Will be in the market for a C7/C7.5 RS6 in a few months and after seeing this I was considering this as a possible alternative. Main thing putting me off is that bloody VED is near 700 quid a year, a 2017 RS6 4.0 TT is only 180 quid. 2015/16 were apparently good years for the Panamera too, it was reported that the oil/coolant/transmission issues that plagued the earlier models were ironed out. Looks/sounds fantastic as well, and getting anything over 20mpg in a near 5L V8 is damn good going..good luck with the sale!
@@ParagonCarsLondon Yeah I hear you! Even the RS6 isn't free from issues though, definitely be getting one with a decent warranty. I expect all the usual general maintenance stuff like brakes, etc which aint cheap but for a V8 TT I don't expect anything to be cheap and it'll probably be my last big blowout before the last of the dino juice lol
I’ve a 2014 year of this car 37k and maintenance wise I’ve changed the oil and although Porsche state 60k for PDK oil I changed it at 34 k I had a creak on the spoiler and got it stripped and fully greased not a sound from it. It’s going in for new rear suspension arms and 4 new tyres. Other than the basics everything seems a solid on these cars. At 570 bhp it can go. At super car days this car embarrasses a lot of super car drivers. A lot of car for fair money. Next plan is a 2 week road trip of Europe.
13:21 it’s a luxury and performance car all in one but genuinely feels like it .. they got the balance so perfectly!
Best 970.1 Turbo POV on youtube by far 👌🏽...trust me I've checked out most of them. I want one.....
I’ve watched a good few of your videos now your reviews are really excellent
I own a newer model. Everything you say about the Panamera is correct. Good review.

Checked the brochure and the turbo s comes with power steering plus as standard which adapts to a firmer steering ratio at high speeds

Could you do a review on the seat leon 1.2 tsi engine from like 2013-18 model
Seat Leon 1.2 Isn't a prestige, performance or 4x4 vehicle..
He reviewed a old polo tho so I think he can do review on the leon because they ain't cheap cars they are around 8-9k
Good review shame about the rain
Compared to newer one I do like more the look at the front and inside. The rear end on non turbo model is meeh.
Do you prefer this over m5 ?
Felt like I just watched Tom cream for the car for 29 mins, not complaining tho lol.
🤣
