[@weiyan55]

Fantastic Review. I just wish I saw this before I bought my Panamera Turbo. First week of ownership, my coolant pipe essentially detached while I was driving on the highway. All the coolant leaked out and engine overheated. Searched for this issue online, apparently it's a very common issue in not only the Panamera, but also Cayennes. Needs new thermostat, thermostat housing, and coolant lines. 3.5k. Fast forward a year, the air suspension failed in the front. The car was sitting on the struts and could not be driven. I took the car to my independent mechanic to be fixed. I thought I'd save some money with re manufactured struts. Do NOT EVER buy re manufactured struts. Long story short, the reman struts were defective and caused a short in my car's electrical system. After 5 months of diagnosis and repairs at my indy, the car is finally working. I replaced 2 front air struts, air compressor, control module, value block, suspension senors, and fuses, all OEM. The total cost? 9k at an indy shop. Oh and I forgot to mention. Look up this issue, error message "chassis system failure. It's littered across the internet. Air suspension failure is inevitable in these cars. The original parts were not made to last. Porsche updated their air struts parts 3 times since the first model year. Do I love driving this car? Sure, while it works. Is it worth the 15k I have in repair bills in under 2 years? That's food for thought for anyone thinking of picking up one of these used cars for cheap. Oh and btw, my car had 35k miles, was never in a prior accident, and had been warrantied throughout its life by the last owner.

[@hellbent7066]

I bought a Porsche Panamera Turbo about 18 months ago. It had 44k miles on it. The car was beautiful and the maintenance records from the dealer looked good. I thought it was smart to purchased an extended car warranty from CarShield for $6,300 for good measures. It was an absolute false sense of security. Horrible mistake. 3 months later the cam adjusters on the engine self-destructed. The Porsche dealer said it will cost $4,200 to repair them. I happily called CarShield thinking "good thing I got that policy." Them m!&f!#s denied the claim. OMG! They said they don't cover anything that associated with broken bolts even if it was a covered part. What??! I had to fix it out of pocket. 2 weeks later the Coolant sensor went out. A $900 repair. Them "blankety blanks" denied that too. In essence, NOTHING is covered, because the fine print gives them the right to deny just about anything. You can't even sue them! That's in the fine print too! Happy to say I cancelled the policy. Fortunately, 1 month later Porsche initiated a recall on that part and will refund my money. Other than that, I've had no other problems and I still love this car. It cost $3200 if Porsche replace your brakes. I did it myself for $300. Oil change cost $400. I did it myself for $75. Overall I would say the Panamera Turbo is a great car. It's definitely a crowd pleaser. You can't even go to a gas station without getting complemented. Just be aware that maintenance is extremely high unless you can do most of it yourself. And good luck finding a extended warranty company that won't rob you and will actually approve your claim when you file one.

[@bostonsown8195]

[@hardyphenom2491]

you can get the porsche approved warranty, they cost about 1700 € ;)

[@mssqmac]

Thank you! I was planning to purchase soon but wanted to have an idea of maintenance cost.

[@jaycvu]

Should have called a lawyer, a $300 lawyer letter would have saved you all that money. The extended warranty companies are a pain to deal with....

[@inox1ck]

Well it's a very expensive car so you still need a lot of money to afford the maintenance. Other than the insurance fraud it turned out well for you. I appreciate Porsche made a recall.

[@Vik470]

Just last week a used car salesman was showing me a 2013 Panamera 4S - 123,000 km done. I didn't drive it, but he was going on and on as to how great the car is. Showed me the air suspension as well. He is selling it for $31,000 ... The interior is quite good, no doubt, but the cost of maintenance will be beyond my budget. Hence, I walked away from it. Your video just confirmed my decision. Thank you Very much.

[@mcneillshane]

