2012 Porsche Panamera 4dr Sedan (3.6L 6cyl 7AM)

Really great car, shockingly so. It's a very comfortable 4 door sedan, decent headroom, comfortable, usable seats, both front and rear, smooth and quiet ride, nice interior. At the same time, it has absolutely unreal, incredible sports car handling. The only car I've ever driven that handled the road as well as the Panamera was a 360 Modena. But that was a very noisy 2 seater, you could feel every bump on the road, difficult to get in an out of, etc. Amazing, they basically took a Ferrari and made it pleasant to drive, with virtually no degradation in performance.

Be prepared to spend money, the initial price is high, any maintenance is costly and good tires don't come cheaply. On the other hand, driving it is a blast, even after 10 years of ownership I look forward to driving it. Of the 4 previous Porsche' I've owned, this one has met all my criteria. The previous Porsche' included 994, 911 Cab, 911 Targa, and 993 wide body....each had its unique features and was enjoyable, but the Pany incorporates all of the enjoyments of the previous cars sans the ability to lower the roof. It's quick, agile, comfortable and different in appearance from all the other cars on the road, still gets thumbs up signals. After 10 years of ownership, several new car issues, I still enjoy it immensely. There were claims that the aluminum block had bore scoring wear issues so I have been diligently having oil analysis done with each change and found the wear characteristics are excellent. One important thing I did was research Porsche's choice of oil. The recommended oil ( Mobil1 0W40 ) has a special additive wear-blend that isn't found in so-called equivalent oils. I stick with Porsche's up front recommendation, period.

First Porsche. Overall this car is an exciting car to drive. The interior is reminicent of a jet cockpit. There are many "hard buttons" to access features which may seem daunting at first. However, everything is logically placed and easily learned, and makes feature selection much easier than drilling down through computer menus. I have a mixed review on performance. Once the car is rolling, it is superb. However, there is a big catch in my opinion. When pulling away from a standing stop there is a sort of stall/lunge sequence that almost throws you forward then back in the seat. My dealer tells me this is a known issue and likely not resolvable. If so, this is a deal killer.

First Porsche. Considered and drove several times the following: E350/550, BMW535/550, Jaguar XF, Infinity 37/56, Audi A6. By far the most fun to drive was the Panamera. A bit more expensive than most on the list but the most unique on the road. The competition is common on the road. It is fun to get the looks and the thumbs up from many. The V6 has ample power compared to the V8. Been getting over 23 mpg on combined city/highway with average speeds of around 45 mph. This car is a bit sluggish right off the start but it really picks up once you hit 35 mph. Getting from there to 60-80 is a breeze.

This is my fourth Porsche vehicle: Boxster, Carrera, Cayenne, and now this. All Porsche, yet all different. The car is deeply impressive and engaging. It compares favorably against cars costing twice as much, or more. Handling, cockpit features, design, power, etc. -- all top-notch. I think the Panamera is now the one to beat in the 4 door sports luxury category. Most people would be concerned that the V6 would be less-than-powerful. I drove both this and the S model, and came away preferring the V6 -- lighter, more nimble, and the engine was more responsive than the heavy V8. The looks have been criticized, but I don't see the problem -- the car looks drop-dead gorgeous to me!
Awesome!

"There is no substitute" What an experience! This car is a dream. I have test driven just about everything out there in this class. From Maserati to Jaguar to BMW. The Panamera has them all beat! Luxury, power, comfort, looks. Amazing experience. I look forward to the ride in to work and going home. A real attention getter.
Test drive sold the car!

So I looked at everything from Cadillac, Maserati, Aston Martin, BMW M5 & M6, MB CLS 63 AMG. I drive a lot and I like to be able to take people out and throw the "just have to buy it" items at Costco in my car without having to run home for my truck. I wanted something dependable, sporty, comfortable, packed with luxury, with some power, and unique. I found everything I was looking for in the Panamera. It is perfect as one reviewer wrote. It is not the fastest this is true but I'm not a racer. It is just a great car to drive

I picked up my Panamera on a sunny late afternoon in Carlsbad CA and took off home as the sun set over the Pacific and wow, this car will capture your heart quickly ! The interior is sumptuous ...my car has the black leather with the anthracite birch wood and it is unreal ! Accelerating to pass, the Panamera is awesome as it tracks flawlessly and you will not believe the acceleration. Pull in to gas up and every car fan can't wait to see the vehicle ! I traded in a Bentley Flying Spur and never looked back...if you are considering the Panamera please know you won't be disappointed!!
Among the best! If you don't like the design - see it in person!

