Tedward is my kind of car reviewer. All (or most of) the cars he drives are among my long-time favorites, and he has exactly the right attitude toward them, IMHO.
That nice “connection to the powertrain” is what MTs gave us. You had to be in tune with the engine and the road to drive a MT properly. It is what kept most of us engaged, which is not only fun, but it’s a safety issue! This Panamera is a wonderful vehicle, but that is largely because it has a lot of power (also a fine vehicle in general of course). I would be OK with an automatic, only if it has a powerful motor! Power makes up for a lot! I also hate the new big-grill BMWs (and I do drive a BMW, from the opposite end of the price range), which are, IMHO, UGLY.
Porsche really have perfected the art of making cars. The interior for example is just so well laid out, unlike the other luxury sedans in this class that have just gone mad with large screens in the name of innovation. Also, thanks for putting out another great video as always!
One of my favorite cars. Definitely an aspirational purchase. As much as I am conscious of the environment, I'd love to be able to purchase one of these before they're gone
I don't think these type of cars doing any crazy mileages and also they're not sold in high figures. Considering this they don't have such a big impact comparing to the main pollutants of our planet. But I understand that it's kind of lavish purchase, not guided by common sense.
It is worth saying that one of these, as with any car, is gonna be completely negligible in regard to its impact on the environment. You just cannot do enough with a car to make it worth as much as a cargo ship or a coal mine or a plane (in particular, the egregious private jets). It's a pretty guilt-free thing that has been made "your problem" because of companies pushing that with the carbon footprint idea, so they can make sure you get all of the responsibility and guilt while they can continue being the actual problem despite being in positions to fix it.
@@ElliWoelfin Exactly, and when you consider the mining operations that have to take place to gather some of the materials used in hybrid and electric batteries you could probably make the case that certain electric/hybrid cars do create more net pollution than gas cars. Sure, a fully electric car has no direct emissions but that's only half the story - you have to consider what goes into making the car, as well as the energy sources for the electricity used to charge it.
You’ll be helping the environment a lot more than buying an EV. EV’s cause way more environmental damage when you factor in sourcing the raw materials (such as the slave labor lithium and nickel mines) for the batteries and the increased power grid usage (most electricity comes from fossil fuels being burned).
I see the Panamera as a modern 928 S4. A big V8 up-front in a simple, smooth executive body sending power to all four wheels to create the ultimate Porsche grand touring car. This one just happens to come with two more doors
There's a rumor that they might be considering a Panamera Coupe. Panamera underpinnings, hatchback, and Two (count 'em) 2 doors! Keeping my fingers crossed....
I bought a 2018 Panamera Turbo sport turismo (you did a video on one) and I love it. Best daily driver for someone with a small family. I get more attention then I thought I would driving it lol
As a lifetime BMW customer I went into the dealership to spec out the F90 LCI M5. My dealership had the M5 Comp and an M550i on the floor, so I decided to give them both a spin. After stepping into the M550i I realized quickly that optioned with 19's the M550i is the right vehicle for me. I drive 12,000 miles a year in NYC. I could not for the life of me justify the M5. After watching your Panamera GTS review, I might consider giving it a whirl once my Lease is up next year. In the mean time I am in LOVE with my 530hp and 553lb/ft Bavarian powerhouse. Great review btw!
Finally my beloved GTS on your channel. Have it as Cayenne, but also test drove the Panamera GTS as well, because they didn’t have the GTS Cayenne at my dealership and I wanted to check if that engine won’t be too aggressive for daily driving and it definitely wasn’t - it was perfect. The experience of driving those are very similar actually - both have grip limits way above my limits of courage and skills 😂 Would love to see the Cayenne GTS review from you as well, I’m really interested in your opinion.
One of the greatest vehicles you can buy. Our 2012 is still rock solid and tight, compared to our 2013 Mercedes SUV that was built out of squeaky plastic and baby rattles.
6:31 rockets away! :p In seriousness, Panamera's are underrated and that contrast stitching really pops compared to how the configurators always appear. Cheers!
I've lived in Arlington, and out in Ayer, and worked in Waltham. I'm very familiar with those roads - Rte. 2, of course, but also those little side roads into Weston/Lincoln/etc. Thanks for this vid, great car and unique context.
Ive never understood why youtubers trash talk the 970. Yet they sold well and if you weren’t a youtuber, you loved its looks. Couldn’t it be, that the vast majority of folks buying the 970 thought, and still think, the 970 was gorgeous? It would be refreshing for anyone making a video about the 970, or 971, to come out and praise the 970 for the beauty it was.
I'm a fan of the Panamera too. A 4S is a nice place to be. The GTS is great, but sometimes less is more. I wish you could do three pedals, but I'm happy with fast wagons in general. We need more fast wagons.
"Not my problems...but hey I'm allowed to say it..." "The Rumble will do us good..." and "Beat up by underfunded roads..." Awesome... 😆👍🏾and as always another great review
Love the new videos but I definitely missing watching things like the Miata road-trip when ur came out. I think some videos of your life would be appreciated by your viewers
After watching this video I’m actually going to Porsche West Broward to check out a Panamera GTS right now. Never really considered a Panamera but I’ve been looking to replace my DBX/M5 so I’ll see what I think of it in person. Definitely gonna order a Turbo S while there because none of the local Porsche dealers have a Turbo S in stock right now.
Why did you buy/lease a DBX in the 1st place? 🤔🤔🤔 😉 Such a worthless vehicle in all due respects. Might as well check out a Urus as it is not afraid to let you know what it is. And will do every thing you want want or to. I know this is a fake account, but it is fun to see what ppl say.....
Hoping to replace my aging BMW M6 Gran Coupe with this exact spec'd GTS a few years down the line. AWD plus the liftback is going to make this an incredible daily commuter.

