Porsche Panamera review - CarBuyer

[sovietbeatle8]

Looks a little cramped in the back, and the exterior is ugly, I think this with almost all Porches.

[xJAKEWx]

The interior is good

The Front exterior is good looking

The rear exterior is Disguising

[mr30witda30]

Beautiful

[sirprincy]

That car is so sexy! The one thing I don't like though is that the boot sticks out.

[MAXXFIGO]

this isn't just hideous comparing to the other...it's hideous compare to genital wart...top quote...

[Vikck]

I love the interior. Hate the exterior

[javiersuarez15]

2:58 come on Mat you almost killed your camara guy... don't worry you can blame it on that fugly back side...

[Robber323]

This car so ugly! I would never buy this car because it is in the same price range as a S65 AMG and lets be honest S65 looks so much better.

[AL5M3LI]

The car Kay is little panamera loooool^_^

[javiersuarez15]

@AL5M3LI they do that with other models like the chayenne... it's a nice touch

[maddcrazycow]

have they reviewed the 7 series yet?

[mohsingshaikh]

nice review

[LelouchVelvet]

Why people say its ugly?? I dont get it... For me its beautiful! I also love new 2012 cayenne.

[pauloajcdotcom]

I.t's been said it is quite ugly since it was said in Top Gear, although it is an extremely exquisite vehicle to look at, desirable and what matters most, it's a Porshe. Sorry guys, i'm a Top Gear fan and i do not agree with such a statement.

[justnotcricket]

Is carbuyer gonna compensate me for subjecting me to such aesthetic torture?

[souljaruman1]

This car isn't ugly...it's just something different. I like it :)

[mista925]

meh... I want a W12 Bentley Continental GT...

[iono101]

This kid has one at my university



[MGOCount]

People thinks its ugly ever since Top Gear said it was ugly. But it looks great if you see it in person.

[oldirtybastard213]

I love the way the car looks .... and I love the fact that most people dont... that should stop assholes from buying one ... until I'll be able to afford one ... hopefully

[MYRMIDONofTHESSALIAE]

@oldirtybastard213 oh yes, thats a big one. when the bmw 1 series first came out in germany as a hatchback i loved its design but since its become SUCH a mainstream car i hate it ;(

[maseratiquattroport]

i like the interior, but not the exterior

[paulicapopcorn]

i kinda like the look of it...

[CenturyVox]

UGLY 3:06

[adyyy22]

At first, i didn't like it, but seeing it in person just changed my mind. I simply love the bulky muscle and the wide sporty look it has. Very unique look, different from Audi, Merc and BMW who use similar lines and style.

[Nippledozer]

I think id take the maserati quattroporte

[twoface696]

Lulz, did he hit the camera man at 2:57?

[sevlo8110]

One day...

[CycoWarriorx]

Azn I agree. It's unconventional, but a lot cars are BUT the back of this car is just ugly. Super fast. Nice ride, two drawbacks, service is every 10,000 miles and the rear end. When you're in the car, you can't see it, but when you get out. Well it's a head shaker and not in a good way.

[bobbyhill601]

It doesn't matter if it is ugly or not. It isn't like anyone of our youtube viewers can afford it lol

[azn069]

I still can't get over the rear end. Even trying to like it I can't. The rest of the car looks rather nice, though.

[derbigpr500]

It's actually not ugly. Its ugly to those who are close minded and can't accept a car that's not a classic 4 door saloon. This car has all the benefits of a saloon with increased practicality because of the 5th door.

[SirDrSuperKittens]

i'm sure if porsche decided not to extend a Carrera, and just start from scratch, they could actually make this turd on wheels a diamond on wheels.

[videouricom]

I don't care what you say, but I love the way this car looks

[Ernests11245]

I like it! :)

[astonmartin141]

omg its ugly! id rather have a big merc or jag!

[schecterguitarsfan]

the rare end of the Panamera is just ugly

[skipskops]

I think the alloys are pretty disgusting considering you're paying so much for it. There's better alloys on some seriously cheaper cars........

[TheUnbeatablewolf]

it's the rear that looks ugly. and if that is ugly, than my friend every porsche is ugly. cause it is the rear-style that porsche has in its DNA

[FancybeatzLondon]

ive seen the reviewer in person, he is ugly too

[googleccd079]

@FancybeatzLondon lol

[diiebane]

Now that's a MASSIVE car, does it even fit in one lane holy crap!

