[Reflection] Terrible! I Scratched My Porsche While Parking!

Scratched the Cayenne… The other day, I scratched the right rear side of my Cayenne. After all the proud talk on this blog about “safe driving” and whatnot, I ended up doing exactly the opposite… To explain what happened: this Sunday (today) is the Hyogo Prefecture governor election, but since I couldn’t make it on the day, I decided to go early voting. When I parked at the nearest facility’s parking lot, I scratched the...

Is the Rear Axle Steering Option Essential for Porsche Panamera and Cayenne?

Porsche’s Rear Axle Steering The other day, I received this question on the blog. I’m currently waiting for delivery of a Cayenne Coupe GTS, but I’m curious about the rear axle steering option. I understand it makes handling easier and parking simpler, and also improves handling and stability at high speeds. However, since it’s an expensive option, I’d like a review on whether it’s essential for the increasingly larger Cayenne and Panamera models. That was...

Back When I Frequently Scratched My Cars The other day on my blog, Which is easier to drive, the Porsche Cayenne or Panamera?

Is the Joy of Driving a Porsche All About the Handling?

The Joy of Driving the Cayenne The other day, I was driving our Cayenne E-Hybrid and found myself thinking again, “Why is driving the Cayenne so much fun?” Then I asked my husband sitting in the passenger seat.

But the Cayenne feels easy,...

Porsche, This Just Won’t Do: Porsche Connect Data Drops Suddenly from 10GB to 3GB

Using YouTube in the Cayenne Previously, I wrote an article about how we installed a rear monitor in the back seat of our Cayenne so our kids could watch YouTube and other videos back there. We bought our Cayenne in September 2020 from the dealer’s new car stock, and at that time, we thought the Porsche Connect Wi-Fi data allowance was “3GB per month.” Then a reader commented, The previous data allowance was 3GB, but...

Washing the Porsche Cayenne|Can the Cayenne Fit in an Automatic Car Wash?

Washing the Cayenne Our Cayenne’s body color is white, but starting around December last year, the dirt really started to show. So my husband tried to wash it once, but The Cayenne is so big that I just can’t reach the middle of the roof. Washing it properly by myself is tough.

What’s the Real Fuel Economy of the Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid?

Three Months with the Cayenne E-Hybrid Since Delivery Lately, I’ve been using the Cayenne E-Hybrid mostly for short trips like picking up the kids or running errands nearby, so battery-only driving is more than enough. Before I knew it, I hadn’t put any gas in for two whole months, and the fuel gauge has barely dropped by about 2.5 bars. The little fuel that has been used is because my husband occasionally drives the Cayenne...
