Driving the Cayenne on the Highway in a Torrential Downpour

Driving the Cayenne in a Torrential Downpour The other day, I had the chance to drive the Cayenne on the Chugoku Expressway during a heavy downpour. I’ve driven the Cayenne in the rain many times before, but this rain was truly intense—like being inside an automatic car wash. Even in those conditions, the Cayenne felt incredibly stable and smooth, as if the rain wasn’t even there. Of course, I drove more cautiously than usual—slowing down...

Costs and Photos of Scratch Repairs on My Porsche Cayenne

I Scratched My Porsche Cayenne The other day, I wrote an article about how I scratched my Cayenne. On the same day, I took it to a body shop for an estimate, and after sending it in for repairs, it came back—so I want to share about that experience. The body shop I entrusted with the Cayenne repairs is the same one I used many times when I had just graduated from being a paper...

[Reflection] Terrible! I Scratched My Porsche While Parking!

Scratched the Cayenne… The other day, I scratched the right rear side of my Cayenne. After all the proud talk on this blog about “safe driving” and whatnot, I ended up doing exactly the opposite… To explain what happened: this Sunday (today) is the Hyogo Prefecture governor election, but since I couldn’t make it on the day, I decided to go early voting. When I parked at the nearest facility’s parking lot, I scratched the...

The Reason You Can Drive a Porsche Long Distance Is Not “Comfort” but “...

Is Porsche Driving About Pleasure? When I’m riding in the Cayenne with my family, my husband and I often have this conversation. Not just the Cayenne, but Porsches in general make you want to keep driving endlessly. Even when I’m on the highway and about to exit at the nearest interchange, I always think, “I want to keep driving a little longer. Maybe I’ll just stay on the highway a bit more.” That’s how it...

Spring Drive through Nara and Wakayama in a Porsche Cayenne

Heading to Nara and Wakayama in the Cayenne The other day, my family and I visited Kumano Nachi Taisha Shrine. It was just before the state of emergency was declared, but since it had been planned for a long time, I’m glad we managed to go at the last minute. Our family doesn’t go for the traditional New Year’s shrine visit on January 1st. There’s no deep reason, but both my husband and I dislike...

Porsche’s E-Hybrid Our family’s Cayenne is the Cayenne E-Hybrid model, and after recently driving the Panamera 4 E-Hybrid as well, my spouse and I often say, “The more we drive Porsche’s E-Hybrid models, the more we love them. If we buy a Cayenne or Panamera in the future, it will definitely be a hybrid model.” So today, my husband has written about why Porsche’s E-Hybrid models are so amazing. Please have a look. Porsche Hybrids...

I Prefer the Cayenne Over the Porsche 911 | Thoughts from Owning Both

Driving to Fuji Speedway in the Cayenne The other day, I wrote an article about my husband participating in a track day hosted by the magazine “911DAYS” and driving the 992 in wet mode. As for me, I followed along in the Cayenne E-Hybrid, driving nearly 1,000 km round trip from home to Fuji Speedway (including transfers to the hotel, etc.). Most of the journey was on the highway, but it was my first time...

The Unique Joys of Each Porsche Model

A Long-Awaited Drive in the Air-Cooled Porsche 911 (964) About two and a half years ago, my husband bought an air-cooled Porsche 911 (964 C2) with around 50,000 km on the clock, and now it’s about to surpass 70,000 km. Wow, that’s quite a distance. Over these two years, my husband has performed multiple maintenance sessions on the 964 and replaced some interior parts, bringing it to a really great condition. Every time he drives...

Is the Rear Axle Steering Option Essential for Porsche Panamera and Cayenne?

Porsche’s Rear Axle Steering The other day, I received this question on the blog. I’m currently waiting for delivery of a Cayenne Coupe GTS, but I’m curious about the rear axle steering option. I understand it makes handling easier and parking simpler, and also improves handling and stability at high speeds. However, since it’s an expensive option, I’d like a review on whether it’s essential for the increasingly larger Cayenne and Panamera models. That was...
