Now reliability is becoming an issue. Rear passenger carpet buckling for no reason. Computer system completely crashed while driving to work causing total blackout of PCM and shift lights. Second key fob has been replaced once already with this one failing as well. Drink holder rubber falling off after one use of a small VOSS water bottle. There is also a known issue with window tint on the Panamera for a few years now. (Since I've never liked the prior I never paid too much attention.) Apparently the inner window guides scratch the tint. Front doors only really on my car. Mine isn't bad but I have a perfectly etched line on both of my front windows tint now. There are no proven fixes, either live with it or don't tint. Some people have horrible multi-scratches on their tint making it look awful. So Porsche hooked my car up to their computer and found a fault but have to report to headquarters in Germany for what to do. Hmmmmm $185k for a car I drive to work and all this?? Not too happy. It is a 2018 model as well.

Owned the car for about 10 months and the car was in the shop at dealer for total of 7 months in and out. Yes, I literally drove the car myself about 3 months. There is a true quality issue with this car or perhaps its a Porsche thing. Many fan boys over look all the issue they encounter or they ignore them thinking Porsche is Apple. Arrogant Dealership didn't help. Car was a Lemon and I had to push Porsche to buy back. PCM goes out all the time, car rattled interior and exterior, Chrono clock alwyas stopped working, engine light galore, subwoofer kept going in and out and other issues. Porsche is trying to be too big too fast, until they get their quality under control, they need to go back to basics. I have owned Mercedes, BMW, Land Rover, etc. This by far was the most troubled vehicle. I guess this can be considered a VW Passat with a $140k body kit. Porsche customer care is a joke.

I love this car. Previously had a 2019 Macan 4S (which is an awesome little car) but needed something bigger for all my highway travel. Before that a 2007 MB 550SL (loved it). Bought this one as a lease turn-in with 6400 miles on it. No issues. Ever. Had it for almost 3 years now and nothing but routine service. This is an awesome daily driver with the cajones to impress. More than I need but whatever? My experience? I would recommend the Panamera 4S to anyone.

The 2017 Panamera Turbo is exceptional on all fronts. It is such an amazing improvement on the old model in every way. The drive, fit, finish and updated electronics are all outstanding. This car is by far the best car in its class and we have driven all of them.

Living around a large lake in SW Virginia, I love driving the twisty roads around the lake, using the paddle shifting to downshift into curves and then upshift on straight aways. I've always had manual shift cars and don't miss that too much. My first long road trip was returning from Little Compton, RI to SW Virginia in 13 hours, straight, with 2 stops, 760 miles. I wasn't even tiried when I got home, having driven the entire way. The seats are so comfortable! Several months ago I drove from the Greenbrier, WV down route 311 to Roanoke, VA with 79 hairpin curves. What a kick! Just touched the brakes, using mostly the paddle shifting. The continual plus is that this car is a head turner. At least twice a month a stranger will come up to me and tell me how great my car looks. In addition, I love the throaty sound the pipes make when accelerating. This is a wonderful car that is a delight to drive!
