Panamera or Cayenne?

The other day, a Porsche owner who has always been a great help to me asked me this.

Mina, who has always loved her Panamera, now drives a Cayenne, butHonestly, if it were a Panamera or a Cayenne, which would you prefer?I know it's a hard question to answer in general and difficult to answer, but I thought I'd like to hear your thoughts.

And.

I couldn't think quickly at the time and responded as if I understood, so I went home and thought about it a little. I went home and thought about it for a bit.I had a 970 Panamera Edition for a year and a half and a 971 Panamera Turbo for about 3 years.So, I wonder if it were me....

In conclusion.I can't decide because they're both good.I arrived at a place called(Hey, W.)If I had to guess, I'd say, "Cayenne if you already have a Porsche sports car at home, such as a 911, Boxster, or Cayman.It's nice to have a "good" and "If not, then Panamera.I wondered if the "good" was good enough.

Panamera and Cayenne

On that basis, what words would you use to describe the Panamera and the Cayenne respectively?

I know this is subjective, but if I had to describe the Panamera in one word, it would be.A sports car that can comfortably accommodate four peopleI think it's "very comfortable to drive at low speeds in town. It is very comfortable at low speeds in town, surprisingly fast on the highway, can be driven on winding roads, and can even be driven on a race track if you want to. The back seat is spacious and comfortable, and the family can ride comfortably.

However, the Panamera is a sports sedan, so of course it's bigger and more luxurious than a 911, etc., but when I was allowed to drive the Cayenne, I was like, "The Panamera is a sports car.I was reminded of this again.If I had to choose between leaning more towards Cayenne or 911, it would definitely be more towards 911.I feel as if it is.

In fact, I would love to go to a Porsche driving school or drive on the track in a Panamera, but I don't think I would be so inclined to do so in a Cayenne.(A lot of people come to Porsche Driving School in a Panamera)

On the other hand, if I were to describe Cayenne in one word, it would beRunning family carI wondered if it was."(Vocabulary...W)It is an SUV that can comfortably accommodate five people, ride comfortably, and pack a lot of luggage, so it has a strong family-oriented element.But that in no way means that they sacrifice driving.

The car is very stable on the highway and accelerates well.It is a passable family car, but there is nothing about it that makes me feel a little uneasy or dissatisfied when I drive it.

Of course, domestic SUVs and SUVs made by foreign manufacturers are superior in terms of interior luxury and comfort equipment, but I get the impression that the budget was not spent on the interior but rather on the driving performance of the vehicle.

Panamera and Cayenne, what is your husband's view?

I asked my husband the same question about the Panamera and Cayenne, and he had this to say.

Yes, well, it depends on the use and grade of the product.If you want to use the Panamera for daily use, but also want to drive on winding roads or mountain passes, then the Panamera is the right choice for you.I'm going to do it, and I'm not going to drive on winding roads.If you want to drive long distances and high speeds with your family in a fast and safe manner, then the Cayenne is for you.I guess that's what I'm saying.
After driving the Cayenne this time, I reallyPanamera is a sports carI think the Panamera is a better car than the Panamera. On highways, the Panamera's lower height also makes it more aerodynamic, and it is easier to drive on the highway than the Panamera.Step on the gas pedal more!The Panamera is the one that feels like the car is saying, 'I want to drive this car, but I don't want to drive it. The Cayenne is like a high performance tourer that you can relax and drive long distances.

I see.... I see...

Now that we are a family of five, I think we will continue to drive the Cayenne for a while, but as the kids get older and I get older, I hope to be able to drive the Cayenne again.I wish I could drive a Panamera again.I have a feeling that I am going to have to do this. At that time, I think I would prefer a hybrid instead of a turbo. Now that I know how great the motor assist is in the Cayenne, I would love to experience the Panamera Hybrid.

And if I were to buy a Panamera next, I would want the body color to be bright red, just like a sports car.

I adore the bright red Panamera...!(Resale looks crazy bad, though.)
