Driving in a Cayenne in torrential rain

The other day, I had the opportunity to drive the Cayenne on the Chugoku Expressway during a torrential downpour. I have driven the Cayenne in the rain many times before, but the rain the other day was really heavy, so much so that it was like being inside an automatic car wash.

Even in such a situation, the Cayenne was super stable and relaxed, as if it was not raining.

Of course, we drove more cautiously than we would have in sunny weather, slowing our speed and being careful of puddles, but even so, there was no change at all in high-speed stability; in fact, there was no change at all in theThe Cayenne's ability to drive off-road makes it a force to be reckoned with in these situations.There was a somewhat more dependable feeling than usual, "I'm not sure I'm going to be able to do this.

The car did not slide so much that I tried to change lanes on an uphill curve as if sliding, but I still felt no uneasiness at all and was able to change lanes comfortably with the same feeling I had when I turned the steering wheel.

Our Cayenne's headlights are "LED headlights with PDLSThe other day, however, the headlights were a little too dark and insecure. My husband says, "The headlights on the 992 are brighter and easier to see.Yes," he said.

So, in a situation like the other day, I think the optional matrix LED light (which gives a wider, more distant light) would be brighter and easier to see.

The Panamera that used to be in our house had matrix LED lights.

It's good for driving in the dark on the highway, but I don't usually use it, so I didn't need it. The options cost about 300,000-400,000 yen, which is expensive.

etc., but I think it would be useful if there is a lot of driving on dark highways in the countryside.

However, when coming to urban areas on the Chugoku Expressway with lots of road lighting, there is nothing wrong with the Cayenne's regular headlights.

Then, as the nearest IC approached, the rain gradually became light and "Ahhhh, it's all over now. I wish I could have run a little longer.The drive was so comfortable that, as usual, I thought to myself, "I'm not going to be able to do that.

In October, from my home to Chiba, Japan.Porsche Experience Center TokyoWe will be taking the Cayenne, it is over 500km and I am really looking forward to it as it will be my first time driving such a long distance in a car. Please, no rain!
