I usually receive many messages on my blog and Twitter asking for advice on purchasing a car, and the other day, my husband received this kind of advice on his personal social networking site.
...currently drives a 718 Cayman GTS.
I'm considering switching to GT3 soon.
I would like to know what was good and bad about GT3.
And.
Every time I receive a consultation like this, I think to myself.I guess everyone wants to hear the real opinions of the owners who own them.I think that's what I'm trying to say. Test drive reviews by car critics are of course helpful, but many people would like to know what a few hours of test driving cannot tell them: how it feels to actually own it and use it on a daily basis, what problems it has, and so on.(Of course we want to know)
It's also why my husband frequents the Ashiu Driveway every week.Hear the owners' unorthodox opinions and impressions.I feel that this is greatly influenced by the fact that The other day, we also received a letter from theIt was interesting to hear from an owner who has owned both a bare-bones 992 and an S, how the two cars actually differ from each other in real life!He said.
So, I would like to summarize a little bit of how my husband responded to the questions you asked me at the beginning of this article.
first (of all)What I think about the GT3 is that it is quite different from regular models such as the CaymanI think it's a good thing. It's not impossible to use it for everyday (commuting, shopping, etc.), which is good at first, but eventually I think I'll get tired of it, get sick of it, and miss my Cayman.
This "tiring" is more than just a bad ride.I always feel forced to run in battle mode while listening to various gear noises and engine noises. I feel like I am forced to run in battle mode.The fatigue comes from the
The manual gear ratio is still not as good for city driving as the Boxster, and the PDK has no creep, so you have to be careful when stop-and-go. The PDK has no creep, so you have to be careful in stop-and-go traffic.
In fact, I've been driving nothing but GT3s lately, and I just happened to drive a Boxster the other day for the first time in a month.The Boxster felt insanely mild, the power feel was just right, and it was a lot of fun to ride with a sense of relief.
On the other hand.Great for winding roads, circuits, and flowing country roads.The It is not comparable to the regular model.
The car's precise handling, limitless turning ability, and tremendous engine response are just some of the features that make it a "must have" car.I knew it was GT3!"It seems to me.
So, if you think about driving a regular GT3 in Japan, it may not be fun on 80% of the roads and in 80% of the environments. But you can enjoy the best on the remaining 20% of roads. If these aspects are important to you, I recommend it.
incidentallyIf I were to keep only one car, I would keep the Boxster.I am not going to change the fact that the GT3 is very good, but I still feel that the GT3 is a car for special occasions (winding roads and circuits).(Just like a fine marbled steak every day is a sine qua non.)
This was the case.
In addition to the above, my husband had this to say.
The 911 is a sports car that can be driven for both daily use and on the track.If you're thinking of buying the GT3 as an extension of that high-end, high-power model, you should stop and think twice.I think. I think it's such a different character that I want to advise you to do so.
AMG models for Mercedes and M models for BMW are completely different from regular models in performance, but even so, they emphasize luxury and comfort to some extent, and I feel that they are an extension of daily use.
But.Porsche's GT series (except GTS) are not that sweet.At first I too thought that was about the extent of the difference, but was surprised to find that it wasn't at all.Cars that are more like racing cars.I think.
So I think that if you try to have everything in one GT3 car, there will come a time when you will miss the regular models. In fact I do, and sometimes I want to drive a 964 or Boxster.
But after a while, I miss the narcotic sensation of the GT3 and drive the GT3. So.Ideally, the GT3 is best as a second car on top of the regular model that was available.I think.
If you want to tame the GT3, I think you should consider buying it after knowing these things so you won't have any regrets later.
And. I see.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to message me on my blog. We look forward to your continued support of our blog, "A Porsche Came to Our Home".
