Today, it remains a compelling choice for enthusiasts seeking a luxurious, high-performance daily driver with ample space, or for families who want a sports car that can accommodate passengers.
Owning a 2010-2013 Porsche Panamera (970.1) typically incurs higher operating expenses than average sedans due to its luxury and performance nature. Reliability concerns often center on potential issues with the PDK transmission, air suspension, and coolant leaks, which can lead to significant repair costs. Maintenance is generally expensive, with parts and labor for a Porsche being premium-priced. While insurance costs can be high due to the vehicle's value and performance, they may not be unusually so for its class. Overall, expect higher-than-average costs for fuel, routine servicing, and potential major repairs.
