Porsche New Cayenne Test Drive Review

Test Driving the New Cayenne The other day, I finally got to test drive the new Cayenne. I wasn’t particularly planning to buy one (sorry, Mr. H at the dealer…), but the reviews in motor magazines were good, and having previously learned in detail how the new Cayenne is made on the Discovery Channel, I was curious. ポルシェ 新型カイエン、工場の製造工程を総力取材！（したTV番組をまとめてみた） However, I thought, “Even though it’s made by a sports car manufacturer, it’s still an SUV,...

Porsche Panamera 1-Year Inspection – What’s the Cost of the All-in-One Inspection & ...

Panamera’s 1-Year Inspection Last weekend, I took the Panamera in for its 1-year inspection. Since it was delivered last October, it’s already been a year. Actually, about a week before the inspection, a warning popped up saying “Oil level low, topping up to 2.0L”, but I thought “It’d be a waste to top up oil now, so please just hold out until the inspection!” Luckily, it did (laughs). The long weekend last week was apparently...

The Best Sunglasses for Open-Top Driving – A Husband’s Take from Behind the Wheel of a Po...

Sunglasses for Driving Many people wear sunglasses when driving. I used to say things like “Sunglasses don’t suit me, so I don’t need them” or “I’m afraid people will think I’m showing off”, but seeing a surprisingly high number of female drivers around the neighborhood wearing sunglasses, I ended up sneaking some on myself (laughs). While wearing sunglasses, I often think “It’s easier to drive,” but sometimes I find it a bit hard to see...

On the Opinion That “If You Drive a Porsche, You Shouldn’t Worry About Fuel Efficiency”

“Don’t Worry About Fuel Efficiency” The other day, I met with someone my spouse and I have known for years who recently purchased a “981 Boxster Black Edition”, and I had the chance to hear about their experience. (I plan to share the details in the Porsche Owners File at a later date.) We’ve known this person for about 10 years, and seeing them more lively than ever, saying with sparkling eyes, “Wow, the Boxster...

Tried Google Maps on Apple CarPlay with iOS 12 Right Away!

iPhone iOS 12 Update Apple released iOS 12 for iPhones and tablets on September 13 local time. With this update, Google Maps became available on Apple CarPlay. Apple CarPlay lets you use apps like music, messaging, calls, and navigation from your smartphone directly on your car’s display. The navigation system in our current Panamera is usable to some extent, but sometimes after getting stuck in traffic, it shows a bright red congestion display (slow, haha),...

What Is the Porsche Passport Subscription Service?

What Is Porsche Passport? The other day, while browsing online, I came across an article from a while back stating that “In November 2017, Porsche launched ‘Porsche Passport’ in Atlanta, USA, allowing on-demand rentals of up to 22 Porsche models.” Porsche Passport is a service where users can select their preferred Porsche model using a dedicated smartphone app and easily make a reservation. The vehicle can be delivered to your home or another desired location,...

Porsche Macan Test Drive Review: A Day with the Macan Turbo

My Brother-in-Law’s Macan Turbo Previously, I wrote an article about test driving my brother-in-law’s Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo, but before that, he drove a Macan Turbo. I borrowed that Macan Turbo for just one day back then, and “even as a compact SUV, it truly felt like a Porsche!” So, I want to jot down a review based on my husband’s impressions before I forget. 2015 Model Macan Turbo My brother-in-law’s Macan Turbo is a...
