Life is too short not to drive an awesome car

I've owned this car for a week now and it has surpassed my expectations. I was a bit torn on the design but everyday I grow more fond of the looks. I tell you, it looks fantastic in your garage. Handling is amazing, power is abundant and the interior is as classy as it gets. My wife has had several people come up to her and compliment the car. The Porsche dealer was great and the whole Porsche experience has been worth waiting for for my 40 years.

Panamera 4S is a lemon!

Wow, don't buy one of these unless you want to shell out $3,000 a year in unscheduled engine repairs. I just had to pay for my third such repair, on a defective valve cover solenoid. Before that, it was a complete replacement of all the ignition coils; replacement of all practically new spark plugs; and a whole bunch of additional repairs for other engine and non-engine components. I'll never buy a Porsche again! And I'll be getting rid of this one at the earliest opportunity.

Best Car for the Year 2010

The Panamera has the Porsche heart and soul and is very responsive. I was not sure on my move from multiple 7Series BMWs for the past 25 years, but the move is fun. The car has many excellent features specially the interior design and the equipment placement. The PCM has many aspects and it is very responsive to the driver demands.

Great rebound

I traded a relatively new BMW for this Porsche panamera. The BMW was showing the usual leaks and issues, before, even 50,000 miles. This panamera became available for trade. Certainly not a 911, But a very nice performer. Surprisingly so. With the V8 and PDK, it can hold its own for being sporty, while being extremely comfortable. No regrets until I get my 911
