Is the fun of driving a Porsche in the handling?

The Joy of Driving Cayenne
I was driving our Cayenne E-Hybrid the other day. "I wonder why Cayenne is so much fun to drive.I thought again.
Then I asked my husband, who was sitting in the passenger seat.
I wonder why Cayenne is so much fun to drive.The Boxster and 911 have a pleasant engine sound, and especially with a manual transmission, I have a strong sense of driving by myself, and it is a lot of fun. I understand that.
But the Cayenne.It's easy to drive, quiet, comfortable, andYou would think that driving would become boring, wouldn't you? And yet, I enjoy driving so much that I want to keep driving. Why is that?
And. Then her husband, who was
Yeah...the Cayenne is very different from the Boxster or GT3. But it sure is fun.I think that's probably handling.Even though it's an SUV, you can drive it like a sports car, just like you think you can. No matter what kind of strange lane changes you make, you'll be able to handle them with more ease than you think.
this (something or someone close to the speaker (including the speaker), or ideas expressed by the speaker)Good handling is one of the main differences from other manufacturersI guess.Parallel steering geometry is the only way to go.In.
That said, the handling is not too severe like a supercar, so I feel it fits very well with the sensation of human comfort.
And.
Indeed...handling has a big impact. The first Porsche I ever drove in my life was a Panamera, and what impressed me the most was the handling.
."This is what I mean when I say "oneness of man and horse"...I was amazed," he said.I've never in my life driven a car that drove the way I wanted it to.I thought, "I'm not going to be able to do that.
My husband went on.
The rest.The sense of mass and grounding is also great.I think so. No matter how good the handling is, if the suspension is too fluffy, it will feel a little uncomfortable, and if the ride is too light, it will be less comfortable to drive.
The Cayenne has the smoothest ride of all the Porsches, feels more luxurious than the Panamera, and handles like a Porsche itself, so I think it will be fun to drive for a long time.
He said.
I know it is largely a matter of taste when it comes to ride comfort and ground feel, but I remember that when I tried SUVs from other manufacturers before purchasing the Cayenne, the ground feel was weak and a little scary to drive.
And you know what?It's comfortable, but the acceleration is amazing.The E-Hybrid is assisted by a motor, which makes it feel even faster, but once you step on the accelerator, it accelerates so powerfully that it is hard to believe that it is an SUV, and it is more than fast enough for merging and overtaking at high speeds.
I guess that's one of the things that makes driving stress-free. Also, the sound of the engine when accelerating is quite nice.
Come to think of it, when I was driving the Panamera Turbo, I didn't think much about going touring.With the Cayenne, it's like, "I could go touring with this."I think it's a good idea.
The Panamera is a luxury sedan after all...it has a great car size and a lot of power, so I sometimes had to choose the road, but the Cayenne seems to be able to drive on any road without hesitation.
and her husband.
I guess that's true. The Cayenne is an SUV, very comfortable, but still fundamentally a Porsche, I thought again as I listened to my husband's story.
It's been a while since I've been in a Boxster.
And later.I had the opportunity to drive a Boxster for the first time in several months.We have two-seater Porsches such as the Boxster and GT3, but with three children, including a zero year old, my opportunities to drive them are limited.
Wish I could ride more, though.I drive a Boxster or GT3 a few times a year at most.It's a very big deal. Conversely, it is precisely because they are rarely ridden that they are so impressive once they are ridden (laughs).
And when I drove the Boxster the other day after a long time, I enjoyed it more than I had imagined.
The weather was fine, so we opened the roof and drove through the mountain pass with the wind, soaking up the sound of the engine all over our bodies.
It is not an exaggeration to say, "I can drive in 2nd and 3rd gear while operating the clutch and shifter by myself and enjoy the bobbing and crackling of the exhaust and the sound of auto-blipping when I let off the accelerator pedal.What could be more luxurious...I enjoyed it so much that I thought, "What the heck.
And still.Porsche is fun to handle.I thought again. It turns the way I want it to and moves like my own limbs.
."Boxster is like a red rabbit for me.I was thinking, "I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do.LOL
Whether the engine is mounted in a different location, in a different size, in a two-seater or four-seater, in the latest water-cooled or old air-cooled version... the performance and appeal are completely different, but all models have the handling of a Porsche.
A Porsche is a Porsche no matter what you drive. I have never driven a Macan, and I hope to drive a Macan someday.

Cayenne looks good.
My wife, who used to hate Porsches, has come to like the Panamera, which makes me happy, but in less than three years it has given me four or five minor scrapes, including two on the curb.
Mina, which do you feel is easier to drive, the Panamera or the Cayenne? If you could review the difference in ease of handling of the car body from a woman's point of view, I would like to refer to it.
Mr. Ishi.
Mrs. B., you love your Panamera so much!
Lovely!
I, too, had an Audi A3 that I used to drive, and I rubbed it, bumped it, and did a lot of other things...
I remember taking it to the sheet metal shop many times...
>Mina, which do you feel is easier to drive, the Panamera or the Cayenne?
I feel like the Cayenne is easier to drive because of the higher line of sight.
I feel like I've been driving the Cayenne for so long that it's getting too easy and I'm not a good driver...
Also, I still love the Panamera, so...
I'm sorry, I'm not organized at all.
Once I get that sorted out, I'll be back with another blog post!
Thank you!
Oh, your manicure is beautiful✨.
I think the handling of the buttocks is 911-like.
Especially at highway interchanges, I can't help but giggle at the "glooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"!
When I enjoy the "character" of the car, I am happy to feel that I am driving!

Thank you!
I got my nails changed the other day!
>Enjoying the "character" of the car makes me happy to feel that I am driving!
You are so right!
I can surely enjoy the handling that only a 911 can offer when turning onto a highway IC!
