Which Porsche Panamera year has the most problems?
By owner complaints filed with NHTSA, the Porsche Panamera model years with the most are the 2012 (18), 2013 (13) and 2014 (13). Newer model years have had less time on the road, so their counts are naturally lower; compare years of a similar age.
Which Porsche Panamera years have the fewest complaints?
Leaving out the newest model years (too new to compare), the fewest owner complaints were filed for the 2017 (1), 2021 (2) and 2024 (2), out of 10 model years from 2012 to 2024. A low count can also mean that year sold fewer cars.
