Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

First set of pads and discs lasted 37k miles, but just done the next set in 20k miles, with no change in use or driving style.
I currently have a RS6, which is great but the brakes are awful (std not ceramics). First set of pads and discs lasted 37k miles, but just done the next set in 20k miles, with no change in use or driving style.
Thinking of a panamera next, but just wondered how well the brakes last and rough costs of replacement at Porsche.
No idea, but given they are also quite heavy I would assume it will be similar in terms of how long the non ceramics last. Or they will be bigger and then possibly last longer but also cost more to replace

Which generation of Panamera are you considering?
I had a 2012 GTS and it was still on the original disks (I didn’t have to touch the pads during my 20k mile ownership) at 60k miles and the dealer (Porsche Silverstone) wasn’t concerned about them when I traded the car in.
I then had a 2014 Turbo S with ceramics and sold the car with nearly 70k miles. The car had never had new disks (possibly had replacement pads before my ownership at 42k miles) as far as I am aware, and I was assured by Porsche at 65k miles that they had masses of life left in them. Replacement costs at Porsche were eye watering; £16k for the front disks and pads and £9k for the rear axle.
My next Panamera was a 2019 Panamera Turbo and when I bought the car (with 40k miles), it needed new front disks and pads. The cost of doing this at Porsche was around £2.5k - not bad in my view. The rears are apparently slightly more expensive (£2.7k from memory) due to the extra labour, even though the parts are less expensive.
Whilst ultimately effective I didn’t particularly rate the brakes in the 2019 Turbo - they never really felt like they had much bite but I might have been spoilt after my Turbo S, where the brakes were absolutely fantastic and very confidence inspiring. It took a little while to get used to how little pressure the PCCBs need but I’d always seek them out on the next one I buy.
