Is the Adaptive Cruise Control on the New Panamera Really Convenient?

Is ACC Convenient? Today, I had some errands in Nara Prefecture, so I decided to head out in the Panamera Turbo. Most of the route from my home to Nara is on the highway, but on busy roads like the Hanshin Expressway—where you have to watch out for unmarked police cars, speed cameras, and heavy traffic—the ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) is incredibly handy. So today, I’d like to give a brief introduction to the ACC...

New Porsche Panamera Turbo: Is the City Fuel Economy Really Below 4.0 km/l?

Picking Up from Kindergarten in the Panamera It was raining today. Actually, I’ve recently decided to walk when picking up my daughter from kindergarten, but since it was raining, I took the Panamera instead. As usual, when I went to pick her up, she kept rubbing her eyes saying they hurt, so on the way back, we stopped by a convenience store to buy some snacks and then a pharmacy to get some eye drops...

Child Vomited on the Panamera’s Leather Seat! How We Cleaned and Protected the Seats

My Child Vomited in the Car Continuing from yesterday’s blog, about 10 minutes from home, my eldest daughter threw up. It was completely my fault—I was letting her watch an iPad in the car since the Wi-Fi was working, but it seems she got carsick… She usually never gets motion sickness in the car, so I feel really sorry. So from now on, I’ve decided never to bring the iPad into the car again. Our...

Driving the Porsche Panamera Turbo – Hyogo’s Haga Town Has Beautiful Roads, Few Cars, and...

Heading to Haga in Hyogo Prefecture Yesterday, we decided, “The autumn leaves must be beautiful around this time, so let’s go to Haga!” and took a family drive to Haga in Hyogo Prefecture. From home, we got on the Chugoku Expressway, exited at Yamazaki IC, and headed straight north on Route 29 to reach our destination. There’s no driveway or anything like that, and it’s not a major spot, but this area has few people...

Driving the Porsche Panamera Turbo on the Royu Driveway in Thick Fog

A Sudden Trip to the Royu Driveway Yesterday brought an intense downpour. In the morning, I took my eldest daughter to her kindergarten’s Halloween event in the Panamera, braving the heavy rain. The three of us—my eldest daughter, youngest daughter, and I—joined the festivities. By evening, the rain had stopped and the sky began to clear, so I took the wheel and drove the family up the Royu Driveway in the Panamera. It was my...

Points to Consider for Breaking in a Porsche Panamera, from a Car-Loving Husband

Do You Do a Break-In Run? In a recent article, I received a question: “Don’t you do a break-in run? Since opinions vary, it would be helpful to hear your husband’s thoughts as well.” My husband said that our trip to the WEC last weekend was partly for the purpose of breaking in the car. Since I didn’t know much about break-in runs myself, I asked him about it. My Husband’s View on Break-In Runs...

Porsche’s Final WEC Today, I came to Fuji Speedway to watch the WEC. To be precise, today is the qualifying round, so I arrived early to watch tomorrow’s final race.

Was the Specification Different? Yesterday, my husband said, “I was really panicking when I looked at the specs of the new Panamera Turbo I posted on the blog the other day and realized they didn’t match what we actually ordered!” “Huh? What do you mean? You emailed me the final specs, so are you saying I introduced the wrong ones? …Or wait, does this mean we just found out two days before delivery that we...
