I had the 3 months ALK trial and liked it. I found it better than Volvo Pilot Assist. Neither drive the car but are better than steering with your knees to put on sunnies. I haven’t (yet) coughed up for ANY FOD's. Thank you for your opinion, I am now more enclined to stick with just ACC.
I have both as a factory fitted option, just did from London to Fort William round trip and found them both really fantastic …. I agree not as good as perhaps the Tesla, but it made my 1200 mile round trip really easy
Thanks for the videos, really informative. I have been curious and on the fence about these features and what quality of life/driver feature really add. I'm also curious about the Intelligent Range Manager and Power Steering Plus, if you have had an experience with those? Mine doesn't have rear wheel steering, so I hear the Power Steering Plus is not worth it, but curious as she is a beast in the car park.
You're welcome. Never heard anyone complaining about the power steering. Yes, I do have RWS on this, it does help. You can see it in action here... th-cam.com/users/shortshRknirCeylU
I have both on, i consider it as an assist, not as a driver. Whereas innodrive i consider a driver tool "hey porsche, take over the breaking, speeding, limits, distance... i will do the steering. The innodrive is a must have for me.
@TABonTV At least in Germany Innodrive gives you always a save speed. I find it especially useful when driving roads that I dont know, or protecting me from speeding violations. Especialy great in combination with the adaptive distance control. The lane assist comes handy at higher speeds on the german Autobahn. Again, absolutely not a must have, but nice to have.
Really appreciate the clarification around LKA, ALK and Innodrive Tab. I was only ever interested in ALK but it’s permanent activation only now at £739 so based on your review I’ll skip it! I believe these driver aids are perfectly appropriate for a “driver’s car”. They simply make the car more interesting and capable. Both a B Road blaster and a luxury cruiser in one package👍
Have both features as well on my Taycan. They are really assistance systems not self driving systems. They are fantastic for long drives where it does the majority of the work with you doing the small final adjustments. Always meant to be a hands on wheel experience not hands off like Tesla. For hands off yes it is bad and not worth the money.
Active lane keeping, switched off in mine all the time - it’s a total PITA. I also subscribed to full Innodrive in my last 4S but for what ever reasons the car just refused to update and this went on for about 6 months. As a gesture of goodwill to reflect on the fact it took so long to install Porsche sent me a letter offering a meal for myself and my wife to the value of £500……. (We did have a lovely meal!). Wind on a further 3 months and at the end of the free trial I called it as day and I haven’t missed any features whatsoever. I use the ACC (which was on my car from factory) regularly but nothing else, as I mentioned in a previous comment, what’s the point of a system designed to do a job if you need to still hold the steering wheel!

@TABonTV ya, wish my came with RWS. Since it didn't, was thinking Power Steering Plus add on may help.

Do you think it does a good job of all those? I was less than impressed...

Yeah, a wise choice given what you've said

If you drive long journeys on the highway LKA is a good option i find 👍
Active Lane Keeping i ment

Within a week of picking my 4S up back in June 23 I unticked Lane Keep Assist and have kept it switched off ever since.
@@mogsyman quite a good gesture from them, I hope went somewhere fancy as £500 is a lot of KFC! 😆
@ I think we went to Greggs……
Actually we went to The Pass at South Lodge (near Horsham)…. Lovely 🥰
And yes, quite a gesture from Porsche!
I really wanted to get a used Taycan but it just seem like it will be too much of a headache
Should be better if all the recall work is done. They're going cheap!
LKA is something i never have on. turn it off immediately
I think the Driving Assisting Professional (from BMW) is much better....
That's true. BMW's iDrive software is far more sophisticated than Porsche PCM
My thoughts too with the ones I've tried
$210k USD 2020 turbo s is now 70k USD. 😂
