I test drove it (P Turbo). Wasn't too crazy about it. I believe BMW still make better "sport" sedans, so I'd get an M5.

Don't track mine, but I have put nearly 50k miles on it since Feb. '10.

I have an S, I mostly drive it in Sport mode as it can be lazy otherwise. It's heavy and big but doesn't feel like it. I've had to swerve at high speeds to miss road debris and the car never flinched. Solid through and through. Had some minor technical issues in the beginning but nothing recently.

Would I like a Turbo? I thought I did for a long time. Now I think I'd be happy with a GTS. I will likely drive my S for 2 more years and will see after that. Chances are I will have another Panny. It's just that good.

My father wanted to change his jag xj 8 my 2005 for pan. 4s. We drove it and were very dissapointed. It is just too heavy for 400hp. And when you release brake car starts with second gear and it feels even heavier. But it looks very nice inside and all materials are good quality. So i recommended only turbo version.

Panamera is a technical powerhouse but who cares if Quasimodo could run with Bolt in the 100 metres ? Its still Quasimodo ...

I've owned a Pana Turbo and a Pana S. I loved both cars. I thought they were awkward looking at first, but after a while I got to liking the looks. I thought the Turbo was a beast. I posted on a couple threads where I ran it agains a 2009 Turbo, and I staying almost with the car all the run. Guy that owned the car was pissed, and he was pushing about 550 HP. The rear wheel S was more fun to drive, and the 400 Hp was more than you needed. With all that said, I have a red Pana GTS on order with the black and deviated stitching. Can't wait to get it. You will not go wrong. The quality of the car is well beyond and Bimmer or Mercedes. There is just no comparison.