Got my brand new Panamera a week ago for my birthday! Traded in 2011 Z4 Sdrive3.5i. Have to say that: Panamera handles and takes turns WAY better that a roadster that was intended to do that better by definition. The car is very adequately powered, feels incredibly light for it's size and the interior is a killer! You get the feeling of getting into a jet cabin the second you step into it and that feeling never leaves you through the whole ride! It's not too soft (especially on 20" turbo wheels), yet road bumps do not bother you whatsoever. Very luxurious and unique. Test drive it and you will stop looking...

Eight months in and the turbo Panamera continues to delight. Thus far no problems to report. Car fires up with the usual Porsche exhaust rush and with the sport button pressed the throttle and transmission are poised for fun driving. Sport plus is held in reserve for those special occasions when there is a worthy vehicle to offer a challenge. Still could use a stronger exhaust note to round out the sensory thrill of G forces on your back. The ultimate four seat luxury sports car that will out run all but a few mega priced cars.

just delivered and absolutely the best car I have ever owned. Will update later. Past cars were many but mostly bmws with a couple of mbs and an infinity and quite a while ago some lexus's. The MB's transmission awful and will not ever buy another. last car was a bmw 335 coupe a truly great car. The panamera beats its performance and balance and is much more lush and sophisticated albeit much more expensive.

After looking at the 7, A8, S550 and XJ, the Panamera 4 was the clear winner. Not only does it drive like my '09 911 4S, it has Sport and Sport Plus options to remap the engine and suspension. Pictures do not do this car justice, as the subtle curves that are Porsche design elements just do not show. The interior is outstanding, clearly the best of all the cars in this class. The cockpit feel and the multiple adjustment seats with ventilation are outstanding. This car just feels great. This is truly a Sports Sedan

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!!

Regular Panamera 4, fully optioned minus sport exhaust. Car is just fun to drive, incredible for road trips. Still get comments from strangers in 2020. Yeah, Turbo would be nice, however the base models are still very engaging. Quality is top notch. Been very reliable for me over the years.

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.

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.

Only 3 weeks, but this is easily the best car I have owned. Unbelievable power, handling, and comfort. And great fun to drive. I have the 4S with entry and drive, sport chrono pkg, heated front and rear, front and rear A/C, plus all the standard features. Notable features are interior design, quality and control of nav/sound system (Bose), and huge convenience. More fun to drive than BMW, and electronics to match Lexus. Have been pushing the limits and still getting 22-24mpg!

So took possession of my Panamera in March of '10. Strange noise from the car engine right after delivery. The master tech @ Porsche stated nothing was wrong. After I kept insisting something was wrong, the North Amer Porsche tech looked at it. Needs a new transmission! This passed Friday, the engine failed. Brought it in and the Porsche dealer stated they could look at it in a couple of weeks. I have owned 7 Series BMW's since '96. Never had service with an attitude like this in all my years with BMW. So the car looks great, drives extremely well, but I am seriously concerned about the engineering. Did they push this model out to quickly? Did they train the techs to service it?

I absolutely am infatuated with this car. I believe its only the second best sedan because my wife has the Mercedes Benz CLS 63 AMG. Though I believe that the CLS is slightly better, this car is a close competitor. The Panamera is slightly less luxurious and ever less sporty, but given that we needed a second sedan, we didn't want two of the same car. The Panamera is great for road trips and trips to the supermarket. The CLS is made for the night in the town or for weekends. Both are fantastic cars, and I'd recommend them both. We have put around 5,000 miles on the Porsche so far. Both the MB and the Porsche have breathtaking performance. Both cars were around the same price ($145,000).
The BEST all round vehicle

This vehicle is for the typical daily Sunday driving, (relaxed, cruising) as well as the driver that is hitting the pedal to the metal every chance possible. The Panamera has multiple settings, for the mood of driving. The standard is very laxed such as a 7 series BMW and the 2 levels of sport and Sport plus will pin you to the end of your seat. The interior is very impressive as much as the exterior in my opinion. I feel very in control. The seats contour your back and all buttons are there in direct reach for the driver. The Panamera is fun and in my eyes one of the best looking cars on the road. I have had about every high end vehicle or at least driven them all and this by far is best.

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.

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.

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.

Having lots of cars over the year, I appretiate the Panamera Turbo. It has the power of my Turbo Carerra and Aston, and the smoothness and comfort of my BMW 7series. My wife love it- not intimidating, but a sleeper that the whole family can fit in with equal room front and back and lots for shopping bags. She feels that it handles like her Boxster, but a much larger car is it. I still love the sound of my vanquish s, but the Panamera Turbo gets all the looks too. They just know what it is. Truly, a world class drive. Would never think of a Ferrari 612- why?
Simply the fastest four door sedan in the world.

