or those who &#8220;<strong>have no Porsche or Cayenne users among their friends and struggled to find advice<\/strong>,&#8221; I hope this post will be helpful.<br \/>\nWhile &#8220;<strong>Porsche = 911<\/strong>&#8221; is an undeniable fact built through Porsche\u2019s long history and tradition, I would be delighted if I could convey even a little that the SUV, which now forms the backbone of Porsche\u2019s business, also possesses wonderful charm and appeal.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"style3a\">1) Background to Purchase<\/h3>\n<h4 class=\"style4b\">\u2013 Childhood and the Supercar Boom<\/h4>\n<p>About 40 years ago, when I was in elementary school, the <strong>supercar boom arrived.<\/strong> Back then, as soon as I got home from school, I would grab my camera and jump on my bike to go hunting for supercars in the neighborhood.<br \/>\nI fondly remember the Lamborghini Miura stationed at the gas station, and the Lotus Europa, Porsche, and BMW parked in others\u2019 driveways, which made my heart race.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-11266\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/\u8fd1\u6240\u306e\u30df\u30a6\u30e9-800x569.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"569\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-11267\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/\u4ed6\u4eba\u306e911-800x562.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"562\" \/><\/p>\n<p>At that time, Japan did not have manufacturer-backed importers like today; import dealers such as Autoroman handled procurement and sales.<br \/>\nI often visited the Ring Road 8, where many import car dealers lined up, on weekends, capturing imported cars and supercars with my camera, and vowed in my heart, &#8220;<strong>Someday, I will drive a Porsche like Sakon Hayase<\/strong>&#8220;<span style=\"font-size: 8pt;\"> (the Porsche-driving rival of the protagonist in the manga Circuit no Okami)<\/span>.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"style4b\">\u2013 Progression through BMWs\u2026<\/h4>\n<p>After becoming a working adult, I went through several cars, choosing ones that suited my status and desires at the time.<br \/>\nAs a result, <strong>except for the first Primera, all were German cars<\/strong>.<span style=\"font-size: 8pt;\"> (Though the Primera had a European feel inspired by Opel)<\/span><br \/>\nAfter marriage, with the constraints of &#8220;<strong>only one parking space at home<\/strong>&#8221; and &#8220;<strong>a car my wife could easily use daily<\/strong>,&#8221; BMW touring models naturally became the best choice, and I went through three of them.<br \/>\nEspecially the BMW 525i touring (E61), which I owned twice in different colors (Titan Silver and Alpine White), fit our lifestyle perfectly.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"style4b\">\u2013 Switching to an SUV<\/h4>\n<p>When it came time to change cars again, we decided to consider SUVs other than the familiar BMW touring models and not minivans or luxury vans.<br \/>\nThe candidates were <strong>Porsche Cayenne (957), BMW X5 MB, Mercedes-Benz ML350, Audi Q5, and Lexus RX<\/strong>.<br \/>\nWe test-drove all, but the Cayenne was initially ruled out because &#8220;<strong>my wife couldn\u2019t drive such a big car<\/strong>,&#8221; and the rear seats of the then Cayenne were far from relaxing.<br \/>\nAfter much deliberation and repeated test drives, the new Cayenne (958) was announced.<br \/>\nTorn between &#8220;<strong>I want it vs. is it beyond my means?<\/strong>,&#8221; I struggled, but with the revised standard specs and improved rear seats, the Cayenne became the target.<br \/>\nThe problem was the car\u2019s size\u2026<br \/>\nWith the excuse of &#8220;<strong>a reward for my hard work and my first and last luxury!<\/strong>&#8221; and on the condition that the family would buy a VW POLO for everyday use, I decided to purchase my dream Porsche.<br \/>\nSince it was my &#8220;first and last luxury,&#8221; I chose a custom order rather than a dealer-ordered car.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"style4b\">\u2013 The charm of the Cayenne<\/h4>\n<p>Having finally gotten my Porsche, <strong>the moment the Cayenne was delivered and I drove it, I was captivated by the Porsche Cayenne.<\/strong> The ease of driving that belies its size, the reassuring handling and brakes\u2026 truly Porsche.<br \/>\nWhat was supposed to be a &#8220;<strong>first and last luxury<\/strong>&#8221; turned into a full five years of Cayenne life, and I was so hooked that I ended up switching to the new Cayenne (laughs).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-11269\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_2526-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"style4b\">\u2013 Why choose the Cayenne among Porsches?