The other day, I drove our Panamera for the first time in a while. Shortly before that, I had been allowed to test drive a Panamera GTS, so compared to thatPanamera GTS rides better than Panamera Turbo.I had a feeling.
The ride of the Panamera GTS was similar to the smoothness of the current Cayenne, or...It's hard to believe it's the same V8, it's soooo light and smooth.The Panamera Turbo seemed to have a heavier, lumbering feel to it.
We were just talking about this when my husband
It is difficult to compare the ride quality of a car just by comparing different models, isn't it?The size of the wheel and the
It can change as much as you want depending on the air pressure, the tires you are wearing, and other factors like that.I'm not sure.
I said. I see... Continue.
I got to test drive it the other day.The Panamera GTS had 20" wheels and the air pressure was around 2.6-2.8.Right? My Panamera has large 21-inch wheels, and the specified air pressure (standard pressure) is 3.1 in the front, so I think it gives the car a rough and hard ride.
And.
I said, "If you do that.Maybe our Panamera should try lowering the air pressure more?Then the ride would be softer and smoother, right?" My husband replied, "Yes.
Well, yes, but... my Panamera is equipped with TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System), so it warns me if I lower the pressure appropriately. By the wayThe air pressure is set to "standard pressure."I'm not sure how to do it. If you set this to "comfort pressure" and change the air pressure, you can get a smoother ride.Comfort pressure on Japanese models is set to warn if the car goes over 160 km/h.
Well, I don't think I will ever drive more than 160km/h on Japanese roads, but I don't like such Japanese-specific specifications, so I use standard pressure. So, as a result, I end up with a stiff ride.
Incidentally, the German version of Comfort Pressure is set to 270 km/h. That's just like the country of the autobahn.
And. As I recall, my husband once told me about this area....
The air pressure in the 971 Panamera that we are currently driving at home isTwo types of pressure can be selected: "standard pressure" and "comfort pressure."So. When the car is purchased, it is left pre-set to one or the other by the dealer, which means that it can be changed to suit your preference.
Incidentally, in the case of the 971 PanameraSettings can be changed on the touch panel under "Vehicle→Controlled Vehicle→Tire Pressure Monitoring".
andPorsche with TPMS is aI have to look at the vehicle screen and see the instructions to add/decrease how much more air to add/decrease and then add air.In. If you use an air meter to inflate, the air pressure will be totally different because it doesn't take temperature into account.Surprisingly few people know about this. Many people don't know about it, even those who like Porsche a lot.
My husband said, "I don't know how you know all those details. I said, "I mean, how do you know all those details?"
Naturally, I am not comfortable with knowing 100% about the tools I use (laugh). I research everything to death before I buy anything.
My husband laughed.
My family's Panamera is.Although it is firm, it is not uncomfortable to ride, but rather smooth.I think. I think the Boxster is also more supple and smooth, but when I switch to the Panamera shortly after, I think, "Even in the same Porsche, the ride quality is so different between the sports and luxury models.It makes me think, "What is this?
Wheels are 21" and the air pressure is such a good ride even with standard pressure.So, if the wheels were a little smaller and had comfort pressure, our Panamera would have an even smoother ride.
It also depends on the brand of tires you are wearing...it is very deep.
Thanks to you, I have the opportunity to test drive a variety of cars.It's hard to say "this car rides..." just by test driving it once.I wondered if it was a good idea.
Ideally, we would like to be able to make a comprehensive judgment of the same model by changing the air pressure and riding on different sized wheels, but it is not possible to do so on a test ride.
Given that, it's a good idea to write an article aboutCommunicate the prerequisites of what kind of specifications, options, and wheels the car we test-drove this time is equipped with.I was reminded that it is really important to
Well...the more you know, the deeper the car is.
