Porsche Panamera S

Base price: $106,600 As tested: $106,600 It looks like a 911 sports car coming at you, but its four doors make it a true sedan. There’s plenty of room for four plus luggage. The S is the mid-range model, more satisfying to drive than the 310-hp base without the overthe-top silliness of the 570-hp Turbo S.

We like: It’s a sporty sedan that gives you a satisfying drive. In short, Porsche ambience. Engine: 3.0L V6

Power/Torque: 420 hp/383 lb.-ft. NRC ratings L/100 km: 13.4 city, 8.8 hwy. (premium) What’s best: It’s a Porsche. What’s worst: Paying for the brand.

Value for money: Best in the Panamera range.
