The Charm of the Porsche Panamera – How It Differs from the Mercedes-Benz S-Class

When Will the Panamera Arrive? I still haven’t received any news from the dealer that the Panamera, shipped by sea, has arrived in Japan. The delivery is scheduled for October 12, one week from now, but I can’t help but wonder if it’s safely arrived… Could it have been involved in an accident en route? Or what if the color turns out different when it arrives? I just can’t stop worrying. Now, the Porsche Panamera...

What’s the Difference Between the Panamera Turismo and the Panamera?

Panamera Turismo, Announced A few days ago, Porsche announced the “Panamera Turbo SE Hybrid Sport Turismo.” I thought, “Oh, interesting,” and checked the Porsche Japan website, but the Panamera Turismo wasn’t listed in the lineup yet. By the way, on that day my husband was making a big fuss about the “911 GT3 Touring Package (no large wing, 6-speed MT only) being released!!” Then, when my husband excitedly told Mr. H from the Porsche dealer—who...

Test Drive Comparison Review of the New Panamera 4S and New Panamera Turbo

Test Drive Review of the New Panamera I previously went for a test drive in both the new Panamera 4S and the new Panamera Turbo. I even wrote about that experience on my blog, but the Turbo’s acceleration and high-speed stability were so incredible that I got completely overwhelmed and ended up writing a review that didn’t quite make sense… →The story of how I felt utterly defeated after test driving the new Panamera Turbo....

Tried Cleaning the Panamera’s Leather Seats as Thoroughly as Possible【With Photos】

Cleaning the Leather Seat Stains In a recent article, I wrote about the stains on the Panamera’s leather seats. At that time, I tried wiping a small section with SOFT99 Genuine Leather Wipe Sheets (¥264), and it cleaned up nicely. So, on another day, I decided to wipe down the entire leather seat. The area I tested earlier is circled in red. The area inside the red circle looks a bit cleaner, but everywhere else...

Panamera Interior – How Beige Leather Seats Get So Dirty [With Photos]

Beige Looks Great, But… Our Panamera’s interior leather seats are beige. The specification is “Standard Interior Black/Luxor Beige”, and I quite like this two-tone color scheme. Also, beige seats seem to add a touch of luxury, so I was really fond of them when the car was first delivered. However, after some time, I gradually started noticing the dirt on the seats. Beige looks clean and stylish, but the biggest downside is how much dirt...

What Will the Specs Be for the New Panamera Turbo Delivered in October?

Saying Goodbye to Our Panamera Soon Lately, our family has been talking nonstop about the new Panamera, but even so, the Panamera we’re currently driving hasn’t sulked or broken down—it still runs beautifully. That just makes it all the more endearing, haha. Panamera, we’ll take good care of you until the very end, so let’s drive together as much as possible during the remaining time. New Panamera Turbo Scheduled for October Delivery Now, about the...

The Waiting Time from Ordering to Delivery of the New Panamera Turbo Is About 7 Months

The Panamera Is Currently at Sea This weekend, my husband said, “It’s the Panamera, and it should be arriving soon, at Toyohashi Port.” Oh… finally…! Once it arrives at Toyohashi Port, goes through inspections, reaches the nearby dealer, and passes the final checks and inspections, it will probably be in our hands within a month. It feels like a dream. Schedule Until Delivery Regarding the time from ordering to delivery of the new Panamera Turbo,...

It Cost 5,805 Yen to Fill My Porsche Panamera’s Tank with 43.65 Liters of Gas

Filling Up at Shell. Yesterday was a heavy rain day, and I thought not many people would bother to fill up gas in such weather, so I went to refuel the Panamera. The gas station I always stop at is Shell. (Because I have a Shell Easy Pay card) When I arrived, there were actually more cars than on a sunny day, and I was a bit disappointed thinking, “So much for coming out in...

The Complete Story of Ordering the New Panamera Turbo

New Panamera Turbo Order Last weekend, I finally went to complete the final steps of ordering the new Panamera Turbo. This new Panamera Turbo is an incredible car that set the fastest time in its class worldwide at the Nürburgring in Germany—an astonishing 7 minutes and 38 seconds. ＠Image courtesy of Porsche Panamera Turbo Experience By the way, I tried driving the same Nürburgring course in a game, but I couldn’t make the turns properly...

What the Panamera Concept Teaches Me

Embrace Ambition and Turn Ideals into Reality As I’ve mentioned before on my blog, I absolutely love the wording of the Panamera concept featured on Porsche Japan’s website. Embrace ambition and turn ideals into reality. Not just blindly following the path you’ve taken, but constantly challenging yourself to transform your approach. In ways that differ from others. The most important thing in everything is courage. Breaking away from all conventional wisdom. Facing challenges with unwavering...
