Porsche Panamera: Over 18,700 km in Just 1 Year and 4 Months Despite Not Driving That Much

Panamera Mileage The Panamera came to our home in October 2017. And yet, in just 1 year and 4 months, the Panamera’s mileage has already surpassed 18,700 km. Previously, our 970 Panamera Edition was replaced when it reached “1.5 years and 13,000 km,” so compared to that, this Panamera Turbo is being driven at quite a fast pace. Moreover, my husband has hardly been using the Panamera for commuting lately, and besides the Panamera, we...

A Personal Addendum to Roperaio’s Porsche Panamera Turbo Test Drive Review

Roperaio’s Review of the Panamera Turbo The other day, my husband said, “There’s a Panamera Turbo review on Roperaio’s YouTube channel!” and immediately started watching the nearly 40-minute video. As soon as he finished, he said this: “Hmm… I get what he’s saying, but it’s not quite right. It feels like there wasn’t enough prep beforehand, and the power and handling of the Panamera Turbo weren’t really evaluated enough, so the true greatness didn’t come...

A New Year’s Drive to Shirahama and Kumano in Wakayama with the Porsche Panamera

To Kumano Nachi Taisha in Wakayama Prefecture Our family doesn’t really have the tradition of “always going for Hatsumode (New Year shrine visit) on New Year’s Day or during the first three days.” Shrines are crowded during those days, and until around the Taisho era, the New Year was celebrated according to the lunar calendar (this year’s lunar New Year is apparently February 5th), so we thought, “Why not take our time and go for...

Is It True That the Porsche Panamera’s PDK Has Slightly Delayed Shift Response?

Porsche Panamera Among Porsche models, I like the Panamera the best. Whenever I drive a Boxster or 911, or test drive a Cayenne or Cayman (unfortunately, I’ve only ever ridden in the back seat of a Macan and haven’t test driven one yet), I’m always impressed, thinking, “What an amazing car!” But in the end, I always come back to thinking, “After all, the Panamera is the one I really want.” Lately, having gotten a...

Testing Porsche Panamera on the Highway – Does ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) Really Impro...

Driving the Panamera on the Highway The other day, I had some errands in Nagoya on a weekday, so I decided to drive my Panamera from home to Nagoya using the highway. However, since I had the impression that the Meishin and Shin-Meishin Expressways are often crowded with trucks and cars, I thought, “Maybe it would be easier to drive using ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) the whole way.” Since I was at it, I thought...

Is the First Oil Change for the Porsche Panamera Really Okay at 10,000 km or 1 Year?

First Oil Change for the Panamera The other day, I received a question from a reader who recently purchased a Panamera 4E Hybrid. How do you all handle the timing for the Panamera’s oil changes? The dealer told me, “It’s fine to change the oil at 1 year or 10,000 km,” but it seems like many people replace it much earlier for the first change… Indeed… I hadn’t realized that for modern Porsches, dealers recommend...
