PASM is not air suspension. Air Suspension is a $2,190 option above PASM. PASM alone is adaptive steel spring and shocks, with a valve that opens and closes in the steel shock. The optional Air Suspension with PASM is more plush, softer riding, and floats over roads without a spring's rebound oscillation. Air Suspension with PASM is optional on the Panamera, Panamera 4, and Panamera 4S. Standard on all higher trims.

Base model Porsches are almost always the right choice, unless you're buying a track car. Everything is optional, so set a reasonable budget: $10,000-$15,000 will usually turn the base model into an excellent car.
@jacksondaniels81695 жыл бұрын
alliejr. I most certainly agree, that’s what we did. Negotiated the price on a model with the options we wanted, went from $110k to $90k OTD. Porsche San Diego. Awesome car! Didn’t need to be car poor trying to move up model levels. The 21” sport design wheel does wonders for the looks. Not sure where he got his car to review buts it’s exterior looks filthy.
@dontaedoby79452 жыл бұрын
Exactly. Its no reason to buy the 4s or Turbo unless you plan on going to a track. You can't go faster than 80mph on the highway in USA. I don't see the reason to pay all the extra money for the higher end models.

Great review and an accurate portrayal. Yes the missing safety features take a little getting use to. However as far as drive quality and actually being able to apply the power to the road... And especially having the confidence to do it while cornering. There are few vehicles that come close. It's a large sedan(length equivalent to a mid sized suv) extremely comfortable drive. Practical. Even when loading a toddler into the car seat. And ample performance to get through traffic, be the first at the next light, make the changing light, as well as slip into a gap of a lazy driver in traffic(Who may have his adaptive cruise control engaged). The sound of the turbo in sports mode is rather exciting. And yes it does not press you against the seat. It does however stop on a dime! With no lateral movement to speak of. Coming from a fully loaded SL400 into this vehicle, I have 0 regrets! @

Maybe you guys may be able to tell me - noticed that the badge on the hood does not say “Stuttgart”. While on other models it does. I vaguely remember someone telling me that only Porsche’s made in Stuttgart get this badge while those made elsewhere get the non-Stuttgart badge. Or maybe it’s those made in Germany vs those made outside Germany. Any idea?

And especially if you are from the USA... with its ridiculously low speed limit of 65 mph. Americans could never take this car to its limits... A Panamera is made for German conditions, and this should be enough for American roads as well. It's quite funny, if Americans consider this car as "not particularly fast"... WTF??? Oh yes..., because that's the reason for being a "base model"... What do they expect? For them every Porsche should be going "supercar fast"... for "only 100.000 Dollars"? This guy cruises along with this Panamera in perfect "grandma style"... It's really funny watching this. Hey: this Panamera is absolutely fantastic, if you want it really to GO...! But if you are to unexperienced or simply to "dumb" driving fast with this car, please step out of it! Greetings from Germany!
