What’s the Difference Between the Porsche 911 Cabriolet and Boxster?

Comparing the 991.1 Carrera S Cabriolet and the 981 Boxster GTS If you’ve ever considered buying a Porsche convertible, you’ve probably asked yourself this question at least once: “What’s the difference between the 911 Cabriolet and the Boxster?” I used to wonder about this a lot myself. I understand the difference between a 4-seater and a 2-seater, and I get the difference between RR and MR layouts. But how do they differ in terms of...

Why My Husband Is Interested in the Base 718 Cayman

Why He’s Interested in the Base 718 Cayman My husband has been saying for months, “I really think the base 718 Cayman is awesome. I want one~” while constantly browsing Car Sensor. After sharing these thoughts on Twitter and briefly mentioning them on my blog, a 718 Cayman owner reached out with this question: Since purchasing a used 718 Cayman (MY2017) last October, I’ve become completely hooked on Porsche. Your husband seems interested in the...

Attending the Hiruzen MT Yesterday, I wrote an article about touring the Okayama Wide-Area Farm Road (link here), and today I want to share about the Hiruzen MT (Meeting) I joined along the way. After fully enjoying the wide-area farm road, I headed north toward Hiruzen. I avoided the highway and took Route 313 north, then switched to Route 482 and Prefectural Route 114. After a while, a huge drive-in-like facility with a large Ferris...

Touring in the Porsche 911 (992)! Cruising Okayama’s Wide-Area Farm Roads!

Heading to Okayama’s Wide-Area Farm Roads It’s been almost a year since I bought the 992, but surprisingly, I haven’t really gone on a proper solo touring trip yet. I’ve gone to Fuji Speedway with my family and joined group tours with Porsche friends, so most of my drives have involved multiple people. I haven’t really done much solo touring. This time, I finally took out the 992 to join the Hiruzen MT (Meeting) held...

Replacing the Rear Spoiler Wall (Bellows) on a Porsche 911 (Air-Cooled 964)

The hot days continue, but I’m still frequently driving my 964. Since it has Tiptronic, it’s easy to drive both around town and for commuting, making it arguably the best air-cooled Porsche for everyday use. One day, I casually lifted the rear spoiler to take a look and found that the plastic bellows (accordion-style) part had deteriorated and developed holes. While it doesn’t directly affect driving performance, it looks bad from behind and isn’t ideal...

What Every Porsche Driver Who Loves Driving Always Checks Before a Touring Trip

My Husband’s Porsche Touring My husband, who is well-known to love cars and driving, always does one thing before going on a touring trip. That is to thoroughly research the route beforehand. While route research before a tour might sound obvious, my husband’s preparation is exceptionally detailed. This is because it’s not just about getting to the destination quickly, but about choosing the best roads where he can enjoy driving his Porsche to the fullest....

[Test Drive Report] Macan GTS – Understanding the Differences Between Early and Later Models

My husband had the opportunity to test drive the Porsche Macan GTS and wrote up his impressions. Please take a look if you’re interested. Recently, the facelifted Macan model was announced, and around the same time, we had the chance to test drive the later version of the Macan GTS (which will eventually be called the mid-cycle model). This time, I’d like to focus on comparing it with the earlier Turbo model I had driven...
