How Do You Protect Your Car from Door Dings? — Sharing Reader Comments Soon!

Door Ding Protection The other day, I received a comment on the blog asking, “How do you all protect against door dings?” Thinking about it, the previous 970 Panamera we had was fitted with a clear stone guard film, but for the current Panamera and Boxster, I haven’t done any specific door ding protection. So, I did a little research on door ding protection, but all I found were the usual tips like “choose a...

Investigating the Auto-Blipping Function on the Porsche Boxster (981 & 718)

Auto-Blipping on the Boxster The other day, while practicing driving the Boxster GTS (MT), I wrote that “it’s fun how the car automatically blips the throttle in Sport Plus mode when equipped with the Sport Chrono Package on a manual transmission.” After that, a reader commented: Does auto-blipping also work in Sport mode, not just Sport Plus? The 718 Cayman brochure says that with the Sport Chrono Package, auto-blipping occurs even in Sport mode. A...

Thoughts on the Porsche Panamera Fire Accident on the Hanshin Expressway Route 3 Kobe Line

Shocking News… Since yesterday, I’ve been on a family trip to Kyushu in the Panamera, and when we arrived at our accommodation, I casually watched the evening news—only to be hit with shocking news. A Porsche caught fire near Amagasaki on the Hanshin Expressway Route 3 Kobe Line. A truck overturned. What?! ((；ﾟДﾟ)!! The section near Amagasaki on the Hanshin Expressway Route 3 Kobe Line is the very road my husband drives on daily for...

Why the Porsche Panamera Is Truly an Amazing Car — A Look at Its Grueling Test Drives

Pre-Testing of the 911 Porsche’s catalog specs are accurate, and in fact, sometimes the actual numbers even surpass the catalog figures, as I wrote in a previous blog post. At that time, I knew a little about Porsche’s grueling tests in the scorching heat of Death Valley, but recently I was amazed to find an article stating that “the pre-testing of the new Porsche 911 Carrera covered an incredible 3 million kilometers.” …3 million kilometers...

About the Blog Update Frequency Thank you always for reading the blog. It’s nothing major, but today I have an announcement for everyone. From now on, I’ve decided to “slow down the pace of blog updates a bit.” Actually, last weekend, I caught a cold from my daughter when I was already tired, and I ended up down for the first time in years. (Thankfully, I’m fully recovered now.) About five years ago, I also...

How Test-Driving the New Porsche Cayenne Changed My Standards for Ride Comfort

The Exceptional Ride Comfort of the New Cayenne In September this year, when we test-drove the new Cayenne at the Porsche Center, both my spouse and I were genuinely surprised by how incredibly comfortable the ride was. Until then, the top of my list for ride comfort was the “971 Panamera” (though I haven’t driven that many cars to begin with), but the new Cayenne felt several times more comfortable. ポルシェ 新型カイエン 試乗レビュー …or rather,...

Panamera GTS Now Offers a “2+1” Rear Seat Option!?

Panamera GTS On October 16th last month, Porsche finally announced the new Panamera GTS. I thought, “It’s about time I try the configurator” (not that I’m buying, just daydreaming), so I checked the Porsche Japan site, but the Panamera GTS was still listed as “Price TBD” and the configurator wasn’t available yet. (As of November 16, 2018) What a bummer… *Image source: Porsche Japan Panamera GTS Models But since I was already in the mood...
