Default Porsche Product Quality

OK so maybe the front fell off one Panamera. I had two Porsches the fronts fell off. A 993 GT2 car and a GT3R Cup. I did slam them into walls at Watkins Glen and Summit Point but hey they are Porsches.
Anyway now I have a real disappointment.
I bought a used 2011 Panamera from the local dealer 6 months ago. I enjoyed driving it so much I traded it for a 2015 Panamera. New car is outstanding.
So, Porsche sends me the typical welcome kit with books and this classy looking pen with the Panamera script. The damn pen skips! That is a bigger disappointment than the front falling off.

Do not worry, these pen are CPO !

(Yes, I agree with you, the Panamera is an amazing car, probably one of the best P ever, but this is not very well known.)

Good News. Turned out there was a plastic packaging tip not fully removed from the pen causing the skip. Confidence renewed in brand.

funny how it usually ends up being operator error!

I only use my Porsche pen on weekends on dry paper.
