Used 2016 Porsche Panamera Edition 4dr Sedan (3.6L 6cyl 7AM) Consumer Reviews
Beauty and beast
I have owned Porsches for 35 years. I found that I needed something with back seats, because it seems odd to invite clients out for dinner and make them drive. I didn't want to give up the performance and handling I've come to know and love. I actually like the first generation Panameras more than the 2017+ models, because I think removing the "humpback" made the car less distinctive and I don't like the touchscreen in the new version. I ended up buying the nicest, newest, lowest mileage 1st gen model I could find. Yes, I got the 2WD 6-cylinder. I like 2WD better than AWD because I like pushing the back end out from time to time. And while the 6-cylinder is not a barn burner, it still handles great. I recently did the Tail of the Dragon with 45 other Porsches and, while it's a big car, it held its own in the curves. This car is the best of all worlds. It's my daily commuter and is reasonably efficient. It makes passengers very happy with 4 zone climate controls (including cooled seats in the back). It lets you act like a kid when you want to. I will have this car for a long time. Or until I can no longer stand not having a Taycan.

One recall per month
I have dreamed of owning a Porsche since before I could drive. We found a certified pre-owned Panamera that appeared to be in pristine condition and fit our budget. We took the leap and have nearly had a recall a month since owning it, the most recent notice ironically arriving while the car was at the dealership for the previous recall. It’s become a bit of a joke in the neighborhood as it’s quite obvious when I don’t have my car and doesn’t do well for the brand (“another recall?!?”). Our dealership is an hour away and rarely has loaners to offer so service is either delayed, I am without a vehicle, or waiting for service. I was encouraged to call corporate with my experience and was completely dismissed. Sadly, reality has not met the dream and we will never purchase another Porsche.
