When auto manufacturers poll their focus groups, they don't list specific technologies. They ask if their buyers think "technology" is important. When focus groups inevitably say "I love technology," they're thinking of parallel park assist and radar cruise. German engineers, however, seem to think they mean "I love touch-enabled air vents"

[@derbigpr500]

I'm pretty sure no engineer with any importance in Porsche cares or ever thought about that air vent. It's a totally irrelevant aspect.

[@MyOldNameWasTaken]

@@derbigpr500 i think you are mistaken. That normally irrelevent turned "necessary" feature is now a big profit for the automaker once it stops working properly. Power heated and cooled moving seats? Power tilt and telescoping steering wheels? Radar enabled cruise control and lane assist/ safety braking? Lots of these things that would normally be manual/ not included in a car are now included not just to add a higher price tag (and more things to profit off of once the vehicle is sold) but also a big source of income in parts for the manufacturer and labor for the dealerships. Once one of these things fail, they don't just stop working. You get a CONSTANT nagging every single time you start the vehicle at best and at worst they start affecting other systems and disable normal operation of the vehicle. The engineers aren't adding these features because you think they are out of touch. They are adding features for profit. Everything is thought of in these products, especially in the more premium vehicles. I feel like the average car enthusiast underestimates how far a car maker will go to increase revenue.

I'll be honest its its the rs6, rs7, m8, and the gt4door. You could technically add in the G90 wagon as well with the e63 wagon.

[@diqster]

I have the Turbo S e-hybrid version of the Panamera, and I can say that it's a fantastic family car. Little kids can get in and out of the rear seats easily on their own. No giant SUV ride height to deal with. There's tons of cargo room in the rear for trips to Costco, Home Depot, etc. The PHEV aspect of it makes it great for quick trips in town for the school drop-off/pick-up, then to soccer practice, then to the birthday party, etc. When you're taking all those short trips, the EV part really shines! Yes, the cracked rotor PCCB brakes are nuts. So is the PVT Plus, 4 wheel steering, PASM, etc. It's all over the top, but it JUST WORKS when you use it all. Or just turn it all off and slam your right foot down to the floor and act like a hoon. Just don't be late picking up the kids.

[@kabob21]

I wouldn't bother speccing a Panamera with any of those extra performance options. It's just extra cost that doesn't get used. I've honestly never seen a Panamera at the track but plenty of Caymans/Boxsters/911. Heck, even the occasional Macan.

[@TheSirviceroy]

I remember meeting drivers of these when ice driving in Finland. They were drivers for German executives who had meetings across Germany and worked in them whilst being driven at 300km/h on the autobahn. This works out faster than taking flights, so you guys were spot on, that is the target market!

@@pettersaethre true, but driving long distances every single day can't be healthy, I'd argue the risks of getting into accident rises, let alone going those speeds (300km/h). I'd pick a first class flight over that IF I am an executive (as flight tickets are also tax deductible).

[@reynoldsaristeia6260]

Personally my dream car in terms of what I would want to own as a daily driver(even if it isn't everyone's cup of tea). - Goes fast enough, can go around a corner, carries bigger things if needed, is quiet and can do +300 miles without any charging or breaks. The rear of that car makes me drool every time I see it. Regrettably I can only keep on dreaming. But until that happens, I'll continue enjoying SG videos and save up money for an MX-5 Miata.

The digital vent control wins the award of the dumbest idea in the automotive IT tech to date. It's not like that digital control saves you any space because you still have a physical vent with physical blades (or whatever they're called). The only thing it does is make it harder to adjust the vent because the physical blades don't move in real time, and the digital representation seems to a bit laggy, so I'd imagine it may take more than one attempt to set the vent to the right position sometimes. It doesn't SOLVE any problems (no space saved, no improvement in the easy of adjustment). Are people who design this kind of crap into cars total morons, or do they think buyers are? Boy these gimmicks are going to age well.

As a Panamera owner, I sort of agree. That said, you can set the vents to Diffuse mode and they will slowly move to circulate air around the cabin. It's a nice thing versus just having the air blow on you all the time or next to you all the time. It's just...there. I'm kinda surprised that Porsche didn't tie it into the GPS to automatically switch to recirculating air or close the center vents when driving into a city center (pollution control).