My dad also remembered reading about some highway in Italy that has no speed limit, but its a complete myth, i dont know how it spread to the whole world, but only in Germany you have this and in some parts of Australia. He was telling me when i was a kid, about this road in Italy that has a dedicated lane where speed limit doesnt exist, but its not true );
@@TedwardDrives under 6 degrees celsius winter tires should be worn. Us Swedes know how important this is and how much of a difference the tires makes 👍
There the car chugs around at a maximum of 65 mph all its life, ceramic brake - it's crazy and sad. But this car only wakes up from 100 mph. Nevertheless, have fun with the car and greetings from D.
Say you had a couple of sports cars already (992, 550, Murcielago) and needed a daily, which would you lean towards between the Panamera and the new W223 S-Class? Is the Porsche too sporty given the stable?
Is there actually that much difference in driver enjoyment between this and the cayenne? Seems like both have numb steering and similar handling otherwise.
One of the rare youtubers who have respectably kept creating great content and are overly underrated. You deserve more. Keep up the good work!

For sure

Porsche is surely the best sportscars manufacturer.
Reminds me of the e90, e92 interior of BMW. They were on to something back then.
I love Porche cars!
I agree. I personally am not a fan of the new large screens at ALL. I don't want an iPad in front of me distracting me while I'm driving. 😣
Absolutely LOVE the wagon versions of these. Nothing like a Practical Porsche
i've lost count of how many times i have come back to watch this video.

Low dash is the best. That interior is simple but screams perfection with straight lines.
Lovely car, lovely scenery. Really desperate for at least a LITTLE snow down here in Philly.
This is *the* best looking Panamera ever
2013 GTS
Love the Panamera GTS. Saw one in black a few weeks ago and damn did it look good.
I love the red stitching on the interior against the black. Perfection
I can't get over how well the pdk handles those 1st to 2nd to 3rd shifts, just beautiful
I have this engine in my A8. Great response and thrust. Doesn't handle as well as the Panny but rides better and has more space in the back.

