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...

Panamera Is Definitely the One for Me

Back Again to Amakusa and Aso in Kyushu At the end of November, the four of us took a trip to Amakusa and Aso in Kyushu with the Panamera. (There was talk about going with the air-cooled Porsche, but since it was a long drive with the whole family, we chose the Panamera.) Actually, we had taken the same trip with the family in the Panamera around this time last year, but the weather was...

About Porsche Daytime Running Lights (DRL) – Turn On Your Lights for Safety Whenever Poss...

Porsche Daytime Running Lights When I was watching the news about the Porsche Panamera accident on the Hanshin Expressway the other day, my husband said, This Panamera (970) seemed to be speeding, but I wonder if the lights were on. This model of Panamera was made before Japan’s DRL standards changed, so the headlights should come on automatically after driving above a certain speed for a while. Come to think of it, we once talked...

Why the Porsche Panamera Is Truly an Amazing Car — A Look at Its Grueling Test Drives

Pre-Testing of the 911 Porsche’s catalog specs are accurate, and in fact, sometimes the actual numbers even surpass the catalog figures, as I wrote in a previous blog post. At that time, I knew a little about Porsche’s grueling tests in the scorching heat of Death Valley, but recently I was amazed to find an article stating that “the pre-testing of the new Porsche 911 Carrera covered an incredible 3 million kilometers.” …3 million kilometers...

To Nakabayashi Kogyo Previously, at Nakabayashi Kogyo, a long-established manufacturer of automotive body covers, I arranged to have a body cover made for my Panamera. At Nakabayashi Kogyo, if a body cover pattern doesn’t yet exist for your car model, you can bring in the actual vehicle, and after measuring and pattern making, they will gift you the finished cover free of charge.(Some models are excluded) Luckily, my 971 Panamera Turbo didn’t have a pattern...
