Cars usually have two stops designed into the doors (one almost fully open, and another about half way) to prevent the doors closing on your legs, door dings, and to make getting in and out easier when parked on inclines.
Just learned the Porsche Panamera Executive has a system (not sure how it works) that enables you to hold the door in any position for 1 second, and it will resist closing or opening beyond that spot. Not sure if system is on the rears as well as the fronts.
Is it just the Executive or regular Panamera too? Anybody know if other Porsche models have this?

I went the longest time not realizing that car doors had stops built into them because my first two cars both had worn, saggy, aged doors that DID slam on my legs. Often.

Do you mean a "stop"-less door? A lot of luxury cars have that these days (S-class, 7-series, etc).

Did not know this. Do you know if they hold in a similar manner?

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "holding." Does the Porsche completely stop you from moving the door?

No, it's not locked. To move the door beyond the spot in which you've held it takes about the same force that's needed to move a conventional door beyond a "stop".

Yeah that's the same system as the other cars.

I have stopless doors. They used to stop but after twenty years of wear and tear they don't any longer.

my dad's 750li has this. You open it too a point and it just stays there
