Hearing Sam claim not to be wealthy with his multiple Porsches and Ferrari is like hearing Rishi Sunak saying he understands the plight of the working classes. Really nice car filmed in a beautiful location. Keep up the good work.
I think what happens is when you have money, you get surrounded by people who have even more than you. He has friends who order hyper cars with no thought about it. I can see how the perspective can get warped on what wealthy is. Sam is a good egg though, don't be too harsh on him!
Sure, I’ll agree with you halfway. But he’s made buying ostentatious cars his JOB. I have a crazy computer and some 100,000 pound software no one else needs. Not because I’m wealthy but because it’s for work
Tony wasn't lying Sam does seem to have a propensity for the deployment of linguistically vibrant expressions, often imbued with a robust and colorful vernacular.😂
Not gonna lie, I have thought about putting it on my car. Just haven't figured out how to wire up a switcher between the regular front came to save my carbon splitter and a night vision cam.
Your vide pushed me over the edge and I indeed purchased a 2020 Panamera 4S. It has been nothing but amazing. I thought you would want to share these types of messages with Porsche. The true definition of an influencer.
You can fix wireless airplay. Quite a few USB connectors around now that turn wired carplay into wireless. I had one in my Audi SQ2 and it worked flawlessly.
That was one of my favourite cars to drive during my Porsche driving experience . I got just 2018 Boxster S that previous owner loaded it with options and didn't even drive it. Depreciated value thank you very much.😀
Damn, I remember your RS6 video when I was considering that car a year ago. Just got back from Germany with a new to me 2022 Panamera Turbo S Sport Turismo and now I see this video! Good taste!
Thank you, congrats on the new family hauler! Beautiful area to film. Since the car as plenty of room, perhaps for old times sake, you can go spotting with the lads in London. Or visit Luke, test the performance of the Panamera on those Alpine mountain roads. Cheers Sam, I hope the new car takes you far and wide to give us these cool Seen Through Glass videos and vlogs to enjoy 👍😊
I have an 18 4s sport turismo and I love it. I have two 80lb golden retrievers and the fit in the trunk just fine. My son fits in the back and my wife is comfortable up front. But when you put it in sport plus with nobody in the car it’s still a Porsche. Such an underrated car
MPG is all relative to types of journeys - I have a 2020 Porsche Panamera e-hybrid and do 70% of my driving in electric mode. Charging overnight @ 7.5p/kwh means a 0-25 mile charge costs 63p. So if I do 1000 miles with 700 miles being in electric mode and 300 miles @ 25mpg it's costs around £100 for fuel & electricity. So 10p a mile - it's a fantastic package. My BMW M4 Comp was averaging 35p a mile so a decent saving for myself personally.
Congratulations! I bought the same Gen 2 panny five years ago, and like you usually change(d) every 18 months but just love this car so much I haven’t felt the need to. Enjoy in good health!
We are on parallel tracks! Also collected my first panamera last July as new family daily and haven't looked back! Amazing usable car. And in the garage, a Rapide AMR which is another of your favourites i think. And you're welcome to borrow for any content as you're not far from me I don't think!! Excellent collection skills
I have to say, I don't get to watch your videos much anymore, but I love coming back to see what you're up to. Been too busy lately but it's been great to see the progression from the 4C up to now.
Snap. Have a 2011 s myself. It’s a near perfect all round car. Comfy, spacious, fun when it needs to be. Nice place to be, good sound system and even not too bad on fuel. Bought it on a bit of a whim but now seriously considering a newer model. I think they’re fantastic
Indeed my friend. You are a cool dad and that is such a cool car!!! Furry friend looks happy too. Thanks for sharing your experience with the Panamera 4 E-H Sport Tourismo. Keep enjoying and drive safe.
We just purchased a very similar panamera sport turismo. 1yr old, almost no km on the clock, amazing spec, most options ticked, for ~100k€. amazing value for the money
Delighted for you Sam. I've always thought of Panamera's as being massive too, but your comment regarding the size of an F- Pace, put things into perspective. Love the exterior / interior combination too, so well done to the first owner for ticking those options and the vast list of others too. Enjoy!
Imo this, the taycan, and the m5 are the most beautiful sedans out their. I love the new headlights they look amazing. Porsche did their thing with this one.
