The other day, I drove my husband's air-cooled Porsche 911 (964 type) for the first time in a year, so I would like to write about that impression.
Dozens of times from my husband"Why don't you ride 964?"I was told that, but I didn't want to get on.
The reason is that "964 is hard to driveBecause there was an image that
I knew that the 964's performance was amazing and that it would run so well that I couldn't believe it was a Porsche made 30 years ago.
However, there is of course no electronic control that is installed in modern Porsche, the steering is heavy, it is difficult to drive on a mountain pass such as the Ashi Driveway, and if you turn too slowly at an intersection, you will not be able to turn...
Such an impression was strong, how much my husband said, "Since the 964 has been regularly maintained, it has become much better than after deliveryEven though I said that, I didn't feel like riding.
However, the other day, I had an errand that I had to ride on the 964, and I was allowed to ride for the first time in a while ...
It was really good (laughs).
As before "old but good car”I felt that the car was clearly rejuvenated.
There is no need to worry about driving an old car at all, and the running is relaxed,If it was a new car back then, I'm sure it would have looked like this.A feeling that makes you feel.
It's solid, the car has a weight to it, and it has the feeling of grounding that I love, but the steering is very light and doesn't feel heavy. (this is,The effect of switching to a lithium-ion battery is great.it seems)
When the traffic light turns green and you step on it a little, you can enjoy a light and pleasant acceleration. again,Atmosphere that is not just fast, but still has latent powerI thought it was good too.
I've never seen a 964 "So good!"I felt that the 964 is a wonderful car, but more than that, my husbandThis is because we are diligently doing maintenance such as regular preventive maintenance and replacing parts that have deteriorated over time.I think the reason is also big.
Even with the same 964,When I bought a car that hadn't been well cared for, it felt completely different.I often hear that.
My 964 doesn't seem to have any major problems even five years after it was delivered. (Overhaul level, etc.) However, small problems such as the engine belt breaking or making a slight noise often occur.
And my husband seems a little happy at that time,
A littleB-ForceI'm coming
Saying that, I go to my favorite shop to see 964.
Rather than being happy about the inconvenience,Every time I fix it, the running improves, I feel rejuvenated, and I'm happy that the 964 is getting closer to the new car at that time.Maybe.
For those who do not feel troublesome for such daily maintenance, I think that air-cooled Porsche is very good. (It is very impossible for me w)
Actually, right after I got on the 964 on this day, my carSWIFT SportI got on the Swiss Po, but I felt a little uneasy about the Swiss Po, which I loved so much and was very satisfied.
."that? Feeling so lightDid you? Acceleration is fast, but I still feel the difference from PorscheI ran while muttering something like this...
I don't think Porsche and Swisspo are to be compared, so I think that the comparison itself is different,Even the impression of Swisspo, which I loved so much and didn't have any complaints, changed greatly.It means that the air-cooled 911 was getting better. (However, as I continued to ride Swisspo, I returned to the feeling that it was good after all)
964, I want to see the occasion and ride again. Next time I would like to drive Ashi Driveway etc.
