Regarding test drive reviews

This blog has aI've posted quite a few test drive reviews of Porsche and other makes.ので、そんな自分たちが言うのもおかしな話なのだが「Don't take test drive reviews too seriously.I always think, "I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do.

This is because a single test drive review can only tell us one aspect of the car.

Even if you drive the same car, you can't just say, "stiff to rideSome people say, "I don't know," while others say, "I don't know."Smooth ride.Some people say, "Just the right amount of power.Some people say, "I don't know," while others say, "I don't know."Not enough power.Some people say.

Thus, it is often the case that the evaluations are the exact opposite, even though they should have been in the same car.

It's never that what they're saying is wrong or that they're lying, it's just that the difference in the way they feel and the subtle changes in that car makeEven if you drive the same car, your evaluation will be very different.I think that is what this means.

Therefore, I decided to give some thought to that area this time.

Different people have different tastes.

Different people have different likes, dislikes and preferences for everything. I have a sweet tooth, so I'm a "sweetie."Their cakes are soooo good!I thought, "I'm not going to let my motherToo sweet to eat.It's not uncommon for people to say, "I'm not a good person.

It is the same with cars: people who "like Porsche" will inevitably be pro-Porsche, people who "like Toyota" will be pro-Toyota, and it is natural for people to view things subjectively, even when they are not about manufacturers.

So, even if you drive the same car, the way you perceive and feel it will be quite different.

Because the car I usually drive is different.

On a regular basis, each person's car is totally different from the other.Domestic and imported cars, sports cars, sedans, SUVs, compact cars, it really varies.And since the sensations of the car we usually drive are unknowingly ingrained in our bodies and often become the standard, the way we feel and evaluate the car will change even after a test drive.

For example, if your everyday car is a relatively luxurious sedan.Riding a bare 911 makes for a "very stiff ride".On the other hand, if you usually drive a car with a stiffer suspension that is more sport oriented, you might think, "I can't drive a car with a stiffer suspension.The bare 911 is supple.The "I can feel it," for example.

Also, as a similar phenomenon, I would like to tell you about a Golf 7 that once existed in our home, where both husband and wife wereThe Golf rides well, drives well, and is a really nice car.I was usually a big fan of the new Cayenne I was allowed to test drive at the time, but the ride was so smooth that when I got into the Golf 7 on the way home, it felt lumpy, choppy, and very uncomfortable.

After a while, however, as I began to forget how comfortable the Cayenne was.I still like the comfort of the Golf.I began to think, "I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do.

I realized then that people's senses are greatly affected by the car they normally drive and the car they were driving just before.

The same car will ride differently depending on the specifications and mileage.

This is something I've heard a lot about.Cars vary greatly depending on the tires they are wearing.My husband was also surprised at the difference in driving and ride quality when he changed his Boxster's tires from Goodyear to Michelin before. Furthermore, even the same tire can change depending on the air pressure.

In addition, the driving and riding comfort of the same model varies greatly depending on the specifications and options.In terms of Porsche, the ride quality is said to change depending on whether it has PASM, PDCC, or PCCB, and the engine sound also changes considerably depending on whether it has a sports exhaust or not.

And especially in the case of Porsche, it is said that it changes depending on the mileage. The suppleness of the car, the feeling that the engine is getting used to it, and even the sound of the engine will change drastically between a car with a mileage of 300 km and a car with a mileage of 30,000 km.

So even though two people, Mr. A and Mr. B, test drove the same modelSince we have not test-driven perfectly identical models, it is only natural for us to differ in our assessment of them.It can be said to be.

Gather information from multiple reviews.

On that basis, I return to what I wrote at the beginning of the article.One review is not the whole story.I think it's very important to keep in mind that "I'm not sure what I'm looking for. So, if there is a model you are interested in, it would be good to gather information by looking at many reviews of various people riding them. It would be best if I could test drive the model myself, but that is not possible with limited edition models.

My husband also has this to say about the wide differences in people's evaluations of the same car when they test drive it.

Really, different people appreciate it differently. So.I usually look at articles from all over the world, both domestic and international, and reviews by all kinds of people on youtube.Some people express exactly the same sentiments as I do, while others say, "Oh, you see it that way?I think it's really difficult because there are some evaluations that I think, "I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.
On the other hand, I'm more careful when I'm reviewing something than just saying it's a nice ride.Use metaphors and comparisons whenever possible, such as "I like the ride compared to ________" or "I like the ride compared to ________.I am conscious of conveying the message.

And...the more you know about cars, the deeper you get. The more you know about cars, the more profound they are.
