I still like the Panamera.

Porsche Panamera

Again, to Amakusa and Aso in Kyushu

At the end of November, a family of four traveled to Amakusa and Aso in Kyushu with their Panamera.(There was talk of going with air-cooled? (There was talk of going with air-cooled, but we decided to go with the Panamera since it was a long drive for our family of four.)In fact, the same time last year. In fact, at the same time last year, we hadMy family took a trip to Amakusa and Aso in Kyushu in the Panamera.However, the weather was bad and there were many cars, so we could not enjoy the Aso Milk Road or the magnificent scenery at all.

So, this year, I took the same route again with a sense of revenge.(I also got a lodging ticket for the Amakusa inn "Tenku no fune" through my hometown tax payment.)We decided to head out.

To get to Kyushu, we took the ferry again, because traveling on the highway with a four-year-old and a one-year-old on board is quite demanding.

Or rather, it is the second daughter who is the hardest. My eldest daughter has always been able to fall asleep as soon as we got in the car, but my second daughter never sleeps. And every time she would get into a car seat, she would get into a fight with her older sister, and a fight broke out.
I wish they would just go to sleep after such a rampage and cry themselves to sleep, but they kept crying, whether it was for an hour or not, andIf you want, you can take an hour to get out of the car seat and brilliantly (?).I'm going to get out of here.The following is a list of the most common problems with the "C" in the "C" column.

Well, I admit that I have a hard time giving up, or persistence...but I always think that if my second daughter would sleep easily, we would be able to enjoy a more comfortable drive with our family of four.

First, to Amakusa!

The ferry we used this time was19:50 Osaka Nanko - 8:30 Shin Moji PortThe Panamera is just barely over 5 meters in length. Since the Panamera is just barely over 5 meters in length, it is classified as a "passenger car under 6 meters," and the fare for the Panamera alone would be 15,000 yen one way (explosion).

The ferry arrived at Shin Moji Port at 8:30 the next day as scheduled, and from there we headed straight to our lodgings in Amakusa.

The navigation system indicated that it would take about four hours to reach the inn via the Kyushu Expressway.Then I can afford to have a leisurely lunch along the way."Having said that, we were driving the Panamera on the Kyushu Expressway under clear skies. While driving on the highway, my husband, who has been driving air-cooled cars for a while now, kept saying, "I've been driving this car for a long time, but I don't like it.

I'm really impressed with the Panamera, it's really a great car. This is the super express of dreams!

He was thrilled, saying such things as.

In the meantime, it was before midnight, and we, who are far from gourmets, had lunch at Gusto.(Gusto is good w/everywhere in Japan)I was thinking that since I was to check in at 3:00 p.m., I should not be able to get in yet....

I'm sorry, your room isn't ready yet..."He refused to do so.

That's right. I'm sorry too.

So after that, we decided to go touring along the Amakusa seaside road until check-in at 15:00.

The sky was clear and contrasted beautifully with the blue ocean.On this day in Amakusa, there were few cars, and the Panamera drove gracefully and sportily along the road with moderate curves by the sea.What a luxurious time!

Amakusa was such a beautiful place...it was really pleasant.

journeyI heard that Amakusa Shiro is not actually a real person, but I don't know.and while showing off some obscure miscellaneous knowledge.(EXPLOSION), ,"Oh! This place looks like it would make a good photo op!"and stopped the Panamera, and my husband snapped a picture.

In the meantime, we realized that we had come a long way from the inn, and when we looked at the clock, it was already before 3:00 p.m. We hurriedly turned back to the inn. We hurried back to the inn and spent the rest of the day in the hot spring, eating delicious food and relaxing.

I wonder if my daughters will remember coming to a lodge like this as children when they grow up. ...... They probably won't remember any of it.

The next day, we went to Aso.

The preliminary weekly weather forecast predicted heavy rain.The forecast for the next day changed to clear skies just before the event.I thought it was a very unusual thing to happen for me, a woman of rain and fog, and asked, "Will it really clear up?" We were skeptical (-_-).

The next morning. The next morning, there was still no sunrise, and the sky was still dark at 8:00 a.m. "I knew it..." I thought, and headed for Aso. I thought to myself, "I knew it..." and set off from Amakusa for Aso.

The road to Aso was a bit crowded with cars, but to our surprise, the weather gradually cleared up along the way.

Oh, the weather forecast was right!

From there, we ran up to the Daikanbou Observation Deck through the magnificent Aso land where silver grass was in full bloom. Last year when we came here, the sky was cloudy and there was a sprinkling of rain, but this time we were happy to see a beautiful view.

Eating strawberry soft serve ice cream at the observatory(Or rather, my daughters took most of it and I didn't get to eat it.)From there, we decided to go through to Yufuin.

With me driving, we were able to drive on the winding roads of Aso in sport mode.

Holy shit, that feels super nice!

The Panamera is amazing.Comfort" and "Sporty."I thought I had known for a long time that it was a matter of balancing the two, but once again, I felt that it was really true.

By putting the car in Sport mode, the footing is much tighter and the Panamera's athleticism is even better. The engine sound is also pleasant, with the double whine and heavy bass that only a turbo can produce.The tone is different from the popping sound of the Boxster.But i also like the sound of this turbo.

The Panamera feels great whether you are driving uphill or downhill corners, even if you drive without thinking. The Panamera turns as expected without any need to turn the steering wheel, and there is no slippage on the gas pedal or brake, and the acceleration is perfect.

