Late 2011 Panamera Turbo S or 2013 RS6, can't decide....

Hi matey

Yes I went from a panny to a 63 C7.

The first gen panny looks better in the flesh IMO than in photos....mine was black on black and fully loaded apart from ceramics...it was about 145k new!!

Build quality is next level makes Audi feel dire to be fair....driving position is second to none...as is the way you feel inside the thing.


Handling is unreal for a car of this size and weight...I’m sorry but it makes the C7 feel utter <beep> in the handling department end of story....A C7 would struggle on bendy B roads against one.

Thank a lot for your detailed reply. I find that the look of them has become far more acceptable with time and they look nice, I personally love the white. How were the 'ramics on a daily driver basis?

I know exactly what you mean about the build quality and how it made you feel having the interior almost wrapped around you. Our Cayenne Turbo was extremely similar internally and it was just a stunning and wonderful place to be sitting.

Handling. The PDCC and Torque Vectoring+ made our fat barge utterly defy physics, as has been said so many times across the interwebs before and I would expect the lower to the ground Panamera to just enhance that further, it really is something to experience, but I expect the ramics on the front of yours wight-wise helped too with steering feel.

If you like your driving then it has to be the Panny - much nicer drive

If you want to look like a photocopier salesman that has done ok, get the RS6

I thought the 535d was the dream car for successful sales people.....

Your image hasn’t come out unfortunately

It may have been in 2005

I still struggle to understand how Audi still refuse to install leather dashes and tops of doors as standard on their top end cars. It certainly puts me off spending big money on their cars.

Agreed

Audi’s interiors have dropped off massively over recent years

Interior quality and interior options.

C7 is well put together, but not as well as C6. You could option leather everything in C6, with C7 the exclusive and options were drastically reduced at launch and culled completely at face lift. For a 100k car it’s weak.

That's the real rub, the Cayenne/Pan-Am high end interiors are suuuuch a nice place to be in.

Now I am officially old (40, oh sh!t, 41 actually I think now, see, getting forgetful too with the ravages of Age), finding myself lusting after Volvos and car interiors that I want to curl up and sleep in seems to be becoming the norm.

I still bury the throttle with the best of them and I don't see that ever changing, but I find myself wanting to give royal waves to those I pass whilst doing it...

I thought it was only the C6 plus that got leather dash?

[doodlebug]

You could spec it on C6.

I much prefer the RS6 c7.

What about a M5 F10?

4WD or GTFO, that and I just have something in my head that stops me from buying Beemers.

Reasons (apart from the Beluga Whale guff) for not liking the Pan-Am appreciated darling x

[bam_bam]

M5s are AWD X-Drive now... but another £30k more than that C7.

[Mr Footlong]

exactly, still a Beemer too. I do still look but brain says no Beemer for me or bint.