[ToxCcc]

LOL at when both top rated comment contradict each other

[matthughes121]

Aston Martin got it right with the Rapide. Porsche got it wrong with the Panamera. Stretch a 911 and completely ruin the shape. Vulgar and ugly as f***!

[250Trojan]

@matthughes121 Spot on mate!

[dpv4810]

the back, specially the lights, looks like the megane...

[UZBEKSOLDAT]

V8 4-matic would be a BEST choice.

[250Trojan]

All Porsches are over-rated and most people hate them.

[oldirtybastard213]

@250Trojan  ofcourse they are... thats why they're selling them faster than they can make 'em

[250Trojan]

@oldirtybastard213 Selling doesn't mean most people like them. Most people do hate them - if you make 10 Porsches per day and sell them, that's only 10 people who love them per day, compared to say 20 million who hate them. And that's only in one country.

[250Trojan]

[Quote] "its amazing how you described yourself in only one word". Really? If that's who or what I was describing, why are you telling me about Porsche?

By the way, FYI< the number one car manufacturer for queslity is NOT Porsche (if that's who you are referring too), there are several makes that beat Porsche: Rolls Royce, Mercedes-Benz, Bentley, Aston Martin...

[250Trojan]

Porsche = Shit

[qwertyaltr]

@250Trojan its amazing how you described yourself in only one word.... let me ask you a question who is the No. 1 car manufacturer in terms of car quality... who's car was among the 20th century best... who? look it up.. search about it and then talk about Porsche... 1977 924's still work perfectly without any needed repairs compared to other manufacturers cars from that time especially American..

[roggerfrogger2]

Love how you get the brogues out for the posh cars

Also, imagine taking rubbish to the tip in that, hahah

[TheDreamer138]

THE FRONT LOOK AMAZING BUT THE REAR LOOK UGLY

[123459375]

FUGLY !

[TheSRalston]

"the car´s key is a little Panamera"..."dear, have you seen my keyfob for the porsche?"..."the last time I saw it, your little son was playing with it..." "look dad, I was playing with the little car, and I already got into the mud, through the sand and it went on a trip around the toilet´s bowl...and also made a giant leap from the second floor to the ground"..."aaaah!!!"

[tralalam3csl]

v6?v8? its boxer dude......

[qwertyaltr]

@tralalam3csl no its not Cayenne and Panamera use V6's and V8's... only 911, Cayman and Boxter us boxer engines

[tralalam3csl]

@qwertyaltr my mistake sorry

[RisisMU]

Personally, the interior is great and expresses sportiness, but the exterior is far from being the most attractive on street. The form is not well balanced, mainly at the rear end with the front.

[tg72211]

This guy is a great reviewer, but I have never seen him not like a car. He needs to be more critical.

[thestoryteller612]

i also seen it in person. it's even more ugly

[XmodGT1]

@thestoryteller612 You drive honda right?

[thestoryteller612]

@XmodGT1 wrong

[MrBazpoker]

@thestoryteller612 word!

[M5IAN]

@thestoryteller612 Really? I saw one in person and i thought it looked pretty handsome. I wouldn't mind one.

[japster1113]

That color looks great on it! i'm not sure if its black.. anybody know for sure what color this is?

[thunderbirdthang11]

@japster1113 It almost looks like amethyst. I'm not quite sure, though.

[colin4393]

Good reviewer, this guy.

[MrCreepyCreeper]

If the rear hatch was more like the one on the cls, with a more distinct separation between the rear glass and bodywork the car would look much better

[juukame]

to be honest, i like having more buttons in a car as well; my mom and stepdad recently bought a used a6 and while it is really nice inside, i can't get away from the fact that being able to adjust the fan, or heater or radio in my 2000 M class is just a button, or wheel turn away. And also being an actual button, you don't have to spend time watching a screen, when you should be watching the road

[smashboompow1]

i've seen it a hundred times, it gets ugly'er every time. porsche is supposed to be a 2 door coupe, not a silly 4 door saloon or suv!

[TheKrasnaludek]

Nice looking, but the Cadillac CTS-V will run with this at far less coin. The Porsche interior is top-notch; no arguing there.

