Test Drive of the Panamera GTS (Late 970): What Only the 970 Has, What Only the GTS Has

Naturally, I also really liked the 970 Panamera, and especially the Edition was a wonderfully balanced car that made driving truly enjoyable. This time, I had the opportunity to test drive the GTS, so I’d like to share...

The Pinnacle of the Panamera! Test Drive of the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid

This blog originally started because of my wife’s love for the Panamera.

Test Drive Review of the Panamera GTS: Is the GTS the One to Buy, or Should You Go for th...

Previously, I have done a review of the Panamera GTS, but this time I was able to borrow one as a loaner for several days, which allowed me to experience it much more thoroughly.

971 Panamera GTS The other day, I had the opportunity to test drive the Panamera GTS (971).

So, how does the 971 Panamera GTS feel? Actually, last fall I participated in Porsche’s driving school (Porsche Track Experience) and got to test drive a Panamera GTS for...

What You Notice When Driving a Panamera After a Porsche Boxster

Panamera and Boxster Come to think of it, I haven’t written much about the Panamera on the blog lately. Since our home parking space only fits two cars, we rent several other parking spots elsewhere. And because the Panamera has been parked for a while at a spot a bit farther from home, it hasn’t seen much use recently. However, to avoid the battery dying, the other day we decided, “Maybe we should swap the...

Heading to Royu with the GT3 and Panamera One early Sunday morning, our family of four headed out to the Royu Driveway for the first time in a while.
