Can Wide-Body Cars Really Be Used Daily? My Experience Owning a Porsche Cayenne and Panamera

Daily Use of the Porsche Panamera and Cayenne Based on my experience owning a Porsche Panamera for four years (970 Panamera Edition, 971 Panamera Turbo) and a Cayenne E-Hybrid (third-generation Cayenne) for two years, I’d like to share my thoughts on using wide-body cars daily. To get straight to the point, wide-body cars are hard to use daily in Japan. Both the Panamera and Cayenne have a width of about 1,940mm and a length of...

Impressions After a Week with the Porsche Macan｜How Does It Differ from the Cayenne and ...

Macan S The other day, my 991 early Carrera 4 GTS was due for inspection, so I took it to the dealer. At that time, I was able to borrow a Macan S as a loaner, so I’d like to share my impressions. This Macan is the pre-touchscreen interior model currently on sale, featuring the 2019 minor facelift with the connected rear tail lamps, often called the mid-cycle model. The specs include a 3.0 L...

Participating in the 911DAYS Track Day with a Porsche 911: Tips for Attending with Kids

Heading to Fuji Speedway with the 911 and Cayenne The other day, my husband took part in the RECARO Presents 10th 911DAYS Track Day held at Fuji Speedway, and our family went to watch him run on the circuit. This track day is so popular that the 911DAYS slots filled up before the schedule was even publicly released, putting many on the waiting list. We join every year thanks to an invitation from President Suga...

Information on the Porsche 911 Turbo S and Cayenne GTS Coupe We received a message from a blog reader saying, “I purchased a Porsche 911 Turbo S and a Cayenne GTS Coupe.

Driving the Cayenne on the Highway in a Torrential Downpour

Driving the Cayenne in a Torrential Downpour The other day, I had the chance to drive the Cayenne on the Chugoku Expressway during a heavy downpour. I’ve driven the Cayenne in the rain many times before, but this rain was truly intense—like being inside an automatic car wash. Even in those conditions, the Cayenne felt incredibly stable and smooth, as if the rain wasn’t even there. Of course, I drove more cautiously than usual—slowing down...

Costs and Photos of Scratch Repairs on My Porsche Cayenne

I Scratched My Porsche Cayenne The other day, I wrote an article about how I scratched my Cayenne. On the same day, I took it to a body shop for an estimate, and after sending it in for repairs, it came back—so I want to share about that experience. The body shop I entrusted with the Cayenne repairs is the same one I used many times when I had just graduated from being a paper...

[Reflection] Terrible! I Scratched My Porsche While Parking!

Scratched the Cayenne… The other day, I scratched the right rear side of my Cayenne. After all the proud talk on this blog about “safe driving” and whatnot, I ended up doing exactly the opposite… To explain what happened: this Sunday (today) is the Hyogo Prefecture governor election, but since I couldn’t make it on the day, I decided to go early voting. When I parked at the nearest facility’s parking lot, I scratched the...

The Reason You Can Drive a Porsche Long Distance Is Not “Comfort” but “...

Is Porsche Driving About Pleasure? When I’m riding in the Cayenne with my family, my husband and I often have this conversation. Not just the Cayenne, but Porsches in general make you want to keep driving endlessly. Even when I’m on the highway and about to exit at the nearest interchange, I always think, “I want to keep driving a little longer. Maybe I’ll just stay on the highway a bit more.” That’s how it...

Spring Drive through Nara and Wakayama in a Porsche Cayenne

Heading to Nara and Wakayama in the Cayenne The other day, my family and I visited Kumano Nachi Taisha Shrine. It was just before the state of emergency was declared, but since it had been planned for a long time, I’m glad we managed to go at the last minute. Our family doesn’t go for the traditional New Year’s shrine visit on January 1st. There’s no deep reason, but both my husband and I dislike...
