I was the original purchaser of your car. I owned it for 4 years. It was fantastic
What did you replace it with if you don’t mind my nosy question
Nice car id prefer a m3 touring though
@@jamesd3002 That's an amazing find in 2018!
How much did you loose?
How did you choose this? I really find this the ugliest spec'd Porsche ever.
Thumbs up for buying an estate and no SUV! I wish more people would do that.
Why, big fan of estate but suv always wins doesnt it
@@fcvb1236 no? lol
@@fcvb1236 Sadly most customers tend towards SUVs but I just don't understand why. I once took the VW lineup and compared all models based on factors such as price, cargo capacity, fuel consumption etc. The SUVs performed the worst while cars such as the Golf, Passat and Touran performed best. So how is it that SUVs are so popular? They are literally the worst option overall. The only reason I can understand is old people preferring the higher seat for getting in and out.
@@AspireTurbo for a family of 5, the middle seat in the second row is never big enough in any estate/saloon car, an SUV or MPV is the only option
@@Ssh52 , how many SUV owners are "families of 5"? Families have fewer and fewer kids but still the number of SUVs bought keeps increasing. All I see around my area are soccer moms with Chevy Suburbans, taking their one child to school.
Hearing Sam claim not to be wealthy with his multiple Porsches and Ferrari is like hearing Rishi Sunak saying he understands the plight of the working classes.
Really nice car filmed in a beautiful location. Keep up the good work.
I think what happens is when you have money, you get surrounded by people who have even more than you. He has friends who order hyper cars with no thought about it. I can see how the perspective can get warped on what wealthy is. Sam is a good egg though, don't be too harsh on him!
@@Druezyyou also just always compare yourself to people more and more wealthy as you progress
Humans strive on having something to work towards
Agree, think he needs to realise having multiple cars and living in London is a pretty good indication he is indeed wealthy!
Sure, I’ll agree with you halfway. But he’s made buying ostentatious cars his JOB. I have a crazy computer and some 100,000 pound software no one else needs. Not because I’m wealthy but because it’s for work
This car is anywhere between £40 and £50k so not an ultra expensive car. Some creative financing and a trade-in and its manageable.
“Im not rich” *laughs in 360 CS and 992 GT3
Also: "It's not that quick, "only" 4.2 seconds 0-60.....
maybe not anymore...
@@dielaufsocke7642 nope.
And he's probably financed all of them. You're not rich when you have 3 financed cars.
@@ffcrackeryeah because the finance just pays itself and anyone can just finance any car
Top consumer advice: if you want an RS6, get a Panamera Sport Turismo.
doesn't sound ferocious enough
Prefer the RS6, although this isn’t a bad car for the money.
Useful consumer advice indeed
Quite, but they stopped making them
Tony wasn't lying Sam does seem to have a propensity for the deployment of linguistically vibrant expressions, often imbued with a robust and colorful vernacular.😂
The English is Englishing
Shakespeare is shaking in the grave

Coming soon a video titled "Why every car needs night vision" 😅
Not gonna lie, I have thought about putting it on my car. Just haven't figured out how to wire up a switcher between the regular front came to save my carbon splitter and a night vision cam.
Welcome to the club. Got the V8 estate (Turbo) and it's absolutely the best car I've owned. AND IT CAN TOW 2,300KG!!!!
Sadly you can’t tow with the hybrid 👎 all the battery stuff is in the way of the mounting point
Been waiting for this video for so long, it looks just as good as you described it on the podcast. Definitely keep it red looks mega
My all time favourite car. The Panamera never gets enough love from CZcams
If you’re feeling a bit gloomy - watch Sam and you suddenly feel more positive and happier. Sam is like a positive fix for the week!
Absolutely overjoyed to see this on the channel finally! By far your coolest daily imo. SO excited to see how this one turns out…
My dad bought this type Panamera 4 e-hybrid new back in 2017. It was an fantastic car!
Thank you, congrats on the new family hauler! Beautiful area to film. Since the car as plenty of room, perhaps for old times sake, you can go spotting with the lads in London. Or visit Luke, test the performance of the Panamera on those Alpine mountain roads. Cheers Sam, I hope the new car takes you far and wide to give us these cool Seen Through Glass videos and vlogs to enjoy 👍😊
I have to say, I don't get to watch your videos much anymore, but I love coming back to see what you're up to. Been too busy lately but it's been great to see the progression from the 4C up to now.
I love your dog just chilling/sleeping on the passanger seat
Absolutely love how much your pup loves the drive and your whole content recording routine,
amazing car and props for being transparent about price in your videos👍
Congratulations! I bought the same Gen 2 panny five years ago, and like you usually change(d) every 18 months but just love this car so much I haven’t felt the need to. Enjoy in good health!
Was excited to hear you’d got this. Interesting video and a lovely car. I too have a Panamera (albeit an older one). I’d dismissed them for years and bought mine on as a second car. Now I’m seriously contemplating a newer generation like this. What a great around car! Good luck.
