Just got a 4S and I love it. Paid half the MSRP for a CPO 2018.. lol I feel bad for whoever bought it brand new.

I just drove my GT3 up there today from the Amsterdam area (dont hold that against me). What a perfect day for a drive! All the backroads were empty too except for 1 propane truck who waved me by!

Great review as always! as much as I love the panamera and i really do love it, I don't think its worth 140k to be honest, for sure 100k but not 140k.

Nuanced review of a beautiful car. I loved the old one, and this one looks and seems even better. And, because my Kia has ventilated seats and the Porsche doesn't, I get to tease my best friend, who drives a Panamera. If I were in this market, it seems like it would be hard not to love this car. Now, if they bring the wagon to the USA, I might have to forgo a few other expenses (?Food?) in order to make the stretch!

Another thorough and well produced review, Steve. Great point about auto stop start with the PDK. Porsche’s autostop hasn’t improved since they introduced it. It’s hard to ignore the lack of refinement.

I have a 2018 for us sport Turismo I absolutely love it it is my first Porsche I have always had Mercedes before that or big GM SUVs. I will never go back to another Mercedes after having this vehicle I get more compliments on it more what is that questions it is a driver's car the quality is unbelievable there is not a rough Edge to be dealt with I can't say enough good obviously and in the more expensive price range frankly I find it to be a good value it has been very reliable I have 70,000 miles on my car already and it's had nothing but oil changes and tires brakes will be needed soon. It is covered under the Porsche extended warranty for another year and a half so I'm breathing easy actually thinking of selling it now and moving into another one. Anyone interested in a purchase? LOL

Isn't it always the problem with twin clutch transmissions to suffer klunkiness when in lower gears? (You'd think Porsche would put an on/off switch for the start/stop system. And especially with Porsche's PDK)