<\/h4>\n<p>When I first bought the Cayenne, the conditions were &#8220;<strong>the whole family of four could ride comfortably<\/strong>&#8221; and &#8220;<strong>my wife could drive it frequently<\/strong>,&#8221; so the Cayenne was the only choice.<span style=\"font-size: 8pt;\"> (At that time, the Macan had just been announced)<\/span><br \/>\nFor this upgrade, I seriously considered the 718 Cayman, 971 Panamera, used 911, and the more manageable Macan S, but decided to save the 911 and Cayman for &#8220;<strong>a reward after working even harder<\/strong>,&#8221; and chose the new Cayenne.<br \/>\nI also compared other SUVs like <strong>Mercedes-Benz GLC, Lexus RX, BMW X5\/X6, and Maserati Levante<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"style4b\">\u2013 The deciding factor for the Cayenne<\/h4>\n<p>The key was the &#8220;<strong>major evolution from the 958 Cayenne<\/strong>.&#8221; I test-drove the new Cayenne S first and was instantly captivated by &#8220;<strong>how smooth and powerful the S is!<\/strong>&#8220;<br \/>\nHowever, the price difference between the base and S was about 2 million yen!<br \/>\nI agonized over &#8220;<strong>limiting options and going with a bare S\u2026?<\/strong>&#8220;<br \/>\nBut when I test-drove the base Cayenne the following week, I was amazed by its refined driving, improved usability of the instrument panel and PCM, and the upscale feel, thinking &#8220;<strong>the changes over these five years are incredible!! Even the base model offers this level of equipment and comfort!<\/strong>&#8221; So I decided to buy the base model.<br \/>\nThough the price also jumped quite a bit (laughs\/sweat).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-11270\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/\u30a4\u30f3\u30c6\u30ea\uff11-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"style3a\">2) Options \/ Specifications<\/h3>\n<p>The new Cayenne comes with extensive safety and standard equipment, so <span style=\"font-size: 8pt;\">(and a significant price increase)<\/span> the approach to options has changed.<span style=\"font-size: 8pt;\"> (\u25cb = selected, \u00d7 = not selected or not available)<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Main Options<\/td>\n<td>958<\/td>\n<td>New Model<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Leather Interior<\/td>\n<td>\u00d7<\/td>\n<td>\u25cb<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Porsche Entry &#038; Drive<\/td>\n<td>\u00d7<\/td>\n<td>\u25cb<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Multifunction<\/td>\n<td>\u25cb<\/td>\n<td>Standard<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Seat Heater<\/td>\n<td>Front<\/td>\n<td>Front &#038; Rear<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Seat Ventilation<\/td>\n<td>\u00d7<\/td>\n<td>Front<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Servotronic<\/td>\n<td>\u25cb<\/td>\n<td>\u25cb<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Automatic Tailgate<\/td>\n<td>\u25cb<\/td>\n<td>Standard<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Color Crest Wheels<\/td>\n<td>\u00d7<\/td>\n<td>\u25cb<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Privacy Glass<\/td>\n<td>\u25cb<\/td>\n<td>\u25cb<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Park Assist Camera<\/td>\n<td>\u25cb<\/td>\n<td>Standard<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>PDLS LED Matrix Headlights<\/td>\n<td>\u25cb<\/td>\n<td>\u25cb<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>14-way Seats &#038; Memory<\/td>\n<td>\u25cb<\/td>\n<td>\u25cb<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>BOSE Sound System<\/td>\n<td>\u25cb<\/td>\n<td>\u25cb<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Comfort Lighting<\/td>\n<td>\u25cb<\/td>\n<td>\u00d7<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Lane Change Assist<\/td>\n<td>\u00d7<\/td>\n<td>Standard<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Lane Keep Assist<\/td>\n<td>\u00d7<\/td>\n<td>\u25cb<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h4 class=\"style4b\">[Options I\u2019m Satisfied With]<\/h4>\n<h5 class=\"style5a\">1. Porsche Entry &#038; Drive<\/h5>\n<p>Nowadays, this is standard on many cars, but having experienced its convenience on our sub car, the Mercedes-Benz GLA, I chose it without hesitation. <strong>Not having to take the key out of my bag every time is extremely comfortable.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"style5a\">2. Seat Heater<\/h5>\n<p>In the 958, I only had front seat heaters, which were very comfortable in winter. However, I felt &#8220;<strong>sorry for those riding in the rear seats<\/strong>&#8221; and since it was an option I couldn\u2019t give up, I decided to have heaters front and rear this time without hesitation.<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"style5a\">3. Seat Ventilation<\/h5>\n<p>Though it\u2019s the perfect option for someone like me who sweats a lot, I avoided it last time calling it a luxury. But after riding in a test car equipped with seat ventilation, I immediately recognized its effectiveness and decided to get it.