Back in a Porsche - PGTS
We've been away from the brand for a couple years but we're back. My wife had a Cayenne for 8 years and absolutely loved the car, and while her SQ5 was a lot of fun, we got the itch to get back in a Porsche recently. Played around with the idea of a Cayenne GTS, Macan Turbo but finally landed on a Panamera GTS. Pretty well optioned with the 20" Sport Wheels, LED lights, GTS Silver Interior Package and many others.
Her old Cayenne back in the day...
The SQ5 we just traded in...
And finally the new baby...the car is amazing to drive...and the sound of that exhaust
It's the wife's car, but she's going to have to fight me for the keys!

Congratulations. Excellent choice and color/option combination. To me the PGTS is the best overall car in the Porsche lineup. Aside from the DD practicality and fun to drive factor, it actually could put down decent laps at the track.

Thanks guys. I spend my weekends on track with a bunch of Porsche GT3's (running PBOC) in my little e30m3. I've always had Porsche envy while out there...good feeling to know that I'm now in the family. I hinted at a few hot laps in the PGTS to the wife...result was a pretty serious threat to my life. I guess that won't be happening

A modest suggestion: Both take the two day Porsche Sport Driving Program at Barber Motor Sports Park. The first session we had PTTS's. Even if you or she never track your PGTS, the course is fun and very instructive. Great instructors and no sitting around waiting for you next session behind the wheel.

Couldn't agree more. Took her to the GP track at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park last Tuesday for some HPDE. Got some nice rotation around corner 5b. Handles astonishingly well for a big car.

Congrats on your purchase hyboost! I hope you get a chance to sneak it out on the track at least once (and still obtain your life) haha.
Are you considering going the aftermarket route in terms of wheels as you did on the SQ5?

WheelsB, will definitely do wheels on it at some point. I've gotten all my prior wheels from Ben@WB and he has taken care of me for years (HRE on Supra, HRE on M5, ADV1 on IS-F). The exception was AvantGarde for the SQ5, but that was because I was trying to stay inexpensive since I expected the wife to chew through those. I will be in touch when the time comes for HRE/ADV1 on the PGTS.
