Default it arrived

Purchased a 2010 4S with <57k miles on it, got a enclosed delivery. (Scottsdale AZ. to Bend OR.)
Daughter is very happy as it has 4 zone AC as well as heated and vented seats all around.

thanks, daughter has dubbed it the Storm-Trooper car, we will be blacking out all the chrome to heighten the look (she's a huge original series Star Wars fan)

My passengers have to slum it up with the heated only seats, but they get to look at carbon fiber not wood :$

the 4 zone was a "must have" for the daughter - the heat and venting is pure bonus :-)
I wasn't looking for a white car, but the feature list , price and low mileage made me ignore that aspect :-)

Now all you have to do is Di Noc the wood in a nice brown carbon fiber weave vinyl and you're good :P. You will love the car. I'm still in love with mine.

I don't know why so many people dislike the look of the first-gen Panamera ... I think it looks awesome on the outside. I miss my 2015 Panamera 4.

Totally agree they are beautiful cars ( but then again I loved the 914 :-) as well)

My only gripe with the car - the gas gauge is backwards...... (i'm used the 1/4, 2/4,3/4, 4/4 thing)

The gas gage also makes me think too since the 911 is the opposite. Mine has the 26 gallon tank so I can largely ignore the gage until the low fuel warning activates.

Enjoy your ride! These are wonderful cars.

Well clearly lots of people also LIKE the Panamera because they have sold a LOT of them in a price bracket that is NOT a “best bang for the buck” pricing structure.

I think they look bad ***. I think they look better with a spoiler for the most part but they are not odd without them. In person they are perfectly proportional - haters just like to pick the flattest odd angle to take a picture and then call it all kinds of things. The most ugly car on the road? Pffft.

Haters just can’t afford it, or don’t want to pay the premium for a Porsche. Frankly you do pay a premium and it’s a personal decision as to what value it is to you.

Congrats again on the car. I’ve only had mine for two weeks, and I’ve been burning gas just to drive it! There is certainly something different about driving a Porsche. The Panamera has a commanding presence on the road that gets noticed even if the looks are polarizing for some.
