Thank you all!

To those of you who always read our blog, thank you for finding this blog written by a couple of maniacs among the many car blogs and visiting it. To those of you who write comments on our blog, your comments are a great encouragement and motivation for us to keep the blog going. Thank you very much.

The other day, without thinking, I went back and read all the comments I had received on my blog. And then I noticed something.

He said that readers' comments are truly a real voice and a treasure trove of information.

Comments.It contains the real voices of Porsche owners, prospective Porsche buyers, and car enthusiasts, and this information is valuable and not found in any motoring magazine!I am sure that you, the readers, do not usually read through the comments section. However, I don't think readers usually read the comments section, so today I would like to share some excerpts from the comments I received.(Some comments have been edited to show the context before and after)

Some of the comments we received

〘Waiting for Panamera 4E-Hybrid delivery〙
I also ordered a Panamera 4E-Hybrid last month and am looking forward to taking delivery of it in November. Panamera 4E-Hybrid, the engine won't start when the battery charge runs out...what? I thought, but that's been fixed. Good. I chose the Panamera 4E-Hybrid because I too thought "the future of Porsche Sport is Hybrid"!(Leman's influence.)
I saw in today's news that "Porsche to withdraw from diesel, half to EV/HV by 2025." Will there be an EV/HV 911 in the near future?
I see that the Panamera 4E-Hybrid, acceleration and torque are better than the 4S. I've actually never driven the Porsche itself since I signed the contract without test driving it. Various reviews have convinced me that this is the way to go, lol, so my expectations are high! (Mr. SN)

Comparison of 〘718 Boxster (MT/PDK) purchase price〙.
When I gave up my 718 Boxster MT in the past, I was surprised to be told that the purchase price was higher for the PDK than for the MT. I thought that the MT would be valued higher in terms of rarity, but it was explained to me that this was only because the option price was set higher for PDK than MT when purchasing a new car. Perhaps this is because the 718MT is still available for purchase as a new car, and MTs before 981 or 991.1, which are already unavailable for purchase, may be valued differently, but it seems that MTs do not necessarily have a better resale depending on the model of the car. I will still choose MT in the future, though. (Mr. B)

〘Air-cooled 911 and water-cooled 911〙.
Our 911 is a 2000 996 Carrera. It is the cheapest model of all the 911s of the past generation with the lowest circulating price. I have owned a 964 Carrera 2 before, but I like the 996 better because it is quieter and easier to drive. I am also looking forward to seeing how your husband's interest in air-cooled cars develops. (shimoyannjp)

〘Warranty and insurance are important in case of emergency〙.
I drive a Boxster 718. Just after 2 years, it had a coolant leak and was at risk of overheating, so I sent it in for repair. And soon after the repair, I was re-hospitalized with the same problem, and was in the hospital for about a month. At that time, I was really glad that I had insurance. Even if it is new, it breaks down when it breaks down. (Mr. Takap)

I am interested in the 〘new Cayenne〙.
I had no interest in the Cayenne because I don't like the way SUVs roll, but after reading your review, I decided to test drive one myself. The dealer told me that the upcoming Cayenne will not roll, but I guess it wasn't sales talk.
I am happy with the base grade and happy with my wallet. I thought Tiptro was like a compromise version of PDK, but it seems that Tiptro is better in some areas depending on the application. (Mr. Ishi B.)

〘Targa wind entrainment〙
I am a Porsche enthusiast who drives a 970 Panamera S Hybrid in Hamamatsu, Shizuoka, Japan. I used to own a 911 Targa with an 85' wire clutch and you can't imagine the amount of entrapment. With the roof off, the car looks good standing still, but my hair is blowing in the direction of the windshield, and it is impossible to drive with a woman beside me. I remember such a thing and wrote this ^^(igu19)

〘Recommendations for long touring〙.
Not to be a "crazy, touring around like a madman," but I too have a 981 Boxster with a manual transmission, not as fast as the GTS, a 2.7 liter base model, but I still share your husband's passion for the Boxster. I am not as fast as the GTS, but I can still relate to your husband's passion for the Boxster, so I thought I would comment.
From my perspective as a Kanto resident, the inland areas of Hyogo and Kyoto prefectures and the Sea of Japan side seem to be full of good roads. I really want to go touring in this area again, including neighboring Fukui, Tottori, and Okayama (wata-san).

