How Do Porsche Owners Handle Inspections and Maintenance?

Porsche Maintenance The other day, I wrote about vehicle inspections for our Porsches (Boxster and 964). In response, readers shared comments about issues with their own cars, as well as inspections and maintenance. As I read through them, I found myself thinking, “There’s so much valuable information here that you’d only know from owning one of these cars…” So I decided to share some of those comments on the blog. Of course, maintenance needs vary...

Five Porsches in Our Garage: If My Husband Could Keep Just One, Which Would It Be?

Our Porsche Lineup We currently have five Porsches in our family: a Porsche 911 GT3 (991.2), a 911 (964 C2), a 911 Cabriolet (992), a Boxster GTS (981), and a Cayenne E-Hybrid. (Now that I think about it, that really is a lot…) The other day, someone my husband knows asked him, “Forget future value or rarity. If you could keep just one car from your current lineup, which would you choose?” “That’s a really...

What It’s Like to Drive a 911 GT3 When You Usually Drive a Cayenne

Getting Back Behind the Wheel of the Porsche 911 GT3 Our household has a few sports cars—a manual Boxster, a 911 Cabriolet, a manual 911 GT3, and a 911 (964). But they’re often parked near the train station or close to my husband’s office. They’re also mostly two-seaters (the 911 may have four seats, but in practice it feels like a two-seater…), so I don’t get many chances to drive them. My husband always tells...

Porsche 911, The Appeal of Porsche

How a Porsche Owner “Brings Their Porsche to Life”

Our Porsche 911 (992) Our 911 Cabriolet (992) was delivered in September. After my husband drove it to work and on long-distance tours, the break-in period was complete, it had tackled a session at Fuji Speedway, and we’d changed the oil. By now, it had already covered more than 3,800 km. How do you even manage to drive that much in two months? (笑) My husband is usually the one who drives the 911 Cabriolet....

Porsche 911 (Air-Cooled 964) Inspection: What It Covers and How Much It Costs

Porsche 911 (Air-Cooled 964) Inspection In a recent article, “Driving a Refreshed Air-Cooled Porsche 911 (964) Felt Like Driving a New Car,” I mentioned that I’d share the inspection details later. So this time, I’m going to cover what the inspection involved and how much it cost. For this inspection, we took the car to B-Force, the shop that’s looked after our 964 ever since it was delivered. Here’s what the inspection included and what...

Porsche 911 GT3 Ownership Costs: Is It More Expensive to Maintain Than a 911 Carrera?

Porsche GT3 Maintenance Costs The other day, someone asked me, “People say a GT3 costs more to maintain than a 911 Carrera, but what exactly costs more—and by how much?” I asked my husband what it had been like in practice. He said: “Hmm… So far, I haven’t found it dramatically more expensive than a 911 Carrera. But if you drive it on track often, you’ll need to change the oil more frequently, which would...

A Refreshed Air-Cooled Porsche 911 (964) Felt Like a New Car

Air-Cooled Porsche 911 (964) It’s hard to believe that our 964 has been with us for two full years. “We’ve been keeping up with maintenance over the past couple of years, and it’s in much better shape now. I reckon it’s getting close to how it felt when it was new,” my husband often said. But between the whirlwind of having a baby and a period when we kept the 964 in a parking lot...

A Porsche 911 GT3 Road Trip to Japan’s “Center of the Country” Meeting

A Road Trip with Boxster Owner wata My husband has long looked up to wata, a well-known blogger who writes about his Porsche Boxster (and previously, his BMW ALPINA). His 981 Boxster, which he bought new, has already covered more than 160,000 km, and he’s driven just about every road in Japan—many of them more than once. He’s an incredible enthusiast. My husband has always said: I love driving and going on road trips, but...

Porsche 911 GT3 Oil Change at the Dealer: How Much Did It Cost?

Our GT3 Has Passed 10,000 Kilometers Our 911 GT3 was delivered last May. In just a year and a half, it has already covered more than 10,000 kilometers—10,605 kilometers, to be exact. My husband often takes other cars on road trips, too, so the fact that the GT3 has still passed the 10,000-kilometer mark really drives home just how much he loves being behind the wheel. Recently, he mentioned something he’d noticed about the GT3....
