I am a 30 year automotive professional and a Porsche owner since 1985. The Panamera GTS v8 is a BEAST. I love this car. I mean I love this car. If I ever sell it, I would want it to go to a family member or a close friend without hesitation. Having driven and owned multiple marque brands including Aston Martin, Bentley, Ferrari, BMW I can say that Porsche never disappoints. My GTS is a daily driver and one of the most comfortable and reliable cars I have ever driven. The interior is laid out extremely well and the exterior design is still jaw dropping. The performance from the 440 HP engine and multiple performance setting make this a true driver's car. P.S. Since 1984, All I have to do is hold the Porsche key in my hand to put a smile on my face, and I'm still smiling.

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.