LOVE these Panameras! i have always seen them as a 4 door 911. I love the spec on yours!
Congratulations Sam. I bought a Brewster Green Sport Turismo GTS a few weeks ago. Amazing family car. Enjoy your channel. Keep up the good work!
Love your “new” panamera!
Delighted for you Sam. I've always thought of Panamera's as being massive too, but your comment regarding the size of an F- Pace, put things into perspective. Love the exterior / interior combination too, so well done to the first owner for ticking those options and the vast list of others too. Enjoy!
Great video as always there are so many bargain used cars around with so much comfort and spec! Love the interior!
Congrats - I ran one of these (67 reg) for two years, loved it. Because I’m a yob I had a DMS remap. Turn med it into a beast!
Fantastic and underappreciated piece of kit. Been loving mine! Also the same color, model year, and trim funny enough.
Thrilled for you, Sam. Great choice, big congratulations!
Nice car. I’m loving the location it’s beautiful, I cycled a few of the roads you were driving on this morning.
Love video! I've always been a lover of big sporty saloons 🔥.
I’ve got one very similar to this; came off an i4 after an M5 and this is the perfect compromise- the road holding is astonishing for such a big car.
Very happy for you Sam! Porsche, There is NO substitute!
MPG is all relative to types of journeys - I have a 2020 Porsche Panamera e-hybrid and do 70% of my driving in electric mode. Charging overnight @ 7.5p/kwh means a 0-25 mile charge costs 63p. So if I do 1000 miles with 700 miles being in electric mode and 300 miles @ 25mpg it's costs around £100 for fuel & electricity. So 10p a mile - it's a fantastic package. My BMW M4 Comp was averaging 35p a mile so a decent saving for myself personally.
Great vid! I have a 4S Sport Tourismo and my family enjoys it. I think this model may actually appreciate seeing it’s been discontinued in the ST model. We’ll see, but for the time being, it’s a wonderful car for 4 family passengers to enjoy all together.
I had one of these in blue, bought from a Porsche Dealer. Ended up being a turd box, had to fight with Porsche for 6 months for them to fix it, they had 7 attempts, then had to not only threaten, but damn near drag them into court for them to take it back because they wouldn't fix it. Lovely thing but when one headlight costs £3500 and they depreciate so hard you have to question your financial choices.
Love the car sam! Been waiting for this video 👌
Great video Sam, really enjoyed it
Fantastic video Sam and what a gorgeous colour!
Congratulations to you new daily ride! Great choice :)
It looks absolutely cracking in red with black wheels! A splendid purchase
love that Chile help you to make this decision! greetings from here!
Having one for 2 years now and I love it! She is brilliant 👌
beautiful scenery! Love the car mate. congrats
Sam, thanks so much for this episode! I have been considering just such a car and yes comparing to some SUV. It seems to be a very useable car! Awesome review as always!
What a great car you've added to your garage!!
I have an 18 4s sport turismo and I love it. I have two 80lb golden retrievers and the fit in the trunk just fine. My son fits in the back and my wife is comfortable up front. But when you put it in sport plus with nobody in the car it’s still a Porsche. Such an underrated car
Editing and “script writing”
This is one of your best videos
I think it's a great choice Sam. Night vision is so good and really good and I'd spec it again. Deer, horses, foxes and of course people show up and if you're pushing on at night in a rural environment it's a God send.
Love it Sam!
Dad life brought me to be a proud owner of a 2015 Cayenne S E-hybrid with a paint to sample Peridot green metallic paint.
It is flawless and the original owner ticked every box for an MSRP of over 120k USD.
Great choice of car Sam! Many congrats 🎉
I have the non hybrid in night blue, wonderful car. Pro tip: the massage seats can be activated by a button in the middle of the lumbar 4 way button- no menu dive needed.
How can you adjust the strength? If I push the button it always goes back to soft
Imo this, the taycan, and the m5 are the most beautiful sedans out their. I love the new headlights they look amazing. Porsche did their thing with this one.
We are on parallel tracks! Also collected my first panamera last July as new family daily and haven't looked back! Amazing usable car. And in the garage, a Rapide AMR which is another of your favourites i think. And you're welcome to borrow for any content as you're not far from me I don't think!!
Excellent collection skills
Nice review. I’m also a new dad. We got a CPO 2018 4S Sport Turismo in December. It’s a do it all car and such a joy to drive and sit in. ❤ also very rare in the US.
Good choice. Looks great. From the interior camera shot, the black steering wheel looks a touch out of place but probably far more practical than a light-coloured one.
Congratulations with your new car Sam!
Great content got me looking for a panamera now.. 👍👍🙏
Fantastic spec, Sam; I love the paint color.
