I've been driving a Panamera for 2 years and 8 months.

Large sedans are difficult for women to drive."I think there are many people who think that this is a good idea. So, how is it really? I have been driving a Panamera for two and a half years, and today I would like to write about what I think about it.

...But first, I would like to introduce a little about "my driving history". Those who read this blog may think that I have always been a Porsche enthusiast and a driving enthusiast", but quite the opposite.I started driving about 5 years ago now, and I started liking Porsche about 3 years ago.In fact, it was only recently.

In the 13 years since I got my driver's license at 18 until I turned 31, I had only driven a car about 5 times and had been a "paper driver with a gold license" for a long time. I mean, if I don't drive, why did I get my license at 18 with such enthusiasm?(And all from my own savings.)My behavior at that time is still a mystery to me (-_-).

Mercedes-Benz SLK350 rider

I was 30 years old when I married my husband. At the time, my husband was driving a Mercedes-Benz SLK350.

Every time I go for a drive somewhere, my husband gives me aDo you want to drive?"I was told to do so, but at the time I stubbornly kept refusing, saying, "No, I won't, I'll never do that. Even though my house was located in a hilly town and I needed a car to do everything, I took the bus or train to get around every day, and I did not go to the local supermarket on weekdays, but had my husband drive me there every weekend to buy in bulk.

However, when she became pregnant with her first daughterIt would indeed be bad if I couldn't drive from now on, in case my child got a fever or something happened to him."I began to think that my husband wouldYou should definitely be able to drive by the time you have the baby."So, I finally lifted my heavy shoulders and managed to drive to the local supermarket and back.

I just didn't feel like driving any more and went for a drive with my husband.Do you want to drive? I mean, you need to drive more!"When asked, "What do you want to do? I can go to the supermarket and back.(In fact, at the time, even 10 minutes of driving was incredibly tiring.)He was a passenger seat specialist throughout.

Then one day, when I finished my work a little early and arrived home, I received a text message from my husband.

Can you pick me up at Umeda in your car this evening?

...

...... huh (*_*)?

The designated location is around Hilton Plaza in Umeda(Only people in the Keihanshin area would understand...)And it's right in the middle of the city, in an area with half the traffic. Impossible!" I thought for a moment, "I can't do it," but for some reason, that dayBut it can't be like this all the time. Today is the day I must go!"I was ready to go, and I quickly got ready, got into the SLK, and got behind the wheel. Women are so much stronger when they become mothers, aren't they?

It takes about 40 minutes from my home to Osaka by expressway. I managed to get there safely. I was very scared, but I was able to drive properly even in Osaka during the busy time of the day, which was unexpected.(Maybe people just avoided me because I forced them to interrupt at SLK)I think I can drive too!"and confidence grew, and I have been able to drive anywhere ever since.

In hindsight, it may have been my husband's rough treatment, but...well, it turned out well.

Panamera test drive from Audi A3

Later, after the child was born, as expected.One SLK for two in a family of three.So I bought an Audi A3 as a family car. I drove the A3 as my main car, but at first I was scraping and bumping it all over the place and sending it in for repairs.

Then, a few months after my husband ordered his Boxster.Let's go test drive the Panamera for a bit."and the first time I followed him to the Porsche Center.The Audi A3 is approximately 20 cm wider than its width (1785 mm) and over 5 meters long.I thought that only my husband would test drive the car, but in the middle of the test drive, Mr. H, the dealer's representative, told me that he was going to take the car for a test drive."Since you're here, would you like to drive, too?"He said.

No, no, no, I can't do something this big! And it's left-hand drive!" But my husband and Mrs. H convinced me to drive. And how was it?I was so, so impressed.The first was the

Of course, I was impressed by the Panamera's driving performance, but I was also surprised byIt's easy to drive for such a big guy."This was the case. When you get in and sit in the driver's seat, you feel huge, but once you start drivingThe illusion of being in a smaller carI never felt any centrifugal force "oops" outward even when turning a curve. Even when going around a curve, there was no centrifugal force that made me feel like I was being pulled to the outside.

I can feel firsthand that it's a well-made car.I felt safe and protected, and the handling that moved as I wished allowed me to drive without feeling huge, so I thought, "This is easy even for a woman to drive.

Conclusion.

I've been driving a Panamera for two and a half years now and all I can think is.

Wives who say, "I'm not good at driving" or "I don't have confidence in driving," should drive a Panamera.

That is to say. The Panamera is easy to drive, as mentioned above, and has a park assist function, which sounds out obstacles so you don't rub or bump it unless you ignore them.

What I also want to emphasize is thatThe Panamera is not agitated or interrupted."That is to say.

On both highways and ordinary roads, people around you will drive at a reasonable distance from you, and if you put your blinker out early on, the probability that they will yield the right of way is very high, allowing you to drive safely and with peace of mind. If this were a minicar or compact car, I don't think this would be the case, and it would still require a certain amount of driving skill.

But I sincerely hope that women who think "Panamera is too big to drive" will be fooled and give it a test drive! I sincerely hope that those women who think "Panamera is too big to drive" will be fooled and try it.
