Fantastic Review. I just wish I saw this before I bought my Panamera Turbo. First week of ownership, my coolant pipe essentially detached while I was driving on the highway. All the coolant leaked out and engine overheated. Searched for this issue online, apparently it's a very common issue in not only the Panamera, but also Cayennes. Needs new thermostat, thermostat housing, and coolant lines. 3.5k. Fast forward a year, the air suspension failed in the front. The car was sitting on the struts and could not be driven. I took the car to my independent mechanic to be fixed. I thought I'd save some money with re manufactured struts. Do NOT EVER buy re manufactured struts. Long story short, the reman struts were defective and caused a short in my car's electrical system. After 5 months of diagnosis and repairs at my indy, the car is finally working. I replaced 2 front air struts, air compressor, control module, value block, suspension senors, and fuses, all OEM. The total cost? 9k at an indy shop. Oh and I forgot to mention. Look up this issue, error message "chassis system failure. It's littered across the internet. Air suspension failure is inevitable in these cars. The original parts were not made to last. Porsche updated their air struts parts 3 times since the first model year. Do I love driving this car? Sure, while it works. Is it worth the 15k I have in repair bills in under 2 years? That's food for thought for anyone thinking of picking up one of these used cars for cheap. Oh and btw, my car had 35k miles, was never in a prior accident, and had been warrantied throughout its life by the last owner.

You're Brilliant! Finally someone that reviews common issues when buying used

I bought a Porsche Panamera Turbo about 18 months ago. It had 44k miles on it. The car was beautiful and the maintenance records from the dealer looked good. I thought it was smart to purchased an extended car warranty from CarShield for $6,300 for good measures. It was an absolute false sense of security. Horrible mistake. 3 months later the cam adjusters on the engine self-destructed. The Porsche dealer said it will cost $4,200 to repair them. I happily called CarShield thinking "good thing I got that policy." Them m!&f!#s denied the claim. OMG! They said they don't cover anything that associated with broken bolts even if it was a covered part. What??! I had to fix it out of pocket. 2 weeks later the Coolant sensor went out. A $900 repair. Them "blankety blanks" denied that too. In essence, NOTHING is covered, because the fine print gives them the right to deny just about anything. You can't even sue them! That's in the fine print too! Happy to say I cancelled the policy. Fortunately, 1 month later Porsche initiated a recall on that part and will refund my money. Other than that, I've had no other problems and I still love this car. It cost $3200 if Porsche replace your brakes. I did it myself for $300. Oil change cost $400. I did it myself for $75. Overall I would say the Panamera Turbo is a great car. It's definitely a crowd pleaser. You can't even go to a gas station without getting complemented. Just be aware that maintenance is extremely high unless you can do most of it yourself. And good luck finding a extended warranty company that won't rob you and will actually approve your claim when you file one.

Just last week a used car salesman was showing me a 2013 Panamera 4S - 123,000 km done. I didn't drive it, but he was going on and on as to how great the car is. Showed me the air suspension as well. He is selling it for $31,000 ... The interior is quite good, no doubt, but the cost of maintenance will be beyond my budget. Hence, I walked away from it. Your video just confirmed my decision. Thank you Very much.

Impossible to not be excited for your new videos

This info was super helpful thank you very much!👍🏼

Love your reviews. You do a fantastic job. the best reviews i have seen.

Your information is very beneficial.. I take your guide in purchasing a second car. Really really awesome. Tq bro..

Sorry you didnt ruin it for me im still buying one!

I really want to buy a Panamera Turbo 970 and thanks for the video it helped me

Great video. Keep up the good work.

On point and succinct very good coverage for those looking to take the dive. thank you!

