To all the Panamera owners

Recently, my commute went from a 2 mile bus ride to a 30 mile each way drive. And so, a DD is in order. After having driven a few cars, I was just about all set on a new Lexus ISF. For me, it seemed like a perfect car. 4 doors, powerful engine, fast, handles great, comfortable interior, and very reliable. Well that was until I drove a Panamera (both the v6 and the v8) this weekend and realized that a lightly used one can be head for not that much more than a new ISF. The car (especially the v8) felt like it would be an ideal highway cruiser. I especially loved the interior which combined just the right amount of luxury and sportyness.

 

So this of course brought up a number of questions. Specifically, what kinds of faults have you guys found with these cars and what are the real-life operation costs. I know it's no Toyota, but P-cars are still known for their reliability. Do they live up to this hype?

 

Any info would be appreciated.

I loved driving them, a bit on the bigger side but you will probably get used to it.

 

Other forums are probably better places to look for owners info.
