Porsche Daytime Running Lights When I was watching the news about the Porsche Panamera accident on the Hanshin Expressway the other day, my husband said, This Panamera (970) seemed to be speeding, but I wonder if the lights were on. This model of Panamera was made before Japan’s DRL standards changed, so the headlights should come on automatically after driving above a certain speed for a while. Come to think of it, we once talked...

The Porsche Boxster’s Trunk Holds More Than You Think – Suitcases Fit with Room to Spare!

The Open Two-Seater’s Trunk “I’ve heard many people say that the Boxster’s trunk can’t hold much luggage,” and since (I used to think so too), I decided to put that to the test. Because the Boxster features a “mid-engine layout with the engine placed in the middle of the chassis,” it has trunks both in the front and rear. To open the trunk, you either pull this lever under the driver’s seat, or press the...

Touring North Through Hyogo Prefecture to Beautiful Fukui in a Porsche Boxster

Wind and Light, Boxster For quite some time, my husband has been reading a Boxster touring blog written by someone named “wata-san.” It seems to be well-known among Boxster and touring enthusiasts. The blog shares stories and videos of touring all across Japan. The photography and video quality are stunning, but what really stands out is the passion for touring—like driving 800 km in a single day and covering 100,000 km in three and a...

About Porsche New Model Release Information For a while now, I’ve been checking the latest Porsche news through Google Alerts. Every day, I receive about ten emails with various campaign info, press conference details, and new model updates, but recently, there’s been so much “Porsche new model release information” that it’s become quite confusing. Articles often say things like “The full reveal of the Boxster Spyder is finally here!” or “Spy shots of the new...

Porsche 981 Boxster GTS – Its Charm Still Shines Bright Even After 2 Years of Ownership

Commuting with the 981 Boxster GTS My husband commutes about once a week in the 981 Boxster GTS (MT). When we first got the Boxster, he drove it to work every day to get used to driving a manual and to break the car in. But then he said, “Since the round trip from home to work is about 50 km, it feels like a waste to rack up mileage just commuting,” so he started...
