Have not driven the DBX as no interest in SUV, so cannot comment on the AM.
I did have a Panamera and I have to confess still prefer the styling and solidity of the car. I never had any rattles and it was comfortable with a really easy to access boot plus no range anxiety.
Having said that, I...
I had a series 1, gen 2 Panamera Diesel and now have a 4S. Size wise very similar (current Panamera would be bigger).
Performance - Taycan in a different league completely to the Panamera - makes my old car (which had 0-60 5.9 secs) seem really slow.
Handling - Taycan more nimble and easier to...
Lovely colour and spec on both cars. What are your roads like? Although I like the idea of the variable pano roof I would go turbo as I think would be (a) smoother ride (b) more powerful (c) to be honest I do not even notice my pano roof when sitting in the car so not sure I would actually...
Really nice specification and pretty much what I would have chosen.
1. Did you consider 2 tone leather - chalk/black does look good and really 'lightens' the interior but still practical - might be helpful especially in a hot climate?
2. Consider chalk highlight clock - I admire this every time...
Great spec. I think perhaps the post on the accents might have been referring to the red brake calipers and the red leather interior? With the interior you can have the clock with a red highlight which matches the red leather - looks really nice. Personally I would likely stick with 4S but have...
Straight Black/Chalk. The amount that is the lighter colour varies between the combos and the Black/Beige has more beige which I think would be less practical - doors mainly beige so lots of scuff marks.
I originally thought I wanted Volcano (previous Panamera was Agate Grey), but when I saw it...
I do not have it and I have to park in a lot of difficult, narrow bays in various car parks for work. I manage and overall I think easier to park than my previous Panamera. One bay I have to occasionally reverse out of and I have found the RTA helpful in this situation. I would think it would...
Black/chalk is a great combo - see my showcase. I think really lightens the interior, adds to the looks but does not seem to be an issue from the viewpoint of keeping clean. What colour exterior are you looking at?
The GTS makes a lot of sense but my dealer was cautious about the ride (though...
I would delete the accent package - you do not need it with the colour combo you have I think -but consider either park assist (just for the RTA), acoustic glass or RWS?
Reflecting on my experiences so far with the car, still very happy and excited to see it in my driveway. Mine was purchased directly from the dealer as a stock car, so no choices in the specification, but then at least I have had the car and not had to worry about delivery delays and missing...
A great spec and very close to what I would have ordered if the GTS had been available at the time I bought my car. A few comments:
1. Not a fan of the red brake calipers - I would spec the black with the colour scheme you have
2. I think on the Taycan the black door handles look a bit too much...
I have 18 way and black/chalk. Would definitely recommend both. The black/beige is a lot lighter as the door panels are also beige (whereas these are black with the black/chalk), so I think a little less practical and will tend to show scuff marks.
I have HSW but not much use for this in...
Cabling was short and I think automatically pre-wired - I think the main issue was lack of instructions plus waiting for response from Porsche HQ with time zone difference!
Yes, definitely. I had this done on my car (made a huge difference). The dealer did the work and apparently it took one of their technicians 'a whole day' - I saw the kit before it was fitted and it did not look that difficult, but apparently no instructions were included and it was one of the...
I agree, a tough decision. I have no experience of the RWD but all the reviews seem positive with no real suggestions that lack of grip was an issues even in wet weather. I have a 4S and one of the reasons I did not wait for the RWD was the issue of tyre spin/lack of grip on my old Panamera...
A/C stopped working about 2 weeks ago now. Blowing warm air only. A/C light on. Tried resetting/turning on and off - no joy.
Dealer inspected and advised had not previously seen or heard of this issue. Apparently a pressure sensor needed to be replaced which had to be ordered from Germany.
One...
Yes, same here. I have to drive most days on a motorway (freeway) to work which for some reason has horizontal lines at regular intervals for most of its length (so definitely not smooth tarmac). This seemed to set up a buzz/rattle for the steering column. Dealer had a look at it during software...
I had ventilates seats in my old Jaguar XF which were really effective. Missed them on my Panamera and was really happy to have them back in the Taycan. We are entering Spring now and I have used them a few times - certainly feels pretty cool on Max 3 setting to me (although to be fair still...