[kr0pp]

2:25 BMW F10...so nice

[nadzorka2929]

With the sport design body kit and a few other things put externally you can radically change how the car looks specially the bulb like rear! Second the three spoke steering wheel is for the PDK it has proper shift paddles the multifunction steering wheel is for the manual gearbox and it doesn't have those shifters on it when used on that gearbox! There are some tweaks and careful choices with options but most complaints people have with the car can be addressed!

[IIAJIOMHuK]

You don't need to guess where actual front of your car is if you can drive a car.

There are little secrets.

You can virtualy bind a main edges of your car to the interior details inside the car. You want to project eges outside to inside. It alow me to drive in parking up to 100 km/h with confidence if i need to and to park car safe in every condition.

No wonder man laughs at you, because you nooby.

[sangeeth1991]

Sorry mate.He is laughing at me.... :p

[ThomasFerrugia]

I'm sure the Panamera Gen2, when Porsche refines the awkward rear styling and sheds a few hundred pounds, will be a triple threat (right now, it's just double).

[MrNu287]

wow i just love the tree wall @1:32

[cu1000]

Mat didn´t even try to get over the giant transmission tunnel....

[samuraiway10]

yeah, this is a good car. try it. its pretty cool

[pichacu13577]

you like the fact that the key is a small panamera!? WTF! How old are you 5?

[LukeNAESA10]

It's German it's always gonna be ugly and unreliable.

[AHMADF93]

FF ? Ill go for this one

[leoncarbon]

to be honest it reminds me too much of a Volkswagen Beetle and it doesn't have the nice engine roars of a sports car...but its friggin fast on the road thou!

[Twsit133]

Seen it in person.Looks fucking amazing, dont get why people call it ugly

[OuKrokodil]

@Twsit133 Yep, me too. I think some motoring journo in the beginning said it's ugly & then the sheeple followed.

[Twsit133]

@OuKrokodil haha Im sure thats true!

[miniadult12]

@Twsit133 I know ive seen it lots of times, i think its a fantastic looking car

[Syakir2004]

@Twsit133 indeed. i have one in ruby red, tq for ur excellent comment

[vehiclerandomvideos]

@Twsit133 I dont find it amazing, I find it bland.

[thunderbirdthang11]

@Twsit133 Park it beside an Aston Rapide and a Maserati Quattroporte and give almost anyone their choice of the three. A good 80+% will go for either of the other two. That said, out by itsself, the Porsche does look smooth and is an excellent way to get somewhere fast and comfortably.

[TheBrando609]

@Twsit133 because it's up against the masterati GTS and Aston martin Rapide.

[Driftuner]

@Twsit133 mybe because it is one of the uglyest cars in the whole world?

[miniadult12]

@Twsit133 I know, I'd be dead happy if someone bought this for me

[Dosalt]

@Twsit133 nobody says so, so please remove your comment because you may be giving the wrong impression.

[Verification11]

@Twsit133 i see it in person everyday on the streets, not to mention a neighbor has panamera turbo, and you're right it looks good.

[AlphaReality]

@Twsit133 Because they will never be able to afford it! lol

[AlphaReality]

@Twsit133 Because they will never be able to afford it! lol

[fallenwarriorz]

@Twsit133 its rear look horrible

[DiCaptain]

UGLY!!!!

[athan4australia]

That is the most ugly thing in the world. The Aston Martin rapide is the way to go

[stud101z]

mat loves the limo :)

[The70srockfan]

i want that in my life....

[MacGyver920]

OMFG! Love the key! xD

[miazsz]

Hey Mat! whats that watch that youre wearing?

[click1click1click]

REVIEW THE G55 AMG MATE

[TheShamwow23]

the Dodge magnum is way better

[XxlMf40xX]

@TheShamwow23 get the fuck out of here..



[MacGyver920]

@TheShamwow23 Stupid, fucking American.

[The70srockfan]

@MacGyver920 dont let dumb americans like that scew your view on us! we're not all like that

[MacGyver920]

@The70srockfan YES...YOU...ARE!

[bobel2007]

@TheShamwow23 LOL, you have got to be joking.

[TheShamwow23]

@bobel2007 im not.... USA!!! USA!!!!

[bobel2007]

@TheShamwow23 Poor you. You're not even worth the argument.

[M9A5P]

I seriously doubt there's anyone that looks at that car (despite how good it is) and thinks: "Right, it's the most beautifull sports 4-door saloon I can buy. I shall do it right now". For God's sake, does Aston Martin or even Maserati ring a bell!

