I can drive long distances in a Porsche not because it's "comfortable" but because it's "pleasure".

My Family's Car Life

Is driving a Porsche a pleasure?

I often have this conversation with my husband when we are in the Cayenne as a family.

Porsche, not just Cayenne, makes me want to drive everywhere. Even when you are driving on the highway and have to get off at the nearest IC soon, you can't help but think, "I still want to ride a little more. I could stay on the highway for a while.You always think, 'What's the point of this?

And.

I, like my husband, was "aI love driving and want to drive for 10 hours or however long it takes.I'm not the type of person who says, "I'm not going to drive a car for 15 minutes.I'm tired. You drive.said, and the rest of the time he would sleep in the passenger seat all the time.

I used to be like that before, when I was "I want to drive more and more.I think to myself, "That's a very good thing," he said.

And the other day, I received a comment on my blog that went something like this.

In a book titled "Dandy Talk" by automotive critic Aritsune Tokudaiji, he wroteIt is not "comfort" that makes long drives possible. It is "pleasure.I was struck in my knees and thought, "I see! I was struck in the knee.

And.

Oh!!! Indeed, you're right!

Of course, "comfort" is important for long-distance driving. However, if comfort alone is not enough, then "Reach your destination without getting tired." but, like Porsche, "you can do it.Even after you reach your destination, you will still want to drive further and further.I don't think it is so much about "the

高速道路のゆるやかなカーブのハンドリング、加速感、車線変更、思いのままに運転できること・・・など、走りの性能が高く「Running, turning, stoppingPorsche makes you want to drive more and more because everything about "Porsche" is pleasant for the driver.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.pleasureI thought that Mr. Tokudaiji, who so aptly expressed himself with the word "a great man," was indeed a great man.

However, I have not yet driven many of Japan's "famous roads," and I usually drive only on highways and Ashiyu Driveway, so when my husband, who drives a Porsche on good roads all over Japan, says, "I've never driven on a road that is not famous.

When I drive on my favorite roads in Tohoku and Okayama, I feel really good. It has been a long time since I took delivery of the car, and I already know how it drives, but even so, I am still very moved. If anything, I almost cry because I am so moved.

It seems that this is the case.

Porsche Drive

Electric Porsches are fun too.

The other day, he said, "The EU has announced a proposal to effectively ban the sale of new gasoline-powered vehicles, including hybrids, by 2035.The news was about the "electric car". I used to wonder if I would not be able to enjoy the same kind of car life as before once gasoline-powered cars are gone and everything is electric...etc.I recently got to test drive Porsche's first EV sports car, the Taikan.I felt no need to worry about that.

The Taikan was truly a car of pleasure, for it made me want to drive everywhere.

However, since the charging environment was still insufficient in Japan, my husband

It's so solidly built that I personally would love to take the Taikan on more trips. I'd like to go touring in Kanto and Tohoku without thinking about range or charging points, but that's a bit difficult in the current environment, which is the biggest obstacle.

and although he did not immediately purchase it, he said, "I'm not sure I'm going to be able toWith this, we can fully expect and enjoy the driving experience of EV cars to be developed in the future.I felt it was a "good idea.

Of course, we will no longer be able to enjoy the sound and feel of the engine, but I hope that Porsche will continue to develop cars that make us want to drive them long distances and give us a sense of pleasure.

    According to Tokudaiji, the cars that bring him pleasure are Porsche (especially 911) and Ferrari!

    By the way, if you search for "Porsche blog" on Google, you will find another Porsche blog at the top of the list, but I feel that Mina's blog is the most interesting in terms of content. It is not only about performance, but also about life with a Porsche, feelings of owning and giving up a Porsche, and other information that you cannot find in catalogs or critics' comments.

    Maybe if you include a video in your article, it will make it easier to get to the top of the search results!

      Thank you!
      We both have our day jobs, so we don't post articles often.
      I hope we can continue to work toward a blog that only we can write!
      Thank you!
