically a fully loaded adui e tron gt rs is about 175000 € but the taycan turbo is 200000 €, so in my country actually the audi is a reasenable choice.

[@markbrisec3972]

Nobody forced you out of the EU.. You could have saved 30 grand next week when you were planning to get the Taycan. All it took was voting "stay" on that crucial day.. LOL...

[@raychang8648]

Ecan vs Taytron. That gave me a good smile. Great video. I always love the details.

Great great comparison you made here but it would have been more enjoyable if you made some sort of animation table to see your opinion side by side.

[@Cyapow]

I love both the taycan and the e-tron but they're so pricey brand new makes it impossible for the average joe. Have to either wait far few years for EVs to come down in price or pick up a second hand... through auto trader 😉

[@anthonybrand6137]

Many thanks Rory for another interesting, no nonsense review/comparison. Your videos are always so informative and presented in an easy going style. For me, I'd go for the Porsche, but I do like the colour of the Audi.....so cool!! However. I'll need to start saving (somehow) as both are very expensive. Keep up the great work!!

[@junzon]

Glad to see Rory doing reviews for ya😃

[@SherG2774]

Great analysis👏🏾 It is a tough choice though…Audi is cheaper, is more attractive, has better cockpit functionality yet less storage space and a hum whereas the Taycan delivers premium performance, still looks classical and has more space…I’d love to test drive them both😃👏🏾
