Is the Porsche Panamera 4 a better performance sedan to buy?

The Panamera 4 is Porsche's answer to the competition from Audi, BMW, and Mercedes Benz. On the outside it has body lines that make it looked like a stretched 911. On the inside you will be greeted to top quality materials, leather seating, and the perfect steering wheel. Under the hood there is a 3.0L turbo V6 producing 330HP & mated to a PDK transmission. Is the Porsche Panamera 4 the best performance sedan?

Since the panamera badge is black, the wheels are mostly black, and the tail lights are smoked out, the black door handles are a nice touch.😉

It has vents Joe they are active flaps that open up to prioritize aero or cooling. If you take it for a spin and look at the front after you hop out you will see they are open. Porsches never put fake vents on their cars!

Porsche did improve the overall design with the later generation of the Panamera. The first one looks weird because of that high humping back, the second generation does looks better because of the smooth coupé roofline. That's one of the best redesign improvement I've ever seen.

Man, $72K and you don't even have leather on the dash or doorsills. 330hp when Maserati is giving you 424hp from their twin-turbo V6, or even Caddy with their slightly bigger TT V6 at 474hp! I drool over 911s and Cayman GT4, but I would not ever buy a Porsche sedan or SUV; there are far too many options that are far better both above and below the Panamera , Macan, and Cayenne. Now, when it comes to sports cars, Porsche is the pinnacle; however once you are looking at the more every day driver models, you are basically getting the same thing everyone else is selling so why bother with the Porsche?

[@doggedlydetermined7022]

Such an awesome car, I’ve always loved these Panameras. Even with this base engine it’s still plenty of fun and a decent sound too!
