Porsche Panamera options - not related to driving but useful

Rewriting past articles
About a week ago, I finally did the heavy lifting and started rewriting past articles.(I heard that rewriting is usually to rewrite an article written by someone else, without changing the content of the article/text, but to revise an article you wrote in the past)to get started.
While this blog has some popular posts that get a lot of traffic.Every day, they often read our past articles.However, some of the past articles, especially those from the early days of the blog, are not complete enough to be shown to the public...
Originally this blog was calledI was writing to myself about my love of the Panamera.Since it was a blog, I was not conscious of making it easy for readers to read. I also thought that access would not increase that much, so I wrote it like a diary with a light heart.
So, when I reviewed the articles of those days, I found that there were typos and misspellings, expressions were wrong because I had less knowledge of cars than now, and the use of pictograms made the articles difficult to read... (*_*)
."This has to be rewritten properly at some point.I had been thinking of writing a book on the subject, but since there are more than 400 articles on the subject, it has been difficult to get started.
Just the other day I thought, "I have to do it sometime, so let's do it now!" and I finally managed to finish rewriting all the articles! That's great!
So, there are many articles from the past on this blog, so please take a look at them (laughs).
Convenient Options
Well, today I am going to write about options for the Panamera. In a previous post, I wrote about the "As for the Panamera's must-have option, it's definitely the rear axle steering.I wrote "the" but it is an essential option in terms of "driving". In this issue.Although not directly related to driving, it is very convenient to have it and I definitely want to put it on next time!I would like to introduce four options that I think are
(1) Soft-close door
The first is the soft-close door. This is the "It closes the door firmly from a half-door condition.." feature. At first I thought, "I definitely don't need this option," but now I even think, "I can't do without it!" I now think, "I can't do without it!
We have a 5-year-old and a 2-year-old, and when we drive home, one of them usually falls asleep.I have to get out of the car with my child in my arms.Often," he says.
When this happens, it is quite difficult to close the door while carrying children or luggage, so a soft-close door that closes by itself after a certain degree of closure is quite useful.
These days I'm so used to soft close doors that every time I get on my air-cooled 911 and close the door, I always end up with a half door. And "Oh, that's right, you have to close it properly at the end.I thought, "I'll have to close it again.
(2) Smokers Package
This is called "Ashtrays and cigarette lighters can be installed in the front and rear center consoles.(However, USB charging port is not selectable)Option. However, we do not smoke in the car.GPS Radarand I want to plug in and use the charging cable for my IPhone, so my husband makes sure to put it on no matter what type of car he drives.
(3) Cup holder cover
I think a cup holder cover would be a good idea.Because the kids would put trash and toys in the cup holders.When I'm not using it, I push the bottom of the cover up so that nothing can get in. I just prefer to have it there for that reason...
However, this is a free option, and I don't think there is any particular harm in having it.
Electric seats with 14-way memory function
The driver's and front passenger's seat height and seat position can be adjusted electrically, and the seat position, steering column position, and door mirror angle can each be stored in memory.
It is convenient that there is no need to adjust the seat position or steering wheel position each time before starting the engine, and the seat, etc. will automatically move to the position set by the driver once the engine is started, ready to go at any time.
Also, this is information I received from a reader, "Electric seats with 14-way memory functionIf you don't choose the option of "I'm not a fan of this.(Standard equipment for Panamera Turbo), ,Cannot operate the passenger seat from the driver's sideYes. I will introduce this area in the Porsche Owner's File later.
Other options
In addition, the "OtherPorsche Entry & Drive SystemI find the "+" to be very useful. This is a "Enables operation of locks and starting of engine without keyIt's very convenient. It's very convenient for those times when I go shopping and my child falls asleep and I have to open it while holding her in my arms. But I think my husband once said, "I don't want this kind of option that doesn't look like a sports car.
However, this is probably standard equipment on all Panamera models, even if you don't choose it as an option.(You can't choose it in the car configurator, but it's on there.)
As I was writing, I thought to myself, "If you don't have small children, you don't really need it.Since there is also the option of "I'm not sure," I guess the necessary options will change from time to time depending on the family structure and age.
If you have any options that would be useful to our readers, regardless of car model, we would be glad to hear about them in the comments or in a message.

The soft-close door was a feature I wanted to add, but after much hesitation, I ended up not adding it.
I was worried about what would happen if a small child took his/her eyes off the door and gently closed it by himself/herself and caught his/her fingers in it.
Perhaps there is a safety device, but we could not confirm this as it was not equipped as an option on the actual vehicles on display or other vehicles.
I would like to put it on this time when I replace it with the next Panamera.
In our case, we added 4-zone air conditioning and electric sunshades for the rear seats because of the importance of the rear seats.
I like it because I can control the sunshades on the children's seats from the driver's seat.
The ambient light is a delight for our 4 year old.
It is not genuine, but a navigation canceller was added.
This 971 has a large navigation screen, making it easy to watch DVDs from the rear seats.
This may have pros and cons, but in our case it is necessary because it is for long distance travel.

It's been a while! Thank you!
>I wanted to add a soft-close door, but after much hesitation, I decided not to.
Sure, it's scary to think about a child catching their fingers in it...it would be tough if it just closed...but it's really convenient and I'm glad it's on.

Oh, sunshades are good, too!
Ambient light would also be a lot of fun for children.

Lately, I've been wondering a bit if it would be better to allow the children to watch DVDs so they can ride along quietly.
We will also be happy to share this information with you when we share your comments.
Thank you!
