Funny, people say they hate this car from Porsche. The truth is, before the Cayenne and this car, I would never consider buying a porsche because it was not practical enough for me, and if I had money to burn I would buy a Ferrari instead if I just wanted to drive myself and another person! These cars gave Porsche new customers that think like I do... I used to hate Porsches, now I love them!
Yeah I agree at the end of the day would you rather porsche stay in business and competitive by selling new models like this, or would you rather them struggle and keep pumping out traditional overall uneconomical sports cars. Nothing wrong with this beauty, and hopefully more to come in there line ups.
great review still after 10 years men. and in my opinion this is the best sport sedan overall & in general fact. still today's days. i got my eyes on one last month & still at the dealership... so i do want one. is a 4 S by the way. go porsche 🚗
my neighbor has had 2 of these. granted he works for Porsche and gets a new car every 6 months. but he has had 2 since he moved in. the other was a Cayenne Hybrid. He has a Panamera now. I don't know what trim level. but i get to see it every day. love the look of it.
The interior is one of the most comfortable interiors that I have ever ridden in, and I have ridden in many luxurious, expensive vehicles. Maserati, BMW, Mercedes, etc. just cannot compare.
I’m looking to either buy a 2016 Range Rover evoque, a 2012 Porsche Panamera 4, a Jaguar XF, a Porsche Macan 2015, a BMW X5 M, an Audi RS4, and some other ones
I'm about to replace my 2011 Cayenne. Now that a hide away hitch is available in US for Panamera decision is tough. Which do I order Carmine Red Cayenne or Carmine Red Panamera? If you order all the suspension packages they are true Porsches.
Audi and BMW are great cars but they are no comparison to Porsche. Porsche is actually in a much higher class. no offense. After you own a 911, you will not find anything comparable. You will have difficulty trade it in even for a newer 911. You will develop a passion for it. that is the only sports car that can be used as a daily driver. the maintenance is easy, it is 100% reliable, it is the best car in the world! The panamera with sport plus drive like a 911. It is remarkable, fantastic.
Your review was amazing but I think that loose piece you were bugging about, was just that car because my panamera does not have that loose piece maybe someone hit it too hard
Pure beauty. But Ron, cmon. Rear hatch space is near non-existent. Barely a carry-on fits back there. Something to think about for long distance traveling. Still stunning. Center console looks something serious. There's probably a owners manual just for that.
Because the diesel makes much more sense in many countries. For instance where I'm from diesel is 1/3 the price of petrol. Also, even a rich person doesn't like spending needlessly, plus if you travel by car across Europe in pure comfort you'll be happy to know you can go 750 miles before refuelling.
I am going to leave this right here. Audi S6, 0-60 3.7 secs, $71,000; BMW M5 0-60 3.7 secs, $90,000. I am have to look at one of these Porsche abominations everyday in my neighborhood, in horrible gold no less. Thankfully there is a black Gran Turismo to balance my day out. It is a great car that desperately needs a new look. Great review as usual nonetheless.
And also all you haters, you probably have a Toyota Camry or a Honda civic. Quit hating. If you have a A7, CLS, Or 6 series, then we will talk. The car offers a great interior and exterior, 6 series, CLS, and A7 have no headroom mhmm
Lol you can see engine components too, in other cars if you simply remove the engine cover LOL. I love this car, I guess I'm in the minority as I think it's gorgeous, it and the Rapide
no other car can do 0-100 under 4 seconds where did you saw that numbers panamera turbo S is quickest sedan in the world see video M5 F10 vs Panamera turbo S(NOT PANAMERA ONLY)
I know I don't own a car to compete with this car, yet I have driven in them. I love Porsche however this cat has great innards but terrible looks. Definitely is an example of dont judge a book by its cover
would i pay 200k for a turbo version yes i would.. of cours i cant afford it lol but yes i would deff do it your getting 500 hp in a car where you can ride with your kids thats sick..
you're the best car reviewer ! when people dislike the video its because they dont like the car, its not you !
9 years later and I final bought one of these with 20k miles on it
How are you liking it a year later?
Man, it's a great review, I love the way that you present that. Thaaanks

this is one of the sickest cars i have ever seen

Best review for the panamera so far, thanks a lot.
Just picked mine up today in blue with a beige interior :) I love it
my neighbor has had 2 of these. granted he works for Porsche and gets a new car every 6 months. but he has had 2 since he moved in. the other was a Cayenne Hybrid. He has a Panamera now. I don't know what trim level. but i get to see it every day. love the look of it.
Man your reviews are phenomenal.
Hope soon I will get panamera
It was ugly on the photos to me too, but when I saw it in person, I was so wrong.
The interior is one of the most comfortable interiors that I have ever ridden in, and I have ridden in many luxurious, expensive vehicles. Maserati, BMW, Mercedes, etc. just cannot compare.
This is my second favorite car in the world behind the NSX.
Thinking of buying one. Looks good.
Saw this drive by yesterday. Was amazed by the look and four door.
“But once I’m in here, its aaalllll good”
Very nice reviews man, gratz
GREAT LOOKING CAR AND IT DRIVES AWESOME! VERY HAPPY WITH MINES!
They have one of these at my local car dealerships used,I want it so bad
Excellent review! Knowledgeable and objective. I'm going to look up more of your reviews. :)
It's ugly on photos and videos. But up close and personal, in real life, it's beautiful and impressive.
i think its beautiful everywhere
lol i feel the same about this car!
exactly
Blackwersus One of my friends just bought a used one. IT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS !
***** haha gongrats, I hope he lets you test drive it too
This is my favorite 4 door car, looks awsome
Great review. Great car. Going to buy one soon. Life is short, so if you like it you must have it 😅
Sorry, I'm a bit of a car snob. The PDK transmission is a dual clutch not a twin clutch. There is a difference. I loved this review.
Yeah shut up.
Mike Tirico? His voice sounds very similar. This is a major compliment.
Great car and great reviewer
Porsche did a fantastic job with the design of the vehicle but the Audi A7 still has my pick.
I’m looking to either buy a 2016 Range Rover evoque, a 2012 Porsche Panamera 4, a Jaguar XF, a Porsche Macan 2015, a BMW X5 M, an Audi RS4, and some other ones

