Test Drive of the New Porsche 911 Carrera (992): The Charm of the Basic Model

Porsche 911 Carrera Type 992 It’s been about a year and a half since I purchased the new Porsche 911, the 992 Carrera Cabriolet. Since then, I’ve driven over 8,000 km on tours, city drives, commuting, and even on the circuit. It’s very easy to use, and I feel that the 992’s usability and comfort in city driving, commuting, and shopping scenes surpass those of the previous 991. Also, the 992’s performance at the limit...

Porsche 911, How to Buy a Porsche

How Did My Porsche-Loving Husband Respond to Questions About Buying a 911 Cabriolet (992)?

About Buying a Porsche Every day, I receive inquiries and messages about purchasing a Porsche on this blog. From everyone’s messages, I can feel the excitement of ordering a Porsche and eagerly awaiting delivery, which only makes me think more and more, “I want to be able to buy my own Porsche soon!” (laughs) Recently, I received questions about buying a 911 Cabriolet (992 model). There were mainly four questions, and I shared my husband’s...

Test Drive: Porsche 911 Carrera 4S (991 Early Model) – A Fully Loaded Masterpiece

The Early 991 Carrera 4S Lately, many people around me have been buying early 991 models. What everyone consistently praises is the NA engine’s sound and rev feel. While Porsche may still produce NA 911s in the future, this generation represents the last NA engine 911s from an era before stricter noise regulations and without GPFs. That makes many eager to get their hands on one now. I’m one of them, having purchased an early...

The Allure of the Porsche 911 as I Feel It

A Long-Awaited Drive in the Porsche 911 A few days ago, I wrote an article titled, “Why I Don’t Feel Like Driving the Porsche 911 or Boxster We Have at Home.” At home, we have Porsches that my husband purchased, but since he cherishes these cars deeply, I felt hesitant to drive them. Then, just recently, when I was going to renew my driver’s license, my husband said, “Since it’s a special occasion, why not...

Year-End Touring in a Porsche 911: Crossing Shikoku

Crossing Shikoku on Route 194 The morning in Saijo City marked the final day of our touring adventure. Although the snow clouds that brought a cold wave to the Japanese archipelago had eased somewhat, there was still a risk of snow in the mountainous areas of Shikoku. Checking the weather forecast, I confirmed the route. The 911 was quite dirty, its body sticky from road salt. Washing it now would be pointless since it would...

Year-End Touring in a Porsche 911: Exploring the Wide-Area Farm Roads of Okayama and Hiro...

Enjoying the Okayama Wide-Area Farm Roads from Tsuyama Following up on the previous touring report, this time I’d like to share the wide-area farm roads of Okayama and Hiroshima. Mornings in Tsuyama often bring thick fog. The last time was foggy as well, and this morning the mist is deep again. After getting ready at the hotel, the fog cleared and the sun began to peek through by the time I was about to leave....

Test Drive: Porsche 964 Carrera RS (Touring) – What Sets It Apart from the Standard Carrera?

Porsche 911 Carrera RS (964 Model) It’s been about three and a half years since the air-cooled Porsche 911 (964 model) Carrera 2 came to our home. Captivated by the analog feel that modern Porsches no longer have, and the handling that directly reflects driving skill, I still find the 964 endlessly fresh and enjoyable to drive. It’s a car that’s fun even without pushing it hard, enjoyable at any speed or situation—from city streets...

Year-End Touring in a Porsche 911: From the Winter Sea of Japan to Mountain Winding Roads

Driving Along the Sea of Japan from Tsuruga to Kyogamisaki The morning in Tsuruga City was bitterly cold. Fortunately, the snow from yesterday had stopped, and there seemed to be no accumulation. Climbing into the ice-cold 911, I carefully warmed up the engine, PDK, and suspension components at a slower pace than usual. Both the 981 Boxster and this 991.1 Carrera 4 GTS take quite a while for the oil temperature to rise. Sometimes it...

Year-End Touring with the Porsche 911 – Snowy Porsche 911 Adventure

Annual Year-End Touring At the end of last year, I went on my usual year-end tour. In our family, my wife and kids head to their parents’ home, and I take off alone on a trip with my beloved car—that’s become our tradition. Usually, this time of year means snow and icy roads, so the destination tends to be somewhere in the south like Shikoku or Kyushu. But this time, since I was driving the...

GTS Trio of 981 and Early 991! An Exhilarating Touring Day in Okayama

The other day, my friend Tomozō-san took delivery of his 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet (early 991), so the three of us—TAKURO’s 981 Boxster GTS, my Carrera 4 GTS Cabriolet, and Tomozō’s car—headed out for a day trip touring the usual wide-area Okayama farm roads. This time, I’d like to share a report on that tour and my impressions of the Carrera GTS Cabriolet. AM 7:30 I met up with TAKURO at a convenience store, and...
