Following up on the previous Autumn Touring in a Porsche 911: Journey through Shinshu, Noto, Hida, and Mino (1), here is the continuation. Hakusan Shirakawago White Road On the morning of day three, I checked today’s route on the touring map. Since it was peak autumn foliage season, I was quite torn about whether to go to the Hakusan Shirakawago White Road, but since it was a weekday and early morning, I expected it wouldn’t...

Autumn Touring in a Porsche 911: A Journey through Shinshu, Noto, Hida, and Mino (Part 1)

Solo Touring in a Porsche 911 To visit the Porsche Experience Center Tokyo, my family had come to Yokohama with the Cayenne and 911 (991 early model Carrera 4 GTS), but the next day, our family trip officially ended with everyone going their separate ways at the hotel in Yokohama. As soon as I finished breakfast at the hotel, I quickly packed my belongings into the 911, checked out alone, and left my family behind....

Test Driving the Porsche 911 Carrera (991.1): Why the Base Carrera Is So Good

Since purchasing the 991.1 (early 991) Carrera 4 GTS, I’ve become completely captivated by the early 991 generation. Recently, I had the opportunity to test drive the base (standard) 991 Carrera, so I’d like to share my report along with some thoughts on the appeal of the “pure” 911. Why Do Porsche Enthusiasts Return to the Base 911? This is something I had heard many times even before owning a Porsche: well-known automotive critics and...

Why Did I Buy the Four-Wheel Drive Porsche 911? And Why the GTS?

Why Did I Choose the Four-Wheel Drive 911? When people think of the Porsche 911, many imagine it as an RR (rear-engine, rear-wheel drive) car. I’m no different. To me, the 911 is synonymous with RR. However, as you know, there are four-wheel drive models of the 911. These include the Carrera (Targa) 4 series and the Turbo models. The first Carrera 4 was the 964 generation, which, according to period documents, featured a fixed...

Why I Bought a Used Porsche 911 (991.1 Early Model)

Some readers might wonder, why I own the latest 992 model and until recently even had a GT3 Touring Package, yet I deliberately chose to buy an older, early 991 model used. This time, I’d like to talk about why I chose the 991, which is technically inferior to the 992 and GT3, and why I went for the early model. Why buy an older model with lower performance on purpose? I used to think...

Used Porsche Purchase Story ①｜A 911 Carrera 4 GTS (991 Early Model) Comes Home

Purchased a Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS (991 Early Model) It had been almost half a year since I parted ways with my GT3 Touring Package. Recently, I had been thinking that if I were to buy a Porsche, it would be either a base 718 Cayman or an early 991, so I focused my watch there. Then, a 2015 model year 991.1 (early 991) Carrera 4 GTS with 32,000 km appeared on Car Sensor....

The Origin of the Porsche 911! Driving the Short Wheelbase Narrow

The Origin of the Porsche 911 Among all the Porsche 911s I have driven so far, this is the most primitive 911. This time, I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to test drive a 1967 911S. This Bahama Yellow example exudes a special aura from its dignified presence. The history this car has traveled surely makes you feel that way. With only about 21,000 km on the odometer, it’s an exceptionally well-preserved vehicle....

The Ideal Specs for Buying the New 911 GT3 Touring Package! Should You Get PCCB? What Abo...

Until this spring, my husband owned a 911 GT3 Touring (991 late model). He was very particular about options and specs and agonized over selling it for months, but finally decided to let it go this spring. Recently, he said, “If I were to buy the new 911 GT3 Touring Package (992 model), this is how I’d spec it out,” and showed me his configuration. So, this is purely his personal preference and just for...
