My husband would choose one of the Porsches we have - Porsche 911 (964C2) or Panamera or Boxster.

My Family's Car Life

A slightly different couple

My wife and I are not really interested in food and clothing. Our family of four doesn't go out to eat that much.(About twice a month)If we do go, it's to Gusto or Kaitenzushi. As for clothes, my husband and I both have a "noUniqlo is more than enough clothing for me.If you want, my husband will wear the clothes he buys until they are torn. And he rarely replaces appliances.(I'm going to replace it when it breaks, but it won't...)I am not interested in interior design. The house I live in is a house, but I rent it, and if anything, I have no intention of buying a house in the future.

This may sound like a "minimalist" or "thrifty" family, but there is one more characteristic that sets our family apart from the average household. That is

The "car coefficient," not Engel's coefficient, is unusually high.

That's what I'm talking about. We currently have four cars in our house, plus another waiting to be delivered...it's a crazy situation.

The car my husband used to choose.

Even though we are a family of four, our daughters are still small and we live in a "Even though it is in the suburbs, you can get to both Osaka City and Kobe City in a short train ride.Since it is a "one car per family" place, one car per family is usually enough. When you think about it, "If your husband were to keep one of the cars you have now, which one would he keep?It occurred to me.

In fact, before, before the air-cooled 911s had yet to come along, "Boxster GTS (MT), Panamera Turbo, and(Mercedes-Benz as it existed at the time)If you were SL500, which one would you choose?I once asked my husband, "What do you mean? My husband at that time said, "It's hard to say... it depends on the situation... if I were to give it a 5-point scale...While saying, "

(1) Ashiyu Driveway (moderate mountain road)
Boxster: 5, Panamera: 4.9, SL: 3
(2) Rural National Highway
Boxster: 4, Panamera: 4.8, SL: 5
(iii) Expressway
Boxster: 4.3, Panamera: 5, SL: 4.8
4) Street Riding
Boxster: 4.5, Panamera: 4.3, SL: 4.8

and evaluate the

It's hard to say, but the one that balances everything is the Panamera, so I guess I'll have to go with the Panamera.

He said. I remember that I felt insanely happy and relieved to hear those words as a Panamera lover.

Porsche New Panamera Turbo

911, Boxster, Panamera?

So, what about my husband now... so I asked my husband who was home.If you could only keep one air-cooled 911 (964C2), Panamera, or Boxster, what would you choose?My husband was quick this time to respond.

It's obvious. 911.

...seriously...!(For what it's worth, I thought you'd answer "Panamera.")

I said, "That's a very quick decision.

I've never had a car that felt so good to drive. And it can hold four people."

I said, "No, you're right. "Well, yes, but if I choose air-cooled, I'll never go away with my family.(in Japanese history)You can read about why I don't like it in this article.)I'm going to complain a lot." I said.

Still, yeah.

And then it's over... (-_-)burst of laughter

Well, air-cooling is great for me in the driver's seat, but when it comes to a family of four, the passenger seat is not so comfortable.(Luggage and no place to put your feet up)And to be honest, it is too tight to ride in the back seat.


(This is tough every time...)

My second daughter is still in diapers, so when we go out, we have to carry a lot of diapers, wipes, and a change of clothes.

If the trunk is open, we can stuff our luggage in there, and it is true that the car can seat four people....As for me, I wouldn't hesitate to keep the Panamera if I had to.thought to my eldest daughter, who was five years old, who was standing beside me to ask for help.Which car do you like best?I asked, "What do you mean?" and my eldest daughter immediately responded, "I don't know.

Porción de Greene!

...I mean, it's air-cooled (-_-)

Why?" I ask.

Because when you sit back, your feet are on the floor.(The interior of the car is compact.)And the roof opens up a bit!(It has a sunroof.)

And. 'But what about the blue porch? I ask, "It's big and cool, isn't it?

I don't like it. Because the roof won't open and it's not fun (-_-)

And.

I was about to put my own child on the shelf and shove it in her face, but I guess that means I'm the underdog in the family at the moment.(I wouldn't count on it since my second daughter is only 2 years old.)

If that really happened, my life would be so low that I would have no choice but to buy another Panamera myself... I renewed my goal of buying a Porsche myself.

    Family stories are especially fun.

    I guess the 911 was chosen as per the first Porsche concept.

    How about adding a roof rack for long trips? I believe that roof racks have been an option on successive 911s.
    When our family used to return home with a sedan (Bluebird) and a stroller, we used soft bags (waterproof ones for roof racks) on the roof rack. We used to load about two wardrobe cases inside the soft bag.

    I think I would have bought one if it were a 911.

    Anyway, after the GT3, will there be a Panamera with a sunroof? I am looking forward to it.

      >I especially enjoy talking about family.
      Thank you for saying so!

      >I guess the 911 was chosen as per the first Porsche concept.

      I think my husband especially likes the 911 because it is "air cooled".
      It is simple, without the latest safety equipment, and they seem to enjoy the fact that their driving skills are directly reflected in the way they drive.
      (I honestly prefer the Panamera because it is easier to drive.)

      >How about adding a roof rack for long trips?
      I see! I see the roof rack option! I have also seen pictures of people overseas buying and carrying Christmas trees on 911.

      >I wonder if the next GT3 will be a Panamera with a sunroof. I'm looking forward to it too.
      I wonder what will happen...^^;Recently, I am also wondering about the hybrid area.
      I'll keep you posted on the Zuji blog if there are any more developments!

    Hello, my name is Yukisuke, owner of a 981 Boxster. I have been reading this blog since the beginning of this year. The first thing that triggered my interest was the article "Is it a defect that Porsche tires make a grinding sound when steering at low speeds? The sound has been particularly bad recently. The sound was especially bad recently, so I was looking it up on the net and found it. I replaced the front wheels with Michelin PS4S tires, and the rattling sound became much better. I also enjoy reading your articles from a new point of view, such as how to convince my wife to buy a car, etc. (laugh).

      Thank you so much for visiting my blog and commenting!
      I see you are driving a 981 Boxster! My husband always says, "I love the sound of NA!

      >I replaced the front wheels with Michelin PS4S and the rumbling sound is much better.
      I have read on Twitter that the gurgling sound was better after switching from Pirelli to Michelin, and I was thinking that Michelin is great.

      Also, since you live in Kobe and my family also goes to Sannomiya and Kobe by car on weekends, I thought it would be a good idea to have a car to go to Kobe.
      Maybe we'll cross paths somewhere without knowing it (laughs).

      Keep up the good work!

    Good evening.
    Congratulations on your featherless GT3 order...
    I think it's a great choice!

    Oh no, your husband is in love with the 964! It's like he's a slave to a disease.
    Eventually, I'd start to wonder about the narrow...

    Your children are so cute ♡ My sisters were like this too. They are already in high school and junior high.

    Thank you again.

      Thank you! My husband would be delighted to hear that!

      Well, it's not that I don't think so... I've been saying lately that 930 would be nice... (laughs).