It is hard to believe that this is a 5-meter-long, 2-meter-wide behemoth.

Panamera, a really well made car.

My husband, too.

The Panamera is still a sports car. Even though it is a luxury sedan, it has a similar ride to the 911. Also, the air-cooling is very good, but the performance of the modern Porsche is amazing. The Panamera is truly an amazing car.

He said.

With respect to the Panamera, perhaps theFor those who want the feeling of driving by themselves, it feels inadequate.I think. The ride is very smooth, albeit firmer, so you can't really feel the road surface in your hands, and you get a solid sense of a luxury sedan.

Also, you don't have to be very conscious of understeer or oversteer, just let the Panamera take care of itself and it will run well.

However, thisThe Panamera is amazing, and I have come to love the Panamera once again.

After an hour or so, we arrived at Yufuin in no time. From there, I turned the driving over to my husband and we took the Kyushu Expressway to Shin Moji Port and headed home.

I knew it...

I thought about it again this time when I went touring with my family of four in the Panamera.

I still prefer the Panamera.

And.(You don't have to tell me, but there you go.)

Sure, the Boxster is fun, the 911 (964) is fun, and there is no doubt that it is a great car.But the Boxster and 911 are fine for touring alone or with a couple, but not for a family of four.(I mean, the Boxster only holds two people.)

When traveling with the family by car, "driving pleasure" alone is not enough, and "comfort" such as spaciousness and ride comfort are also very important points.

I am sure that many fathers in the world would be drivers, and moreover, fathers who like Porsche would be willing to drive. But as a wife"Will it be comfortable and enjoyable for me and my children to travel without driving and without experiencing the joys of driving?"This is a very important part of the process.

So if I may be allowed the luxury of a wife's perspective, if her husbandI want a Porsche!"If you started out by saying, "Buy a Panamera first!" And then my wife would be convinced by its comfort, driving performance, and design. That would convince my wife of its comfort, driving and design.(The Panamera, from what I've heard, is insanely popular, even with the wife, who is not a car enthusiast.)I hope they will buy a two-seater or a 911 when it is ready..." I thought selfishly of such a thing, and once again, the trip was a reconfirmation of the Panamera's greatness.

Oh no - I want to go back!

    Mina, the

    Hello.
    It was nice to read about your Kyushu touring.
    The end of the year has been hectic, and I personally haven't had much good happen to me recently.
    I was soooooooooooooooooooooo happy because I didn't have any.
    Thank you very much.

    I plan to travel back and forth between Tokyo and Osaka during the year-end and New Year holidays.
    I will be watching the highway information to determine when to move.
    Well, but you can always drive up the Tomei Expressway from Atsugi to the other side of the highway.
    It's a baba crowd, though. LOL!

    I have a Porsche Christmas party today, so I'm going and thinking about it today.

      How to support your life, Mr.

      Ohh thank you for saying that! LOL!
      Kyushu touring was really nice.

      Are you coming to Osaka for New Year's?
      The highways are going to be crowded, but there are some good roads in Kansai.
      Please try to run ^_^

      Ah, so there's a Porsche Christmas party!
      I envy Tokyo for having so many such events ^_^.

    It kind of makes me want a Panamera too.
    Well, now that we have raised our children, we are going to go to the 911 first and think of it as a Super Sport Utility Vehicle.
    I am originally from Kyoto, but since my parents are no longer with us, I do not plan to return home for New Year's this year. I am from Kyoto, but my parents are no longer in Kyoto, so I will not be returning home for New Year's this year.

    Your daughters are adorable! Your younger children insist on it. It may not help much, but in our family
    I believe that children are like their parents, and I think back to the past.
    They don't cry or try to leave without reason, so they think there must be something wrong with them.
    I enjoyed it to a certain extent and found the answer to my question.

    I don't really think there is anything wrong with the Panamera, so it could be that the car seat doesn't fit, that it hurts or makes her feel uncomfortable, that she doesn't like being different from adults, or that she doesn't like being different from her big sister, or something else. In our case, even at the age of 1 or 2 years old, they seemed to be quite satisfied when we explained things in a logical manner. I think I tried to explain to her why seat belts are necessary, or to let her experience the acceleration when she braked suddenly. Well, both of my parents originally loved to sleep, and my children inherited that love. We always said, "You can sleep, that's great, I'm jealous. If I asked if Dad could sleep in the driver's seat, they would say, "No! And then they would say, "Well, you can sleep in the driver's seat for me.

      >I kind of want a Panamera too.
      By all means! LOL!

      >Well, now that we've raised our kids, we're going to go to the 911 first and think of it as a Super Sport Utility Vehicle.
      It would be wonderful if you could suddenly go to a sports car that you can enjoy as a couple after you have finished raising your children and your children have left home.

      >・・ Since they would not cry or try to leave without reason, we assume that there must be something wrong with them.
      >I enjoyed it and found the answer to my question.

      I see... so when I think about it, my oldest daughter is already wearing a regular seatbelt in a chair-only seat, so "why am I the only one being treated like a baby!" I think that's the part where I'm like.
      Maybe she is not convinced. (She wants to do everything just like her big sister and thinks she can do it. lol)

      Yes, I don't think there's anything wrong with the Panamera, so there must be a reason, and
      I'll try to explain it a bit better, as I think I can understand it if I talk about it as you say.

      I don't know what it is, but I can't help but be lenient with the second one lol (is that her strategy too? W)
