Thanks for making this informative and interesting review 👍 I think this is an amazing value under 40K with performance and luxury like this is hard to beat.
Hey thank you so much for tuning in! It certainly is an incredible car for the money. Classier than a BMW... I have 15 reviews on here if you'd like more. Thanks for watching!!!
I own a 2012 turbo, it’s not my daily driver. It’s my go have fun car. It’s expensive to maintain but extremely fun to break out and let loose car. Preface this in every review. As they depreciate there will be more being seen
Niceee!! They are incredible cars. Really different/nicer than a BMW. Glad you're loving it. I wonder how cheap the Turbos will drop in the next couple years... Thanks for watching!!!
Nice!! Thanks for the info! That seems like a good deal, to have some proper paddles.. Unfortunately, I only rented the car for a day to do this review! It was an impressive car, and I can't wait to drive more Porsche products in the future. They are amazing. Thanks so much for watching!!!
After watching EVERY Panamera review on YT, I've yet to find one reviewer that has put anytime into researching available options (with the exception of The Smoking Tire") . The first gen Turbos weren't meant to be a "muscle car". They are high end executive autobahn cruisers with a crap load of power. If you want traditional paddle shifters then order the Sports steering wheel. There's literally 8 quintillion options available (thank you Throttle House) This guy should stick to renting BMWs that every teenager has and leave the Porsches to those who appreciate quality. As far as Turo, any Panamera owner that would rent out there turbo doesn't give a crap about it. Twin Turbos make "jet engine sounds", dope!
Yeah I feel you! I do think it's an amazingly incredible car. It just seems a shame to me that every car didn't receive that steering wheel, but I can't fault them for trying something different I suppose! Just threw me off, being used to regular paddles. Thanks a bunch for watching and commenting!!! I do love Porsches, and would like to learn more about them..
I own a panamera turbo with the same steering wheel, paddle shifters are great but you can drive the same using the steering buttons plus you can manually shift up and down with one hand. Porsche offer a sports steering wheel with paddleshifters but you lose any steering volume controls. The seats are perfect you didn't adjust them, the bolsters grip like a vice. My previous car eas a 7 series BMW the Porsche build quality is so much better than BMW. Its an excellent daily.
Thanks for the insights as an owner! Given time to adapt to the shifting setup, I'm sure it would be fine, even, enjoyable, due to the one-hand shifting, like a McLaren! I was just thrown off, being used to basic paddles. True about the seats; I feel stupid not having adjusted the bolsters. Not sure how that slipped my mind.. And I definitely believe you about the quality and reliability. Porsches are amazing in those respects! Congrats on the Super Sedan and enjoy! I hope to review some more Porsches soon, and I'll do my homework next time. Thanks for watching!!
Nice, thanks!! Yeah I was watching an old video of a Panamera Turbo racing someone, and could hear the same exact noise as the revs hit their peak. It just seems to be the car's character, so I find it really cool! It is a great car... minus the lack of paddles, hah. Thanks a ton for watching!!!

I don't know if you still have the car but Techart makes aftermarket paddle shifters for this steering wheel, they go for around $750

The High pitched noise is your gearbox
