I ordered my 2018 Chalk on black 4S. It was listed at 130,000 but had 4k miles on it so im getting it for 105,888. I recommend getting it slightly used to save 20, 30k

[@CommandoMaster]

Nobody in their right mind buys new cars anymore.

[@NovieBigSad]

Incredible review. Very thorough, well presented and interesting. Great work, Mark. You are becoming one of my favourite KZbin presenters!

[@kyleburns9439]

I'm glad you didn't skip over all the points on practicality with this car. Too many reviewers group this with essentially sports cars, and don't give any insight into how well rounded the Panamera really is. Good Job!

[@TheKiing81]

I like this guy. Really good reviewer passionate honestly upfront and not afraid to share how he truly feels without being one-sided.. The porsche is the next class up from the 7-a8-sclass....it should be competing with Ferrari ff/Bentley continental speed/merc s600

[@kushil]

subed this channel for Carlos, but this guy is really good too.

[@Spartan168]

lets not get carried away with that statement. above an s class? really? its on par with those cars, definitely not above. you can get an E63 with over 600hp and everything the panamera has. and thats not even the S63

[@1ce2berg]

@@Spartan168 if u have driven both u would know the Porsche is on another level lol

[@_TheWerewolf]

I watched the Camry review with this guy in it. In this review he's like 500X more enthusiastic about this car lmao

[@geethsan1567]

I'd have a really tough time choosing between a 911 C4S and a Panamera 4S because I love them both equally.

[@kugsworld]

This review is the best Panamera rereview I have ever seen. Thanks a lot.

[@zaphod2]

Superb review, well done sir.

[@piotr2951]

Amazing review, really good job.

[@edmundscars]

Thank you!

[@breakdown4862]

Just bought the 4s today. Price was $126,000 got it for $98k with 2200 miles.

[@Jazz-331]

Just curious how it’s working out? Any mechanical issues?

[@breakdown4862]

Lance Fisk so far so good man up to 10k miles and none at all

[@Jazz-331]

Breakdown Great to hear!!!

[@cavsoldier1988]

Great review and reviewer!!! I like how he explained and expressed why he liked or disliked features! Well done sir!

[@nicholassmith7048]

Well the previous gen Panamera only had one front cupholder so Porsche has increased cup storage by 100%!

[@whitemailprivilege2830]

I love the restyling.

[@lexusfan100]

you dont need to worry about blind spot if your side mirrors are properly aligned to view blind spot

[@croymanny7757]

nice but i still like the old body style

[@OjavierMD]

Oh! Hi Mark!: Just a couple of thing that wanted to point out. Yes the Panamera 4S is 2.9 lt Twin Turbo V6, doing 440 HP, No, there is no 4S eHybrid, there is a Panamera 4 e Hybrid making 462 HP (330 HP gas engine, 136 Electric), and the other figure you are mentioning is the Panamera Turbo S eHybrid, doing the aforementioned 660 HP. Bonkers, yes, but all true. Not hating, just trying to get the facts straight

[@OjavierMD]

Mark Takahashi Yes, 680, but you got to put a first name for it, Turbo S ehybrid, why you might ask, simple, last gen there was a 4s ehybrid. But not this gen. Again, not hating, all good!

[@mattka5354]

Great review! Detailed but not too much talk.

[@edmundscars]

Thanks Matt A!

[@goro4055]

Great reviewer indeed. Compact and very straight forward, also fair.

[@hookjames4426]

My dream car!

[@berniesutton7277]

Buttons - if they aren’t on the steering wheel then you shouldn’t be playing with them while driving, no matter how they are shaped. Pull over, make your changes and then drive off. Same with touch screens. I could never understand why everybody got so excited about a touch screen in a car

[@sebischmitz777]

Great Review!

[@TAEbot]

140k... Holy moly!

[@GuillotineStare]

Is there any handbag space? My boy Carlos wants to know. Thanks Eddie!

[@edmundscars]

We have to be lookin' out for the ladies too, my friend! Thanks for watching!

[@GuillotineStare]

LOL All good! We all appreciate the efforts to make informative content for us. I like to to look out for the Honeys also.

[@wittytech7288]

how do they click buttons in teslas?

[@erikhertzer8434]

Excellent review and reviewer

[@toh3211]

I have 2 words to describe this car too.... Very Expensive

[@porscheguy09]

The optional 4+1 seating is only available on the Sport Turismo and not available on the standard Panamera sedan. Regardless it's a waste and no matter who sits there even if it's a little kid, the seating would be very cramped. I'm not sure why Porsche even offers it.

[@JamesSmith-sw3nk]

Where is Carlos? ..Carlos is the best host!

[@locutusv1]

I was going to buy it but not having the skip button 🙄 did it for me.

[@jp550x6]

Great review.

[@larrystanner8176]

Great video

[@davesmith5656]

Cruise controls belong on the steering wheel under your thumbs. If you want sound or phone, reach down to the center console, and keep those off the wheel, please. People buy cars principally to move around town and freeways, not to listen to music or hold conference calls with seniors. If a car does NOT have cruise controls right on the wheel, I don't want it!

[@jmos96]

Great review and reviewer on a car that has proven to have one of the worst dependability records. That's what Porsche needs to improve.

[@eo5436]

No Carlos? Like the Jaguars obtaining Tom Brady and sitting him on the bench.

[@gtr485]

Might be a good M2 replacement.

[@oans84]

Good, but with Carlos it would be GREAT!!!

[@NiTeHaWKnz]

I have to agree that the Sport Turismo looks better then the standard Panamera

[@MStar10]

i disagree , wagonish = old

[@persikii8020]

I thought its Mr. Chow f

[@ubernoob103]

Carlos plz

[@SantanKGhey1234]

total POS... i got rid of my 4S which was a reliability nightmare.. the 2.9 was such a pain to keep running properly... mine spent more time at the dealership than i did driving.... garbage

[@SamuelDrives]

We want Carlos, like if u argee

[@geethsan1567]

This guy is really good too!

[@wadewilson9786]

Samuel Bab argee? WTF is argee? I hit like anyway

[@CarlosLago]

Mark is great

[@esteban75lover23]

Mark Takahashi yes ur great

[@manowar5516]

The rental car of Porches.

[@ALMX5DP]

Man O War what do you even mean by that?

[@sidhu704]

Lol, stupid people say stupid things.

[@awigta4]

he reviews like he wants to sell a cheap Hyundai. chill. it's a Porsche.

[@mansees]

This guy is awful. Where is Carlos ?

[@mansees]

This just proves my point. All you have is canned responses.

[@esteban75lover23]

mansees haha u suck
