Reviews for Porsche
Good at just being a car too!
The 911 is an exquisit all around vehicle. It isn't that it is the best at any one thing but a whole package. Drives excellent and comfortable. I can easily get our basic family groceries in the trunk. I put my son in and out of the back carseat daily (carseats can be a challenger). Biggest flaw I know of is the entry seat bolsters wear quickly due to their size and firmness. Seems like they could have had a more durable leather on that portion. Learning to sit properly helps but we are short and taller folks I can see being even harder on them.
Pros
- Braking: Flawless breaks.
- Ride and Handling: It loves curves and has excellent feel. Like the first time on parabolic skis.
- Styling: I must admit I love its curves.
Cons
- Weather Versatility: Deep snow 6+" is out. Winter tires make most snow a non issue (no studs available). It drives better than most sports cars in winter due to the engine being on the rear drive wheels.
- Cost to Maintain: Higher than most but not unreasonable or prohibitive.
- Technology and Entertainment: Older style bluetooth doesn't return to playing music upon reentry. No rearview camera.
Quirky but solid performance
Its power is strong but the computer does limit it depending on fuel quality. Its premium only which I did over look before buying it but when you do the math its only a couple bucks more, not a big deal. It handles sharply and really turns heads. the interior is comfortable but the layout of the buttons is not as ergonomic as a 4runner lets say. It had some issues that needed repair right out the gate with the warranty such as the fuel gauge and wheel imbalance. They had cheapo carquest brake pads that really did the truck no favors so i swapped those out right away too. Make it your own and it should serve you well.
Pros
- Power: 420hp twin turbo
- Ride and Handling: sharp steering with great body control. easy on bumps
- Styling: Its a porsche it breaks necks
Cons
- Cargo Space: half the sq ft cargo space as non luxury trucks
- Fuel Economy: averages 18 mpg mostly highway. but thats normal in class. but this takes 91 oct
- Technology and Entertainment: the radio is really dated in looks and performance with weird restrictions and clunky navigation
Love, Love, Love this car!!!
The Porsche Panamera is sporty yet luxurious so you get all of the perks of a top of the line luxury ride with the feel of a sporty race car! The dash board is like a cockpit with all of the bells & whistles you could ever want at your finger tips, it has amazing trunk space with drop down back seats for even more space, it’s roomy enough for 4 people to sit comfortably & it drives like a dream!!! It’s a real head turner & I get compliments everywhere I go so if you’ve ever considered getting a Panamera, take the plunge, you won’t regret it!!!
Pros
- Dashboard: It’s like a beautifully designed cockpit!
- Ride and Handling: Hugs the road & handles beautifully!
- Styling: The style speaks for itself.
Cons
- Cost to Maintain: Cost much more than other cars to maintain
