Test Drive of the New Supra (6MT)｜How Did a Porsche Owner Feel?

Toyota Supra When I think of the Supra, the A80 model (1993-2002) — the ’80s Supra immediately comes to mind. Its larger body and drastically changed design from the previous generation divided opinions, but I really liked it. I especially admired the rear styling, the taillight design, and the enveloping driver’s seat. That Supra was redesigned in 2019. When I first saw the design in the announcement, I was disappointed, and I was surprised that...

Selling My Beloved Suzuki Swift Sport!

What to Do with the Swift Sport? Last year, I ordered a Porsche 911, which brought up the question: “Should I keep my current beloved car, the Suzuki Swift Sport, or sell it?” The Swift Sport came to our home in October two years ago. I’ve been driving it almost every day and truly love it, so until the end of last year, I had planned to hold on to it for a while. Compact,...

Test Drive Report: New Mercedes-AMG SL43｜Why Name It “SL”?

The other day, my younger brother bought the new Mercedes-AMG SL43 (R232 model). When it comes to the SL, it’s a model I personally love as well—one of the three cars (911, SL, M3) I dreamed of owning when I was younger. In fact, I used to drive an R129 SL500, and I also once owned the R171 SLK350, which is like the little brother of the SL. I truly love the SL among all...

The Porsche 911 I Recently Ordered: Crayon Body Color!

911 Body Color The other day, I wrote an article about signing the contract for my 911. Since I had written from the very start of this blog that “my goal was to someday buy a Porsche with my own money,” I received many messages from readers. Some long-time readers even said, “I’m so happy, it feels like it’s my own news!” I’m truly grateful for everyone’s warm support. Thank you so much. I can’t...

Test Drive Report: Mercedes-AMG GLA35｜How It Differs from Regular Models and the GLB

Our blog’s test driver, TAKURO-san, recently bought a Mercedes-AMG GLA35 at the end of the year, so right at the start of the new year, I got a chance to see it up close. Mercedes-AMG GLA35 Speaking of the current GLA, my younger brother owns a GLA200d 4MATIC, and I’ve driven it a few times. Also, I bought the sibling model, the GLB200d 4MATIC, last year, so I want to report on the differences between...

Suzuki Swift Sport! The Best Value Car That Ignites Your Desire to Drive More!

My Beloved Swift Sport My Swift Sport was delivered in October two years ago. Since then, I’ve driven it in various situations—around town, on mountain roads like the Royu Driveway, on highways… sometimes with my family of five, sometimes alone. I remember once, right after I drove my husband’s 911 (964 model), getting back into the Swift Sport and thinking, “It’s not fair to compare, but the 964’s solid feel and suspension are incredible. Compared...
