Farewell to the Panamera at last | to be handed over to the dealer this week.

Goodbye, Panamera.

Finally.Time to say goodbye to our Panamera (Panamera Turbo: MY2018)came to us. The car was delivered three years ago in October 2017, the body color is Night Blue Metallic, and the mileage is about 29,000 km at this point.

I had been thinking for a while that I was going to have to say goodbye to my Panamera soon... I was sad..." But when my husband finally told me that he was going to leave the Panamera, I thought to myself, "I'm going to have to say goodbye to my Panamera soon..."I'm supposed to take the Panamera back to the dealer this week.When I was told that "the(By the time this article goes up, it will have already been handed over.)I was filled with a feeling of loneliness.

Frankly.Of all the cars we have had in our home, this is the hardest to part with.

Because this Panamera has aBecause it holds the most memories of all the cars I've driven.It is.

Three years ago, when the Panamera was delivered to me, I was more afraid of driving a car than I am now, and the feeling of the turbo's power was overwhelming, making it difficult to drive well. I remember driving the Panamera with clenched teeth, feeling nervous because of its large body size.

From that state, I gradually became accustomed to driving, and thanks to this Panamera, my "My first experienceMany doors were opened for the "Mere Old Man.

For the first time, I drove the 1,000 km round trip from my home to Fuji Speedway by myself.

I drove on a circuit (Fuji Speedway) for the first time.

For the first time, I participated in a Porsche driving school and

For the first time, I drove the Hakone Turnpike and(There was an accident at that time when a deer suddenly jumped out of the car, but the driver was able to escape with full braking.)

For the first time, I drove on snowy roads by myself.(We had an unseasonably heavy snowfall at the end of March.)

I also experienced a lot of other things for the first time. I also took this Panamera on many family trips to Kyushu, Wakayama, and other places.

And every time I drive it, I realize how great the Panamera is as a car, and I fall more and more in love with it. In addition, theI learned to enjoy cars, I gained a little more confidence in driving, and someday I will feel hot and safe when I sit in the driver's seat of a Panamera!The number of people who have been

The car was reliable in all situations, and was a wonderful car that was both gentlemanly and fierce, driving appropriately on mountain passes, winding roads, highways, in town, and wherever else it was driven.

Really, it was my favorite car.

I am now ready to say good-bye to the Panamera. And I am not onlyI will not be able to be there to say goodbye to Panamera as I am returning home to my parents' house to prepare for the birth of my baby.How sad that at the end of the day, I never thought I would have to say goodbye in this way.

As I looked back at the photos of my Panamera, many memories came back to me, and I was somewhat moved by them. I also reminded my husband to tell Panamera thank you for my Panamera.

New Encounters

Now I'm more comfortable driving a car than before, I can drive a manual transmission car, and I can go to many places by myself.I doubt if there will ever be another car that will give me more firsts than this Panamera....I think.

In that sense, the Panamera will continue to be a car that I will always have a special place in my heart.

We can't say it ourselves, but after about 3,000 km on various roads, the engine, ride, driving, engine sound, etc., are in pretty good shape (laughs), so we hope it will continue to run wonderfully at its next destination.

On top of that, thankfully, next month.A new 911 Cabriolet (992 model) is coming to our home.I don't think I will be driving for a while after I have my third child, and after that I will most likely use the Note if I need to transport my children, but I am looking forward to seeing what kind of experiences we will have together with the 911 Cabriolet, a car with a completely different character than the Panamera Turbo.

I mean, I have a big job waiting for me before that, the birth of the baby, so I have to do my best...W

    Good morning, Mina.

    We are sad to say goodbye to Panemera.
    But the new Panamera will be presented at the world premiere on 8/26.
    Here's your chance to return to Panamera.

    I am thinking that if I were to combine my cars into one last car, the 911 would be a good candidate.
    I look forward to seeing how a modern, normal 911 that is easy to use on a daily basis, unlike a GT3 or air-cooled, will be reviewed.

