    I'd happily buy this car over an audi rs7 or a cls 63 amg or a bmw m6 grand coupe. Those cars will depreciate so quickly if you owned any of those cars for about 3 years then you will sell them for half the price whereas the porsche is more expensive but it holds its value for longer and you won't lose that much money when you come to sell it on.

      True I absolutely love this car never driven one but hopefully one day I will own one used when they come down in value, used here in England they still run you 35K with 100+K miles on! And even more the less miles you go and that's for the basic car.

      @@lightbox8019 im not sure on the percentage rate of depreciation over 8 years, but our panamera turbo from 2014 was 156k, bought it earlier this year with 40k miles for 67k. For my sake, I'm glad it depreciated that much. What a car for less than 70k. Yeah, it ain't new and some of the tech is a little old. But, if you frame it in your mind as it HAD been new with the latest tech at one point, it's a smoking deal.

    Saw this years ago and watched it again today and it is a great review. I have had a Porsche Panamera Turbo from 2014 for 3 years and it is a fantastic car. Drives like a super sports car, but enable me to have the family with me in the car. As a real Porsche should do, it drives amazing in curves and corners.

    people, the panamera and cayenne aint gonna go away. This is how porsche makes money, some rich women wanna have a big fucking car when they go to their local farmers market and buy their ultra-natural-organic foods..... but it gives porsche money to build more cars....
    If porsch just built the 911 and cayman/boxter, theyd end up like aston martin, who has to buy more and more parts from other bigger manufacturers

    It's also a different country, a country that doesn't count "suing people" as a national pastime. Chris is an amazingly talented driver; I would love to have the skills he has. The man races at the Nurburgring. But he also lives in a different part of the world where the rules and the landscape are much different than where I live in Los Angeles.

    I win the lottery, I'm buying a Panamera. I think they would be great for long distance road trips. Comfortable, quiet, fast as you dare and probably easy to drive and cruise in.
    For those of you that don't like it's looks, it's a 4 door sedan that holds four people and made for long drives or cruising. You can put your family and your dog in it and take a long drive with your luggage. You can also drive it to and from the grocery store and just throw your groceries, imported beer and fine quality wines in the back and go home with a big smile on your face.
    It's not a sports car, but a sporty and practical 4 person sedan that can go like crazy if you want to. You can probably cruise at 100 + MPH all day long in this car. It's not supposed to be a 911 or a 918. It's still a Porsche and one of the best engineered and highest quality cars on the market.

      +garyhope2 the Panamera is a poor family hauler since it lacks a bench seat in the back. Cayenne makes sense because Porsche was tired of Porsche owners buying a 911 and then having to buy a Chevy or Ford to tow their 911 to the track or daily drive they Che-ord and 911 saw once a month duty. Cayenne makes sense, 5 passenger, AWD, giant trunk (for a Porsche), 7,700 lbs towing, it fills all niches. Now you can daily drive your Porsche and have another Porsche for weekends. Very smart Porsche. Panamera doesn't make sense. There is no niche. So what is this for? A family hauler that doesn't hauls a full family? And the Macan makes even less sense. Porsche should have stopped at the Cayenne.

    A porsche engineer told me that the oil issue has everything to do with how the car is broken in. Most owners will properly break their cars in, the seals will set properly, and it will be fine. Some press cars get the shit kicked out of them the second they roll off the line, so they dont set right and will burn some oil. Makes sense, actually.

      PorscheSweden See, that comment just showed me that ur probably poor and recive wellfair... Or you are a 12 year old kid.. Can't decide between these two options :)
      And to be honest neighter in Sweden nor in any other country is 300k $ for a car cheap... You cannot say that this affects everyone but almost 90% of the worlds population will never be abel to own such a car... Just saying.
      And yes Americans do belive that their gas is expensive, but that is something completely different than the car price.. Car prices normaly saty about the same. But the gas prices in the US have increased a lot. So for example, 15 years ago, you got 1 gallon for like 50 cents. now 15 years later it kosts like 3.50$. That might not seem alot for Europeans, i know that since im from germany. But that is like a 3 dollar increase...
      We in germany also get "more" expensive gas now but hours only increased by like 90 cents ish. You know it is not always the pure amount of money that counts... It always depens on how much you could get for that money a couple of years ago. I'm not bitching or so but your reasoning is pretty dumb. Ik that your/our gas prices are way more expensive than the ones in the US but you need to understand that minimum wage and the average income in the US is way lower than ours.
      Just keep that in mind when talking about stuff like this :)

    Some have compared the Panamera to the 928. They both have a V8, both are terrifyingly fast for their respective eras, both have a somewhat ugly rear end, and both are complete luxury cars. I think it does work as a Porsche, and I hope that one day they'll make a smaller Panamera Turbo coupé and call it the "928 Panamera" kind of like the "718 Cayman/Boxster". Porsche makes fantastic sports cars, and fantastic SUVs, and fantastic Saloons, they need to get back into the GT car business; make something to compete against the Aston Martin DB9, the Ferrari FF, the Maserati Gran Tourismo. They'd blow them all out of the water with a 2-door Panamera with the engine from the Normal Panamera Turbo.

    You need to listen closer, because that's not what I said at all. It's tested to 3,000 launches. That doesn't mean that when you hit 3,0001 it will explode, just that it's been tested to that number. And "only" 3,000 launches isn't really accurate, since 3,000 is a massive number, enough to launch the car every single day of the year for 9 years.

    I go around corners as fast as cars go around corners without breaking traction. That's how I was taught to drive, at racing schools. Drifting is great for showing off, and Chris is a fabulously talented driver, but it's not worth the risk, especially in the US, where you could be sued into homelessness god forbid you hit someone while street drifting. People hand me keys to very expensive cars, expecting I treat them with respect, and it's because I do just that, that I still have a job.

