After many years of admiring and lurking I have taken the plunge with a Panamera 4S (2010) as they are getting more affordable considering what they cost new. Have had a few Boxsters in the past and always fancied having a Porsche as the family car but 911 not big enough! Only had Panamera a couple of days but really enjoying it. The acceleration and grip is quite something. I owned a CLS AMG a few years back and whilst it was bonkers in a straight line, the handling was so so. The Panamera, a similar size barge, handles incredibly well and the interior is really unique. The acceleration feels as quick as the AMG, although on paper that was faster (500+bhp) but I think the 4WD really gets it going, while the AMG was always fighting to get the power down - though the noise was awesome for sure. And of course most importantly my 12 yr old son has rear heated seats and approves in general! Some pics below(the TVR in the background had to go to help fund this...)

Quite low I suspect as playing at present... However, the previous owner was averaging 23mpg
