Welcome back to Snowy Park City. It is a snowy wintery day in Park City and I realized that it is overdue for an update on our family car.

This is our 2017 Portia Cayenne S E hybrid Platinum Edition. It is all of those things and we

bought it all the way back at the end of February. We've had it for about nine

months already and we've put about 13 plus thousand miles on it.

We bought it with 77,000 miles.

It has almost 91,000 right now, which I'm a little astonished because neither my wife or I have really like major commutes.

She commutes some, but I cannot believe we put that much mileage on this already.

Now part of that is we took a monster epic family road trip 2200 miles shortly after we got it.

We went from our area in the Salt Lake area, Salt Flats, San Francisco, Pacific Coast Highway, which was gorgeous and surprisingly fun when

this car was put into Sport Plus Mode, all the way down to Los Angeles to, of course, you gotta do

Disneyland, right?

And back up through Vegas to home.

2,200 miles, the three of us and our stuff.

Our son who's getting big was plenty comfortable in the back.

We had all of our stuff in this and no matter what the driving was, whether it was cruising, where I could put it on super soft mode,

or it was hardcore where we were down on Pacific Coast Highway

and I was driving as hard as I could

in something that weighs 5,400 pounds,

this was kind of a revelation.

We bought this in February for $37,000.

It's about a $90,000 MSRP vehicle,

so I'm pretty pleased with what we got it for.
