I asked my husband what he thinks about the new Porsche 911 (992 model) six months after delivery.

Porsche sidekick feeling

Some time after our 911 Cabriolet (992) was delivered, my husband

The 992 is great.......and I may not even need a GT3 or Boxster. I may not need a GT3 or Boxster, regardless of price increase or value in the future.If I had to keep one of them, I would definitely keep the 992.

He said.

Porsche 911 Cabriolet (992)

A few months have passed since then, and my husband rides his beloved cars on a daily basis.

Recently, it has come full circle.I really enjoy the 964 (air-cooled Porsche 911) and the Boxster (981 Boxster GTS).I'm starting to think, "I feel like a great partner for a 964 or a Boxster.
The 992 is a very nice car with high performance, but it's too perfect and cyborg-like. It may not feel like a living thing....
He's also insanely fast on the track.And it was so stable on the circuit on a rainy day.The car is perfect for any situation, no stress on public roads, can be driven on mountain passes, and has great handling to say the least. Performance-wise, it is still outstanding.
But on the other hand.The "buddy" feeling is a little less than with other Porsches.I think so.
By the way, what about the GT3 Touring, there's no doubt it's super high performance, but it's a manual transmission.You won't be able to get on it in just a few minutes.I have an aura of "buddy" and a sense of intimidation. So, in that sense, I'm not so much a "buddy."It's like a "beloved horse" that you can't fully ride, but it feels like a living thing.Hey.
But when I drive the 992, I always say, "Wow, this car! I am always impressed when I drive a 992. I think that the 992 is an excellent car in any situation, regardless of its property value, if you think about its practicality.

He began to say things like, "I'm not a good person.

Well...it is true that the 992 is a great car, but it may be too wonderful and high-performance to have much room for human intervention.

Her husband continued.

When the 964 was running, I could hear the oil sloshing around, and I could feel the engine working.It feels like a great creature.No, it's not.
The 981 Boxster GTS also has a very nice sounding engine, and although the handling is more relaxed than the 992, it feels really good to be able to drive smoothly around the curves in Ashiu.
The sound from low speed is wonderful, the suspension is supple, and since mine is a manual transmission, I can control it myself.

And.

Cars are very deep. You can never tell from just one test drive.Even if you own the car, the ride quality of the car changes immediately after delivery and a few months after delivery.
Also, my sense of self changes as the months go by.
Thanks to you, I have been able to test drive many cars of people I know, and every time I get in one of your cars, I think, "I'm going to have a great time.What type of car am I looking for?I think it may change the way I feel about my car even more because I am reminded of the fact that I have a car that I love.

He said.

Which Porsche to keep?

Our family currently has six cars.However, my husband is thinking of reducing the number of his cars little by little. So far, we have increased the number of attractive cars, but it is indeed a waste to have six cars that we can't get through.Let's limit it to the number of vehicles that I can take care of (and give them a good ride on a regular basis).They think it is a good idea.

Nevertheless, what to leave behind and what to part with are not immediate decisions, and there is also the issue of timing. On top of that, my husband said, "I will definitely keep the 981. I also need a Cayenne that can fit my family of 5.He says.

I wonder if our family's car life will gradually become simpler from now on. However, my husband seems to still want a lot of cars these days, and he looks at the car sensor every day... (laughs)

    Hello Mina and husband!
    I am very interested in hearing about one round.
    I am currently driving a 964 and am wondering what to do next? I enjoy worrying about what to do next.
    Although I have strong feelings about the turbo model at one time, I'm wobbly every time I learn about the 992's basic performance.
    After coming across this blog, I decided to buy a model that I can drive on a daily basis and enjoy my Porsche to the fullest without worrying about resale. (It's an expensive toy, you have to play with it!)

      TARO.
      Hello.

      >I am currently driving a 964, what should I do next? I enjoy worrying about it.
      Lovely (laughs).

      >I have come to think that I would like to buy a model that I can drive everyday and enjoy Porsche as much as I can without worrying about resale (it's an expensive toy!). (It's an expensive toy, you have to play with it!)
      Thank you for saying so. (Is that right?!))
      I think that the happiest, most enjoyable, and most car-friendly experience is to buy a model that you can drive on a regular basis and ride it hard as your partner.

    I just can't be bothered!

    Why are the gloves for motorcycles?
    Is it spare because it got wet?

      I see! I don't think it probably has a very deep meaning.

    Hello, bio.
    In fact, there is a deeper meaning w
    It is difficult to find driving gloves for cars that are compatible with smartphone touch, and even if they are, they are often not sensitive enough, have a texture or design that you don't like, or have fingers that stick out in the first place.
    However, I like using this motorcycle robe made by RS TAICHI because it is more sensitive to phone touches and, perhaps because it is made for motorcycles, it is less slippery than the one for cars.

    I also have a 964 Carrera 2MT, an 84 930 Carrera, and a 981 Boxster 2.7MT, but I'm having a hard time letting any of them go. A while ago I also had a 991 early and late PDK, but it seemed too common and I sold it. I would like to keep the 3 cars I own now, but it is very hard to take care of even 3 cars.

      Oooh nice lineup... wow...!
      It's so nice...!
      But really, it's not easy to give them a proper ride.
      I think about the weather, the season, the timing, the destination, and so many other things.
      It is also difficult to give them an even ride ^^;
