one of the most reliable cars on the market right now...

 

When you pull this one into a standard one-car garage door the mirrors have about 2-3 inches on each side, so it is definitely tight and you need to be careful about how you pull in/out. I absolutely recommend the front/rear parking radar & rear camera option to get past the rear vision shortfall. My car was delivered in June with this option, but the rear view camera was missing because of a video camera inventory shortage after the Japanese earthquake in March, I really miss having it, but the radar works well until the camera is also installed (Porsche told me today the re-fit program will start in the coming weeks). I am very careful about staying clear of curbs to avoid scraping the rims.

Although the car is physically wide it doesn't feel like that when I drive. The co*kpit is snug and the bucket seats in the back all come together in a great interior IMO.

The full adjust-ability of Normal-Sport-Sport Plus and coupled with any of the 3 ride heights (any combination of these 6 modes is possible) lets you adjust the performance and ride to whatever you feel like on that day. Steering is super precise and makes it handle like a sports car. On my commute I can get <14 MPG or >21 MPG, depending on my mood

 

Now that we know the M5 pumps in faux engine sound through the speakers, that's even more reason to get the Panny.

 

I have not found the width of the car to be an issue at all and definitely no worse than the M6. Also, parking w/the rear-camera (especially w/the guidelines turned on) is very easy.

 

4 BMWs and my first Porsche.

The bimmers werent bad but this panamera has been (knock on wood) rock solid. My car was a dealer launch car and still needs a dozen updates but I just keep driving it.
