2018 Porsche Panamera 4 Executive 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8AM)
5 of 5 people found this review helpful
2018 Panamera executive with front/rear massage seats, all seats heated/vented. Rear seat console to handle audio, climate, destination etc. Spacious enough to carry a Dualtron X with seats down. Compare to previous generation Panamera it is comfort and luxury. I drove last generation and felt like a 4 person Cayman. Huge car, they call it the big boss at the dealer. My family is growing, I have to upgrade to SUV. I just sold it back to my dealer but grateful to have the opportunity to enjoy this vehicle for nearly 4 years.

AWD 4S is a race car with a "stealthy" look

Smooth sure-footed luxury until you floor it. Twin turbo V6 has 440hp and 4.3 second speed. Pushes you back and roars like the beast it really is. Best car ever. Does it all and has BIG hatchback room. Mustangs sound tough but don't stand a chance against THIS!
Everything I Wanted (and expected) Plus More!

While I have only had the car a few weeks, it is everything I expected. Luxurious and refined when desired or a "beast" when you want performance. (Just choose regular, sport, sport plus or custom driving mode.) The car grips the road, including corners, like no sedan I have ever driven. The seats are ultra-comfortable, front and rear. My ratings on reliability and value are only four stars because it is too early to know. Overall I am very pleased with zero regrets. Don't waste another moment spoil yourself today.

I owned a 2011 Panamera 4 and the vehicle turned heads, sometime for the right reasons, or for all the wrong reasons. Either you loved the design or hated the shape/lines of old Panamera. The engineer got it right this time around....the car is gorgeous. Everywhere I go, I’m approached regarding the new design and people love it. The interior of the new Panamera is just as exciting as the exterior. The interior is very comfortable, well appointed, and hi-tech. Multiple buttons on both sides of console are gone. Very well designed interior and user friendly. I love everything about this vehicle, and wouldn’t change a thing. Job Well Done Porsche engineers!!!
The 4S is marred by a lousy engine

2017 Porsche Panamera 4S 4dr Sedan AWD (2.9L 6cyl Turbo 8AM)

Just replaced my 2017 Panamera 4S for a Panamera turbo. The 2017 and later 4S engine is definitely a disappointment compared to the naturally aspirated V8 of the 2010-2013 model. It is a tiny 2.9 L V6 with twin turbos and has a horrible engine sound and feels very weak until the turbos kick in. It does perform when revved hard but lacks instant throttle response. It let down the whole experience of driving what would otherwise be a good car. The worst aspect is that it is not any more economical than the old V8 and in my experience is a lot thirstier.DONT be fooled by the mpg figures quoted on the sticker. It does NOTHING alike the 21-28mpg quoted. I almost never got over 13 mpg in urban driving and rarely more than 20 mpg on the highway. IN fact many times I got 10 mpg. The problem is that to get any performance from the car you have to rev the engine so hard that the mpg becomes lousy. The small V6 twin turbo is designed to provide great numbers on the govt tests but NOT under normal driving ( remember the VW diesel scandal anyone?- this is similar from the same company!). What a difference the Panamera Turbo model. IT is a 4 L V8 and in a differnt league in terms of engine sound and responsiveness.PLus it gives much better mileage than the 4Sengine despite being more powerful. DO yourself a favor and DONT buy the 4S. You will be throwing a lot of money on a crap engine - not what you want from a Porsche
