I found the build sheet this morning through another link. Really cool to see for sure. Found out it actually has a few features I wasn't aware of like Rear Wheel Steering.

Rear wheel steering is super super cool! Sounds like a nice build! What did you drive before?

I'm coming from a 2020 GTI. I've owned 5 VWs in total, two of which where GTIs and one R. This is a pretty huge jump, especially in size.

Psshhh, this is a HELL OF AN UPGRADE. Talk about jumpinggg. The Panamera always feels like a small car, with the rear wheel steering you'll be fine.
As they say in life though, You must date alot of VW's before you get your Porsche

Haha, I like that! I just love how it felt kinda like a big golf. Also why I wanted the Sport Turismo. Keep the hatchback vibe.

I started life with VW and Audi's before I made the jump to Porsche. Once you go Porsche you never go back hahaha. I have 2 in the family and were looking to add a 3rd to the fleet in a year or so, once the wife's daily needed changed out.

The car is deff big when you put it in a garage lol. But its a great car. I drove mine from Maryland to Parade in Alabama this year and was a great drive. Even hit the tail on the way down.

Here is mine.

I just purchased my first Porsche ST as well, it is a CPO and that made a HUGE difference on my decision. Get it!

Keep us posted on your new car. I’m interested in getting one too but all the technology that makes it a great car also scares me. But it seems to check all the boxes for car nuts like us.

Will do! To be honest with you, the other options i was looking at where equally tech heavy(BMW M240ix/M2/RS3). It's pretty hard to avoid all the tech no matter what you go with. For me the CPO is really what did it. Knowing I really don't have to worry for 2 years. Along with the fact the ST is far rarer/more interesting than the other options I was looking at. And I get to keep my hatchback look, albeit bigger.

You can also extend your CPO right before the warranty expires. It's costly but an option. My dealer didn't inform of this :/
