Am I Overrating the Panamera? In this blog, I have often praised the Panamera highly, but I have never driven its rival, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class (I’ve only ever ridden in the back seat), and I’ve only driven a BMW 7 Series a little during a test drive. So when I evaluate the Panamera, I can only base it on how it feels when I drive it myself, which sometimes makes me wonder “Am I overrating...
About My Former Self Until a few years ago, I think I was a completely different person. Back then, I lived by the belief that “work was my top priority in life.” I prioritized what I wanted to do over my children or family, believing it was absolutely essential to grow year by year and to keep challenging myself at all times. That was my way of life. At that time, I truly believed “I...
Long-distance travel by car is just natural I think I like driving more than the average person. When I had a job in Yonago, Tottori Prefecture, the client naturally assumed I would take the train from my home in Hyogo Prefecture to Yonago, but when I said “I’ll go by car!”, “What!? Are you serious!? Even if the roads are clear, it takes 4 hours by car! Isn’t that tough!?” they were totally shocked. (Since...
Always Taking the Golf to My Parents’ House Last week, I had work in Tokyo in the latter half, so I went back to my parents’ home with my daughters to ask them to babysit. Whenever I go to my parents’ place, the car I take back is always the Volkswagen Golf 7. This is because my parents still say things like, “You used to be a paper driver who even bumped into things in...

The Sport Chrono Dial When I purchased my Panamera, I opted for the “Sport Chrono Package”. With Sport Chrono, a dial is mounted on the steering wheel, allowing you to instantly switch between Normal mode, Sport mode, Sport Plus mode, and Individual mode by turning the dial. At the center of this dial is a switch called the “Sport Response Button.” The “Sport Response Button” is a mode above Sport Plus. It activates for just...
My Husband Summarized His Test Drive Impressions The other day, my husband came back after driving his brother-in-law’s newly purchased “Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo,” so we did a test drive comparison on the Royu Driveway: “Panamera Turbo vs. Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo.” You can read that article here. →【Reference Article】What’s the Difference Between the Panamera and Panamera Sport Turismo?

Nothing Unknown Around the Navigation System The other day, I shared my thoughts on the convenient features around the Panamera’s touchscreen in my blog, but after talking with my husband, I realized there were many things about the touchscreen operation and functions that I didn’t know… In fact, my husband said to me, “There’s nothing I don’t know about the Panamera’s navigation system.” So this time, I’d like to introduce “Convenient Touchscreen Features My Husband...
Finally, the Panamera Sport Turismo. About a month ago, I wrote an article about my brother-in-law buying a Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo. →Reference article: Yesterday, the Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo arrived at our home!

Since we had the chance, I decided to do a test drive comparison between our Panamera Turbo and my brother-in-law’s Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo. In this...
Better to take these photos now. It’s been 9 months since our Panamera Turbo was delivered, and dust has started to settle on the steering wheel, plus my younger daughter’s runny nose and drool have gotten on the seats (sorry for the gross details). I try to wipe it off whenever I notice, but I suddenly thought it would be better to take photos of the interior while it’s still clean. Regarding the Panamera Turbo’s...
