Test drive of the new Porsche 911 (992)! After all Porsche 911 is the best! !!

I went to see the full lineup of Porsche models

Weekends 5-6 October 2019,Porsche full lineup session 2019 fairWas held at each Porsche center, but right now I was interested in seeing all the "models other than 911", so I wanted to go somehow this time.

Having said that, it was a weekend when I had a lot of plans, so I thought it would be impossible to go, but I rounded up the various schedules as soon as possible and managed to slip into the Porsche Center. I was able to do it! it was good.

When it comes to Porsche, you will be more active ^^

See Porsche other than 911

This time, because I was looking for a family car that can accommodate 5 family members, I wanted to see "Macan Cayenne Panamera", and for another purpose, I also want an MT car, so "Cayman" I wanted to see "Boxster" (I think this is a used car even if I buy it).

Ah, when I write this, it looks like I'm ready to buy it, but it's not so easy ... Anyway, I've been having a hard time choosing a car recently ^^

4 + 1 seat option for Panamera

The first thing that surprised me was Panamera.

Even if it's not Sports Turismo, "4 + 1 seats" are now available in Japan (option price: 139,537 yen). I do not know about this.

Well, can Panamera be able to seat 5 people without using Sports Turismo (wagon)? !!

In that case, it will be applicable to the search for a family car in my home, which is a prerequisite for being able to ride 5 people, so I wonder if the possibility of making Panamera a family car has increased? I think.

However,When I had a chance to drive Panamera a little beforeI was able to drive without any resistance, but to be honest, "I can move forward, but I can't park this big car in the back of a parking lot in Tokyo or parallel park it!" I was thinking.

When I tell the sales person who was showing Panamera at this time, he says "It's okay, I can do it ~" "I will teach parking practice ~!" (← half a joke ^ ^) However, I said "No, I can't do it!" And the story didn't move forward. excuse me….

I saw various things, and after confirming what I wanted to see for each model and what I actually felt when riding, it was just before I decided to go home.

New Porsche 911 test drive

The new Porsche 911 992 is outside as a test drive, so I thought, "Then, let's take a look at the 992 and then go home."

Still, I love the 991.2 Carrera I currently own so much that I can't replace it with a 992.

For that reason, I don't plan to buy the 992 right away, so I'm sorry to have taken the salesman's time and the 992's time, so I put up with it and refrained from taking a test drive ... ..

This time as well, I said, "If you can show me just a little bit, that's fine! You don't have to test drive." But! !! !!

Already on this day, when I was at the Porsche Center, no one seemed to have made a test drive reservation or was waiting, and the salesman said, "(Because I can ride now) by all means !!" Because he said that, in a hurry ...

Wow! Suddenly, I tried the 992 on a test drive ~! !! !! I'm too happy ~ ^^ Thank you! !! I'm really happy. I'm glad I managed to go to the Porsche Center on this day (tears).

It was this new 911 Miami Blue Carrera S that I got on. It's really cool! pretty!

I'm impressed. I'm happy. … Well, did you write it earlier ^^ No, I'm too happy.

As a result of riding ... Porsche 911 is the best after all! Mmm, the best! !! !! After all it is the best. (Sorry, love is completely blind. My opinion is not helpful (laughs)).

First of all, this is the ignition key.

I was surprised at how small it was. … So, the first impression that I got on the 992 for the first time, eh, there? It's like that (laughs).

No, but I was surprised that it was really much smaller than the 991.2 one.

I had seen this ignition key on the actual 992 car before, but at that time I only "seen" it, so I actually noticed this smallness only when I touched it.

However, it is about the same as the new Panamera. But for me, who only knows 991.2, I thought it was "small!" For a man with big hands, I think he feels smaller.

Of course, that doesn't mean anything. It just says "it's getting smaller!" ^^

Even so, you'll be surprised from the very first moment of "starting the engine", 992-san! (← already excited (laughs))

Difference in feeling between the late Porsche 991 and the Porsche 992?

By the way, this time I just ran in a slightly crowded city, so I didn't really step into it, but what I thought about when I ran in the city ...

"Porsche 991.2 Carrera is betterJust step on it a little! The feeling of running is strong, 992 feels that the accelerator is a little heavier than 991.2 (it feels like stepping firmly) "

Is not it.

... and my husband also said, "I don't know what you're talking about" (laughs). No, what is it? I'm not denying that I don't want you to misunderstand me at all.

It's a very good car, and when you step on it, it responds perfectly and runs steadily. But 991.2 feels lighter than that ... I wonder. In other words, does the 992 "do not feel" more turbo?

After driving the late 991 with turbo, I drove the NA GT3I felt "heavy"A feeling similar to that of.

Of course, the car isn't really heavy, and there is a feeling that you have to step on the accelerator more properly, but if you step on it properly, it will run at a very beautiful acceleration. Hmm ... Ugh.

Well, this is my complete sensualism, so please say "What?" (Laughs).

If there is a person who can compare the latter half of 991 and 992 and thinks "Oh, I can understand it somehow", well, I'm sure that person and I have similar feelings (what is that? , 911 doesn't matter (laughs)).

