Quick summary
Total: 1,005 cars
The 2013 Porsche Panamera exhibits a significantly lower overall defect rate compared to the average car of the same year, with 104 defects per 100 vehicles, which is 53% fewer than the average of 219 defects per 100. Mileage-related trends indicate that as mileage increases, the defect rate for the Panamera rises, particularly in the highest mileage bracket. Notably, this model performs exceptionally well in categories like brakes and steering, with defects significantly lower than the average, while its visibility and electrical issues are also less frequent. However, it appears that tyre wear, while present, is not a standout issue compared to other categories where the Panamera excels.
