yes indeed!!!

Saw this years ago and watched it again today and it is a great review. I have had a Porsche Panamera Turbo from 2014 for 3 years and it is a fantastic car. Drives like a super sports car, but enable me to have the family with me in the car. As a real Porsche should do, it drives amazing in curves and corners.

I agree that the shifter being backwards is a pain but I swear the push/pull feature of the paddle shifters is so convenient. I love being able to up or down shift with either hand while drinking a cup of coffee!

Matt Farah. I have to give it to you, this is one of the best reviews i have seen you do. great job, and keep them coming.

I'd happily buy this car over an audi rs7 or a cls 63 amg or a bmw m6 grand coupe. Those cars will depreciate so quickly if you owned any of those cars for about 3 years then you will sell them for half the price whereas the porsche is more expensive but it holds its value for longer and you won't lose that much money when you come to sell it on.

True I absolutely love this car never driven one but hopefully one day I will own one used when they come down in value, used here in England they still run you 35K with 100+K miles on! And even more the less miles you go and that's for the basic car.

@@lightbox8019 im not sure on the percentage rate of depreciation over 8 years, but our panamera turbo from 2014 was 156k, bought it earlier this year with 40k miles for 67k. For my sake, I'm glad it depreciated that much. What a car for less than 70k. Yeah, it ain't new and some of the tech is a little old. But, if you frame it in your mind as it HAD been new with the latest tech at one point, it's a smoking deal.

people, the panamera and cayenne aint gonna go away. This is how porsche makes money, some rich women wanna have a big fucking car when they go to their local farmers market and buy their ultra-natural-organic foods..... but it gives porsche money to build more cars....

Love this car, just did a test drive an decided to buy it from a local dealer. 30k+ euros for a 9 years old panamera turbo s. Can't wait to drive it daily :D

You can get Executive with either GTS or turbo. The CLS and 7-series are much smaller inside than Panamera, and quite a bit cheaper too. Dont think many people cross shop those.

I win the lottery, I'm buying a Panamera. I think they would be great for long distance road trips. Comfortable, quiet, fast as you dare and probably easy to drive and cruise in. For those of you that don't like it's looks, it's a 4 door sedan that holds four people and made for long drives or cruising. You can put your family and your dog in it and take a long drive with your luggage. You can also drive it to and from the grocery store and just throw your groceries, imported beer and fine quality wines in the back and go home with a big smile on your face. It's not a sports car, but a sporty and practical 4 person sedan that can go like crazy if you want to. You can probably cruise at 100 + MPH all day long in this car. It's not supposed to be a 911 or a 918. It's still a Porsche and one of the best engineered and highest quality cars on the market.

+garyhope2 the Panamera is a poor family hauler since it lacks a bench seat in the back. Cayenne makes sense because Porsche was tired of Porsche owners buying a 911 and then having to buy a Chevy or Ford to tow their 911 to the track or daily drive they Che-ord and 911 saw once a month duty. Cayenne makes sense, 5 passenger, AWD, giant trunk (for a Porsche), 7,700 lbs towing, it fills all niches. Now you can daily drive your Porsche and have another Porsche for weekends. Very smart Porsche. Panamera doesn't make sense. There is no niche. So what is this for? A family hauler that doesn't hauls a full family? And the Macan makes even less sense. Porsche should have stopped at the Cayenne.

Can't decide between these two options :) And to be honest neighter in Sweden nor in any other country is 300k $ for a car cheap... You cannot say that this affects everyone but almost 90% of the worlds population will never be abel to own such a car... Just saying. And yes Americans do belive that their gas is expensive, but that is something completely different than the car price.. Car prices normaly saty about the same. But the gas prices in the US have increased a lot. So for example, 15 years ago, you got 1 gallon for like 50 cents. now 15 years later it kosts like 3.50$. That might not seem alot for Europeans, i know that since im from germany. But that is like a 3 dollar increase... We in germany also get "more" expensive gas now but hours only increased by like 90 cents ish. You know it is not always the pure amount of money that counts... It always depens on how much you could get for that money a couple of years ago. I'm not bitching or so but your reasoning is pretty dumb. Ik that your/our gas prices are way more expensive than the ones in the US but you need to understand that minimum wage and the average income in the US is way lower than ours. Just keep that in mind when talking about stuff like this :)

great review matt, it was reminiscent of the older, longer smoking tire reviews. U seem like a busy guy so its nice to have a longer review this time around.

