Lookin at a slightly used Rapide 11'.... what do you guys think?
I have had a porsche panamera turbo (liked but too many probs).... a audi r8 (too small for my liking but perfect car)...now im looking at a Rapide...

Anybody have any opinions on quality, performance, and long term use of a Rapide? I plan on keeping it atleast for a year or two.... What do you guys think bout dep? As bad as a porsche or worst???

Thanks

i saw one at the dealership when i was looking at some vantages. looks really lovely, especially when compared to the panamera. however i heard performance wise the porsche is better. the backseat is a little cramp for my taste, but then again i'm around 6 feet.

Depreciation wise it is good (1000 miles in the uk for 30-40k £ under new price) sound is good and looks as well. Sportiness is for P Turbo and space as well. You can have a great deal on a great car

You're looking close to a 335i BMW in terms of performance though, if that is of any concern to you...

I don't know about Oh-Pee, but if I had a Rapide to blat around in, I wouldn't even care a tiny bit whether or not some BMW could keep up

Porsche is faster and more spacious.

Rapide is built as well, much nicer place to be and sounds amazing. My dad has had his nearly 18 months and loves it.

Watchrabbit is an unknown quantity at this point
Had mine now for 4 months, coming from a V8v. Friend of mine has a Panamera Turbo. Yes, the Panamera will be faster, wouldn't care though. This are sport limousines, not racing cars.
Love mine, and the sound is the best in the whole AM range right now.
