Oil Change for Porsche 911 (992) The other day, my husband already had the oil and filter changed on his 911 Cabriolet (992) at the dealer. It had only been a little over a month since delivery, but he had quickly finished the break-in period by using it for commuting and some mid-distance touring. The reason was that he had planned to drive at Fuji Speedway soon at a Porsche Driving School (Porsche Track Experience),...
Heading to Chirihama Nagisa Driveway Lately, my husband has been going on tours almost every week. (Just recently, I wrote an article saying his touring enthusiasm wasn’t as strong as before, haha.) Often, for these long-distance tours, he stays overnight, heading out with a huge load of camera gear and other equipment, like some kind of film crew. And just the other day, he drove on Japan’s only sandy beach where you can actually drive...
Porsche’s Sports Seat Plus The other day, my husband had the chance to test drive a 911 Carrera S (992 model) on a circuit, and when he came home, he said this: This time, I drove the 911 Carrera S, and I kept wondering, “Why is the ride comfort so different between our base 911 (992 model) and the S?” After some thought, I figured it out. The difference in seats plays a big role....
Time flies—it’s already been a month since the Porsche 911 Cabriolet (992 model) was delivered. Recently, my husband has been driving this 911 Cabriolet (992 model) almost every day, and he kindly shared his impressions after one month of ownership. Please take a look if you’re interested. One Month with the 911 Cabriolet Since the delivery of the Porsche 911, we’ve been trying to rack up the mileage quickly to reach the 3,000 km break-in...
A Long-Awaited Drive in the GT3 The other day, I drove the 911 GT3 (MT) for the first time in three months. I only drove it for about 20 minutes to swap it with another car in the parking lot, but it was great to feel the GT3 again after such a long break. Our GT3 is a 991 late model GT3 Touring. The clutch on this GT3 is surprisingly light compared to the 981...
The other day, my husband had the chance to drive a friend’s 911 SC, and he wrote his impressions in this article. Please have a look if you’re interested. Test Drive: 911 SC (930 Model) This time, we were fortunate to test drive a 1981 Porsche 911 SC. The “SC” in 911 SC stands for Super Carrera, and it’s powered by a 3-liter air-cooled flat-six engine. It boasts 204 PS at 5900 rpm and 27...
About the 911 Cabriolet Interior Today, I’d like to introduce the interior of our 911 Carrera Cabriolet (992 model) that was delivered last month. My husband described the concept of this 911 Cabriolet as a “calm, mature 911.” With that in mind, here are the interior specifications and options for this 911 Cabriolet: ・Interior color: Standard Interior Black/Mojave Beige, partial leather ・Interior: Sports seats, seat ventilation (front), multifunction GT sports steering wheel, storage package ・Leather...
Convertibles I’ve heard that “compared to Europe and the U.S., the percentage of people choosing the Cabriolet model among the 911 lineup in Japan is very low.” For Porsche, the split between coupe and Cabriolet is almost even in Europe and the U.S., but in Japan, it’s reportedly only about 10%. Indeed, it’s rare to spot convertibles on Japanese streets. Before, when I saw someone driving a convertible, I sometimes looked at them a bit...
My husband wrote an article sharing his impressions after driving the 911 Cabriolet post-delivery. Please take a look if you’re interested. First Impressions of the 911 Cabriolet (992) It’s hard to believe it’s already been about two weeks since the Porsche 911 arrived at our home. We haven’t done any really long trips yet, but he’s taken every chance to drive it, and now that we’ve hit around 500 km, I’d like to share his...
911 Carrera Cabriolet Delivery The other day, we finally took delivery of the long-awaited 911 Cabriolet (992 model). Since we ordered it at the end of February this year, the wait was about seven months. （You can read about the timeline from order to delivery here） I had thought, “The COVID situation will probably cause a big delay,” but production started sooner than expected, and the car was delivered ahead of my imagination. I had...
