first impressions/ question

Just put 500 miles on my 15 Pana 4 today. All highway up to 90MPH. It was raining hard at points and the car never felt any different even in the heavy water spots on the road. Solid and straight. I got 31.5 MPH when doing 60. Drove for a while with A/C between 80-90 MPH and got 26 MPH.
Normal 70/75 got about 28 MPG. I was very pleased with those numbers on an AWD car. (19 inch wheels got to help over the 20s I assume).
Seemed when I put it from drive to reverse it takes a split second longer than I expect to feel it engaged. My imagination? Also the reverse camera when going back to drive stays on a few seconds after moving forwards it seems. Normal? Not really a big deal.
LOve the PDK but hope it holds out and doesn t give trouble like I see a few posts hear.
Car just eats up highway miles with no effort.

Agreed with NiceCar! I get pretty decent mileage with the 4S and I expect the S would do much better.

AGREED with your nice post, just put 350 miles myself on my 2016 Panamera 4 Edition.
I feel a bit LACK OF POWER coming from a Carrera S (2006), but of course you cannot compare both...the car drives very nice, it handles very well, it is smooth as a large touring sedan and everything electronics work flawlessly so far, except that when I put a CD on my CD player, I have not yet figured it out HOW TO copy it to the JUKE BOX, as it is grayed out and wont allow me?

I find it to be BAD when you first launch it, as the accelerator seems to have TWO-PHASES, as it opens up with a delay (my imagination maybe), but I feel it goes after that. I also find the back-up camera a bit ODD in comparison to any other cars, as it is way too low, it gives a good picture of your license plate...but does not let you see too far up...maybe normal!

The car is really nice, I like it, how can you NOT, it is a Porsche!
Cheers and thanks for the post.
Luiz

My understanding is the JukeBox can only be populated from your downloaded music on your iPod. You can't download music from a CD to the JukeBox.
