Default A couple questions regarding the new Turbo...

I was told by the dealer that my vin qualified for free maintenance for two years, how much did that save me?

Also I never did ask the salesman about the break in, if I go to fast too early can I void the warrant?

My tinit guy said he would not do it because it scratched, that sucks how does he even know that as I am sure he has never seen one of these cars as mine was the first one they recieved.


IS there another panamera forum with more activity than this one?

Don't know the answers about the car but I've done many Google searches and not found any other Panamera forums let alone any with more activity!

you get the odd post on the Macan dedicated forums about Panameras and also on PistonHeads but this seems to be the most frequented Panamera dedicated forum I've found.

Guess there aren't as many owners as other models.

Just picked mine up. Don't know the value of the two years...but free is free. It's really just two oil changes.

The manual clearly states a break in period of 2k miles. Usually stuff like no race track use, longer trips better than short ones, and try to stay under 4K rpm.

Mine is tinted. Not enough time yet to see if it scratches.

Let me know if you have more questions.

I don't think I paid for porsche connect. You can check if you locked your car and how much fuel you have. Underwhelming.

And I have not even plugged in the SIM card (free 3 month trial) for connect plus that gives you traffic, wifi hotspot, etc.

have zero need