This is a real competitor to the Cayenne in matters of how much sick can you get from someone looking at it...

[TheBrokenEclipse]

This car is amazing... if only it didn't look like something out of my nightmares...

[TheDM75]

LOL This was a funny review xD

[mondeost2202008]

I think Porsche should make a Panamera coupe to compete with the Mercedes CL and Bentley Continental GT.

I think this in 2 door form + a possible 2012 911-like rear end.

How about a Jaguar XJ or a Maserati Quattroporte or even a Ferrari FF for the next review?

[reddexred]

a dogs doing its number 2# @ 2:57...

[ghos2277]

I like the front of the Panamera but it has a big and ugly "ass".

[joydivision808]

ugly 

[marshknute]

This is the only car styled on a boner.

[kremborie]

make a review of the audi q5 and porsche caynne

[pgrmonteiro]

Why don't you use the turbo version with the sport plus suspension and folding wings?? That would make a much better review!

[Hound419]

This is the ONLY porsche I would ever drive.

[pfflyer15]

@kroki2007 because for some people, a prius is not good enough ;)

[Trolin247]

hey, ur car's broken... the steering wheel is on the wrong side!

[rangermaverick85]

Sounds funny how he pronunciates porsche...here in italy we say "porsch" , in english "porscha" lol

[oeylabot]

Hi mate ...I like your reviews ..you have a funny style to present .....but I wonder why you didn't say that Porsche Panamera is not exciting to drive as a Ford Mondeo / Focus :))))))) .... and personally I think the only car that deserves to be bought from Porsche is 911 ....the rest ar pure marketing for to have good sales and majority of their cars ar copies of 911 .....cheers ..

[rangermaverick85]

do I have to watch this review considering that I'll never be able to buy this car ? lol.

[hakeemsofly]

@rangermaverick85 DARE TO DREAM SIR DEAR TO DREAM!

[marcone007]

nice number plate .... MTV ...

[LOLAG3S]

that car looks shit

[marshknute]

To be honest, this car looks great from the front. It is the boner-shaped rear end that ruins it. Ironically, the 2-door renders of the Panamera (just type Panamera Coupe into Google) look pretty good. It wouldn't surprise me to see it in the near future (a modern 928).

[LOLAG3S]

@marshknute lol boner

[GrotrianSeiler]

Looks awful, no matter how good it is. The move in body shape from 911 to Panamera just doesn't work, if anybody follows what I just said.

[truknayr23]

@GrotrianSeiler It's a matter of taste... hahaha... Cheers..

[PianoandCarcrack94]

i hate the design. looks like a piece of soap

[datboiwes333]

I love these cars. Also as an American this car really isn't that big for us lol

[846524162]

@datboiwes333 dude, have you seen this one in person? It is really big and wide, totaly diffrent from what you see in video or pictures.

[datboiwes333]

@846524162 yeah I've seen several Panamera's in person they are popular where I live. Like I said it's not that big by American standards since we have larger cars and roads. For Europeans yes the car is big.

[boricuas4669]

Meh ! PASS !

[trunitemare]

Clips are getting better and better.

[mcmechosoudek]

Dont know about the looks of the Panamera but your style have grown on me. Great job.

[Keeero2020]

who cares about cargo area !!!

[mrburnard]

@Keeero2020 who cares about you not caring about the cargo area !!!!!!!!!!

[BedsideGnome]

Nice, but ugly. Surely a Jaaaaaaaag would be a better buy :)

[dailyforman]

nice car

[reevsaj]

The interior is gorgeous.

[Naoufalitos24]

Aston Martin Rapide, Please

[89dinaix]

when do you make a review of the Peugeot 508?:X:D

[vauxellx]

wish more cars had that many buttons to play with :-)

[flyingbengaltiger]

haha nearly reversed into the cameraman

[EddieLolz3r]

review the maserati quattroporte

[truknayr23]

Ugly they may say... but if i had the money... I'd get it in a heart beat!!!

[fagAshLil1234]

@truknayr23 Why?

[ArtemiyPavlov]

I find this video easy to masturbate to.

[fagAshLil1234]

@ArtemiyPavlov ROFL

[sarokas12]

probably the ugliest car on the roads today...