Great review, thank you

Thx really good reviews in your channel

I bought a 2011 Panamera 4 in May 2017. In nearly 3 years of ownership, it has been very disappointing. The first problem was the window switch. It flew off and I had to tear apart the door panel to replace it. Then the oil pressure regulator valve went bad about 5 months after I bought it. That was almost $800 to repair. Fortunately, I don't recall any repairs in 2018. I bought the car with about 86k miles on it. Today, it has 155k miles. In that span, it has cost me over $7k in repairs and I have more to do. In all fairness, some of the repairs are routine maintenance. Some of the expenses include (approximate): $1100 - ignition coil and oil pressure valve $600 - second key and diagnosis $960 - diagnosis and two front tires (not to mention a 140 mile tow bill because the car doesn't have a spare tire $350 - door lock actuators (replaced 3 of the 4) (eBay parts) $160 - blower motor (Porsche quote $600, I did the work myself with a part from eBay) $2200 - front brakes $420 - rear tires (bought slightly used tires from eBay to save about $600) $489 - bought part for driveshaft support (center support bearing is a common problem) $256 - transmission oil pan to fix leak (just the parts) I haven't had the driveshaft support part or the transmission oil pan installed yet. Expecting about $500-$1k to get those two things done. Many of these parts are those I searched for on eBay or elsewhere to save money. I've done a LOT of work myself wherever I could. Doing these things have saved me, literally, many thousands of dollars. For example, I've been quoted $1800 to replace the transmission oil pan and about $2500 to replace the driveshaft. As you can see, the parts are FAR cheaper and the labor is really not that intense. And then there is today. Had my check engine light checked out and it looks like I need a thermostat. I was quoted almost $1k for that. Then there is a faulty TPMS sensor and air bag light. Porsche quoted me $2200 to replace the passenger seat frame to fix the air bag light. I love the car but I've been nothing but terribly disappointed in the amount of repairs that it has required. It's not me. Do research on these problems and you'll find that they are common for the Panamera. Oh. I didn't even mention the front end assembly. That's about $5k repair and most people seem to be like me and just live with the crunching noise in cold weather. It sounds like the car is going to fall apart when you go over a speed bump. For $100k car, I expect a much more reliable car. I'm extremely disappointed.

Very informative, thanks.

Great review! great info.

Thanks for uploading! I liked and subscribed. I am native german speaker and I can understand you very well. Thanks a lot for this helpful video

1:46 That guy on the left wished he'd be driving the Panamera, not his electric buggy. Great review, lots of useful tips!

You do a fantastic job!!!! Thanks!!!!

awesome review. the best.

love the accent, reminds me of Luigi from movie Cars 🚗 😊

Thanks, very helpful.

nice video, good choice of car, considerin d new Panamera is in the market :) keep going

Great review

Thank you for taking the time to do an informative review. If taking one to an independent shop how much can one expect to pay to get a second opinion before buying?

Good info 👍🏻

Nice video. I am buying tomorrow one and I cannot sleep and watching your video..

I use to own a 2013 panamera gts it’s great when it’s running I’ll say that! I ended up selling mine overall good car just make sure you can afford the maintenance

Thanks very Helpful!😊

Cool thanks!

Best way to buy any foreign high performance vehicles is from a desler as a certified pre owned and usually get a 2 year warranty- costs more but you can’t afford to fix these cars otherwise. Wife just bought a 2014 porsche panamera turbo s executive with 60k miles for $67k with two year unlimited mileage warranty . Beautiful car and fast as hell

nice video , one point missing:) do you mean that 2011 Pertol engine 6v 3.6l is better than 3.0l diesel ? would be great to know your opinion .thanks again for nice video

Something seriously over looked here is the depreciation of this type of car. I bought one, then had some problems with it and asked Porsche to buy it back from me. (the suspension broke plus I had some minor panel beating issues which were self inflicted.) The money they offered (after all repairs were done and paid for) was 55% of what I had paid them 15 months earlier... In other words the car depreciated by 45% in 15 months. Mechanical issues can be overcome by buying the car with a Porsche motorplan but the depreciation issue is not avoidable . So be warned

For Americans (like myself) that are thinking there were no Panameras with a manual, they manufactured base model V6 Panameras for the European market with manuals. The PDK transmission MUST be serviced regularly as it is prone to failure if not properly serviced. You also forgot to mention the Burmester sound system, which is the actual premium option for the audio system.

My 2011 Cayenne s hybrid and Panamera had coolant pipes burst and the repair bill by my independent mechanic was $7,500. People, you've been warned. I also had these issues in my 2003 Cayenne turbo. Same headaches and high repair bill's.