Hi Sam, getting rid of all the squeaks on my 2009 Audi Q5 consisted of replacing every suspension and engine mount bushing… it was less than $4,000 US and the car sounded like new on bumpy roads and speed bumps. Totally worth it. I’ve got 155,000 miles on the Q5. But probably not something you want to do given you will replace your Panamera in 18 months. 😊. I loved the video by the way!
Love it Sam! Dad life brought me to be a proud owner of a 2015 Cayenne S E-hybrid with a paint to sample Peridot green metallic paint. It is flawless and the original owner ticked every box for an MSRP of over 120k USD.
I think it's a great choice Sam. Night vision is so good and really good and I'd spec it again. Deer, horses, foxes and of course people show up and if you're pushing on at night in a rural environment it's a God send.
Nice review. I’m also a new dad. We got a CPO 2018 4S Sport Turismo in December. It’s a do it all car and such a joy to drive and sit in. ❤ also very rare in the US.

Was excited to hear you’d got this. Interesting video and a lovely car. I too have a Panamera (albeit an older one). I’d dismissed them for years and bought mine on as a second car. Now I’m seriously contemplating a newer generation like this. What a great around car! Good luck.
I too have owned far too many cars and luckily like you I have a toy in my Aston Martin DB11 AMR. I bought a Panamera 4S in October and have loved every mile . Best thing, I've not looked at Auto Trader in nearly 9 months - What an amazing daily
Nice choice. Panamera wagons are super rare in the US. Right now there are a total of 7 CPO ones for sale in the entire US. Woukd love to own one of these or a taycan wagon at some point
I’m so happy someone thought of dads mate and actually a car that usually gets disregarded between the 5’s and E’s and eff me the SUV’s of the family car world … please keep us posted Sam and congrats, I think I forgot to say that lol
Love it. Had my eye on similar spec for a while, for me the musts are adaptive cruise, rear axle steering, heated steering, cooled seats, surround view and panoramic roof. The chalk interior would be lovely! Not seen something like this from Porsche directly for 55k that's a steal.
I had one of these as a courtesy car from Porsche when they serviced my Cayman and I really didn't like it as a drivers car. My Dad wagon has been an RS6 for the past few years and is now an E63S. I was initially surprised at your choice after my experience, as I found it very disappointing. But you explained it with the point about your other cars. With my Cayman sold I do not have a GT3 or a Ferrari for when I need a fun drive. So my Dad wagon has to be that bit more aggressive. Also, I probably do a LOT fewer miles than you, so the comfort factor isn't as high up the priorities list. Horses for courses, as they say. Well done, fine choice.
Good choice. Looks great. From the interior camera shot, the black steering wheel looks a touch out of place but probably far more practical than a light-coloured one.
Great vid! I have a 4S Sport Tourismo and my family enjoys it. I think this model may actually appreciate seeing it’s been discontinued in the ST model. We’ll see, but for the time being, it’s a wonderful car for 4 family passengers to enjoy all together.
My father has this one but in saloon form. Never have i seen such a mix of car. Its very fast, efficient enough and fun to drive In the future i will get this or a 4S E hybrid👍🏻
This is my favorite Porsche, and I've been thinking about one myself... I love the shooting brake style, with 4 doors gives it a look of utility but sportiness. Your journey sounds similar to mine, I could not process the Panamera at first, though about a half dozen buddies of mine own them - it just didn't strike me until one day I saw exceptionally nice looking one drive by, it was very well-appointed - then it hit me all of a sudden, it's a four-door 911 Once I wrapped my head around that, I got it
It's cool! I got an older A7 in January too. An upgrade (in space and performance) from my A4, that go too old. Great cars for family life. The color is very cool.
I had one of these in blue, bought from a Porsche Dealer. Ended up being a turd box, had to fight with Porsche for 6 months for them to fix it, they had 7 attempts, then had to not only threaten, but damn near drag them into court for them to take it back because they wouldn't fix it. Lovely thing but when one headlight costs £3500 and they depreciate so hard you have to question your financial choices.
@@pistonburner6448 They have a car for everyone. Want a track car, they have GT3 (RS)/GT4 (RS). Want a daily driver? Panamera. Want a EV? Taycan and soon EV Boxster. Want a sports car?

hello! I also have the exact same model and year! Well done! Quick note: Don't forget about what I call the "Mean button" which is a small button in the middle of the Manettino - gives 30 seconds of overboost. Quick Question: What is the health of your battery? My electric range has decreased from 53 km to 43 km after 90400 km. Cheers
This is the wireless Apple Car Play Adapter I used for my GR86 - Carlinkit 5.0. Literally the best think I have ever bought. Always on sale so under £100. Worked flawlessly. Phone never left my pocket for that car.