It is remarkable, fantastic.
doctors and lawyers with a successful practice are the usual crowd I see in these, and the occasional young kid who wants to be seen will rent one.
Who is this man, he’s omega!!!!!
I didn't know the incredible hulk had moved into reviewing cars.
Your review was amazing but I think that loose piece you were bugging about, was just that car because my panamera does not have that loose piece maybe someone hit it too hard
Cool dude
Nice review
gear paddles are so geniously placed
Oh god, I personally don't think this car looks all that bad, but in gold...
Car and Driver tested the 2013 S6 already and claimed it does 0-60 in 3.7 secs. When are you going to get your hands on the M5?
I'm gonna buy this one
Pure beauty. But Ron, cmon. Rear hatch space is near non-existent. Barely a carry-on fits back there. Something to think about for long distance traveling. Still stunning. Center console looks something serious.

i like this guy
i hope Americans can make a 4 door Corvette like this one beautiful piece of art.
The 2011 Audi S6 takes 5.0 seconds for 0-60MPH and who knows what the 2013 model will do? But yes the BMW is one mean machine agreed.
This is my dream car
I am going to leave this right here. Audi S6, 0-60 3.7 secs, $71,000; BMW M5 0-60 3.7 secs, $90,000.

nice review
What’s the life on these things? Considering you take care of it what y’all think like 130k miles
speedometer is definitely much more important to have front & centre in an auto than a tachometer.
Alec Smith-Cooper i wondered why the host says that
the best car ever from porsche its god but for mee is better the porsche panamera 4
My dad can't decide either a 2013 Panamera or a 2012 Range Rover Lux. If you can Help decide if you got time
They're totally different cars, I suggest your dad to make some research on both of them to see which one satisfies his needs more.
If he is debating between a Porsche sedan vs a Range (SUV) might as well buy a Cayenne.
Porsche for better reliability.
I have the panamera hybrid
Well Porsche needs to sell cars to stay alive and the Cayanne and Panamera sales figures are head and shoulders above the other models.
Agreed.
Looks exactly like my Panamera
Good rivew!
i'm double minded .. should i save more for the 2017 or just buy this Old-generation ?!
pers ara the new one look better but i hate the touchscreen
in europe the price of petrol is much higher then in the states and more than 60% of exec cars are sold diesel
I would totally get the fully loaded Porsche Panerama if the price wasn't at around $200,000!!
That crooked intake cover and air filter connection bugs my eyes.
How tall are you. I’m 6,5 will I fit
No headroom in the A7?! That was one of their big selling points! A sleek, sporty, 4dr hatchback with room for 5 plus HEADROOM!
And also all you haters, you probably have a Toyota Camry or a Honda civic. Quit hating. If you have a A7, CLS, Or 6 series, then we will talk. The car offers a great interior and exterior, 6 series, CLS, and A7 have no headroom mhmm
Chicken at 3:20 lol
Ohhhhh is a Portia!!!!!.....the powered Beetle!!!!!
I would love one of these cars. I think they're sexy. But the price tag.. my Lancer is faster too. D:
Di Mi Go google the pronunciation of Ferdinand Porsche. You DO know who he was, right?
Lol you can see engine components too, in other cars if you simply remove the engine cover LOL. I love this car, I guess I'm in the minority as I think it's gorgeous, it and the Rapide
no other car can do 0-100 under 4 seconds where did you saw that numbers panamera turbo S is quickest sedan in the world see video M5 F10 vs Panamera turbo S(NOT PANAMERA ONLY)
too many useless buttons in the center consul. good review
in terms of consumption id rather go with a bmw 640D
Brand new car and back glass already looks messed up.
Hey it’s my Panamera
You should check out Brian Cooley on CNET very funny guy
I know I don't own a car to compete with this car, yet I have driven in them. I love Porsche however this cat has great innards but terrible looks. Definitely is an example of dont judge a book by its cover
Sometime look at the is beauty.And Iam buy panamera tubo s the new model is very stronger.
It needs to be a 5 seater
maybe he was talking about the RS6 ....
3.7 seconds and there isn't a 2011 s6 in the U.S.
Its a Hatch not a Sedan
San andreas taki kopru deıl mı la o ?
hee :D
not anymore because Porsche is now owned by VW
judging by the wheels i thought this was a turbo.
This guy looks like Don Eladio
GTA SA is that you? o.O
would i pay 200k for a turbo version yes i would.. of cours i cant afford it lol but yes i would deff do it your getting 500 hp in a car where you can ride with your kids thats sick..
the beggining......i were there i had my home there .... in GTA san andreas
I hate the way he says "Porche", he says it like porsh-ah. Other than that, great review
He is saying it correctly you twit.
Blueninjas20 Stfu Its "Porsh-a" Not "Porch"/Porshe Pronouncable
I am buy tubo s in vietnam
How about
Diesel in America = Gross Polluter
Diesel in Europe = Superior Fuel Economy
that why there are othe chevys
I want a 650 but I think Porsche v8 may be more reliable
god get me lottery win!!!!
Audi A7
OFF THE CHANG MMMMMMMMAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNN
take out the ugly hatchback look and it would be sexy as hell. the front is heaven
thank you volkswagen not porsche dd
