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

A Solo Porsche 911 Road Trip I’d brought the Cayenne and 911 (991.1 Carrera 4 GTS) to Yokohama with my family for a visit to the Porsche Experience Center Tokyo. The next day, however, our family trip came to an end at our Yokohama hotel, with everyone going their separate ways. As soon as I’d finished breakfast, I hurriedly loaded my bags into the 911, checked out, and left my family behind. Barely able to...

Test-Driving the Porsche 911 Carrera (991.1): Why the Base Carrera Gets It Right

Since buying a 991.1 Carrera 4 GTS, I’ve become completely smitten with the first-generation 991. Recently, I had the chance to drive a base 991.1 Carrera, so I’d like to share my impressions—and explore what makes a standard 911 so appealing. Why Do Experienced Porsche Owners Come Back to the Base 911? Even before I owned a Porsche, I’d heard this time and again: respected automotive journalists and people who have owned several Porsches often...

Why I Bought an All-Wheel-Drive Porsche 911—and Why I Chose the GTS

Why Buy an All-Wheel-Drive 911? When people think of the Porsche 911, many picture its rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout. I certainly do. “911” and “rear-engine, rear-wheel drive” are almost synonymous in my mind. But as you probably know, the 911 lineup also includes all-wheel-drive models: the Carrera 4 and Targa 4 models, along with the Turbo models. The 964 Carrera 4 was the first all-wheel-drive Carrera. According to period sources, it featured a full-time AWD system...

Why I Bought a Used Porsche 911 (991.1)

Some readers may be wondering: Why buy an older, pre-facelift 991 on the used market when I also own the latest 992 and, until recently, even had a GT3 Touring Package? In this article, I’ll explain why I chose a 991, even though it’s not as high-performing as a 992 or a GT3—and why I went for the pre-facelift model. Why Buy an Older Porsche That’s Less Capable? I used to think the same way....

Buying a Used Porsche: Our 911 Carrera 4 GTS (991.1) Comes Home

The other day, I wrote about buying a 911 Carrera 4 GTS (991.1). Today, I’d like to pick up where I left off and share what delivery day was like, along with my first impressions. Delivery Day After preparing and sending in the paperwork, delivery day arrived about three weeks later. I could have paid extra to have the car delivered on a transporter, but I chose not to. As a Porsche owner who believes...

Buying a Used Porsche, Part 1 | Our 911 Carrera 4 GTS (991.1) Comes Home

Buying a Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS (991.1) It was almost six months since I’d sold my GT3 with the Touring Package. Lately, I’d been thinking that if I bought another Porsche, I’d want either a base 718 Cayman or an early 991, so those were the models I’d been keeping an eye on. Then, a 2015 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS (991.1) with 32,000 km on the clock appeared on Carsensor. The spec looked...

The Original Porsche 911: Driving a Short-Wheelbase Narrowbody

The Porsche 911 in Its Purest Form Of all the Porsche 911s I’ve driven, this is the most primitive. And this time, I had the good fortune to get behind the wheel of a 1967 911 S. Finished in Bahama Yellow, this car has a quiet dignity and a special aura about it. Perhaps it’s the history it carries. With only around 21,000 km on the clock, it’s in exceptional condition. It has a presence...

How to Choose the Right Porsche Trim: A Guide by Use and Driving Situation

Porsche may offer a relatively small number of model lines, but each comes in a wide range of trims. Even the 911 lineup includes everything from the base coupe to S and GTS models, all-wheel-drive Carrera 4 and 4S models, Carrera 4 GTS models, the Turbo and Turbo S, the GT3, GT3 RS and GT2 RS—plus Cabriolet and Targa versions. The choices add up quickly. It’s impossible to test-drive every one of them, and even...

The Ideal New 911 GT3 Touring Package Spec: PCCB or Front-Axle Lift?

Until this spring, my husband owned a 911 GT3 Touring (991.2 generation). He was particular about its options and specification, and spent months debating whether to sell it. This spring, though, he finally decided to let it go. Then, the other day, he showed me his configurator choices and said, “If I were buying the new 911 GT3 Touring Package (992), this is how I’d spec it.” His choices are, of course, a matter of...

Owning Two Generations of the Porsche 911: Comparing the Modern 992 with the Air-Cooled 964

Why the Air-Cooled Porsche 911 (964) Is So Special For a long time, my husband would drive our 992-generation 911 and say, “The 992 really is fantastic,” then take the air-cooled 964 out and say, “The 964 really is something else.” But lately, even he’s started to sound a little different. These days, I definitely prefer the 964! If I had to keep just one—the 992 or the 964—I’d choose the 964 without a second...