  • @TheSmokingTire

    • @ThomasFerrugia
      @ThomasFerrugia 10 лет назад +7

      Joshua Kebschull To a certain extent, that's true. Styling is subjective and there may be design elements that lead people with different aesthetic tastes to draw opposing conclusions. However, in this case, you either know little about automotive styling, or are a Porsche apologist. Like the Pontiac Aztek, this car is so badly proportioned that its design crosses the line from controversial to just plain tacky. Recall that the Panamera's original silhouette had a tapered roofline, however it was changed late in the development process due to a directive from the VW president (who stands 6'4"). The car was never supposed to look the way it does - a mess of unresolved elements, inelegant roof-line, and a big hunched-back hatch unceremoniously tacked to the rear. This car is a design flop. If it weren't for people who imagine ANYTHING from Porsche is somehow, by magic, perfect and just want to be seen driving the brand, no one would have bought this terd on wheels.

      For some reason what you are saying mirrors that of what many other journalist elitism has to say....is it your opinion or are you taking what others say, dunno.
      What I do know, I see many Panameras, and I like the way it looks, the interior and the tech. Its an engineering piece of work, and if you don't like it, you're entitled to it.

    There are quite a few cars out there, of which the Cayenne and Panamera are both members of the club, where you think the car is ugly right up until you drive it, and then it's so good you no longer care. But saying "everyone" thought it was ugly would imply that its so ugly it wasn't selling, which isn't the case.

    look up the article about the american journalist who blew the engine on a borrowed Porsche 917, and the car's owner literally sued the guy out of his home. He won, and the journalist is now broke. If Chris is willing to take risks like that, great for him, but I don't think it's worth it and I get just as many views without it.

    I agree with you, it is probably the best traditional hybrid out there, but it's still not as refined feeling as a Tesla or my Volt.

  • @TheSmokingTire
    @TheSmokingTire  10 лет назад

    of course, that would be the ideal situation. But you should look into the costs of such things. They are massively cost prohibitive. I made this film for zero dollars. That's how much I had, that's how much I used. All it took was Porsche inviting me to an event, and my own time. Closing roads, renting race tracks, that kind of thing are so expensive that we might as well literally burn money and film that.

    Ignore the price tag on the Volt. No one buys them, everyone leases. And with the gov't incentives and cash back, I leased my volt for $320/month/36/12k and no money down. The MSRP makes it look too expensive, but the lease is so good the overall cost to daily drive it is stupidly cheap. I never stress about running out of juice because the engine is there, and in 1,800 miles I've literally filled it up with gas once. Averaging 102 MPG.

  • @vernonprice5986
    @vernonprice5986 9 лет назад +1

    CTS-V wagon, son. 1/3 the cost of the Panamera turbo, more HP, more torque, and it's faster. And you can get it with a manual transmission. And it runs a sub-8 minute Nurburgring lap so the handling is definitely up to scratch as well.

    You're speaking for a group of people that you don't really have the authority to speak for. My father worked hard to earn his money, just like I worked hard to earn mine. He likes to buy off the lot, I like to custom order. How you've earned your money contributes little to whether or not you enjoy picking options yourself.

    I have never been able to make a VW/Audi box's launch control work twice in a row. I'll launch the car once, and then do it again for the outside shot and it won't work. Same procedure, everything. PDK launches perfectly every single time.

  • @TheSmokingTire
    @TheSmokingTire  11 лет назад

    the old one was a turbo S, actually, but that notwithstanding, the new one has some new body work, headlights, tail lights, the overhead view camera, and a few other options.

  • @TheSmokingTire
    @TheSmokingTire  10 лет назад +1

    I think the closest competitor to the Panamera Turbo is the S63, and I do like it better than that. I like the S8 better than the Panamera though, especially when you take price into consideration.

  • @TheSmokingTire
    @TheSmokingTire  10 лет назад

    Well, ignoring that the Panamera Turbo is about a C7 Corvette more expensive than the Gran Coupe, the Panamera is Faster and has more room in the back. The Gran Coupe is prettier and comes with an optional stick shift. I'll take the M6.

    Also, Matt. 9k is cheap compared to the amount of standard brakes you will go through in the time it takes to wear down one set of PCCB rotors. I work on Porsches, not sell them but I do recommend PCCB on the high performance cars due to them eating brakes at an alarming rate. About 10k miles on a Cayenne Turbo, 20k on a Panamera Turbo and maybe 25k to 30k for a set on the 911 Turbo. Not to mention the bad ass yellow calipers.

  • @TheSmokingTire
    @TheSmokingTire  11 лет назад

  • @TheSmokingTire
    @TheSmokingTire  10 лет назад

    Right, but for $140k you get a car that's so much faster than the 80k car it's a joke. an $80k Carrera would be shat on in a drag race with a $51k base C7 Corvette, whereas a $140k Turbo runs with $400k Aventadors, $300k 12C's, and $400k F12's. Relative to their performance competition, the Turbo is much more competitively priced.

  • @TheSmokingTire
    @TheSmokingTire  11 лет назад

    They sold 30,000 panameras per year since 2009. People who have money and want to spend it can either get past its looks or don't think it's ugly. It's armchair critics who think it's ugly.

    I really enjoy your channel and your work.
    TheSmokingTire This or the 911 C4S for daily driving? I figure you can get them for about the same price used. New is not an option for me until later on in my 30's and 40's.
    RIght now I have a COBB tuned '13 WRX STI sedan (400+bhp) with redone/upholstered interior (because it was crap quality). It is set up more for handling and better feel than raw power. I am keeping that forever as of now, but gives you an idea of what I like. Two awesome daily drivers is better to me than a crap winter beater and a supercar. lol
    Cheers! Looking forward to more episodes.
