Used FF or new Panamera Turbo?

I wouldn't do it. While I love my GTC4 Lusso, I just don't trust Ferrari build quality. You need a reliable car as a daily. Alternatively, just get both

I got two boys, and I got tired of them fighting with each other as to who gets to go in Daddy's sports car. Got the GTC4 Lusso, problem solved!

 

Used to have a Panamera as a DD ... very boring ... I am using an FF (2015) as my DD ... it’s amazing and fun w no issues

How many miles per year you made in Ferrari as DD?

 

Around 6000+ miles per year

Can’t speak about Panamera turbo, but I can tell you that I have a 2018 Panamera 4 and the car is an absolute beast. I love it.

 

Unless you have more than 2 people in your car a LOT of the time (and you don't want to deal with the seat moving forward), I'd go FF. Get it with power warranty. My business partner did 100K kms with his FF in all conditions. Still misses it, best all round car he's owned.

 

if it was so good why he sold FF? he don't have ever any electric issue?

 

He had a gearbox issue early on, but car was under warranty so they just replaced the gearbox. His only complaint was small fuel tank. Reason for sale was move to RHD country, very high KM already and now a V12 Lusso incoming.

 

what was sales price ? not many modern Ferraris with 100k

 

I'll ask him when it comes up. Was a swiss car driven over europe. 100K km in under 3 years.

 

Is your Panamera Turbo S fun to drive and much more functional that you don’t even think about the Lusso when driving it, or do you wish you were in the Lusso every time?

 

A 6 cyl "Beast" ?

 

Panamera is definitely more functional and more utilitarian than my Lusso, but lacks in the engine sound and interior luxury. Driving performance wise, the Panamera is faster than the Lusso in the canyons for sure. The biggest issue I have with the Lusso is the brake pedal feel. The first inch of travel on the Lusso brake pedal yield very little braking pressure and then after the inch, the brake comes on. It's not immediate as on my Speciale or my TDF. In this regard, the brakes on the Panamera Turbo S is much more immediate and provides a better feel.

To answer your question, I don't think about the Lusso when I'm in the Panamera or vice versa.

 

is the awd on the ff manually adjustable? can you turn it on or off with a setting? can it be used at highway speed in top gear?
thx

 

As a guy that has 3 Fcars I can safely call this a beast. Does it scream? No, but for a 4 seat car with awd it can get crazy.

 

What surprises you about the 4? Is it the low end torque, handling, etc?

The handling for a car that heavy is awesome. It really has a great kick coming off the line and if you bury the pedal at 30mph it will pin you in your seat like a rocket ship. On top of that the interior is beautiful, so this car checks all the boxes for me as a DD. I’ve also noticed it turns a lot of heads, which surprised me for a 4 door sedan.

 

OK.
Glad you like it......

 

I'm sure Porsche's reliability and excellent fit and finish help a lot, too.

 

No, it can not be turned off and it is not an AWD system it is a 4wd and it is not used beyond 4th gear. We have customers who drive their FF's year-round and we get a fair amount of snow here. With snow tires, the FF 4wd system is more than adequate for winter driving in all driving conditions. Below is a link that explains how the 4wd system works on the FF

great info, thanks!

 

That's because you have both!!....I drove the Pan....great car....I would not give up my Lusso for it but would be a nice addition if another family car was desired.....