What a fantastic and practical car. I have now done 5000 miles in it and have experienced no problems. I do not know how it is possible to get this fantastic performance out of the same engine that also gives me 29 miles per gallon on the open road at 80 mph. The car is very practical as well and serves my requirements for a sports car, family car as well as station wagon.

This is my fifth Porsche and unless they can top the Panamera, it's the best. It has a Jekyll and Hyde personality that's available on demand. It cossets the passengers when treated casually and exposes its heritage when demanded. A design job well done.

This car has the nicest interior of any I have been in. You feel like you are wrapped in luxury. I would live in it if I could. I especially like the Yachting interior. It has alternating multicolored words in the console. Very nice is an understatement. Lots of buttons and a touch screen navigation. The power is also more than adequate on the S version.

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

The early reviews that ridiculed the Panamera external styling were way off base. Granted, there are some color combinations that would be less than flattering but that doesn't condemn the whole line. I've had at least twenty strangers approach me to compliment the looks of the car (dark blue ext. natural tones interior). More importantly, the performance is mind boggling. Comfort features are extremely refined. Multiple driving modes change the car's performance personality at the touch of a button. All and all close to perfect.

The car is terrific. I got a 4s (yachting blue) after a long wait. The styling is controversial but the car is stunning - stunning - in the metal. Have had multiple people stop to ask about it - see for yourself. Interior is fantastic and the car drives unbelievably. I have had a 911 6-speed and I like cars but I found it was too small, especially for a family as well as feeling unsafe around ubiquitous giant suvs. It really feels like you're driving a Porsche in a way that a Cayenne never would. As well, the hatchback is super convenient. In a purist's world Porsche would only make 911's but in the real world of being a father/family man who also wants a great car, this is beyond compare!

Just purchased this car after months of research, test drives and deliberation. This car is absolutely phenomenal! It has all of the basic Porsche characteristics that every fan loves, but with heavy dose of luxury, quiet and comfort. When the car is is Sport Plus mode, the engine literally growls-- displaying plenty of torque. The styling is unique and was probably the biggest hurdle for me, personally. However, once you drive the car, you can't wipe the smile off your face. It's just that good!

We've been through many luxury cars, Lexus GS350, Mercedes CLK 430, CLK500, BMW 335I, BMW 535i, Audi A6 and to our opinion, none of those drive like our new Panamera 4. They are either too soft or too hard and none of them beats the comfort and the handling of the Porsche. We only have a few hundreds miles on the car but we can feel that the build quality is way better. The seat comfort, audio system and ride are first class. With the V6 at 5.8 secs from 0-60mph, it's not the fastest car but it's adequate for passing. We will update after a few thousands miles.
Wow, No disappointment here!

We purchased a 2011 Panamera 4, after looking at a Cayenne. There is no comparison, this vehicle is a home run. The vehicle is White with Beige interior, and you can't take your eyes off of it. You will turn heads on the highway, and it performs like a Porsche. Once inside, you know that this vehicle is a luxury sport car.

Simply nothing in its class. I have spend 6 months researching/driving all potential competitors and not one can claim to have all the attributes of the Panamera together at once. Interior is just superb. Although exterior styling is controversial it is truly unique and classy. Performance is sublime, just in case you were wondering.
This car is excellent!

This is an excellent car, period. The sheer volume of technology in this vehicle is astounding, its performance is superb and its styling is elegant and timeless. This is my ninth Porsche and, by far, the best I have owned over the past two decades. I was initially a little skeptical about buying a four seat Porsche despite my longstanding experience that anything Porsche either designs or builds is usually excellent. And, but for a five minute test drive two weeks before my car came in last November, I had not spent a lot of time in the vehicle. However, when I took delivery of the car I was immediately impressed by its pick-up and handling. Fast and beautiful, Porsche does it again.
Best Car Ever

I finished 500 miles on the new Panamera. After BMW 750 and MB. I was surprised with performance and comfort of this car. It is without any doubt, the most fun car to drive I ever had. It is surprisingly very comfortable, roomy and powerful. Unmatchable experience.
Great car!

Parking position jumped to reverse, couldn't believe it. I managed to stop the car in the last second. Very big safety problem.
Very proud to own it

My 2010 Panamera 4S has been great. I bought it 3 years ago with 24K miles. It's beautiful, rides great and I love it. It's got 40k miles on it. I put Hawk brake pads on it, PDK service, flush the brakes and it is fast and very reliable. I think some people don't have good luck with cars or just or never happy. I'm not one!
Super performance

I own a Turbo and the performance numbers provided by Porsche are very conservative. This car goes 0-60 in 3.3- 4 and I tell you one forgets that it has 4 seats! It truly changes the game in the super sedan category. What a car!