Now, the display of some speeds is small ~

And ... what surprised me?

The shift knobI knew it was a small shaverBut not only is the shaver itself smaller, but the information displayed on this instrument is also smaller! That is.

This is ↓

I understand?

First of all, the display of whether the car is "R", "N" or "D" and the numerical display showing the current speed while driving are small ... (laughs).

For me, who has bad eyesight, I would say, "Well, are you in R now? Are you in properly?"

Furthermore, I have a habit of always seeing what speed the current shift is before touching the paddle while driving, but when I suddenly looked at the instrument, "Where ?! What speed is it now ?!" I was confused.

This is the yellow circle. Isn't it small? ?? ??

picture? I can't see this because I'm an aunt? … That ’s true.

If you're young, the smallness of these letters doesn't matter ... (I don't have presbyopia, I don't have presbyopia yet ^^ !!! Excuse (laughs)).

By the way, the display of some speeds of the late 991 model is like this. Isn't it easy to understand ^^? Is it a matter of familiarity?

Left and right of Porsche 992, 5 meters can not be seen

Also, the traditional Porsche 911 5-unit meter.

Rather than the change that all but the one in the middle became digital, "When I was sitting in the driver's seat and driving, the instruments on the right and left ends were brilliantly worn on the steering wheel and I couldn't really see them at all." I was surprised at that (laughs).

Well, I can see it if I take a look at it ... I'm sure it's harder to see than 991.2.

Already, when you look at the position sitting in the driver's seat, the left and right instruments are hidden in the steering wheel so that you can think "I dared to hide it with the steering wheel, right?" ^ ^

After that, I felt that the sound of the winker was a little cheaper than 991.2 (due to my mind?), And the difference when switching to "normal → sports mode" was smaller than 991.2. (Sports Plus is completely different, obviously different).

No, of course, I'm not saying it's worse than it used to be. 992 is amazing.

However, I felt that 991.2 had a different degree of motivation for the 911, asking "Okay! Would you like to go?" When switching to more sports mode.

I'm sure that's because the 992 is closer to sports mode even when it's normal, or something like that? ?? How is it?

No, I really turned the sports exhaust on and off, and it was impossible to fully open it because it was in the city, but in just a few seconds, I felt the acceleration feeling by stepping on about 60 to 70%. It was a lot of fun!

After all, even if it becomes 992, "Porsche 911 is Porsche 911".

When I got into the driver's seat, I got the impression that various parts were really modern, which made me think that it was necessary to return to the classics in various parts, thereby making it a very good "timeless machine". I felt it was well-balanced.

It was really nice, 992.

I want to fully open the solid step! !! !! !! !! I want to hear the sound at that time! !! Oh, the real intention again. This feeling that I can't hide anymore (laughs).

And, as it may be obvious, if you are a regular Porsche 911 rider, you can ride it normally without any problems or resistance. Even I was able to ride without any resistance.

No, isn't it okay to take it home as it is? I can think of it.

Ah. No, of course, the 992 was the best car, but my love for 991.2 Carrera is still awake, so I'll take my beloved Black Carrera home ^^

But it's also true that I can't forget 992.

What should I do.

I love the black carrera that is with me to death, and even though I love it so much that it's painful, I'm still fascinated by the newly appearing 992 ...

I'm really busy with feelings of guilt towards Mr. Kuro Carrera and mysterious feelings, "This is an affair." What!

Test drive Panamera and try parking

After testing the Porsche 992, I will return to the original purpose of coming to the Porsche Center this time, "Family car search".

As soon as I get rid of my mind, I'm fascinated by 911. I'm no good ^^ This time I decided to "see other than 911!"

so!

I told the sales person, "Panamera had a chance to drive a little before, but I can move forward, but I can never park Panamera in the back in the parking lot in Tokyo!" is.

But ... in the flow of the story ... I decided to try a little test drive, and even try "parking" in the back.

When I parked while looking at the screen such as the back monitor displayed on the screen inside the Porsche car, I managed to stop ^ ^

After that, after parking and getting off Panamera, when I talked with two sales people, he said "Panamera was parked, isn't it! It's okay! I can do it!" Then you can park Panamera in the back at the parking lot in Tokyo! "

No, the parking I tried this time is here ↓ There is nothing on the left and right, and it would be bad if I could not park here (laugh).

Hahahahaha. No, of course, the sales people knew and dared to say it, but it was interesting (laughs).

No, for the fact that I really went to see Panamera etc., I was able to experience parking in the back, and even a test drive of 992 that I had never thought about, it was amazing. I was happy.

Also, it was a lot of fun to talk with the sales people not only about Porsche but also about various things. Thank you to everyone at the Porsche Center ^ ^

Anyway, in conclusion ...

After all Porsche 911 is the best! It is the best even if it becomes 992. It's so cute, it's so cool, it runs great, it doesn't have any problem in size, and Porsche 911 is the best! It became.

Thank you ~ ^^
