you bought and paid for the car, so do what you feel, but i think it's asking for 2 much attention, but you can do whatever you want...

 

down. i find the rear collects a lot more dust with it up around town. guessing the air flow changes and more dirts collects rather than flows away.

 

Definitely down.

 

Car gets way to much attention regardless. Secondly, only the owner knows if the spoiler is "locked" into the up position. The general public doesn't have a clue. This cars are so few and far between people just catch glimpse's anyway.

 

i like to keep it up ....

 

I usually keep it up all of the time, to me, the car looks better with it up, regardless of what I think other people might think about it. I think it screams "look at me" more to someone behind you when it comes up and down, again, which I could care less. And really, does a small wing up in the back all of the time really make you look "poser-ish?"... give me a break.

Like putting bling wheels on it is any different? Its all about how you want your car to look to you.

 

Sometimes I feel like it up.... Sometimes I feel like it down.....

 

You mean sometimes you want to go fast and sometimes you want to go slow.

I am not surprised to see more than half of you leave it up because most of Panameras that I see have the spoiler up at all times.

 

Ummmm....you guys do realize that Parking your Panamera with the spoiler up is the easiest way to have your car scratched, vandalized right? Its a total ****** move....so is driving at 20 kmph with the spoiler up.


People will vandalize your car.


For a young guy (20's...30's) -- you can drive with the spoiler up...older than that (ie. gray hair, lines) -- keep it down, let it come up automatically -- what are you trying to prove?

 

As I drove the highway last night and my spoiler came up I also noticed that the spoiler blocks the bottom five inches or so of the view out the rear window...Less visibility for the driver when you are driving around the city and through parking lots at low speeds, but it looks cooler, huh?

Do what you want it if makes you feel good, but its kinda silly....

 

That i can get it up at all time?

 

Give me a break. Is that your mindset, you would vandalize a car if the spoiler is up?

 

I did have my car vandalized in Canada when I first got it. I didn't have the spoiler up, BTW. But it scratched up on purpose buy the car washer's at the hotel. Ottawa blows major chunks in my book because of this!

 

Every Porsche I've owned has had the spoiler set to automatic. To me, leaving it up, even as low speeds is saying 'look at me'. My personality is more subtle, preferring to act like I've been there and deserve it, less about acting like I'm still trying to get there.

 

I also tend to think the rear-end of the Panny looks like crap from all angles, except from dead behind the car. To me, it looks even worse with the spoiler up, standard spoiler or turbo/spit version.