FWIW - I disabled the foot sensor for the rear trunk in my Ford Escape since it was closing on me and ive since had a hitch installed. I did this by pulling a fuse and I wonder if it would be similar for the Panamera. Congratulations on the new whip!
I too have owned far too many cars and luckily like you I have a toy in my Aston Martin DB11 AMR. I bought a Panamera 4S in October and have loved every mile . Best thing, I've not looked at Auto Trader in nearly 9 months - What an amazing daily
We just purchased a very similar panamera sport turismo. 1yr old, almost no km on the clock, amazing spec, most options ticked, for ~100k€. amazing value for the money
Great choice and nice spec!
Great choice!! Best value and overall package.
I’m so happy someone thought of dads mate and actually a car that usually gets disregarded between the 5’s and E’s and eff me the SUV’s of the family car world … please keep us posted Sam and congrats, I think I forgot to say that lol
I have always loved the Panamera, I'm excited! :D
Thanks a mill for this review. Was toying with Alfa Guilia quad or Golf R for family touring. I’m sold .. many thanks
Just contemplating buying one of these myself, so a timely review. Will follow with interest.
congrats on your new car , awesome spec
It's cool! I got an older A7 in January too. An upgrade (in space and performance) from my A4, that go too old. Great cars for family life. The color is very cool.
Nice one Sam, I've always had a soft spot for the Panamera. Glad you're loving it, and it ooks like Twiggy is loving it too!!
The dogs name is TWIGGY
Sam, I like your hybrid Panamera. Fantastic addition to your fleet 👌👏👍
Great vid as always Sam ! Twiggy is the star though 🎬
Awesome car Sam. It would look lovely wrapped in a dark green or dark blue finish!
Welcome to wagonlife Sam! Loving my Volvo V60
Great choice and idea
Always liked them.
Glad you’re enjoying it
😎😎😎👍👍👍
You can get an adapter for wireless carplay, carlinkit ones work great.
Great car Sam 😎
just got myself a 2019 sport turismo 4 last month as well, love it so far, very rare car in the US.
Great buying Sam.
Congratulations! I recently bought a PTS Rivierablue Turbo S Sport Tourismo. One of the best cars I’ve ever owned
Great video. Go s to show you can find high spec cars that are a few years old. Enjoy your panamera.
Lovely car!
You are living my dream car wise.
Also when you launched the car all I could think of was poor twiggy 🤣
You can fix wireless airplay. Quite a few USB connectors around now that turn wired carplay into wireless. I had one in my Audi SQ2 and it worked flawlessly.
Nice choice. Panamera wagons are super rare in the US. Right now there are a total of 7 CPO ones for sale in the entire US. Woukd love to own one of these or a taycan wagon at some point
Super cool phone case !
0:50 sick song 😎one thing I'd maybe do is de-badge just the rear emblem
Finally. I thought you were never gonna show it 😁
For full screen CarPlay try satnav systems near Tolworth in Surrey, Just off the A3. Just about to get mine done
My father has this one but in saloon form. Never have i seen such a mix of car. Its very fast, efficient enough and fun to drive
In the future i will get this or a 4S E hybrid👍🏻
As a Dad with two kids driving a 2011 Panamera, I love this video.
Snap. Have a 2011 s myself. It’s a near perfect all round car. Comfy, spacious, fun when it needs to be. Nice place to be, good sound system and even not too bad on fuel. Bought it on a bit of a whim but now seriously considering a newer model. I think they’re fantastic
omg the dog asleep in front seat is soo cute ❤
Too cute. I wonder what type of harness Sams using?
Love it. Had my eye on similar spec for a while, for me the musts are adaptive cruise, rear axle steering, heated steering, cooled seats, surround view and panoramic roof. The chalk interior would be lovely! Not seen something like this from Porsche directly for 55k that's a steal.
I wasn't aware of the New Forest, looks like a fantastic place!
I am in love with it!
This is my favorite Porsche, and I've been thinking about one myself... I love the shooting brake style, with 4 doors gives it a look of utility but sportiness.
Your journey sounds similar to mine, I could not process the Panamera at first, though about a half dozen buddies of mine own them - it just didn't strike me until one day I saw exceptionally nice looking one drive by, it was very well-appointed - then it hit me all of a sudden, it's a four-door 911
Once I wrapped my head around that, I got it
Great video and I would love to have have a Panamera as the family daily driver 😁
Panamera Turbo S is one of the best looking new Porsches it looks like the hatch version of a Taycan but goes faster and has that awesome engine
I bought a new Panamera last year and love it.
Hi Sam, getting rid of all the squeaks on my 2009 Audi Q5 consisted of replacing every suspension and engine mount bushing… it was less than $4,000 US and the car sounded like new on bumpy roads and speed bumps. Totally worth it. I’ve got 155,000 miles on the Q5. But probably not something you want to do given you will replace your Panamera in 18 months. 😊. I loved the video by the way!
Love the video and car Sam, great review and yes to not having a SUV