I bought a 2011 Panamera 4 in May 2017. In nearly 3 years of ownership, it has been very disappointing. The first problem was the window switch. It flew off and I had to tear apart the door panel to replace it. Then the oil pressure regulator valve went bad about 5 months after I bought it. That was almost $800 to repair. Fortunately, I don't recall any repairs in 2018. I bought the car with about 86k miles on it. Today, it has 155k miles. In that span, it has cost me over $7k in repairs and I have more to do. In all fairness, some of the repairs are routine maintenance. Some of the expenses include (approximate): $1100 - ignition coil and oil pressure valve $600 - second key and diagnosis $960 - diagnosis and two front tires (not to mention a 140 mile tow bill because the car doesn't have a spare tire $350 - door lock actuators (replaced 3 of the 4) (eBay parts) $160 - blower motor (Porsche quote $600, I did the work myself with a part from eBay) $2200 - front brakes $420 - rear tires (bought slightly used tires from eBay to save about $600) $489 - bought part for driveshaft support (center support bearing is a common problem) $256 - transmission oil pan to fix leak (just the parts) I haven't had the driveshaft support part or the transmission oil pan installed yet. Expecting about $500-$1k to get those two things done. Many of these parts are those I searched for on eBay or elsewhere to save money. I've done a LOT of work myself wherever I could. Doing these things have saved me, literally, many thousands of dollars. For example, I've been quoted $1800 to replace the transmission oil pan and about $2500 to replace the driveshaft. As you can see, the parts are FAR cheaper and the labor is really not that intense. And then there is today. Had my check engine light checked out and it looks like I need a thermostat. I was quoted almost $1k for that. Then there is a faulty TPMS sensor and air bag light. Porsche quoted me $2200 to replace the passenger seat frame to fix the air bag light. I love the car but I've been nothing but terribly disappointed in the amount of repairs that it has required. It's not me. Do research on these problems and you'll find that they are common for the Panamera. Oh. I didn't even mention the front end assembly. That's about $5k repair and most people seem to be like me and just live with the crunching noise in cold weather. It sounds like the car is going to fall apart when you go over a speed bump. For $100k car, I expect a much more reliable car. I'm extremely disappointed.

[@PSXuploads]

What do you mean with front end assembly, what needs reparing for that?

[@dw4245]

Just like everything in life, half of what you hear is exaggerated, both good and bad. Panameras are no better or worse than almost any car in their own price category. I bought a 1 owner 2012 Panamera turbo in 2020 with 14,000 miles. Actually owned by an older lady that only drove it in summer to the country club. Paid only 1/4 the MSRP and I thought I was golden with low miles, but had some of the "typical" issues that Panameras have. I spent another $10k to fix it at Porsche but that's the crap-shoot you take with anything you buy. Will something break again, yes, would I do it all over again, Hell Yes! I'm still shocked that I could ever own a $171,400 vehicle that can still keep up with or beat 99% of the cars on the road, gets 20mpg and cost the same as a 2023 Kia to insure. Life is far too short to worry about every little issue that someone online can come up with. If you ever get the chance to drive a Panamera, especially a turbo or turbo S, you'll want one and never look back.

[@jupiter22177]

Love your reviews. You do a fantastic job. the best reviews i have seen.

[@losoulblocka0524]

No doug

[@Eeeishhh]

Something seriously over looked here is the depreciation of this type of car. I bought one, then had some problems with it and asked Porsche to buy it back from me. (the suspension broke plus I had some minor panel beating issues which were self inflicted.) The money they offered (after all repairs were done and paid for) was 55% of what I had paid them 15 months earlier... In other words the car depreciated by 45% in 15 months. Mechanical issues can be overcome by buying the car with a Porsche motorplan but the depreciation issue is not avoidable . So be warned

Best way to buy any foreign high performance vehicles is from a desler as a certified pre owned and usually get a 2 year warranty- costs more but you can’t afford to fix these cars otherwise.

For Americans (like myself) that are thinking there were no Panameras with a manual, they manufactured base model V6 Panameras for the European market with manuals. The PDK transmission MUST be serviced regularly as it is prone to failure if not properly serviced. You also forgot to mention the Burmester sound system, which is the actual premium option for the audio system.

I have the 2012 Panamera S Hybrid. I bought it used from a Porsche dealership. I keep having the Hybrid System Failure code come on and go off since I've had it. I replaced the regular battery within a month of purchasing it. I spent $1000 with the battery and reprogramming. I keep taking it back and they keep saying they don't know why it's happening. Do you have any clue. Also my engine had to be taken out because of the rear engine oil seal was leaking. Porsche of North America covered the cost. I love the car but I hate these problems and don't feel 100% confident about it. It drives amazing.

[@puffrooster]

I'm glad I watched this. I just discovered Porsche stopped putting the naturally aspirated V8 engine in the Panamera GTS so if I want one now I will have to buy used. They were all bought up by Porsche enthusiasts in 2016 and I can't even find one for sale in Canada. The NA V8's have the best exhaust note of all the Panameras' and for the cost and trouble of owning this car, it should sound really good too.

