Car lover husband's assessment - Porsche Boxster, Panamera, Mercedes-Benz SL

Porsche Panamera

SL goes to the hospital

My husband recently purchased a 1997 SL500, which is old and has been neglected for some time since the previous owner passed away, and it is in various states of disrepair. The seats are worn out, and when the roof is opened and closed, oil leaks from the roof.

They say that once the hospital visits are over (w/e), this SL will be as perfect as a new car.(BTW, I haven't even been in the passenger seat or driven yet)

How does my husband rate each car?

Come to think of it, the other day, I was thinking about the "If it was a 911, a Boxster, or a Panamera, which would you choose?"I wrote an article about the Boxster, Panamera, and SL, and I asked my husband about his evaluation of the Boxster, Panamera, and SL. My husband said, "It's hard to say...it depends on the situation you use it in.

(1) Ashiyu Driveway (moderate mountain road)

Boxster: 5
Panamera: 4.9
SL: 3

(2) Rural National Highway

Boxster: 4
Panamera: 4.8
SL: 5

(iii) Expressway

Boxster: 4.3
Panamera: 5
SL: 4.8

4) Street Riding

Boxster: 4.5
Panamera: 4.3
SL: 4.8

What if I can only choose one of them?

He added, "If you could only own one of these three cars, which one would you choose?" I asked.

But the one that balances everything is the Panamera, so I guess I'll have to go with the Panamera.

He said.

Oh...I'm glad. If they say they are going to keep the Boxster, it will be impossible for me to go out with my family...(laugh)...I think again that the Panamera is the way to go these days.

    I was searching for Boxster and somehow came across this blog.

    We have an E-Class station wagon for family use, but my goal is to convince the wife to switch to a Panamera Sport Turismo. I find it very interesting that your husband, a Boxster driver, appreciates the Panamera on mountain passes. I can't imagine that he can enjoy mountain passes with that size, but that is indeed a Porsche.

    I look forward to your continued blog updates.

      Oh! Panamera Sport Turismo transfer, by all means! Panamera is really a great car. By the way, I also wrote this article.

      My husband says, "Both the Boxster and the Panamera have exactly the same taste as a Porsche sports car, only they differ in seasoning, whether it is strong, thin, spicy, or sweet. Once you try driving a Panamera in Sports Plus mode on a mountain pass, you will be surprised at the way it handles itself, which is hard to believe with its huge body" ^ ^ I will update this blog on a daily basis, so please keep checking back!
