Which Is Easier to Drive: Porsche Cayenne or Panamera? An Owner Who Has Owned Both Weighs In

Back When I Frequently Scratched My Cars The other day on my blog, Which is easier to drive, the Porsche Cayenne or Panamera? I received a comment asking Mina, who has driven both, to share her perspective as a woman. The commenter’s wife currently drives a Panamera, but because of its large size, she sometimes ends up scratching it. I, too, used to frequently scratch or bump the Audi A3 we had at home before....

Is the Joy of Driving a Porsche All About the Handling?

The Joy of Driving the Cayenne The other day, I was driving our Cayenne E-Hybrid and found myself thinking again, “Why is driving the Cayenne so much fun?” Then I asked my husband sitting in the passenger seat. Why is driving the Cayenne so enjoyable? I get that the Boxster and 911 are thrilling with their engine sounds, especially with a manual transmission where you really feel like you’re driving. But the Cayenne feels easy,...

Differences Between the Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet and the 911 Carrera Turbo Cabriolet

911 Turbo Cabriolet The other day, I received this comment from a blog reader. Having previously driven a Macan Turbo, they fell in love with the charm of the 911 after test-driving the 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet (992 model), and ended up purchasing the 911 Turbo Cabriolet (992 model). They were amazed by the significant differences between the Carrera 4S Cabriolet they test-drove and the Turbo Cabriolet, so I’d like to share a bit about...

Carrera or Carrera S: Which Porsche 911 Should You Buy?

Porsche 911 Carrera or Carrera S Today, I want to share a question we received on the blog earlier, along with my husband’s response. Currently planning to purchase a 992, but I’m torn between the Carrera and the Carrera S. I’m switching from a Macan GTS and don’t own any other Porsche models.

Has the New Porsche 911 (992) Become Just a Passenger Car? A Porsche Owner’s Perspective

About the Porsche 911 (992) When test drives for the current 911 (992) first began, I occasionally came across less-than-favorable reviews saying things like, “The 992 is so easy to drive it’s become just a passenger car” or “The 992 isn’t fun anymore.” But is that really the case? The first time my spouse and I test drove a 992, it was a 911 Carrera 4S. It was indeed very easy to drive, with a...

Driving Position of the Porsche 911 The other day, my husband came home after driving the 911 Cabriolet (992) and started talking about it. The ride of the 992 is firm but smooth. Sure, you can feel some road surface irregularities, but compared to right after delivery, the ride quality has improved a lot. Also, the 992’s driving position is really easy to find. It might be the easiest driving position to get comfortable with...
