Why in Taikan?

Originally, I was planning to buy a hybrid model of Panamera, so I asked Mr. H, the dealer representative, to help me find one, and later went to see a certified pre-owned car store.

howeverI fell in love at first sight with the Taikan 4S Cross Turismo, which was right in front of the automatic door of the store when it opened.I did.

Neither she nor her husband had any idea that this was the way things would turn out.

Occasionally, "theDid you purchase Taikan as an adult?I am not at all sure about that.

If you want, Mr. H recommended the Panamera to me until the very end,

."Would you like to see the Panamera one more time? Would you like to see the interior of the Panamera one more time? Since you said you liked the Panamera so much...He said something like, "I'm sorry, but I was so gripped by Taikan that I could no longer think of any other option.

I don't think any other Taikan would have grabbed my heart so much. It was that spec, the Taikan 4S Cross Turismo, that must have scared the bejesus out of me....

Daily use of Taikan

If I were buying it, I would have bought it in ice gray metallic, off-road package, LED matrix headlights (glacier ice blue)...............................specifications I never would have thought of.

The atmosphere of a car can change so much depending on what specifications and options are selected.

Although the car has only traveled about 300 km since delivery, I would like to take it on various excursions and experience how much I can actually use it on a 100 V household power supply (laughs).

I would like to examine various aspects of Taikan's running and daily use and will continue to write about them in future articles.
