Owned one and Never again!

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.

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.

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.
