Great looks, poor reliability - 2012 Porsche Panamera
By Donna Daisey - February 13 - 4:38 amMy initial attraction to the Porsche Panamera was its unique styling and rareness on the road. After less than a year of ownership, I had buyers remorse. The transmission switching gears is prominent both in acceleration and braking. In comparison, the Mercedes-Benz and BMWs Ive owned in the past have been silky smooth. Like both Volkswagens I owned during my youth, this car has electronic gremlins. Upon starting the vehicle, the climate control changes its settings at will about once a month. Every three months or so, the radio will not work until you turn the car off and start it again. As of 2017, my car only has 25,000 miles, yet things are breaking left and right. The horn stopped working after four years. The trim on the drivers window switch broke off. The passenger window switch is cracked. On a positive note, the car is roomy inside.
