2010 Porsche Panamera Turbo 4dr Sedan AWD (4.8L 8cyl Turbo 7AM)

I hope I am not writing this review too soon, picked up the car last week. Traded in a Audi A8L for this beast. Performs well on the road. Difficult to maintain the speed limit. The Panamera style and performance has lived up to expectation. Interior styling compared to BMW and MB in my opinion beats both. The center console is a bit much, to many buttons and controls. The Sport Chrono package significantly improves the performance at high speeds. Porsche should build in a standard radar system or allow an option for one. Missing the GPS support such as GM On star or MB embrace. Paid 154k with lo-jack and tire/rim protection. The car get plenty of attention on the road. Happy @ 125 MPH!
Absolutely phenomenal sports car!

I had the highest expectations for this Porsche, the 8th one I've been blessed to own in my lifetime, and it exceeded every one of them! This car is spectacular in every sense. Superb styling, in and out, despite what the car mags say, performance that rivals cars half it's size (including my Aston Martin Vantage), incredible technology and sheer driving bliss! The performance/ride settings can satisfy any and all desires. It can be a supple cruiser or a beastly racer, and it weighs over two tons! Are you kidding me?? And the controls are superbly designed and executed. I am having an inappropriate relationship with this car!!

Great looks, poor reliability

My initial attraction to the Porsche Panamera was its unique styling and rareness on the road. After less than a year of ownership, I had buyer's remorse. The transmission switching gears is prominent both in acceleration and braking. In comparison, the Mercedes-Benz and BMWs I've owned in the past have been silky smooth. Like both Volkswagens I owned during my youth, this car has electronic gremlins. Upon starting the vehicle, the climate control changes its settings at will about once a month. Every three months or so, the radio will not work until you turn the car off and start it again. As of 2017, my car only has 25,000 miles, yet things are breaking left and right. The horn stopped working after four years. The trim on the driver's window switch broke off. The passenger window switch is cracked. On a positive note, the car is roomy inside.

Best Luxury Vehicle I have ever owed. Superior transmission and suspension. 4s better for New England. I’ve owned every major luxury brand; Porsche supersedes them all with performance and luxury being unparalleled.

Phenomenal 2011 Panamera 4 Sport Sedan

Just sitting in this car raises the hair on one's arms with it's dazzling interior! When you start the engine, the cockpit envelopes you and your passengers into a quiet and subtle road handling experience. Having owned other well known luxury sedans, sports cars, SUVs and researched even more models, nothing comes close to this hill-grabbing, incredible corner- taking, quick-stopping, fuel-sipping and heart- stopping chariot. My second Porsche, the Panamera 4, maybe the last vehicle I ever need to buy.