<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"style5a\">4. BOSE Sound System<\/h5>\n<p>In the 958, due to compatibility with the Clarion navigation, it didn\u2019t perform to its full potential, but <strong>the new Cayenne\u2019s subwoofer shape has changed, and the sound quality has improved dramatically.<\/strong> For a music lover like me, &#8220;<strong>listening to my favorite tunes while cruising<\/strong>&#8221; is the ultimate relaxation time.<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"style5a\">5. Lane Keep Assist<\/h5>\n<p>My eyesight has recently declined and my reaction speed has slowed\u2026 I appreciate the peace of mind from the dual support of standard Lane Change Assist and Lane Keep Assist.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"style4b\">[Options I Chose After Much Deliberation]<\/h4>\n<h5 class=\"style5a\">Leather Interior<\/h5>\n<p>Not just Porsche, but many recent European cars show a &#8220;<strong>cost-cutting feel in plastic quality and grain processing<\/strong>&#8221; that I find beyond acceptable. Though the leather interior option was expensive, I chose it after much thought.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-11273\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/\u30a4\u30f3\u30c6\u30ea\uff12-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"style4b\">[Options I Decided Against After Much Deliberation]<\/h4>\n<h5 class=\"style5a\">1. Sunroof<\/h5>\n<p>I had sunroofs on previous BMWs and the Mercedes-Benz GLA, but I usually listen to music while driving and rarely open it. Also, the Cayenne offers ample head clearance even for my 180 cm height, and considering resale value, I skipped it on both the 958 and new Cayenne.<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"style5a\">2. Ambient Lighting<\/h5>\n<p>Though it\u2019s fun to choose various colors, the budget went instead to rear side airbags.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"style4b\">[Options I Didn\u2019t Consider at All]<\/h4>\n<h5 class=\"style5a\">1. Sport Chrono Package<\/h5>\n<p>The standard setup already offers plenty of driving pleasure, and I find no benefit for an SUV, so I always skip it.<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"style5a\">2. Air Suspension<\/h5>\n<p>I had a tough experience with air suspension on a previous BMW. Though I enjoyed its benefits on a test car, it was not under consideration.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"style4b\">[Other Equipment]<\/h4>\n<h5 class=\"style5a\">TV Tuner<\/h5>\n<p>The previous Cayenne offered this expensive option, but <strong>the new Cayenne\u2019s PCM no longer has AUX input and doesn\u2019t offer it.<\/strong> After much thought, I had the newly released \u201cNavi-O-kun\u201d navigation system installed by the dealer, but since I rarely watch TV without it, it turned out to be an expensive option with little use.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-11274\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_2525-800x559.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"559\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"style3a\">3) Delivery Process<\/h3>\n<p><strong>\u30fbMay 2018<\/strong><br \/>\nAt the preview event, I confirmed the actual car and obtained the official Japanese catalog, started checking detailed equipment and options, and estimated the total price using the configurator.<br \/>\n<strong>\u30fbJuly 2018<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen test cars were introduced in July, I compared the Cayenne and Cayenne S, spending days scrutinizing catalogs and total estimates.<br \/>\n<strong>\u30fbAugust 2018<\/strong><br \/>\nI was told the order deadline for production slots that could replace the 958 before its second inspection, made my decision, and placed the order.<br \/>\n<strong>\u30fbNovember 2018<\/strong><br \/>\nAfter securing the production slot, I distracted myself by getting competing quotes on whether to trade in the 958 at the dealer or sell it to a buyer (laughs).<br \/>\n<strong>\u30fbFebruary 2019<\/strong><br \/>\nDue to the Christmas season and other events in Europe, work slowed from late November to year-end, slightly delaying unloading at Toyohashi, but the car was safely delivered in February.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"style3a\">4) Dealer Experience<\/h3>\n<p>I have dealt with various dealers, but except for some manufacturer-owned stores, franchise dealers seem heavily influenced by their parent companies.<br \/>\nThe Porsche Center I use offers a <strong>pleasant balance\u2014not too dry or wet\u2014in their approach, which feels very comfortable.<\/strong><br \/>\nI dislike the typical luxury car dealer attitude of prioritizing customers or regulars. I prefer &#8220;<strong>a relationship of equals with solid support<\/strong>,&#8221; and I have no complaints about the current Porsche Center, sales reps, or service staff. They even accommodate small requests, for which I\u2019m grateful.