I bought a first gen with 33k miles, the vin isn’t part of the recall so I’m hoping the motor is good! It did not have the ceramic breaks, thanks for the heads up on those costs. Your review is entertaining and informative, keep up the great work!

Buying a 2018 one next week.

BTW All the pre-facelift Panamera 3.6 V6/ 4.8 V8 / Turbo/ Turbo S motors are based on the same block. Oil Consumption is same. The ticking noise/ Engine failure is not from burning oil. The cam bolts fail and can snap will blow that shit up. US cars have a recall for all Panamera and Cayenne with these motor

I'm glad I watched this. I just discovered Porsche stopped putting the naturally aspirated V8 engine in the Panamera GTS so if I want one now I will have to buy used. They were all bought up by Porsche enthusiasts in 2016 and I can't even find one for sale in Canada. The NA V8's have the best exhaust note of all the Panameras' and for the cost and trouble of owning this car, it should sound really good too.

My experience best used Panamera is 2014 facelift 3.6 good reliability and low cost maintainance

Hi how about the six cylinder versions? you didnt explore that engine for us...

I actually like that 989

Sticking with the 2015 porsche panamera v6.

Checking out this review 4 a friend who lives in Canada and is interested in the Panamera.

Not a common problem but happens more often than you think 😂

It IS interesting that just 20 years later Porsche did make a four door sedan after de prototype. I just did t realise it 😮

Subscribed, though I would never buy a German car in the U.S.

You sound Hungarian! Great video thanks

Just like everything in life, half of what you hear is exaggerated, both good and bad. Panameras are no better or worse than almost any car in their own price category. I bought a 1 owner 2012 Panamera turbo in 2020 with 14,000 miles. Actually owned by an older lady that only drove it in summer to the country club. Paid only 1/4 the MSRP and I thought I was golden with low miles, but had some of the "typical" issues that Panameras have. I spent another $10k to fix it at Porsche but that's the crap-shoot you take with anything you buy. Will something break again, yes, would I do it all over again, Hell Yes! I'm still shocked that I could ever own a $171,400 vehicle that can still keep up with or beat 99% of the cars on the road, gets 20mpg and cost the same as a 2023 Kia to insure. Life is far too short to worry about every little issue that someone online can come up with. If you ever get the chance to drive a Panamera, especially a turbo or turbo S, you'll want one and never look back.

Please do video about 997 Porsche

I'd rather find a way to make the lease payment that covers everything under the sun.

I owned a 911 991.1 and when doing my research, I asked the sales person about reliability, he answered: No problems, since it has 50 years heritage, but other Porches don’t have that

Are you going to do a video on the 2011-2017 Porsche Cayenne? I've been considering one for a while.

Hi, could u make a video on the mercedes s class w222 2015 common issues, thanks

I have the 2012 Panamera S Hybrid. I bought it used from a Porsche dealership. I keep having the Hybrid System Failure code come on and go off since I've had it. I replaced the regular battery within a month of purchasing it. I spent $1000 with the battery and reprogramming. I keep taking it back and they keep saying they don't know why it's happening. Do you have any clue. Also my engine had to be taken out because of the rear engine oil seal was leaking. Porsche of North America covered the cost. I love the car but I hate these problems and don't feel 100% confident about it. It drives amazing.

Thank you for the risky advices, this is the problem with modern cars, you need a solid bank account, a Scientist from nasa, a Dr (for stress) , a tow truck... part of the package. Anyway thanks, you save me a lot of money by avoiding this car.

Pretty cool car for daily. 🤔

Damn theres a 6 speed Panamera? Thats badass

Its not a Porsch its a Porsche. But a good review.

Would bringing up cost to maintain be a decent way to get used dealers to offer a better price?

They 989 from ‘91 ....not bad looking. They should have released it then....Porsche needed cash bad back then...they Cayenne saved them and the Panamera if sold back then ...would have help as well.

I have my eye on a 2014 porsche panamera 4 with 60k miles on it. Should I buy or avoid

Im looking to buy the 2018 model with under 10k on it . . Either 4s or turbo if I can find one with a pre certified warranty that doesn't cost and arm and a leg lol . . I cant deal with the stress if maintenence. . . I want to 2 year warranty and also the additional 2 years porshe offers . . Any suggestions

Could you review the Jaguar XJ, XJL from 2011-2016.

