Does the Panamera come with a spare tire ???

 

no. porsche believes the extra weight is not worth it. it comes with tire repair goo and a pump to temporarily get you to where you need to get a new tire.

 

4 year roadside assistance as well

 

Does the "repair goo" work?

 

it does work well enough to get you home if you are within a reasonable distance from a service station / home. I recommend you try it once just as a practice because it might me nervewrecking if you got stuck on the highway at 2AM with a flat....

 

Works fine on punctures, not so good for cuts or larger holes. I use it all the time on the ranch; on trucks, atvs, tractors, motorcycles. A mess for whoever has to eventually change it out. . .

 

Interestingly, I have a copy of the Porsche Parts Catalog which shows part numbers for spares.

19 Inch 970 362 050 00
20 Inch 970 362 070 00

 

Wouldn't be surprised if some configurations (Euro perhaps) carried a blow-up donut like the Cayenne has. But no way a 19 much less a 20 is going to fit in the back, so we'd be talking about a real lowrider!

 

There is no spare, the guy showing my family said that there's roadside assistance, so it isn't needed.

Thing is, you tend to get flats in random places, where sometimes roadside assistance can take awhile.
For instance, my family got a flat in a random valley about an hour from Park City, Utah. Roadside assistance would make it after we froze...

Roadside assistance sometimes isn't always reliable imo

 

so your on your way to vegas in the middle of now where..and hope road side service
does not leave you there for 6 hours.

 

Roadside assistance is often problematic --you might break down on a lonely road somewhere outside of cell coverage and be unable to make contact. Also, the goo can won't do squat for the hole that rock put in your sidewall, so you just might starve to death.

Buyer beware, this car may not be for you!

 

I cant believe this conversation is happening

 

I think offering a luxury sedan or sports sedan without a spare is ridiculous! You always get a flat in out of the way places. That being said, I still bought a Panamera S and love it. Purchased the wheel and tire insurance from Porsche just for good Karma.

 

You are assuming that most people can change a spare, and that's a big assumption.

 

no you might not change the tire yourself, but AAA will. I have had several flats; where the side wall was GONE, and almost was riding on the exposed rim.

If I got a Panni, I would get 21 or 22" wheels and it is nice to have a spare, just incase you need to limp home.

I was just asking, because I think it is silly for a daily driver does not have a spare tire in case of an emergency.

is there any room to add a spare below the carpeted area in the hatch. Kind of like the Maserati QP