[@ZDY66666]

If you really care about exhaust notes, I'd recommend you to look at 981 and 991.1 generation instead! Unless you dislike high screaming sound and prefer low grumbling sound (which I mean is very valid although I never understood why ppl liked the sound of being more similar to a tractor)

[@ZDY66666]

Never knew Porsche enthusiasts even cared about the panamera. The typical criticism is "Panamera is not a real Porsche!" Glad to see them receiving some love in your area. I'm in Toronto myself, plenty of v8 panamera going around. Mostly bought out by international students and immigrants and rest by actual executives or entrepreneurs.

[@daveh9551]

Same for the 2010 4S. I got lucky and got one for a good price and the guy selling it had already gotten two hits within 20 minutes of posting on Cargurus . Porsche screwed itself by going with that turbo V6 BS on the newer models. Turbo or not, you cant justify paying all of that money for a V6.

Second, make sure you go over the car very carefully, check every button, every electric component (multiple times) and ask for a maintenance report from the car logs as well as receipts for work done at a Porsche service center. I'd consider ANY repairs done outside of that to be questionable at best.

Subscribed, though I would never buy a German car in the U.S.

What about the hybrid model issues

[@talknuff]

Bose is the standard, burmester is the upgraded sound system

[@Crazy8video]

Bose is not standard my friend. I have a 2015 GTS Priced at 130,000 and Bose was not even in it even with all that money for the car. I am currently looking for an option to upgrade the stereo system now because of it.

@6:30 oil change after 8000 km?

[@milanstojkovich1503]

Buying a used one with 40-50k miles would it be a safe buy or not ? If maintenance records are on point and no obvious issues ? Thoughts ?

[@elringa2617]

Did u get it?

[@majdalfahad909]

I'm planning to buy Panamera turbo 2012 4.8 L ! What do you think about that engine?

[@kaijorgensen6940]

Not that you asked me, but. All panameras (all engines) from 2009-2014 have a defective thermostat housing, where the coolant tubes were sealed with an epoxy and no other form of clamp. Over time, they begin to erode and cause a major coolant leak that can blow the engine, and if it doesn’t is not a cheap fix. The cool thing, in 2015 Porsche released a new housing with a flange and bolt fixing the issue and it is unsurprisingly retorfittable. So, when you are looking for one try to find out if that’s been done, if not, you can do it yourself for under $500 in parts and likely not too much more from a mechanic. The other issue are the crankshaft bolts of 2009-2011 I believe, and Porsche has a recall on ALL models. I’ve also heard that if the engine is blown due to the crank shaft bolts shearing Porsche will replace the engine ymmv. Ultimately an ounce of prevention is worth literally thousands in cure (repair). Also, being a Porsche, those CPOS are fantastic.

It’s a damn shame these cars don’t last but it makes sense, I mean when you think about it the average rich guy is not going to keep this car past 2 years so in a way it does make sense they’re just robbing rich people with an inferior product masking it in a beautiful package rich people are not looking up the reliability of this car us poor people are lmao it’s unfair it’s unfair tears 😭 tears 😭

[@alextogo8367]

If luxury cars were built to last, the poor still wouldn't be able to afford it since it wouldn't depreciate so much in value.

[@samirpatel554]

Did manual come to US?

[@rayleung5756]

[@jfloop77]

@different car review : What sporty limousine would you recommend for dynamic drive without having to sell an arm and leg on maintenance and fixes?

[@Ice2Crocodile]

[@concernedliberal4453]

I want the ultra-rare V8 Panamera with a manual transmission. Possibly the first German muscle car!

[@dominic7114]

german muscle cars have been around since the 70s with AMG

[@luciuschrist6929]

Shit dude ,I love your accent

[@sabelondlovu6901]

[@kestutistama2479]

Pretty cool car for daily. 🤔

[@jambrand3708]

Checking out this review 4 a friend who lives in Canada and is interested in the Panamera.

[@rebelsouljaz]

Why not just watch it himself? Does he not have internet?

[@mlc7million]

Cool thanks!

[@RajSingh-ls8kd]

How do we shy away from the suspension and get a standard suspension???

[@Oakbeast]

There are full coil over replacement kits with error modles that you can use if you want to replace the suspension with natural support system. cost you around 2K

[@stephenpato5524]

No points about the base 3.6 V6 🙁

[@cudiedgar]

971 version please

[@aminmin7522]

Panamera turbo 970 ??

[@bigmacdaddy1234]

You have to be nuts to buy this car used without a warranty. It is a money pit and no aftermarket warranty will cover you. You are better off buying a new car with a full warranty.
