Parents and Crown

To change the story a bit, one day when I was still a child, my parents' car changed to a Crown. My mother said of the Crown, "It's bigger than the car in front of me, so I have to be careful when driving.I used to say, "I'm not sure I can do that. But now that I think about it, the overall width of the Crown at that time was less than 1800mm.

My mother looked at the Panamera and still said, "I'm really worried about you driving such a big car.No wonder they call it "W

My father has always been completely uninterested in cars, but for some reason he loved Toyotas and drove Toyota cars all his life. The car he drove before the Crown was a "Vista."As my father was promoted, the car's rating also went up, and I thought, "Finally, I've reached the Crown! I was in an atmosphere of "Finally, we've reached the Crown!For the parents' generation at that time, the Crown must have had a special meaning.

Some time after the Crown was delivered, my mother was driving the Crown to a gathering with friends.

Wow! It's a crown! That's amazing! Everyone said, "Wow!

I remember as a child that he was very happy to hear this.

Max. speed up to 100 km/h

Back to the story, this was the general opinion of my husband's Toyota Crown Athlete.

If I had to describe it in one word, I would say, 'Max. speed up to 100 km/hI think it's a 'good' car. I think it is a car that really moves and settles down at low speeds. If you accelerate a little roughly, it naturally accelerates with a certain amount of force, but for some reason, the G-force applied to your body is gentle.It is quiet and peaceful inside the car.The steering wheel is light, there is no stress, and you always feel at peace whether you are waiting at a stoplight or in traffic.
Looking at the dashboard, the air conditioner looper swings automatically and gently, bringing a gentle breeze of just the right temperature and humidity, and the elbow height and softness of the seats are super comfortable. The height of the window frame, for example, is "Go ahead, put your hand on the window sill and drive.The height is exquisite, as if to say, "I'm not a fan of this.
."Anyway, I'm sure it's made with a crazy amount of thought put into not tiring people out on the streets." and "For daily commuting, a car like this is probably the best and most stress-free way to go to work.I really think, "I'm not going to be able to do that.
It is still the most comfortable in the speed range of Japanese roads. So, I can understand why they sell so well, and there are many things that make me think that they are as good as they should be.
On the other hand.Frankly, it's not enough for people like me who like to run.If you only knew Crown and other domestic sedans, you might not think so, but stillThe sense of security, stability, and athleticism at high speeds are totally different compared to European cars.Every time a new model comes out, review articles and such say it's getting closer to European cars, but honestly, in the driving department, I'm not so sure.Still such a difference.My honest impression is that it is a "good idea".
Well, I am well aware that it is nonsense to compare them. So, I think that Crown should not be conscious of European cars.The best car for getting around in JapanI hope it continues to be.
Incidentally, I personally like the current Toyota Century, which is often seen at imperial events these days, because it has a very sleek and luxurious design that is also very original. If a Crown were to go in a direction like the mini Century, I personally would be quite attracted to it.

I see. I see. I would like to ride in one too. And thank you very much to Mr. H of the dealer who always takes care of me and provides me with a wide range of loaner cars.
