Porsche New Cayenne Test Drive Review

Test Driving the New Cayenne The other day, I finally got to test drive the new Cayenne.

My Brother-in-Law’s Macan Turbo Previously, I wrote an article about test driving my brother-in-law’s Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo, but before that, he drove a Macan Turbo.

A Comfortable Driver’s Car: The Porsche 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...

Who the Porsche Panamera Is Perfect For — Categorizing Driving Enthusiasts into Four Types

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!?

Rediscovering the Excellence of the Porsche Panamera After a Long Break

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.
