0-60 in 3.8s with the utility of an suv but the handling of a 911. Great car!

Have had one for two years...one of the earliest ones delivered. No problems in the two years, and a great car to drive. It took a little getting used to at first because of all the tech changes in the cockpit, but now I have come to like the new controls quite a bit. It's primarily a luxury car, but one that can really hustle when you want it to.

With the sports package it’s a different animal. Launch control is so worth it.

I previously had a 2014 bmw 650gc and x6m
When i decided to change brands i was mainly looking at the cls 53amg but after test driving it i was so disappointed by the drive and the 6 cylinder engine did it no favours. Was thinking the panamera was overpriced especially that where i live there is no service contract while all competing brands give you a minimum of 5 years. After test driving the 4s i felt like im driving a real car it was such a beautiful experience that i placed a down payment on the gts a week later(decided to sell my car to afford the upgrade) really wouldn't mind the 4s aswell it was a beast of a car.

One more tip. Order the car with the retractable tonneau cover.
I noticed my sports exhaust sounds better with the hard tonneau cover removed completely. Bass also sounds louder and deeper. Thank about it the hard cover that swivels up is heavily insulated and diminishes the sound of both.
The retractable cover is $150 option when configuring and is soft so it conforms to stuff you cram in the back when your packing stuff in.

I tried buying the retractable cover form my 17 car but at $1000 for 6 more months of my lease not worth it. I just have a black towel to cover up stuff for privacy.
