My brother-in-law bought a Panamera...

I wrote a blog the other day about how my brother-in-law might one day buy me a Panamera Turismo, but it seems that my brother-in-law will not buy me a Panamera Turismo after all. Too bad...(-_-)

→ Then eventually my brother-in-law bought a Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo.
Four differences between the Panamera and Panamera Sport Turismo and general comments - Comparative Test Drive Vol. 2

Incidentally, when my husband was at the Porsche dealership the other day for car insurance, he saw a Panamera Turismo, and it seemed that he had to sit across the console in the back seat.That's not a 5-seater, it's a 4.5-seater...He said.

Certainly, if I wanted five people to sit comfortably in a Porsche, I would prefer a Cayenne or Macan, and I would prefer a Panamera that can seat four people comfortably.

Mercedes-Benz SL500 (R129) came to our house.

The other day, my husband bought a Mercedes-Benz SL500, which was made in 1997 and is a classic car. 5000 cc displacement in 1997 is said to be amazing in many ways. Here is my husband's opinion.

(1) Ride comfort

You can ride without being in battle mode like a Porsche. It is always relaxing. It is comfortable to drive on the road that goes on and on and on. Porsche is pleasant, but it is more enjoyable.

(2) Handling

There is a lot of play in the neutral area of the steering wheel, but the car turns well from a certain angle. On normal curves, the car turns on the rails without increasing the angle, which is very pleasing.

3) Engine

The engine is a practical engine with enough power for any speed range. It is not as much fun to turn as the Porsche. Also, for a 5L V8 in the front, I don't find it hard to turn.

(4) High-speed stability

High speed stability is high.

(5) Brakes

Brakes are sweet. Scary compared to Porsche.

(6) Ride quality

The taste of Porsche's ride, so to speak, is Ippudo's kata-men, while SL is a delicious Sanuki udon with a firm texture.

7) AT

The automatic transmission is smooth. Smooth city driving with lots of stop and go.Might be easier to ride than PDK.I am going to do a restoration of the car now and gradually make it look more like a new car. We will also gradually restore it now to bring it closer to a new car, so it may look different by then.

The fuel consumption is said to be around 5km/l to 6km/l. Incidentally, the fuel consumption is said to be around 5km/l to 6km/l.

The SL is a two-seater, so it will be a while before I can drive it because I have to leave my children at daycare or something.(By the way, it takes two people to open the roof manually.)

These are my husband's impressions of the Mercedes-Benz SL500 he bought.