We live in central Minnesota where it routinely gets to -20F in the winter and an all electric vehicle just isn’t practical. Both range issues and lack of charging infrastructure. I looked at a 4S Taycan seriously but, realized for many months of the year I wouldn’t be able to drive to Minneapolis and back without charging during the trip. This car allows me to get over a 1000 miles on a tank of gas during warmer months ( I live 5 miles from work) and can go days without the engine coming on but, can do launch control when the itch gets me. The ride, luxury features, etc are added benefits and this is about the only vehicle out there which checked all the boxes. I learned a lot from your video, especially when you two were under the car discussing technical features. I’m a new subscriber to the Chanel now. Thanks again Phil P. Little Falls,Mn

+1.. savagegeese reviews are the Gold Standard. .. As a lifelong owner of Porsche sports cars I don't get the PAG boards "Go" decision ala the Panamera series. . Take a glance at the lines resale dump! . Resale is diametrically opposed to its sports cars. ... Signed, a '98 Carrera C2S original owner.

If you're worried about resale then you shouldn't be buying it. If you're not buying it, why does it bug you?

I have always liked the Panamera and this one is calling my attention. I hope to be able to afford one down the road. (:

[@ogmechsftw]

Interesting, I always saw the Panamera as an upscale version of an M5. I never really thought to compare it with the S-Class of all things.

[@ii_dynasty]

It's typically a m8 and gt4door rival with the rs7.

This car is a microcosm of the modern world: incredible technology that's of marginal utility and out of touch with the reality that we live in.

What a beautiful and badass car... and who knew that Mexico had such lush and colorful vegetation in the autumn months!

[@davem9833]

I hit 160 MPH in a 2011 Panamera Turbo years ago (launch control was activated). It scared the shit out of my friends. Everyone in the car, including myself, made those down syndrome seal noises that Mark released at 17:25. These are seriously fast cars that are simultaneously spirited and clinical. I have no idea what the newer Panamera's are like to drive, but I don't think the personality of the car has evolved much. They're capable and surprisingly reliable for a German car. I'd always play the douche card and park it with the rear wing up. Don't ask why. I guess cause' I'm a douche? If you like to wife swap, desire capability that you'll never use, and need people to know you are financially capable, this is the car for you.

Porsche has been developing their vehicles on the n.burg ring forever. I think this is where it gets its duel personality. The ring itself has a duel personality. It's where a lot of these German rigs get that duel personality.

Just started cross shopping utilitarian wagons and CUVs from the 80k+ OEMs. Really like the idea of keeping my hybrid environmental street cred intact and the Panamera e-Hybrid really seems to fit the bill. Love the comprehensive review. Please review the Lexus UXe when it comes out!

Those rear seats are the largest out of any sedan in my opinion. I'm 6'3 and could easily fit very confortably. Just get the alcantera seats as those are really comfy.

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

The seats might be, but the legroom is atrocious for a car designed to compete with an S-Class.

[@cooldog8856]

@@OMGWTFLOLSMH I actually find the seats in the S-Class less comfortable with similar legroom.

I was very interested to see this review. This was the least reliable car I've ever owned. While it worked, it felt like a thing of beauty on the road, performance wise... while it worked. It didn't work correctly often. Porsche was my dream car all through my childhood. I would never own another. The car is for people who want to spend 10s of thousands a year on maintenance, and have another car to drive while it sits in the shop. Additionally, the car doesn't lend itself to being one you can bond with and work on yourself. Not that you can't... you can. But it rewards (if rewards is the word) the owner who can ask no questions and drop the car off at a dealer to be worked on under warranty, and have no care when it is fixed. Additionally, multiple fixes on the same issues are a constant. Online reviews show the 970 V8 as a mostly reliable vehicle. I can understand the sentiment, but owners who are not reporting their ownership via rose tinted glasses, will most likely honestly disagree.

[@robcohen7678]

did it really cost 10s of thousands a year on regular maintenance while in warranty? Or did you buy one second hand?

[@johnguidetti5839]

Just say you bought a second hand lemon & move on. A new car in warranty does not cost 10’s of thousands a year in maintenance!

[@jevononeal]

Unfortunately it did. I got a 970, not a 971, which is what is being reviewed here. But the 970 was consistently reviewed as being more reliable due to less added ancillary tech.

[@kiranmuthappa5009]

Great music and of course, great car.

[@gregsullivan7408]

That digital vent is interesting. Yep - probably overkill, but a) it looks better without any tabs or wheels etc, and b) it may improve air flow a bit. I don't adjust vents very often, so I'd be ok with it.

[@machtschnell7452]
