Always Taking the Golf to My Parents’ House Last week, I had work in Tokyo in the latter half, so I went back to my parents’ home with my daughters to ask them to babysit. Whenever I go to my parents’ place, the car I take back is always the Volkswagen Golf 7. This is because my parents still say things like, “You used to be a paper driver who even bumped into things in...
Panamera Sport Turismo A few months ago, my brother-in-law purchased a Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo. I’ve previously posted a comparison test drive article between the Panamera and the Panamera Sport Turismo on this blog. →【Reference Article】4 Key Differences and Overall Review of the Panamera vs. Panamera Sport Turismo – Comparison Test Drive Vol.2 Today, I’d like to introduce one of the options on this Panamera Sport Turismo: the “Ambient Lighting”.

The Sport Chrono Dial When I purchased my Panamera, I opted for the “Sport Chrono Package”. With Sport Chrono, a dial is mounted on the steering wheel, allowing you to instantly switch between Normal mode, Sport mode, Sport Plus mode, and Individual mode by turning the dial. At the center of this dial is a switch called the “Sport Response Button.” The “Sport Response Button” is a mode above Sport Plus. It activates for just...
My Husband Summarized His Test Drive Impressions The other day, my husband came back after driving his brother-in-law’s newly purchased “Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo,” so we did a test drive comparison on the Royu Driveway: “Panamera Turbo vs. Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo.” You can read that article here. →【Reference Article】What’s the Difference Between the Panamera and Panamera Sport Turismo? Comparative Test Drive Vol.1 At that time, my husband said, “I’d like to organize my thoughts...
Nothing Unknown Around the Navigation System The other day, I shared my thoughts on the convenient features around the Panamera’s touchscreen in my blog, but after talking with my husband, I realized there were many things about the touchscreen operation and functions that I didn’t know… In fact, my husband said to me, “There’s nothing I don’t know about the Panamera’s navigation system.” So this time, I’d like to introduce “Convenient Touchscreen Features My Husband...
Finally, the Panamera Sport Turismo. About a month ago, I wrote an article about my brother-in-law buying a Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo. →Reference article: Yesterday, the Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo arrived at our home!

Our 981 Boxster GTS Our 981 Boxster GTS was delivered in November 2015. This time, I’d like to introduce its interior. The Boxster GTS my husband purchased is a “2015 model, LHD steering wheel, MT transmission, black interior (all leather)”. The GTS comes standard with the Sport Chrono Package, Sports Exhaust System, Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), and bi-xenon headlights with Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS) finished in black. The additional options we chose are...
Better to take these photos now. It’s been 9 months since our Panamera Turbo was delivered, and dust has started to settle on the steering wheel, plus my younger daughter’s runny nose and drool have gotten on the seats (sorry for the gross details). I try to wipe it off whenever I notice, but I suddenly thought it would be better to take photos of the interior while it’s still clean. Regarding the Panamera Turbo’s...
Touch Panel Operation It’s been about nine months since our Panamera was delivered. I’ve finally gotten used to the buttons around the steering wheel and the touch panel operations. When I was still unfamiliar, my husband would say from the side, “Why don’t you turn on the idling stop?” and I’d panic, asking, “Wait, where is that!?” But now, that confusion is gone. So today, I’d like to introduce five convenient functions of the buttons...
My husband doesn’t really want a supercar. My husband loves Porsche but isn’t that interested in supercars. I asked him why that is. He’s been a car enthusiast since childhood, but when he heard his friends rave about the Lamborghini Countach or Miura as “amazing! so cool!” he thought, “Well, they’re cool, but not as much as everyone says.” However, he did think Ferrari’s “F355,” “360 Modena,” “F430,” and “F40” were cool, especially the F40....
