I meaaan... its like your car to use right?

I asked... they said, "ahhhhh yeah, we'd rather you just bring it back here."

What kind of loaner is it?

2018 Panamera 4 e-Hybrid
AWD, 462hp, has Sport Chrono (better faster shifting mode + launch control) and PASM (their adaptive suspension) + the rear wheel steering so it handles pretty good for a big car.

If I didn't need to tow anything ever, I'd probably daily one of these instead. Tho not the Hybrid... I'd look for an "S" in wagon (Sport Turismo) form instead.

Not bad. Didn't think they put that much power in those things.

Ya the "base" Panamera 4 is 330hp. I had one of those last week. Plenty quick enough to be a ball to drive.

The e-Hybrid is the next "step up" in their line, technically makes more HP than the "S" model. Thing rips, I'll say that. I just hate that I'm constantly staring at that stupid battery monitor.... and unless you flip it to "Sport" mode, the engine is constantly shutting off trying to get you to use just the electric motor.

The "S" is 440hp and I think is quicker than the Hybrid because of weight.

The Turbo is a monster at 550hp, and the Turbo Hybrid is 680 lol.






Those cars just look so damn goofy though.

The new ones look way better than the old.

I had one of the previous gen Pana's for a loaner for almost 2 weeks one time. Ugly as sin (hot damn those things are ugly) but the interior is killer and they drive sublimely. I didn't want to give it back.

The new ones tho... especially in wagon form? IMO so hot.





Literally drive like a 911. Very "sports car" feel. Tight, direct, responsive.

I do not like the Panamera body style at all, same goes for the Ferarri FF. But I love the way the X6M looks. Makes me think of a tank with tires instead of tracks.

I dont consider panameras real porsches . Real porsches have 2 doors, are lightweight and arent loaned out to customers as courtesy cars.

That being said, id probably choose PDK over Manual on newer porsches if i had the chance to buy one.

Shots fired, grab your popcorn its gonna be a bumpy ride.

Have you driven a panamera? Or even a Macan? They both follow the Porsche philosophy of excellent dynamics and great handling. They are the class leaders for their segments.
