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),...
A Trip to the Chirihama Nagisa Driveway Lately, my husband has been heading out on a drive almost every week. (Funny, I’d only just written that his enthusiasm for touring wasn’t what it used to be!) He often makes a trip of it and stays overnight, packing so much camera gear and other equipment that he looks like he’s heading out with a film crew. The other day, he drove along the Chirihama Nagisa Driveway,...
Porsche Sport Seats Plus The other day, my husband had the chance to take a 911 Carrera S (992 generation) for a spin on a track. When he got home, he told me: I drove a 911 Carrera S this time, and I’d been wondering why the ride felt so different from our base 911 (992 generation). I think I’ve figured it out: the seats make a big difference, too. Of course, the suspension and...
It’s hard to believe a month has already passed since our 911 Cabriolet (992) was delivered. My husband has been driving it almost every day, and he’s written about his impressions after the first month of ownership. We hope you enjoy reading them. One Month with the 911 Cabriolet Since taking delivery of our Porsche 911, I’ve been driving it as often as possible—commuting, running everyday errands, and heading to Royu on Sundays—to reach the...
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 an acquaintance’s 911 SC, and he’s written about his impressions. We hope you enjoy the read. Test-Driving the 911 SC (930) The car I was lucky enough to drive this time was a 1981 Porsche 911 SC. SC reportedly stands for “Super Carrera,” and the car is powered by a 3.0-liter air-cooled flat-six. It produces 204 PS at 5,900 rpm and 27 mkg at 4,300...
Inside the 911 Cabriolet Today, I’d like to show you around the interior of our 911 Cabriolet (992), which was delivered last month. My husband described the concept behind this latest 911 Cabriolet as “a refined 911 for grown-ups.” Here’s a rundown of the interior specification and options we chose for our 911 Cabriolet. ・Interior color: Standard Interior in Black/Mojave Beige, Partial Leather ・Interior: Sport Seats, Seat Ventilation (Front), Multifunction GT Sport Steering Wheel, Storage...
Convertibles I’ve heard that in Japan, a far smaller share of 911 buyers choose a Cabriolet than in Europe and North America. Apparently, Porsche sales in those markets are split roughly evenly between coupes and Cabriolets, while in Japan the figure is only around 10 percent. It’s true that you don’t see many convertibles on Japanese streets. Before I owned one, whenever I saw someone driving a convertible, I’d think, “They must really like showing...
My husband has written about his first impressions after driving our newly delivered 911 Cabriolet. We hope you enjoy reading about his Porsche owner experience. First Impressions of the Porsche 911 Cabriolet (992) It’s hard to believe it’s already been about two weeks since our Porsche 911 arrived. We haven’t had a chance to take it on any particularly long trips, but we’ve been fitting in drives whenever we can. Now that we’ve covered around...
Our 911 Carrera Cabriolet Has Arrived At long last, our eagerly awaited 911 Cabriolet (992) was delivered the other day. We placed the order at the end of February, so the wait was about seven months. （Read more about the timeline from ordering to delivery here）We’d expected the delivery to be delayed quite a bit by the impact of COVID, but production got underway sooner than we’d imagined, and the car was ready for delivery....
