Recently, I had the opportunity to test drive the 992 Turbo S. I’ve written a test drive report on the 992 Turbo S before, but some time has passed since then, and I believe my experience and impressions have evolved. So, I’d like to share again the true appeal of the Turbo S. Porsche 911 Turbo S For Porsche, the “Turbo” grade doesn’t simply mean a turbocharged car. Proof of this is that even the...
Running this blog gives me plenty of opportunities to drive many Porsches, and lately, I’ve almost always been able to guess the tire pressure correctly. While I can’t pinpoint it down to 0.1 bar, if the pressure is just a bit high or low, I can tell after driving just a few dozen meters. Recently, I’ve driven models like the 992, Carrera S, Macan Turbo, and 992 Turbo S, and have given advice on tire...
It’s Been a While Since My Last Blog Recently, both my husband and I have been extremely busy with work, and I haven’t had much time to write blog posts. I’m working hard to grow my company, now in its second year, and my husband just recently started a new business too, so we’re actually both in startup mode right now (laughs). Six years ago, when I first started this blog, I was a full-time...
Recently, my wife finished the break-in period for our newly purchased 992 Carrera T, and now we are in the process of breaking in the 718 Carrera T. I’ve mentioned break-in driving several times in past blog posts, but this time I want to share our approach and philosophy on break-in driving, including some new insights we’ve gained since then. Is a break-in period necessary for Porsche? Nowadays, many manufacturers claim that break-in driving is...
Carrera T Heads for Oil Change Just over two months after taking delivery of the Carrera T, the mileage finally hit 2,900km, marking the end of the break-in period. So, just before the Obon holidays in August, I took it to the dealer for an oil and filter change. My husband had told me in advance, Make sure to get the filter changed along with the oil. Even if the oil is clean, it’s pointless...
Touring with the Carrera T When the kids started their summer vacation from elementary school, we spent two weeks visiting my parents’ home. During long holidays like Golden Week, spring break, summer vacation, and New Year’s, our family tradition is for me to take the kids to my parents’ place for a while, while my husband enjoys a brief solo life at home. While my parents watch the kids at my childhood home, I’m truly...
This time, I had the opportunity to test drive the Porsche 911 Carrera GTS (992), which I had been curious about for a while, so I would like to report on it while comparing it with the Carrera T that we have at home. Porsche’s GTS Porsche’s grades are mainly divided into three: the base grade, S, and GTS. Of course, there are others like T and the GT3 series, but since their production numbers...
Porsche 911 Carrera T It’s been almost two months since the Porsche 911 Carrera T arrived at our home. During this time, my wife has been the primary driver of the 911 Carrera T, mainly handling the break-in period. I myself have only driven it occasionally and not daily. However, recently I’ve had more time behind the wheel, so I’d like to share a review of the Carrera T here. Just because my wife bought...
911 Carrera T, 1600km. It’s been a month and a half since delivery. I’ve been driving the 911 Carrera T (MT) almost every day, but since most trips are just around the neighborhood, I’ve only just passed 1600 km on the odometer. The engine sound has gotten noticeably louder, and I’ve gotten quite used to shifting and pedal operation, so I’m now able to enjoy a more relaxed and nimble driving experience. Before buying the...
Why Did I Buy a Porsche Myself? Recently, I purchased a Porsche 911 Carrera T with my own money, and today I want to write about why I was so determined to buy a Porsche with my own funds. Fortunately, my household already has several Porsches owned by my husband, so I could have driven one every day if I wanted. Because of that, if it was just about the desire to drive or ride...
