This car is brilliant! Providing the bridge between a sports car and a sedan with performance, style and a great driving experience. Love all the tech in the car and the sport design package.

2018 Panamara S Disappoints

I currently own a 2013 Panamara 4 and was eager to get an ‘18 S edition as a loaner. It may be tough to complain about such a well built car but when comparing my 2013 to the 2018 it disappointed me in three ways: 1) the dash board is higher and the clock impeded my vision 2) the total electronic dashboard was impossible to use with gloves on (I live in NE Ohio). Also, the layout is not intuitive compared to previous year models when Porsche employed its long endeared one button one function philosophy 3) the variable ratio power steering did not seem to work. Overall it is usually the minor things that disappoint an owner of and potential buyer of $100K+ vehicles. I’m surprised at Porsche’s lack of attention to detail on this successful model for the car brand.

Excellent car. Very well built and interior design is very thought out. Everything is visually pleasing and things are well placed.

Great sedan with real Porsche sport DNA. Quick and fun to drive, but not the easiest to get into tight parking spaces. Very comfortable for 4 "full size" adults.

Really good car , bad transmission

I never liked the first panamera , the new model is a complete different car .the design and technology are really advanced , even the base engine is powerful , car sounds good , interior is amazing ! My only cons is the transmission ... it is not as fast as it should be , there is also lots of transmission noise ( specially when you come to a stop or when starting from the stop point ) , the worst is the shocks you are having . Porsche should really work in this !
