Porsche Boxster

Porsche Boxster GTS (981) of interest.

About the 981 Boxster GTS

981 Boxster GTS in my home.I've written several articles praising the Boxster.But today, I would like to write about what I am interested in the Boxster GTS.

Heating is slow to start working.

First of all, I want to say.The heating system is very slow.It is. When I ride on a cold winter day, the heater does not work for about 20 minutes after starting the engine. So on really cold days, I turn on the seat heater as soon as possible to get by for a while.

The other day, I headed out in my Boxster to swap my Panamera, which is parked a short distance from my house, for the Boxster in my parking lot.We finally arrived at the parking lot just as the heat was starting to kick in. w

Of course, once it starts working, it gets warm without any problem, so it is perfectly fine to open the car from there, but it is slow to start working. Sometimes, after riding in a BoxsterNissan Note NISMO SWhen I ride in the "Mere Old Man," I am so impressed with how fast the heating system works.

On the other hand, as for our 911 GT3 (991.2) and Panamera Turbo (971), I don't think the heating is particularly slow.(though probably slower than domestic cars)I think this is true regarding the 981 Boxster GTS. My husband has been working on this point for a while now.

Unlike other grades, the GTS has an additional radiator in the center of the front, which may have an effect.Anyway, the water temperature, especially the oil temperature, does not warm up easily.Well, I think the temperature is stable on a circuit or something, but on a regular road, the heater doesn't come on well for about 15 to 20 minutes in winter.
I think it's one of the slowest Porsche models in terms of heating.

He said. I see.

I can't fold down the seat.

This is not so much the Boxster as it is a two-seater car, but it's just the way it is.The back of the seat cannot be folded down.It is fine when driving normally, but when, for example, you go into a convenience store and take a short rest in the car, you cannot fold down the seat to relax, and must always sit in an upright position.

Naturally, the passenger seat could not be folded down, so the wife riding in the passenger seat said, "I'm sorry.I'd like to ride slowly with the seat folded down a bit.It may be difficult for the passenger to ride in the passenger seat when driving long distances, since it is not possible to do so even if you think "I'll be able to do that.

Difficult to see diagonally backwards

I've been riding with the holo tucked in.Diagonal rear visibility is very poor.My Boxster is left-hand drive, but when I get off the IC on the highway and merge into the right lane, or when I change lanes, I am very scared because I can hardly see it visually.

Sure, you can see some of it in the rearview mirror, butI still want to check visually as well, so not being able to do so is a bit inconvenient.Well, maybe sports cars in general are like that compared to ordinary cars...

However, the part that is a window in the Cayman is a hood in the Boxster, so I guess the Boxster is still quite difficult to see.

It's hopelessly difficult to see the back of a Boxster at an angle. I've had many near misses myself. I can see them when the roof is open, so it's not a problem.I lean over a little to the passenger side to see when merging if it's closed. lane change assist is available as an option from 718.I think it is good to have it on, especially in the case of the Boxster, because of the
By the way, I'll tell you what else is wrong with it.Sometimes you can hear a squeaking noise, or slight noise, coming from the interior.Nah. I can hear a chirping now and then from around the base of the hood on the left rear.
If you are nervous or accustomed to the interior quality of domestic luxury cars, you may be surprised to find that theWhy does it sound like such an expensive Porsche?You might think, 'Well, Porsche is often a manufacturer with a lot of interior noise. Well, Porsche is often a manufacturer of interior noises. I think both the Panamera and the GT3 make some kind of small noise if you are aware of it.(I don't care about it at all.)

He said.

If you drive a Porsche while accustomed to the comfortable equipment of a domestic car, there may be quite a few areas where you feel dissatisfied. If you are accustomed to the comfortable equipment of domestic cars, you may feel some frustration when you drive a Porsche.