@different car review : What sporty limousine would you recommend for dynamic drive without having to sell an arm and leg on maintenance and fixes?

I thought Porsche engines are bullet proof, why all these issues? Do you recommend hybrid version?

I want the ultra-rare V8 Panamera with a manual transmission. Possibly the first German muscle car!

2012 S Hybrid and 2014 S E-Hybrid, which is better to purchase? and whther it really save gasoline? Thanks.

Wow, I thought BMW engines had oil leak problems. Porsche is possibly worst. LOL my BMW valve cover leak at around 50,000 miles. I guess my Lexus is the only car that never leaked oil and nothing broke on it even at 320,000 miles. Just the normal wear and tear. Yes, that's not a typo..320,000 miles. NOTE: It did start burning oil around the 300,000 mark.

Firstly get a certified Porsche inspection done prior to purchase and take out a warranty if good to go, otherwise don’t buy, you’ll be broke!!!

bought my 2011 Panamera S with 37K, have 41K now and the car is great. I did make sure Porsche had all the recalls done before they sent it my way. This car drives great and is a beast in a corner. Oh and the sound system will make your ears bleed. If you get this for 30K or less with low miles... and you are a family of 4..... DO IT!!!!!!

What is the oil consumption on 2016 Panamera 4S 3.0? Is it reliable engine? I have only 126 miles and plan to take it to Poland.

What about Ferrari 612 ?? Are they reliable for daily driving?

What’s the highest mileage you’d buy one of these for $30,000?

Shit dude ,I love your accent

Bose is the standard, burmester is the upgraded sound system

which model Panamer a between 2012 thru 2016 is the best model

Hi the noise like a baring involve for pdk gearbox it’s normal ?

Big love from Singapore my friend ! Could you please make a video about Audi a8l D4 please ? Please reply ! Thanks

I have a 2014 Porsche Panamera s and my reduced power engine light came on wat could this be some please help

6speed manual never knew

Great video. Could you possibly do the first generation Jaguar XF?

Thank you for your informative and useful review about 970 Porsche Panamera. After this video, I purchased a 2011 Panamera Turbo with Porsche factory power upgrade (540 hp) and I just loved the car! Hope to have some years without any negative surprises....I did checked the car as you recommended. Question: the Nikasil cylinder coating was only made for the S and 4S models? How about Turbo models? Best regards

What about the hybrid model issues

How expensive is maintenance?

971 version please

It’s really sad when you shop shop shop for a great low maintenance car that’s fairly dependable and relatively cheap to maintain, and your still stuck having to keep looking and looking and looking 😝

Pdk is it reliable? Vw dsg was not

Did your cousin Niko ever take you bowling?

@6:30 oil change after 8000 km?

Watched that video... nothing on the hybrid 😑thanks

I'm planning to buy Panamera turbo 2012 4.8 L ! What do you think about that engine?

It’s a damn shame these cars don’t last but it makes sense, I mean when you think about it the average rich guy is not going to keep this car past 2 years so in a way it does make sense they’re just robbing rich people with an inferior product masking it in a beautiful package rich people are not looking up the reliability of this car us poor people are lmao it’s unfair it’s unfair tears 😭 tears 😭

Did manual come to US?

Anybody here own a ... 2014 Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid would love to hear your thoughts.. pros and cons .. seem to be able to pick them up at a good price now used. I've never owned a Hybrid before and drive a Panamera 4S 2010 now..it's been great !..but would like to upgrade. thank you for your thoughts...wondering if I should stay away from the 1 gen

Omg. No wonder they drepreciate so much.

I know this is an old video BUT never ever ever buy a used Porsche without a warranty.. ever seriously. Repairs for the most "minor" issue will exceed your expectations. Second, make sure you go over the car very carefully, check every button, every electric component (multiple times) and ask for a maintenance report from the car logs as well as receipts for work done at a Porsche service center. I'd consider ANY repairs done outside of that to be questionable at best.

i really love this car. how much money does it take to maintain this, if you drive 15.000-20.000km/year. maybe 1000k including insurance and tax?
