Most unreliable vehicle I’ve ever owned

August 20, 2022
By Jim C. from Naples, FL
Owns this car

Everything I start the car I get anxiety about faults coming up on the dash. It never ends. Once you remedy faults, another one comes up. Also the Panamera with PDK transmission is a ticking time bomb.. failure rate according to many searches of PDK transmissions online is pretty staggering. Porsche does not allow independent shops to program their cars so you are forced to go to the dealer for pretty extensive repairs where they are free to xxxx you.

This car met all of my exceptions, so much I bought another one. The Porsche Panamera is sporty, elegant and reliable. It's worth the drive.