Couldn't you custom order one like my mom? A down side to custom ordering is that it takes monthssssss for it to ship to us.
One of the greatest vehicles you can buy.
Our 2012 is still rock solid and tight, compared to our 2013 Mercedes SUV that was built out of squeaky plastic and baby rattles.
Porsche don't miss. Agreed that they feel incredible.
ted's gotten quite popular on here, glad to see you've gained a decently sized community since your early videos :)

Such a beatufil sound of this beast!! Good video!! 😉👍🏻👍🏻
Love your videos dude, keep up the good work!!
Porsche and Mazda are two of my favourite car companies right now. They know how to make cars 😊
Love the sound of that V8 too 👍
I love this car for what it is, you nailed it ! Your commentary is accurate, thanks for the video Tedward !
Great video. I like how you do some of the ‘mid spec’ cars and not the fastest version.
Thank you for making this video, got me excited
As a European viewer, i love to see the km/h sometimes bro.
I am more amazed how well planted this thing and was nervous for you driving on this New England back roads with snow.

‘From the law’ when you voiced those words, that is what I think every time as I press thee foot feed on GTS, get it got it gone
I don’t understand how any Porsche is considered a sleeper, panamera gts is a dope vehicle
I'm a fan of the Panamera too. A 4S is a nice place to be. The GTS is great, but sometimes less is more. I wish you could do three pedals, but I'm happy with fast wagons in general. We need more fast wagons.
My next vehicle for sure! Currently own a Cadillac CTS-V coupe but in the market for a sedan and this one most definitely fits the bill!!!
Porsche ist Just wow. Would Love to Test Drive a GT3 RS that would be my dream
I got nervous at "15:00". Thought you were gonna wipe out Lol
0:10 OMG, THANK YOU FOR CORRECT PRONOUCNATION !!!
I don't think I've heard it mispronounced
The thing about more power & better brakes is this…It’s better to have it ¬ need it, than it is to need it & not have it.
The ultimate 4 doors gran coupé!!!
You and the Tropher should collaborate. I think you guys would complement each other well
We have a bunch of times! He’s one of my closest friends
Maybe it was just the rain, but the exhaust sound at idle reminded me of standing behind Correct Craft.
3:15 Tedward, the rear wiper is an option on the GTS Panamera.
Love your videos man!
YOU ABSOLUTELY TRY TO GET A OPPORTUNITY TO DRIVE A PANAMERA 4S ST TEDWARD, I think it’s deserves the Sleeper title a bit more than the GTS
One of my 'if I had the money cars'... plus it would sit really nicely next to my beloved old Cayman!!
"Not my problems...but hey I'm allowed to say it..." "The Rumble will do us good..." and "Beat up by underfunded roads..."
Awesome... 😆👍🏾and as always another great review
parents just bought a panamera 2022 GTS V8 twin turb, color is wine red with black rims under 15,000 miles
How are the pops and bangs from the exhaust?
I have to admit, you have some nice winter tyres on ...
I really like the look of this car. There was a guy with a black one with some mods on it was an incredible ride.
Hey Tedward, I love your videos and the cars that you review. I have one question. How do you get a job reviewing cars? Keep up the good work!!
Love the new videos but I definitely missing watching things like the Miata road-trip when ur came out. I think some videos of your life would be appreciated by your viewers
I'll see if I can make some of that stuff happen this year. Creatively I know it would be very rewarding
We don’t mind softish suspension, provided the car still delivers excellent grip and handling, in fact…
Dream car for sure.
I love the wagon/hatch styling. so much better at driving than an SUV and you got the space

As a panamera turbo owner, not unnecessary. Also, I prefer the look of the 970 to the 971. But the sport Turismo looks the best
Like the refresh on the front and rear design.
Goodness that car sounds nice
Realized the odometer was in kph. I was like no way he’s going 130 on Rt2 in the rain 😅
😂 I was hoping someone would call me a maniac
@@TedwardDrives I mean if it was mph it is a Porsche 🤷♂️

So this car must be for The Bond villain because that Cayenne Turbo video from a few days ago is definitely for the evil gang of henchmen.
