- Fuel gauge location – its hard to see it.
- Valet key location – Actual key to the car (metal piece) is hidden in the fob – its very hard to take it out if you have a keychain hoop/ring.
- Soft cushion inserts Option – its a waste of money – they are not that soft.
- Rain sensor not sensitive enough
- Trunk opening button on the door – one press will not open it. You have to hold it all the way until it opens.
- Window tint scratches if you dont install a felt or moss skin on the inside
- Ciggarete lighter /power adapters should turn off with ignition. They all stay on all the time
- No push button start (even in 2014 models) – best solution is a “keyless option” that gives you a ignition installed keyfob that you have to turn.
- Retracting cup holders could have been designed better and the inbuilt holders should have more depth.
- Stronger atenea for key alarm
- Better navigation system – its too slow
- More options should be set as a standard – everything is an option
- Voice control is an option
- There is no spare tire – you only have a gunk and a compressor
- Unlock/Lock button should be on the door (2010-2013) models
- Antenna booster for Satellite radio – reception is terrible
- Frame on the small window blocks the blind spot warning indicator on the passenger side mirror
- Air suspension could be a little more more silent (when raising the car)
- Delayed throttle response – easily fixed with $300 Sprint Booster
- Feel and lack of quality on the indicator and windscreen wiper stalks
- The AC, cool air system is rather soft, it just doesnt have enough fan punch/power
- Non-flappy, flappy paddle shifter
- Alarm that seems to find joy in going off for no reason (interior sensor failure)
- Terrible wind noise from open sunroof
- The inability to close the rear hatch from the front seat
- Front end noise in winter
- Bad blind spot
- 14 way seats are not really that comfortable
- Since its a big car, rear view through the mirror makes you feel like you are driving a limo
- Without aftermarket exhaust – it will never sound that good
On the other note, Panamera has the best:
- Ventilated seats are awesome – they cool very fast and keep you cool
- Excellent handling
- Good Economy for a sports sedan
- If you fold the seats you have pretty big trunk
- Very specious interior – expecially the rear seat compared to BMW Grand coupe and other compatible cars
- Very fast in a Twin Turbo Configuration
- Very quiet cabin
- Very quiet exhaust
- Very soft and smooth when you drive it on the Highway (surprising for a sports car)
