Porsche Panamera (09 on) - Review

As you'd expect of a car at this price, the Panamera is well equipped although it's surprising that things such as a rear wiper and floor mats aren't standard.

Porsche Panamera accessories

There's a lengthy list of optional extras including a variety of interior colour and material finishes, allowing new buyers to personalise their car. Further options added to the Panamera since 2011 include in-car wireless internet access and a Lane Change Assist system adapted from the Cayenne, displaying a warning signal in the driver’s wing mirror if there is a vehicle in the car’s blind spot.
