Panamera seat

The other day I was driving my Panamera when my husband

The Panamera is a very nice car.I just can't get over these electric seats with 14-way memory function.I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not....

My husband used to say that when he drove the Panamera, he would be "like...The seat doesn't fit properly.I often say to myself, "I'm not a fan of this. Up until now, I have been "Oh, really? It's totally normal and comfortable.He said the other day.I got to drive the Panamera GTS with 18-way electric adaptive sport seats.Sometimes, the seats were so thick and comfortable that they seemed to wrap around the whole...

Once I tasted this, I thought that the seats in our Panamera were indeed a bit thin and hard.

In driving a car, it is important toSheets are an important elementI think it's a good thing. Especially since I often drive long distances for touring, it affects my body's fatigue level.
We had the standard 14-way seats in our Panamera with the turbo without much thought at the time, but now I wish we had gone with the 18-way seats.
The 14-way seat is thinner than the 18-way seat, and the back doesn't seem to fit quite right in any way.I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not, but it's a good idea. So, personally, I don't feel comfortable with it, so I get tired easily. Well, I guess it depends on your body shape.

And. I see...

."Well, how did you do the GT3 sheet and all?When I hear the word

We've got Adaptive Sport Seat Plus (electric 18-way) seats in our GT3.I really wanted to choose carbon full bucket seats.I'm sure it's cool as hell. It's a very cool seat, and it's a valuable seat that can only be chosen by a model with a role. However, it's not thatWith carbon full bucket seats, the seats stand up and don't recline at all.I can't go on a long touring trip and take a rest with the backrest down because the backrest is too low.
I didn't dare to choose them because of that.

And.

Go on.

Also, I was thinking maybe a standard sport seat plus...I wanted the interior stitching to be the same crayon as the exterior color.The only way to do that is to choose the Leather Package and the Adaptive Sport Seat Plus as a set.
If you do not choose the leather package, you will not be able to choose the color of the interior stitching.

And.

It really is a complicated Porsche option....

Oh no... it's complicated w

Seats and tires are very important for a car

My husband on the importance of car seats.

I think the most important things for a car are tires, seats andI think that the tires are the only part of the car that makes contact with the ground and are very important. Tires are the only part of the car that makes contact with the ground, and they are very important. It directly affects ride comfort and handling, but many people don't pay attention to air pressure and tire brand.
The seat is the part of the car that is most in contact with the human body.I think it is very important in terms of safety and comfort. If it is flimsy or does not fit well, you will get tired easily, and it is dangerous if it does not hold your body properly in the event of an emergency.
Recently, the seats have become much better, but if the seat is flimsy and flat, like the bench in the mini cars of a century ago, even if you try to avoid something as quickly as possible, the lateral Gs will take your body with it, making it difficult to steer the car as you expect.
When you're choosing a car, you could care less about safety features.Before we can do that, we need to look at the sheet's performance properly.I think. It is directly related to safety and comfort.

Standard seat of Nissan Note NISMO S. They are quite thick and have a good hold.

When choosing a car, of course design, body color, engine, engine sound, and many other factors come into play, but the seats are also important... Once I start thinking about these things, I am lost, and it is extremely difficult to narrow it down to just one car among them.

These days, I feel that choosing a car is a very deep process.

    Hello Mina and Hiro.
    I have 991 Speedster envy from the other day!
    I passed another vehicle near my home the other day, but its presence was alien to me....
    The rest of the day was surprisingly quiet, perhaps due to regulations.
    Now, choosing a seat is very difficult.
    The 981 Spyder's sport bucket is hard to get in and out of, and too firm for city driving, but on a road with a series of curves, it holds up great and is very comfortable.
    The French ds7 I use as a foot is soft and comfortable itself, but in curves it takes my body from side to side in a spectacular way. The feeling of the Mercedes CL class was also close. (Of course, I think the suspension has something to do with it.)
    It is difficult to make an all-around sheet with a high overall score (T_T), although the good and bad will vary depending on what kind of situations it is often used in.
    I can't judge by the market degree, but the GT series Ferraris seemed to have a good total balance....
    I'm really worried about adding to my family....

      >The other day, I passed another vehicle near my home, but its presence was alien to me....
      Oh yes...!
      So even though these cars are rare, they're still on the streets!
      I have yet to see it with my own eyes, and I can't wait to do so.

      Back in the day, when I wasn't interested in cars at all (when I didn't drive myself)
      I had a selfish image that soft seats would be more comfortable to ride on.
      I guess I can't say it all at once.

      As you say, you can really see the difference when taking curves and turns.
      It's fine if it's just me, but if my family is going to ride too, I have to think about it a lot...

      >GT-type Ferrari seemed to have a good total balance....
      I'd love to ride it!
      I have only been allowed to ride in the passenger seat of a Ferrari twice so far, so I would like to try driving one...(but I'm afraid of crashing it!) ^ ^.

    Hi Mina.

    How have you been feeling since then?

    Since the standard physique of German car seats is different, there are some parts that inevitably do not fit Japanese people.
    But for Porsche, the options are different.

    I think BMW has slightly more room in both the M3 seats and the regular 3-series.
    I don't think there was an option for up to 18-way, with the only adjustment feature being hand-guided or electric.
    I don't know about the recent ones, since my interest has waned since the turbo...