Sam, thanks so much for this episode! I have been considering just such a car and yes comparing to some SUV. It seems to be a very useable car! Awesome review as always!
Fantastic spec, Sam; I love the paint color. FWIW - I disabled the foot sensor for the rear trunk in my Ford Escape since it was closing on me and ive since had a hitch installed. I did this by pulling a fuse and I wonder if it would be similar for the Panamera. Congratulations on the new whip!
Would it be able to tow the GT3 on a trailer…? How cool would it be to tow the green beauty to the south of France or a nice place around the Nurburgring and have fun there..? I’d be watching it! 👍
I’m going to change my Range Rover for one. I live in Boston US. My local Porsche dealer are real ball breakers so I think I need to look out of state. I will let you know. In the UK I had a number 911s and miss them so much. The one you have looks like a real steal
I had a Pan Sports Turismo Plug In Hybrid for 3 years and it was amazing! Sounds great with the Sports exhaust and had the amazing Burm sound system etc.... Thundering! I think to get the most of these you really do need to plug them in over night, (if you can) and run on electric. I was getting just over 20 miles of range. Charging from the engine made it a bit pointless as it really smashed the MPG. Narrow roads in Devon and Cornwall and parking was a bit tricky, but still, a great car! Enjoy :-)
Fantastic choice Sam. I have the 970.2 and it’s very comfortable and adequately fast. My fuel consumption is way better than yours but I charge at home and do a lot of journeys on battery only - interspersed with some fun in sport mode🙂
Great car. I had one, was superb for long journeys. However, it doesn't get the pulse racing. Now that I largely work from home, I changed it for a PDK Cayman 981, which is a fantastic car. Better in some ways than my manual 997 turbo.
Love the car and love the New Forest - my maternal home. I hope you found yourself at the motor museum and avoided the ponies hiding from the sun under the bridges.
I was the original purchaser of your car. I owned it for 4 years. It was fantastic
What did you replace it with if you don’t mind my nosy question

Would it be able to tow the GT3 on a trailer…?
How cool would it be to tow the green beauty to the south of France or a nice place around the Nurburgring and have fun there..? I’d be watching it! 👍
I’m going to change my Range Rover for one. I live in Boston US. My local Porsche dealer are real ball breakers so I think I need to look out of state. I will let you know. In the UK I had a number 911s and miss them so much. The one you have looks like a real steal
I had a Pan Sports Turismo Plug In Hybrid for 3 years and it was amazing! Sounds great with the Sports exhaust and had the amazing Burm sound system etc.... Thundering! I think to get the most of these you really do need to plug them in over night, (if you can) and run on electric. I was getting just over 20 miles of range. Charging from the engine made it a bit pointless as it really smashed the MPG. Narrow roads in Devon and Cornwall and parking was a bit tricky, but still, a great car! Enjoy :-)
Fantastic choice Sam. I have the 970.2 and it’s very comfortable and adequately fast. My fuel consumption is way better than yours but I charge at home and do a lot of journeys on battery only - interspersed with some fun in sport mode🙂
I wasn't aware of the New Forest, looks like a fantastic place!
I wish the Turismos were the same price as the standard Panamera. It's a dream car for me as well.
Gorgeous Jack Russell
Great job Sam. Panamera SportTurismo in the cooler RS6. And RS6 is in itself very cool.
Also thank you for not getting a SUV.
Enjoy it!
Congratulations with your new car Sam!
0:50 sick song 😎one thing I'd maybe do is de-badge just the rear emblem
I bought a new Panamera last year and love it.
Great car. I had one, was superb for long journeys. However, it doesn't get the pulse racing. Now that I largely work from home, I changed it for a PDK Cayman 981, which is a fantastic car. Better in some ways than my manual 997 turbo.
Sam, I like your hybrid Panamera. Fantastic addition to your fleet 👌👏👍
Love the car and love the New Forest - my maternal home. I hope you found yourself at the motor museum and avoided the ponies hiding from the sun under the bridges.
Great video as always there are so many bargain used cars around with so much comfort and spec! Love the interior!
I drove the one with the hybrid setup a few years ago. If Porsche had that option I'd buy one too.
55grand for that porsche is a very good deal. Good luck!👍
