Test Driving the Porsche Panamera GTS (971 Model): My Impressions

971 Panamera GTS The other day, I had the opportunity to test drive the Panamera GTS (971). Personally, I’ve always loved the 970 Panamera GTS I occasionally see around my neighborhood—the engine sound is fantastic, and I’ve always thought the raised rear spoiler looks really cool. So, how does the 971 Panamera GTS feel? Actually, last fall I participated in Porsche’s driving school (Porsche Track Experience) and got to test drive a Panamera GTS for...

Porsche Panamera｜Reflections After 4 Years of Ownership

Car Life at Seven Months Pregnant Time flies—I’m already seven months pregnant, and my belly has grown quite large. Recently, I’ve really noticed how much my thought process has changed compared to before pregnancy. The human body is truly a fascinating thing. I’ve always been the type to enjoy new challenges and adventures, but now, those feelings have mostly faded. It feels like all the male hormones inside me have completely vanished, replaced entirely by...

Porsche Panamera: The Perfect Balance of Comfort and Sportiness

Panamera, After a Wash Perhaps due to pollen and yellow dust, the Panamera had gotten quite dirty, so I decided to have it hand-washed at our usual nearby gas station. Since it was dirtier than usual, I opted for the premium wash that helps repel dirt after cleaning.

What You Notice When Driving a Panamera After a Porsche Boxster

Panamera and Boxster Come to think of it, I haven’t written much about the Panamera on the blog lately. Since our home parking space only fits two cars, we rent several other parking spots elsewhere. And because the Panamera has been parked for a while at a spot a bit farther from home, it hasn’t seen much use recently.

Are Luxury Cars Targets for Vandalism? Our Porsche’s Experience

Panamera’s License Plate The other day, when I went to get into our Panamera parked in the driveway, I casually glanced at the license plate and immediately noticed that the angle was definitely off. Wait, why is it like this?! (ﾟдﾟ)！ I wondered if something had bumped into it, but if that were the case, the plate would be dented, which it wasn’t. I tried to fix it by hand, but it wouldn’t budge at...

Porsche Panamera Tire Change – Impressions of Michelin Pilot Sport 4

Michelin Pilot Sport 4 The other day, I changed the tires on our Panamera, and today I want to share my impressions after driving it a bit with the new tires. The tires our Panamera previously had were the “Pirelli PZERO,” which came as Porsche’s certified tires when we bought the car new. Following a recent puncture, we decided to replace all four tires with “Michelin Pilot Sport 4 Acoustic.” The reason we chose Michelin...