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"style3a\">5) Porsche Performance as Experienced<\/h3>\n<h4 class=\"style4b\">\u2460 Engine<\/h4>\n<p>Compared to the 958\u2019s 3.6 V6 engine, it is <strong>overwhelmingly quieter and smoother at idle.<\/strong> Also, the sluggish feeling typical of the 958 V6 during low-speed acceleration is gone, making everything feel <strong>milder and smoother.<\/strong><br \/>\nThis is likely due to weight reduction and the engine\u2019s change from 3.6 V6 to 3.0 V6 turbo, improving the balance between engine and body.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-11271\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/\u30a8\u30f3\u30b7\u3099\u30f3-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"style4b\">\u2461 Tiptronic<\/h4>\n<p>I think it\u2019s because the shift program isn\u2019t fully adapted yet, but the creep speed is faster, sometimes making the body lurch forward unexpectedly, and <strong>the shift shock when restarting from idle stop is quite noticeable.<\/strong><br \/>\nI hope it will smooth out as the mileage increases.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"style4b\">\u2462 Handling \/ Brakes<\/h4>\n<p>To aid turning such a large body, previous cars had active steering (BMW) and Porsche equips Servotronic as standard. The new Cayenne seems to have a wide braking range, and on the Metropolitan Expressway, small steering inputs sometimes caused unexpectedly large reactions.<br \/>\n<strong>Perhaps Power Steering Plus wasn\u2019t necessary.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"style4b\">\u2463 Fuel Economy<\/h4>\n<p class=\"well2\">City driving: 5.5\u20137.0 km\/L <span style=\"font-size: 8pt;\">(mostly short trips)<\/span><br \/>\nHighway: 9.5\u201311.0 km\/L<\/p>\n<p>Still a gas guzzler (laughs).<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"style4b\">\u2464 Ride Comfort and Feel<\/h4>\n<p>Right after delivery, on the way home, I immediately thought, &#8220;<strong>I want to drive far away just like this!<\/strong>&#8221; This was the first time in about 30 years of driving that I felt this way. It\u2019s such a comfortable car that also brings driving pleasure!<br \/>\nAlso, <strong>one of the Cayenne\u2019s great points is its seats.<\/strong> The 14-way seats make it easy to find and set the best comfortable position with good visibility.<br \/>\nThe seat design supports a moderate firmness suitable even for my back pain and prevents awkward postures\u2026 truly the best seats.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"style4b\">\u2465 Family\u2019s Reaction<\/h4>\n<p>My family, who are not interested in cars at all, immediately commented, <strong>&#8220;This car\u2019s ride is really comfortable.&#8221;<\/strong> As summer approaches and the interior heats up, the seat ventilation will surely prove its worth.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"style4b\">\u2466 Favorite Points<\/h4>\n<p>1. The engine is mild yet powerful with luxury car-level quietness.<br \/>\n2. The ride comfort makes you want to drive long distances, with stable straight-line performance and reliable brakes.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"style3a\">6) Must-Have Options for Future Porsche Purchases<\/h3>\n<p>\u2460 14-way seats<br \/>\n\u2461 Seat heaters and seat ventilation<br \/>\n\u2462 Various safety features<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"style3a\">7) Concerns<\/h3>\n<h4 class=\"style4b\">1. Car Size<\/h4>\n<p>Though I struggled with the 958, the even wider 1983 mm body is honestly inconvenient.<br \/>\nThe biggest issue is parking lots when out and about.<br \/>\nFlat coin parking lots usually allow up to 1900 mm width, so depending on the space between cars, parking is impossible. I always research parking lots in advance and choose flat lots with ample space or newer large facilities with wider parking.<br \/>\nOf course, I\u2019m mindful of \u201ctonarars\u201d (cars parking too close) too (laughs).<br \/>\nSometimes I go out in the GLA to scout parking, then come back in the Cayenne for subsequent visits.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-11272\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_2528-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"style4b\">2. PCM and Porsche Connect<\/h4>\n<p>Switching between iPhone Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, and Porsche Connect via Wi-Fi is cumbersome. Even I, a digitally savvy middle-aged man, find it annoying, so I imagine older users would struggle.<br \/>\nAlso, <strong>software stability improvements are needed.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"style4b\">3. Importer (Porsche Japan) Stance<\/h4>\n<p>More than a concern, this is something I hope for in the future.
