Porsche Panamera, a combination of comfort and sportiness

Panamera, after car wash
Because my Panamera was quite dirty, probably due to pollen and yellow sand, I decided to order a hand wash at a local gas station that I usually go to. It was also dirtier than usual, so I asked for a one-step car wash that makes the car less likely to get dirty after the wash.
The Panamera was washed in about an hour, and when I went to pick it upIt was as shiny as a new car.Thank you...washing the car is so important...!
After that, I took the Panamera for a short drive around the neighborhood. Recently, I have had the opportunity to drive a 718 Cayman, a 911 GTS, and our 911 GT3, and I have been impressed with the "new" look of the 911 GT3.Porsche is too stiff for city driving...I often felt that the Panamera was a "good" car, but the Panamera's ride in town was still excellent.
It is smooth, luxurious, and really comfortable, absorbing the impact even on slightly rough surfaces, with virtually no residual shaking.I'm not a fan of overly soft suspension in luxury cars, but the Panamera is aThe basis is hard and there is smoothness.I like it from the "I love it" section.
Even in a city with traffic lights and heavy traffic, there is a feeling of comfort and ease that makes you want to drive as far and as long as you want.
We also have a Panamera in our house.Rear axle steeringIt has the option of(At low speeds, the rear wheels steer in the opposite direction of the front wheels, making the vehicle easier to handle when maneuvering and reducing the turning circle. At high speeds, the rear wheels steer in the same direction as the front wheels, improving driving stability and agility, especially when changing lanes at high speeds)
This option was designed to allow the husband to "get thedefinitely attachThis is an option that was installed by saying, "I want to use this car for a long time," but it allows the car to make small turns when turning at low speeds in town and when parking the car, instead of making large turns. It is amazing that such a huge car can turn in such a small radius.
It's just a personal feeling, but my husband rides to work.Nissan NotebookDespite the more compact body of theWhen parking, the Panamera is by far easier to turn and park than the Note.
Thanks to these options, driving the giant Panamera around town is stress-free.
There is no doubt that the Panamera has a large body size, but after driving it for a while, you will get used to this sense of size. On the contrary, this large body gives me a sense of security, and for a while, I was like, "I've got to get used to this.If it's not this big and heavy, I'm afraid of the opposite.I even thought, "I'm not sure what I'm going to do now.
I just ran around the neighborhood that day and came home.The Panamera also offers outstanding performance on the highway.High-speed stability, ground feel, and the accuracy and smoothness of lane changes at high speeds are tremendous. The car moves quietly and smoothly, just like a bullet train. The power of the car, which accelerates normally from 8th gear as if nothing is happening, is astonishing.
Of all the cars I've had the pleasure of driving.The Panamera is the number one car that can be driven on the highway with peace of mindI guess so.
I have driven alone several times on the expressway from my home to Fuji Speedway and back, a distance of about 1000 km, and even then I was not tired at all. Almost no forced interruptions or agitation, and ACC(Adaptive Cruise Control)I think it is important to note, though, that the
Ah...writing this makes me want to drive the Panamera on the highway...I guess I'll have to hold off for a while.
Winding, my husband thinks Panamera, etc.
It is also a great car to drive on winding roads. I have driven the Panamera on the nearby Ashiyu Driveway and the Hakone Turnpike, and it was a great ride, thanks in part to the rear-axle steering.The vehicle has little roll, and turns so smoothly that the driver feels as if the vehicle were one size smaller.
Of course, it feels larger and heavier than the Boxster and GT3, but it's still a "good" car.It's amazing how nimble this body size and weight can be.I am always impressed with the
As I've written many times on this blog.The Panamera is truly amazing in that it combines "comfort" and "sportiness" at a high level.It is a fun, stress-free all-rounder that is enjoyable to drive anywhere in town, on the highway, or on winding roads.
My husband hasn't driven a Panamera in a while, either.
It's been a while since I've been on the Sport Plus, and I've been winding down.It's been almost three years since I took delivery of the car and I'm still impressed.
When winding down, the car seems to have become smaller and more nimble, and turns smoothly. Where did that sense of massiveness go? The charm of the Panamera is that it changes so drastically.
He was a great admirer of the company.
I am currently ordering a 911 (992) Cabriolet to replace my Panamera, but due to the new Coronavirus, the production quota has not yet been set and I am not sure when the car will be delivered.
I think it's time to move on to "We were unable to secure a production quota this year.I even said to my husband, "I don't care if I have to keep driving the Panamera...or rather, I would be more than happy to do so...".(Sorry, Mr. H., the dealer. W.)
I have been holding off on driving the Panamera recently because it is almost at 30,000 kilometers, but when things settle down, I thought I would like to go back to driving it. The Panamera is still amazing.
Well, changing the subject a bit, I recently drove the Boxster on the Sundabrückring. Again, I have put together a video of it, so please take a look if you like.

Hi Mina.
I will comment here.
Regarding the delivery time for GT4, it seems that they are not functioning properly, including parts manufacturers, and if they are not good enough...
He said the car might not be delivered before the end of the year.
I don't think it would be the first thing not to be made, but in the case of Porsche, without any announcement.
I was threatened with the possibility of discontinuation of production ・・・・.
I'm planning to let go of the WRX in the fall when the insurance changes over, but I'll have two cars on hand.
I want a conclusion as soon as possible because I want it.

Hello. Thank you for your comment.
GT4 delivery date... yes...!
If it's not good, the car won't be delivered before the end of the year... but the way things are going now, even if the Porsche factory is up and running...
It is very possible that the parts will not be delivered to the factory....
Our family ordered a 992 for our Panamera in time for the inspection.
I'm sure I won't make it to that, and
It's hard because a lot of math can go wrong...
I drive a 981 Boxster, mostly on mountain passes.
I always enjoy reading this blog and find it really helpful.
I enjoyed this video as if I were driving it myself.
I don't have any local knowledge of Kansai, but the route I know is atmospheric.
The atmosphere is that you avoid R148 from Hakuba and exit to R148 via K33.
Running against the navigator is also a good way to be assertive.

Thank you for visiting my blog!
I see that you are driving a 981 Boxster ^^^!
>The atmosphere is that you avoid R148 from Hakuba and exit to R148 via K33.
I see...!
Hakuba is a land of longing for Kansai people...!
Someday, I would like to drive my Boxster in Hakuba in summer.
We look forward to working with you in the future.
Mina.
Thank you for your reply.
I go to Hakuba for skiing 1-2 times a year including GW every year, but this season there is a lack of snow and the Corona
I was not able to go due to the influence.
Driving around Hakuba with a view of the Northern Alps is great, but soba noodles and slippery alkaline hot spring water are also great!
Enjoy.
I haven't been to Hakuba yet since I bought my Boxster last October, but I've been to Azumino from
I look forward to an exhilarating ride over Hakuba.
Hope your Corona settles down soon!
yellow submarine acid
Yes...there was indeed a lack of snow reported in the news this season.
Besides, it's Corona...
I hope things will settle down soon and you will be able to drive freely again.
Good way, I'd be happy to learn more about it ^^^.
Thank you for your continued support!
Nice to meet you.
I always enjoy reading your blog.
I ran the Sundable Clink that was recently uploaded to the video.
The course has a series of moderate corners, which I like, and there are also good views and a delicious soba noodle restaurant.
Thank you for introducing me to this interesting road.
Mr. BL5 rider
Oh thank you!
You also have a good soba restaurant.
In this day and age, it is not easy to travel far, so it would be nice to have fun in the neighborhood.
I would be happy to learn more fun ways to get around.
Thank you for your continued support!
