Apart from her professional accomplishments, Candice is also a car enthusiast who enjoys driving luxury vehicles. In this interview, she shares her experience owning a 2020 Porsche Cayenne GTS and how it matches her lifestyle.

When asked about her previous cars, Candice recalls owning a Seal Grey 911 Carrera convertible which she bought when she was 25. She loved that car but had to sell it when pregnant with her son as it wasn't going to be practical with a car seat. She also owned a Ferrari California before buying the Porsche Cayenne GTS.

Candice's interest in the Porsche Cayenne GTS was sparked by a friend who suggested that she should look at the model. Initially, she was in the market for a G wagon Mercedes, but when she saw the Cayenne GTS in the showroom, she asked if she could take it for a test drive. Despite the pause in car manufacturing due to COVID-19, Candice ordered the same car and had to wait five months before receiving it.

Candice explains that the Cayenne GTS fits her lifestyle perfectly, as she has dogs, horses, and other animals, a son, a busy real estate business and partner in Simon. She does a lot of driving and appreciates the different driving modes on the GTS, which makes it a dream to drive, especially on long journeys.

The Porsche Cayenne GTS is equipped with a 4.0-litre twinturbo V8 engine that produces 338 PS * of power and 620 Nm of torque. It has an eight-speed automatic transmission and can accelerate from 0-100km/h in just 4.5 seconds. The GTS also has a unique sound thanks to its sports exhaust system, which enhances the driving experience.

Candice says that she loves the luxury feel of the car and how easy it is to drive. She has been to the snow a few times with the car to Thredbo and Perisher as she and her son love to ski.

The Cayenne GTS drives like a dream on long trips, and Candice says that the V8 engine's sound gets right under her skin, and she can't help but smile.

When asked if there was another Porsche model that she had her eye on, Candice said that she would love to have a two

Porsche garage in the future. She would keep her Cayenne GTS and potentially look at a 911 in the dark grey, almost black colours that she likes. Candice also loves the leather and Alcantara combination on her Cayenne and would consider getting a new Porsche in the same interior specification.

Candice concludes by saying that the sales assistant Alan at Porsche Willoughby was great to deal with, and she had a great experience picking up her car from the luxury Dealership on Sydney’s North Shore. She also had the opportunity to attend the 70 North experience with Willoughby, a special private circuit that allows drivers to test their skills on a complex combination of corners. Candice had a great time driving the car on the track and even got to test drive one of the 911s that Willoughby had brought. She appreciated the passion and dedication of everyone involved in the event, from the technicians to the property owners.
