Porsche Cayenne Turbo (958 late model) test drive review

Cayenne Turbo, test drive

When I recently took my Panamera in for its second one-year service.We were able to borrow a previous generation Cayenne as a loaner car.So, my husband took the Panamera to the Porsche Center, and it went straight toDrove to work in the Cayenne and the next day I was able to drive with him through the winding roads and around town!So, I would like to review Cayenne Turbo, albeit briefly.

By the way, we were lent a copy ofCayenne Turbo (958 Latter)The model is powered by a 4.8-liter V8 twin-turbocharged engine. Maximum output is 520ps and maximum torque is 750Nm.

Thoughts on Cayenne (from a woman's perspective)

It was almost a year ago that I was allowed to drive a Cayenne for the first time.New Cayenne Test DriveIt was. Until now, "theEven though it was made by Porsche, it's an SUV, so I guess it's far from a sports car.I had an image of "the first time," but I was surprised when I got on board.

I was astonished at its smoothness, handling, and lightness, and my husband even said, "TheCayenne is soooo good! I want this!He even said, "I'm not sure I'm going to be able to do it." (Laughter)

A year later, I was given the rare opportunity to drive the previous generation Cayenne Turbo, and the first thing I felt when I got into the driver's seat was, "This is the first time I've driven a Cayenne Turbo.Good view from the driver's seatIt's a "good" car. This would be quite easy to drive, even for a petite woman. At the same time, I realized how the Panamera I usually drive "feels like crawling on the ground.

I started the engine and found that "Quieter engine sound than Panamera TurboI was under the impression that "the engine sound was much louder as it ran than it was after delivery. Although our Panamera's engine sound became much louder as it ran compared to when it was delivered to us.

Then I stepped on the pedal and checked the seat position.The accelerator pedal is slightly to the right of the cars I normally drive.I felt that it was a good idea. Starting from the position where the heel is normally placed and moving the toes to the right, there is no accelerator pedal there.

When I tell my husband, "Oh, yeah?said, so I wonder if it was just the difference in foot size between men and women. Nevertheless, I was confused at the beginning, but after 10 minutes of driving, I got used to it.

When I started driving again, I felt, "Pedals and steering are generally lighterThat is to say. The Panamera Turbo has heavier steering and pedals.(Of course, if you want to compare it to the 958 Cayenne, you should probably compare it to the 970 Panamera, since they are from different generations.)I thought this would make it easier for women to drive.

However, since the car has a lot of power, if you step on the gas pedal a little harder, you will soon find that the "Boom!The first time I drove the car, I was afraid to do so because I could not get a good feel for the engine.

But as you get used to theThis is so much easier to drive!The Panamera Turbo's PDK system is very direct and responsive, and I found myself driving in a groove.Pashun, pashun.Because of the change of gears with the "I" and the "I", we are also in a battle mode.

On the other hand, the Cayenne I was allowed to drive this time has a "torque converter AT," so its response is not as direct as the PDK AT, but is more gradual. This feeling is good for women and wives who often drive around town, as it allows them to drive without hesitation.

I also went to Ashiari and the handling is amazing. It turns like crazy. "SUVs can turn so much!The car turned surprisingly well, and I was reminded once again that this is indeed a Porsche.

On the other hand, I was curious about "Ride comfort in the passenger seat". ...No, it's not bad at all, in fact, I think it's good. It doesn't pick up every single impact, and it is stable and grounded. It's just thatThe ride of the current Cayenne was so smooth and wonderful.So, compared to that, I felt that there was a lot of yielding.

So, I'd like to move on to the main topic of my husband's review, w
