My husband has just taken delivery of his new aventurine green Porsche Panamera Platinum Edition Sports Tourismo Hybrid - he’s owned two Panameras in the past but recently had a three-week dalliance with a specially ordered Aston Martin DBX before selling it and ordering the new Porsche. Living day to day with a car is very different to test driving one and he concluded the DBX was too firm a ride, not such a good drive and much poorer technology. The minute he got behind the wheel of the Panamera in the hand-over bay, he declared it was like coming home. Cars defo bring out the emotion in him!
He’s had a few drives of my new Frozen Blue Taycan 4 Cross Tourismo and loved the smooth ride, the light interior I’d picked, the technology and acceleration BUT reckons it doesn’t quite come up to the Panamera. I know there’s been a bit of debate on this forum - I’m newbie so please forgive me - but I can see it’s defo horses for courses. His seems a more, well, serious car and he says in terms of drive, cornering etc it’s better than the Taycan. I can feel the difference as a passenger - he has the knowledge to give all the reasons why he believes it’s a better drive and why it sits tighter on the corners but I don’t. But I get it.
That said, I am totally in love with my very fetching, quick little number. We’ve both just had birthdays with zeros at the end so it’s a cracking way to celebrate the new decade!
