  Great looks, poor reliability - 2012 Porsche Panamera
  By Donna Daisey - February 13 - 4:38 am

  My 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.

  Look for the certified pre owned cars.

  Among the best! If you dont like the design - see it in person! - 2012 Porsche Panamera
  By nyfo - May 8 - 7:25 pm

  Got my brand new Panamera a week ago for my birthday! Traded in 2011 Z4 Sdrive3.5i. Have to say that: Panamera handles and takes turns WAY better that a roadster that was intended to do that better by definition. The car is very adequately powered, feels incredibly light for its size and the interior is a killer! You get the feeling of getting into a jet cabin the second you step into it and that feeling never leaves you through the whole ride! Its not too soft (especially on 20" turbo wheels), yet road bumps do not bother you whatsoever. Very luxurious and unique. Test drive it and you will stop looking...

  Great sports car - 2012 Porsche Panamera
  By jimcbr - February 28 - 7:19 am

  Really great car, shockingly so. Its a very comfortable 4 door sedan, decent headroom, comfortable, usable seats, both front and rear, smooth and quiet ride, nice interior. At the same time, it has absolutely unreal, incredible sports car handling. The only car Ive ever driven that handled the road as well as the Panamera was a 360 Modena. But that was a very noisy 2 seater, you could feel every bump on the road, difficult to get in an out of, etc. Amazing, they basically took a Ferrari and made it pleasant to drive, with virtually no degradation in performance.
