Have had my panamera 4s for about a month now. Have several comments/observations/likes/dislikes to talk about. The first (and really only) dislike is the steering feel. To me it seems very light. Would love to hear some feedback from other owners on the steering feel. Yes mine does have the servetronic (sp) option. Now I wish it didn't. More to follow.

Congrats on your new Pana. I felt the same way regarding the steering, but I am becoming use to it now. Feels really light compared to my Volvo, which reminds how light the steering in the Porsche is everyday!

I have a 2010 where they called it Variable Assist.

Mine is a 2010 also. I wonder if anyone has a non assist car? When I was shopping...every one I looked at had the assist option.

Mine does not have it. The salesman said none of their cars had because of the reasons stated above. I think I have to agree. I certainly do not have any problems with steering. This optoin is only $270. How much of a difference can it make?

its a big difference, at least to me. I have the variable assist as well and the feel is incredibly light. I live in the city so i actually like it because its practical but if i lived in a suburb I would probably not opt for it

When you put 22'' wheels its perfect
I would rather have it easy than heavy. My GTS doesnt have it and it sucks

You think the 4S is light with it, the 2wd Panas are worse with it, almost squirely!

We have had a little snow and ice allready, but mostly cold and dry. Soon there will be too much of it. What do you want to know?

I test drove both Panni with and without servo before I ordered one and yes the servo makes steering way too light and without servo its better but not a dramatic improvement.

Yea it depends on the driver, we purposefully optioned the servotronic because a mature lady is driving the Panamera 1/2 the time.

Gotta personalize the car to your taste, it you want to be Micheal Schumacher don't select servotronic.

Personally, I felt without servotronic, the steering was fine. But apparently as one ages, one's tastes' change.
