971 Panamera 4 E-Hybrid- first Porsche for me!

Greetings,
After years of eyeing the Panamera, reading reviews, and waiting for the awd E-Hybrid prices to get into my range, I finally picked up my first Porsche this weekend. CPO 2018 Panamera 4 E-Hybrid. I traded in a 2018 Volvo S90 T8 Inscription for it, and am liking the new car. While the Volvo was smooth and luxurious, the Panamera is definitely more performance and more engaging (of course). I'm learning the complicated features and buttons and menus, but happy to join the rennlist community to help with the learning as well.
Trying to get some snow tires on there to take it to Steamboat for this weekend!
Cheers,

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your new Panamara! I would love to see pictures of the car!

In the 7 months that I have had it, I have driven almost 10k miles and now need to get it serviced to keep in compliance with the CPO...mine was for two years starting at not quite 50k miles. It is beautiful and relatively uncommon in Ventura County so lots of positive comments. It has run wonderfully on several trips including TX to CA (purchase); also to CO and UT and several longer trips within CA. 400 mile inspection warning now showing so it will stay in the garage until the New Year and then the 60k service. Enjoy yours, mine is a dream and more practical for me with the 4 extra comfortable seats along with lots of power from 2.9L turbo charged engine. Consistent 26 miles hybrid electric around town.

Mazdaverx7, here ya go!

car is currently getting a motor mount replaced under CPO, so can’t get more right now.

The car looks beautiful!! The Panamara is just an exceptional car overall and I can imagine it would be great with a hybrid transmission! I've serviced and driven several Panamaras and I really think they are great cars!