Some have compared the Panamera to the 928. They both have a V8, both are terrifyingly fast for their respective eras, both have a somewhat ugly rear end, and both are complete luxury cars. I think it does work as a Porsche, and I hope that one day they'll make a smaller Panamera Turbo coupé and call it the "928 Panamera" kind of like the "718 Cayman/Boxster". Porsche makes fantastic sports cars, and fantastic SUVs, and fantastic Saloons, they need to get back into the GT car business; make something to compete against the Aston Martin DB9, the Ferrari FF, the Maserati Gran Tourismo. They'd blow them all out of the water with a 2-door Panamera with the engine from the Normal Panamera Turbo.

@ThomasFerrugia

Joshua Kebschull To a certain extent, that's true. Styling is subjective and there may be design elements that lead people with different aesthetic tastes to draw opposing conclusions. However, in this case, you either know little about automotive styling, or are a Porsche apologist. Like the Pontiac Aztek, this car is so badly proportioned that its design crosses the line from controversial to just plain tacky. Recall that the Panamera's original silhouette had a tapered roofline, however it was changed late in the development process due to a directive from the VW president (who stands 6'4"). The car was never supposed to look the way it does - a mess of unresolved elements, inelegant roof-line, and a big hunched-back hatch unceremoniously tacked to the rear. This car is a design flop. If it weren't for people who imagine ANYTHING from Porsche is somehow, by magic, perfect and just want to be seen driving the brand, no one would have bought this terd on wheels.

I really enjoy your channel and your work. TheSmokingTire This or the 911 C4S for daily driving? I figure you can get them for about the same price used. New is not an option for me until later on in my 30's and 40's. RIght now I have a COBB tuned '13 WRX STI sedan (400+bhp) with redone/upholstered interior (because it was crap quality). It is set up more for handling and better feel than raw power. I am keeping that forever as of now, but gives you an idea of what I like. Two awesome daily drivers is better to me than a crap winter beater and a supercar. lol Cheers! Looking forward to more episodes.

"Not the candy and bacon you were probably expecting" Ha!

Good review. One thing you didn't bring up, though, is that it is more a hatchback/wagon than a standard sedan. With the back seats down, it could hold as much stuff as certain suv's. A nice alternative to an E-class or Volvo wagon.

I agree with you, it is probably the best traditional hybrid out there, but it's still not as refined feeling as a Tesla or my Volt.

Love it!

Very great presentation for a very great car.

the old one was a turbo S, actually, but that notwithstanding, the new one has some new body work, headlights, tail lights, the overhead view camera, and a few other options.

Another spectacular review. You always offer great perspective and good old-fashioned common sense points such as how to best order one. Keep at it Matt, sounds like Porsche took notice with how nicely they treated you! Here's hoping more manufacturers start to feel the same way!

im starting to like the looks of it more each day, that colour looks very cool

Since over two years i´m driving the Panamera Turbo s and i still love. especially the ceramic Brakes. Driving on the german Autobahn in traffic it´s a nice safety item. 3000 launches? Lamborghini and Ferrari hardly do one Launch without serious damages to clutch or gearbox ;)

A porsche engineer told me that the oil issue has everything to do with how the car is broken in. Most owners will properly break their cars in, the seals will set properly, and it will be fine. Some press cars get the shit kicked out of them the second they roll off the line, so they dont set right and will burn some oil. Makes sense, actually.

Matt I love your videos man, very cool. The new Panamera Turbo is truly a great car. Not the prettiest car in the drawer, but definitely a well executed all-around driver with room for 4 adults. Well done! BTW, do you still drive your C5?

it was determined that the last one wasn't properly broken in so the seals weren't as good as they could have been. This one was fine (though I only drove it about 200 miles, not the 1500 I went last time)

ahhh that sound!

Love the car and the scenery.

Good Review and quite accurate as an owner

i love the hatchback, gives it character

if i had the means, i would get one in a heart beat. great looking car.
