Hello everyone. This is Mina, the administrator of "A Porsche Came to My Home". I would like to share the real voices of various Porsche owners with you! This project was born from the request of our readers, "I want to share the real voices of various Porsche owners!Porsche Owner's FileThe "Mere Old Man". Part 11 is a review of the purchase, options, and driving of the 971 Panamera 4S from Mamma, a resident of Hokkaido, Japan.
I have posted a lot of information about the Panamera on this blog, and I believe that the driving and ride quality will completely change between the normal, 4, 4S, turbo, and hybrid. So, how do you evaluate the Panamera 4S that we received this time? Please take a look.

A word to our readers: We are happy to help anyone who is considering buying a Panamera.
As I look back over the history of my beloved car, I would like to share with you some of the things that I have learned about the car I love.I think I was obsessed with Honda, especially the VTEC engine, for the first half of my car life.I remembered that "the
After leaving Honda, I happened to take a form of German cars. First, as far as Audi cars are concerned, "Sparkling interior and exterior lightingI was attracted to the BMW M3 sedan because of the " and about the BMW M3 sedan because of the "Muscular design with blister fenders and power domeI remember falling in love with the "I" and bought it.
And then, as more and more people around me became acquainted with German cars, I naturally became interested in German cars, and I began to think, "I'd like to drive a German car, too.Fast, cool, beautiful instrument panel.The axis of decision-making in selecting a car, "the car of the future," has not changed consistently since the Honda Prelude.
One day at dusk, dashing away991 type 911 Carrera 4I was shocked and impressed by the beauty of the 911's style and the splendor of its tail lamps. The beauty of the 911's style and the splendor of its tail lights struck me as if I had been struck by lightning.I wonder if there is any way we can welcome a Porsche into our home.I began to be aware of this.
It was the "991 911 Carrera 4" that triggered my strong interest in Porsche cars, as mentioned above, but(I thought the overall design was stunning, especially the rear view was breathtaking)If you buy a 911, you will need another car for 4 full passengers.
At the time, my interest in Porsche was waning, thinking that I would have to wait until my children had grown up and moved out of the house to have two cars. I had read in a magazine or something that "The design of the 971 Panamera is a 991 911-likeKnowing that "
'Could it be that the 971 Panamera is incredibly cool! No, it's incredibly cool! And it's a four-seater!"
I began to actively consider purchasing the product.
From a power balance point of view, since we are switching from a BMW M3 sedan.Panamera, Panamera 4, Panamera 4SWe considered three different types of vehicles.
I live in Hokkaido, which is a snow country, but cars these days are very smart and I didn't even think that 4-wheel drive was essential.(Even the RWD M3 sedan was able to handle the snow.)
So, as a matter of course, I tried to get a quote from the least expensive RWD Panamera, but the person in charge told me thatFew people buy this one (RWD Panamera) (Nikko)I sensed the implied nuance of "don't ask me for FR" (laughs).
As for me, I would say, "There is no reason to be so concerned about the RWD model.I thought, "I'd like to compare the Panamera 4 and Panamera 4S," and in the end I decided to do so.
The standard equipment on the Panamera 4 and the Panamera 4S is different, of course, but if you are prepared to increase the cost and add options, you can get almost the same equipment.
However.The High Gloss Black Interior Package is available for the Panamera 4, but not for the Panamera 4S.It was.(Although the catalog indicates that the 4S model is also available, the configurator does not offer this option, and when I checked with the person in charge, I was told that it was still not available. (It is also selectable for turbo models.)As someone who was thinking either "black or carbon for the interior,"
Why is it that both the Panamera 4 and the Panamera Turbo have the option of the High Gloss Black Interior Package, but the Panamera Turbo has the option of the High Gloss Black Interior Package?"Only the Panamera 4S can't.Is it? Is the Panamera 4S the only outcast...?"
I was slightly caught off guard... but I think the law will be its power performance, whether you choose the Panamera 4 or the Panamera 4S, and the "For the interior, you can choose black for the Panamera 4 or carbon for the Panamera 4S.We considered the position of "standing".
And finally, we chose the Panamera 4S, becauseIf you choose a Panamera that has less horsepower and torque than a BMW M3 sedan, you will probably feel that the Panamera is lacking in relative terms.I thought, "I'm not going to be able to do that.
The horsepower and torque of the Panamera 4 are also sufficient in normal terms, and I did not feel underpowered at all during the test drive, but perhaps there was a yearning for the "S" emblem in my heart.

I had originally quoted 4s with the intention of orderingA near-order unit is in Porsche Japan's custody.proposal, and we ultimately purchased that vehicle.
Although it was not an exact match to the car we were planning to order, we decided to go for it because it had important options that we wanted to be sure about, we could change some of the missing features, and we could deliver the car in a few weeks. I decided to go for it. By the way, the points of concern were
Carrara White Metallic, Saddle Brown/Luxor Beige, LED matrix headlights (including PDLS pulses), Comfort Access, Sport Chrono Package, 4-zone automatic climate control, Carbon Interior Package The "Carbon Interior Package" is available in the following colors
The first time I saw it, I thought it would be a good idea to add ambient light to the room. In addition, we were going to add ambient light, butPanamera in storage is not equipped and cannot be retrofitted.So we finally decided to give up.
In addition, the Panamera in storage had many options that we had not originally anticipated. It would be rude to call them superfluous...it's just that the "If it's attached, it could be useful.I was convinced in my own way and decided to purchase the car. I will describe the evaluation of the actual options after delivery later.
In the end, the vehicle to be ordered minus "ambient light" plus "alpha" (which is quite a bit (^_^;)) led to the purchase of a storage vehicle based on the expectation that there would not be a significant difference between MY2018 and MY2019.
Order late September 2018 → Delivery mid-October 2018
Next → Panamera 4S engine, acceleration, and additional information that I feel after 6 months.
