Hi,
I have been tossing up between a Porsche Boxster and Alfa conversion, but am now thinking of converting a car I actually want to own and drive (nothing wrong with a sports car, but I am getting older and leaning towards comfort over sportiness).
So an early model Porsche Cayenne has me thinking.
Issues I can think of are
1. Limited Range due to weight.
I dont need much range as just to the golf club and back - but would really like 100kms if possible as is 80kms to my little beach house. Would a Leaf pack get me 100kms ?
2. Cayenne is Auto only.
Not sure what to do here
3. Enoiugh power to move the Cayenne at a reasonable clip.
Can't go over 100kmh - too many speed cameras. Just need enough to keep up with traffic. For the Alfa/Boxster was set on HPEV AC51, but would this be too small for heavy Cayenne ?
Problem is that I really shouldn't spend too much - maybe $30k limit, as otherwise i am going to run into all off the new EV's coming out from the big manufacturers such as Volvo over then next 2-5 years.
Any advice (either +Ve or -Ve ) appreciated.
Cheers
