Loperio's review of the Panamera Turbo

The other day my husband said, "There's a review of the Panamera Turbo on Loperaio's youtube!He quickly watched the nearly 40-minute video, but as soon as he finished watching it, he said something like this.

'Hmmm...I get it...but I guess not. I feel like you didn't do enough prep work, and you didn't give enough credit to the Panamera Turbo's power and handling, which is a shame because it doesn't convey its true qualities. I'd like to add a few points myself.

And. When I was told that, on the contrary, I became very curious about that video, so I decided to take a look at it as soon as I could. And sure enough.The Panamera Turbo has been reviewed from start to finish with little or no power.I felt as if I had been there.

However, it must be quite difficult to review a wide variety of car models from different manufacturers on a daily basis, and it must be difficult because there are so many different aspects to take care of. And to my husband, "Indeed, I'd like to add to your review ^^;I just talked to him."

I know. I'm not saying it's a bad review.I think the Panamera Turbo's appeal would be better conveyed if I supplemented it.

So, I decided to write an article today that I would like to add to the w

It is. And, Loperaio's employees rate it.Ride quality, driving: 4.5, looks: 5, cost performance: 4.3On the one hand, Mr. Kawakubo's evaluation was very positive. Kawakubo's assessment, on the other hand, is.Ride quality, driving: 4, looks: 4.5, cosmetics: 4It was. Generally, it was a high evaluation.

Therefore, I would like to write about the supplemental items here.

Air conditioner operation

There are several supplementary items, but first, I would like to talk about the air conditioner vent area. My husband is a

In the review, it appeared that the touch screen could only be operated by pressing the "Diffuse" and "Focus" buttons.The round button in the middle can be moved freely, and the looper on the outlet moves in conjunction with it.Well, it's a small detail. Well, it's all in the details.

And.

And then there's "The ON/OFF button on the spoiler is difficult to use because it cannot be operated with a single touch.I was also told that "I can't remember where everything is. Indeed, until I got used to the Panamera's touch panel, I, too, had a hard time remembering what was where and how to use it.

But this Panamera's touch screen is not.Customize your home screen exclusively for yourself.Therefore, it is possible to place the buttons they often use on the home screen and operate them with a simple one-touch operation.In our house, the spoiler on/off button is currently placed on the home screen so that it can be operated at any time.

It would have been nice if they could have told us those things.

Sport / Sport Plus mode

This time around, the Panamera Turbo has aIt had the optional Sport Chrono package.thereforeI wanted to review the differences from the normal mode by running the car not only in normal mode, but also in sport mode and sport plus mode.I felt that the "I'm a good person.

My husband, too.

The Panamera is a car that needs to be driven in sport mode.

I've often said that, indeed, theJust driving the Panamera Turbo in normal mode feels monotonous, especially at the city driving level.The car quickly moves up a gear to 6th or 7th gear, and you only get the feeling of driving slowly and leisurely at around 1,000 rpm at all times.

On the other hand.When the mode is set to Sport or Sport Plus, the driving becomes more nimble, the engine sound changes, and a sporty driving experience can be enjoyed.I would have loved to see a review of such differences between normal and sport driving....

My husband is a

Boost button this time(Sport Response Button)You didn't see any scenes of him using it either, right? That acceleration is really amazing.Just a little effort on the gas pedal accelerates the car to a frightening degree in an instant.That button is a feature that gives us a glimpse of the Panamera Turbo.

He said ruefully.

Incidentally, the "Sport Response Button" is a mode further above the Sport Plus mode.The mode is activated for 20 seconds only, and the engine and transmission settings are in a state of maximum performance. The timer in the display shows the number of seconds remaining in the mode, and automatically returns to the previously selected mode when approximately 20 seconds have elapsed.(Pressing the button again in the middle of activating the mode can deactivate it.)

Certainly, I would have appreciated an introduction to those areas as well.

If you're interested in reviewing the Panamera Turbo.Winding road like Hakone TurnpikeI have to run the Otherwise, you won't know how good it really is.
On normal roads, you'll just end up having too much power for the Panamera Turbo, and the "If it's just highway and city driving, then a Mercedes-Benz S-Class or something like that would be more luxurious and comfortable.I think we can conclude that
But the Panamera Turbo is a charmer.The Porsche is a place where the duality of "luxury" and "sporty" is well balanced, and the turning and body movements in the corners are truly amazing!I wish you had reviewed that from the
But, well, it's hard to go running to Hakone for a single review.

He said.

Panamera Turbo Price

Finally, let's talk about price. According to their assessment of Loperaio's

"When you consider that it's $23 million, plus more than $26 million if you add options: .... It's a bit expensive. I'd like to buy a used car, but not a new one..."

You said...

Yeah, sure, it's expensive (-_-)

I have no objection there. It's the price you can buy a house for now....

So this time, as a Panamera Turbo owner, I have added a lot of information, but I look forward to watching Loperaio's youtube channel in the future.

Later, Mr. Kawakubo of Loperaio responded to us on twitter. Thank you!


By the way, here is Loperaio's review of the Panamera Turbo.

    Great follow up comment. I really wanted to comment on the sport response button. Normal driving is totally different as it is a 4 cylinder for fuel economy. As an owner, I'm like ah-ha, and I guess that's because there is a certain demographic that can afford it. The back up camera is no different than the MB.

    I feel really refreshed.

      Thank you for saying so!
      As you say, I definitely wanted you to try pushing the sport response button...
      I would have liked to have seen it pushed and compared with the AMGGT's acceleration, etc.

      But surely, given Loperaio's clientele, it could be a review like that ^ ^;

  2. How to Support Life

    Mina.

     It has been a very long time.
    I happened to be watching that Loperaio YouTube yesterday.
    I was a little disappointed, so I feel a little better.

    General Manager Kawakubo said the good parts are good and the bad parts are bad.
    I thought you were the one who said it clearly, but this is not the case with the other cars.
    I would think that there is quite a bit of error in the impressions as well.

    Too bad.

    Or at least half of the functionality of the center panel.
    I'd at least check out the sport mode switching and boost.
    I wanted them to do it. I wonder if this will sell.

    How much more, at least a little more.

    • Mina.Mina.

      How to support your life, Mr.
      It's been a while!
      I'm glad you feel a little better lol.

      This video of the Panamera Turbo seemed to have too small a percentage of reviews about the driving...
      I think the Panamera is more of a sports car than a luxury sedan, and I would have liked a review that gave a sense of that.

      As you said, the touch panel is also very ingenious, so I just want them to dig a little deeper ^ ^;

    In the past, the Loperaio channel had some driving scenes where the car was clearly going over 1?km/h, and I think this was part of the appeal of high-displacement and power cars. But recently, I thought it might be difficult to publish such videos that might be criticized for legal compliance.

    Also, Mr. Kawakubo would give his honest opinion from a layman's point of view, and the maniacal and knowledgeable sales clerk who was his passenger would support him with preliminary information about the car, but the number of famous sales clerks who stand aside has decreased, which has also affected the quality of the reviews.

    • Mina.Mina.

      Mr. Ishi.
      This time, Ishi safely (laughs).
      Yes...it's hard to drive over the legal speed limit when you become such a well-known channel.

      >Kawakubo-san would give his honest opinion from a layman's point of view, and the maniacal and knowledgeable sales clerk who was his passenger would support him with preliminary information about the car, but the quality of the reviews has also been affected by the decrease in the number of famous sales clerks who stand aside.

      I see...! So that's how it used to be...!
      That composition would make for a pretty interesting and high quality video. A salesman who sells cars for work and a person who really likes cars and is a car enthusiast have completely different knowledge and perspectives...