〘Air-cooled to 981 Boxster〙.
I always enjoy looking at your site. I started my Porsche career with air-cooled cars, which is the opposite of the normal route, and although I can't drive like you, I wanted to drive a little more distance than with air-cooled cars, which is how I ended up with my 981. The world of hobby cars is wide and deep, so why don't you put one in your garage without regard to cost-effectiveness?
I am most interested to see how it will be written here on the blog, that's what I am most interested in lol. Thank you again ^^/ (air-cooled imitation (MOCO))

〘Panamera Sport Turismo〙
The nice thing about the Panamera Sport Turismo is that you can stand in the center section of the rear seat when your child is in the car seat. In the previous model, I said, you can't stand there! I said... Also, the rear gate opens from bumper level, so it's easy to put heavy large suitcases on it. By the way, I saw hereput down a non-slip sheetI was able to copy that. Unfortunately, you can't see the rear spoiler sticking out from the interior. (Neriten)

〘We are seeking the real voices of Porsche owners〙.
That's exactly what I'm looking for. It's hard to get real information about Porsche and I want concrete opinions from people who have actually driven one. Especially, there are too many options and I don't know if I really need them, and the delivery time is too long... I can't take a step forward. I have driven BMW, Audi, and Mercedes so far, but Porsche is kind of high on my list. But the other day, I went to see the Macan and test drove a Panamera, and now I can't get it out of my head! It was easy to drive for being so big. I used to drive an Audi A7, so size-wise it might not be a problem. Please keep sending out more and more information. (kuni)

〘The last 6-cylinder 981 Boxster (MT) 〙
I like 981 MT too (right). I have been doing something stupid like switching from 981PDK to 718MT and then back to 981MT again because I missed the 6-shot NA. 718MT was easy to drive and you had to be careful of stalling at low speeds, but 981MT is easy to drive, so I think you can master it quickly if you have the motivation. The 718's chassis has been improved a lot and the handling has evolved even more, but I will miss the 6-engine Boxster in the future. (Mr. Ishi B.)

〘Rear Axle Steering and the American Car Buying Situation〙.
Hello Mina. I am looking forward to reading this article. I think rear wheel steering is an essential feature. The Lexus I used to drive had this feature, and unfortunately it was difficult to see the effect (which is a problem in a sense that I know this well (^_^;)), but it does help with small turns and stabilizes the "turning". I recently visited a Porsche dealer in the U.S. and was a little shocked to find out that I could get a quote for the same specs of the Panamera Turbo I want for about 10 million yen less (30 million vs. 20 million yen). Changing to Japanese specs is a lot of work, isn't it? (How do you support your life?)

〘Opening and closing the oil feeder cover of a Panamera〙.
Finally, the car will be delivered in a little while. I am really looking forward to it. Our new Panamera was delivered in September and we like it very much, but there is only one problem. The new Panamera has a problem with opening and closing the cover of the oil filler opening. Once you get the hang of it, you can get by, but from a practical standpoint? I am not sure. Please check with your dealer when you take delivery of your car. (Mr. Kuma Kuma)

〘Recommended road in Kansai〙
Good evening Mina-san, I used to run a lot in my 20's. One of the most famous places in Kansai is Koyasan in Wakayama. Why don't you go to Ryujin Skyline? I think it would be fun if you have a Panamera. Recently, I have been driving around Mt. Katsuragi in Nara on my days off. (by sutearing-bouya)

〘Panamera from order to delivery〙.
When I was in high school, I saw a Porsche 928 and fell in love with it at first sight. I wanted to drive it someday, but it was discontinued. I ordered a Panamera 4s in mid-May and am currently waiting for delivery.

I ordered a Panamera after the May holidays, but still not even a production quota has been set.

I just got a call from my rep and the January production is confirmed. While I was waiting, I made some changes to the seats and options based on the blog here. I was thinking of changing from a 4s to a turbo and imitating them all, but I fell in love with that pleasant high engine sound, so I'm not changing the car model, but confirming the order. （Boyasuke)

About 〘911〙
I would love to drive a 991GT3 PDKsports, but for everyday, I would prefer a 911 Turbo! I think the rear wide body is sexy. (Mr. R230BRABUS)

〘Panamera Specifications〙
I am now considering switching from a Maserati Ghibli to a Panamera and find this blog very helpful. I plan to get a plain Panamera with no turbo. However, I would like to have the white-colored seats as an option ($780,000). The exterior color and wheel inches are my main concerns. (adachi671266)
