Porsche Panamera (2009 - 2016) 3.6 V6 PDK (13-) 4d Owner Review

There's nothing to dislike about this car. I've previously owned several 911s and the Panamera pulls off the commendable task of feeling very similar to a 911 from the driving seat. Unusually, I bought the V6 petrol car so it accelerates to 62mph in 6.1 seconds. This is slow by Porsche standards but is exactly the same as my first 911 Carrera of 1983. It just feels alive when being driven. I specified lots of special smooth leather with the interior trim painted the same colour as the outside of the car (dark blue) and reclining individually air conditioned rear seats. I included soft closing doors, adaptive cruise control and cameras all round which give a helicopter view. It just makes me smile every time I get in and its my car for life. I love the shape - those who criticise it just don't understand German style - just look at German railway engines, buses and anything that's styled, and you see elements of the Panamera.