    • Mina.Mina.

      Mr. Ishi.
      Thank you for everything!
      Looks like on 8/26, the new Panamera will be unveiled!
      If I see that, I'll want it again (*_*).

      911 Cabriolet, how it drives and rides, I am sure it can be used in any situation, and my husband says that he might drive only Cabriolet, but I hope to write another review.

      Thank you for your continued support!

    How can you write such a contentless thing so openly and without shame?

    Thanks for your hard work. Congratulations to you all on your big job at last. And I will miss my Panamera, but I'm sure it will run well again at my next marriage. I wanted a Panamera and always learned from the information on your blog while information was scarce. I can't believe it's already been 3 years.

    I'm looking forward to the next car, the 911 Cub.
    Now, by the way, is the Panamera a Porsche Certified Pre-Owned after the dealership?
    Please email me if you are interested in this.

    It's the weekend, so by now?
    Please take care of yourself in the heat, corona, and lingering summer heat.

      Mr. Yoshi.
      Thank you so much for saying that!
      I am glad I have continued to blog...very happy.

      >Now, by the way, is the Panamera a Porsche Certified Pre-Owned car after the dealership?
      The Panamera was actually contacted by a reader who wanted to buy it.
      The dealer will take it back and the rest will be exchanged between the dealer and the other party.

      I hope it will be a good match.

      It's really hot out there, take care of yourself and hang in there!
      Thank you for your continued support.

    Many women around me are not so particular about cars. I can feel your love for cars. It seems that you have a lot of experience with German cars, but I hope that you will get used to other companies and, if possible, Japanese cars as well.

    I have a simple question (sorry if this has already been written on your blog), what made you decide to let go of your Panamera after 3 years of loving it so much?

      Thank you! There are still a lot of things I don't know about cars, so I'm going to start to learn more about cars, both domestic and imported, and I'm looking forward to working with you.
      I hope to have the opportunity to test drive and ride in a variety of cars.

      I would be happy to hear your recommendations for cars, etc.

      >I have a simple question (sorry if this has already been written on your blog), what made you decide to let go of your Panamera after 3 years of loving it so much?
      Yes...^^;Thank you for your question.

      Originally, we decided to replace the Panamera because, in addition to the fact that we planned to change it in three years, we were pregnant with our third child and the four-passenger Panamera wouldn't fit our entire family.
      It was a funny thing that I somehow ended up choosing a 4-seater again after having lost my way and test-drove a lot of things...

    I can feel your love for the Panamera, I've never driven one but I can really feel that it is a wonderful car.

    Hello. This is my first comment.
    I always enjoy looking at your site.
    I used to drive a 911 (993) and gave it up a long time ago, but I am a returning Porsche owner after reading your blog.
    I bought a Cayman MT (981) last year after a long time.
    I'm too old to have a 911 anymore, and I don't want to bother people around me, so a normal Cayman is just right for me.
    I flush the Metropolitan Highway and other roads on my days off and after work.
    Porsche is still nice.

    What a truly wonderful Porsche life you have while raising your kids!
    I'm lucky that I've finished raising two of my own, so I have plenty of time to spare.
    She is still in the process of giving birth. I wish you the best of luck.
    I think it is wonderful that you are enjoying your life despite all the talk about how difficult and hard it is to raise children.
    It's fun raising kids and cars.
    I look forward to reading more of your blog.
    I hope you have a safe delivery.

      Thank you for visiting our blog.

      >I bought a Cayman MT (981) last year after a long time.
      Oh yes! That 981 Cayman MT looks like so much fun...!

      Raising a child can be tough in some respects.
      I am happy to be in an environment where I can enjoy car life at the same time.
      You only live once, so I hope to enjoy it as much as I can at the time.

      The baby seemed to be going at quite a pace.
      I'm way past my due date, but I'm trying to make it through the delivery first!
      Thank you for your continued support.