    I really wanted to put a roll gauge on the GT4 as well, but for some reason I had to give it up because it is a set with carbon buckets.
    Personally, I've always had Recaros on my car and I just don't see the benefit of this price difference.
    The only Porsche carbon bucket I have actually sat in is the 997GT3RS, but it didn't fit me that well.

    I wonder how many 911 Speedsters are in Japan? I wonder how many 911 Speedsters are in Japan.

    I only bought a Cayman because Porsche was the only NA I could afford to buy new anymore (but RR was traumatized by the 930).
    To be honest, I was only aware of the limited number of cars, so I didn't think there were that few.

    But if it is that rare, I would like to see it once.

      Indeed, it seems to me that the difference in physique is significant to begin with.
      Carbon bucket seats seem to be a controversial issue...

      I haven't sat in one yet myself.
      I wonder if it is hard for women to see because they sink too deep. I am imagining such things.

      >I wonder how many 911 Speedsters are in Japan? I wonder how many 911 Speedsters are in Japan.
      Oh wow that's great!
      With only 1,948 units worldwide, the Japanese quota is probably only a few dozen...!
      When you think about it, it's very rare.

      I've never seen one with my own eyes yet, and I'd love to!

    I always look forward to your updates. My GT3 has sport seat plus because I drive everyday and I think bucket seat is too hard. I have no problem with comfort, but when I drive 10,000 km, the seat starts to make a clicking sound like a cheap sofa, and when I put pressure on my back, for example, by disengaging the clutch, a crackling sound is heard in the lower part of my back. In early spring, there was a strange noise on the left front wheel when driving at low speeds, as if the pads were interfering with each other. It became less bothersome as the temperature rose, but there is another noise that is bothering me around the shift lever when I turn about 7,000 rpm. I am not familiar with machines, so I don't know what it is, but it often makes a noise that bothers me. Does your husband's touring have any strange noises that are bothering you yet? Sorry for always asking questions. Please let me know if you have any more questions about strange noises.

      Mr. 991-2 GT3 MT
      Thank you for visiting my blog!
      I asked my husband about the strange noises the GT3 was making.

      'I don't hear any noise from the seats, but I do hear all sorts of normal noises when I'm driving. There's no sound insulation in it, and there's some noise coming from around the shift lever.
      I think that's what the GT3 car is all about."

  4. as it is

    Dear Mina

    It is just as it should be.
    From reading your blog, I am relieved to see that you seem to be in good health.

    Now, you mentioned again about the "ability to move the passenger seat in the Panamera from the driver's seat".
    Thank you!
    If it is as stately as the Panamera, I would like to see the passenger seat moved from the driver's seat and the steering wheel adjusted electrically.
    With the standard 8-way Panamera 4S, the passenger seat cannot be moved from the driver's seat, and the steering wheel can be adjusted manually, resulting in easy entry.
    It's as if it doesn't work...and if you are considering a Panamera, you should know that.

    However, I don't think we have considered the "sheet" itself that much so far.
    Let's just say, I've been on a thought freeze about the significance of the cost of the seats.
    I'll be thinking hard from now on!

      Thank you for everything.
      Thanks to you, I am feeling well and in good health.

      >It doesn't work as if...and if you are considering a Panamera, you should know that.

      Certainly, given the Panamera's style and ambience, there are things that would normally come as standard equipment.
      It's not so...^^;
      I would think that a two-seater sports car would be acceptable, but since it is a luxury Panamera, it seems even more incongruous.

      I wonder what will happen to that area when the Panamera late model goes on sale.
      I will look at it again ^^^.

    Good evening, Mina.
    When I was wondering about the order of Macan on the sheet, it is strange that the article I had commented on before feels like a different article (laugh)
    Moreover, the comments I made are unclear ... (laughs)

    By the way, as for the main subject, I am making OP4.5 million [Crazy Macan] in Miami Blue, and I am very confused as to whether to make the seat 14way or 18way.
    For the time being, 14way is named comfort seat and 18way is named sports seat, but when I read back the articles so far, Panamera and 911 both sports seats are more comfortable to ride, so I am lightly confused. We are (laughs)
    Since I will choose 21 inch wheels, I would like to make the seat as comfortable as possible, but which would you choose if you are Mr. and Mrs. Mina who have been riding a lot of Porsche so far?
    By the way, due to my taste, I plan to use a spring suspension with PASM instead of an air suspension.
    Since it only changes by 50,000 yen, I was thinking about 18way, but which is actually more comfortable? (Lol)

    Please teach by all means.

  6. ds124

    I'm sorry for the continuous throwing.
    As an additional note, the dealer's salesperson says that the 14way is softer ...
    If you want to ride comfortably, why not use Cayenne?
    It seems to be said, but due to problems with the parking lot of my house, Cayenne is difficult in terms of size, and I like the lightness of the raw Macan.
    Please help the lost lamb ...

      When I asked my husband, "Ride quality changes completely depending on the thickness of the seat and the feeling of hold, rather than the softness.
      In that sense, 18way is better.
      If you go up to 14way, the adjustment range is larger if you set it to 18way, and if you drive for a long time, it is completely different from tiredness, so 18way is better? "
      He said.

      Macan is good! !! !!
      Looks fun ^^
