Heading to Tohoku in a Boxster I’d been posting about it on Twitter from time to time, but over the recent Golden Week holiday, my husband took the Boxster on a road trip to Tohoku. It was a seven-day, six-night trip, with no ferries or other transport involved—he drove the entire way. As usual, my husband put together a trip report, this time covering DAY 1 through DAY 7. It’s quite a long read, so...

Test-Driving the 718 Boxster GTS In yesterday’s article, I wrote that I was disappointed not to get a chance to drive the 718 Boxster GTS. Read on, and you’ll see why I was so keen to get behind the wheel! In February, my husband got to ride along in an acquaintance’s 718 Boxster GTS, but 【ポルシェオーナーズファイル #8】718ケイマン 購入・オプション・走行レビュー This time, thanks to the owner’s generosity, we got to take it for a roughly 10-minute drive....
A Chance to Ride in the 718 Boxster GTS! One Saturday in February, a friend of my husband’s took delivery of a 718 Boxster GTS. They arranged to meet at the East Rokko Observatory on Royu Driveway, where my husband would get a chance to ride along. The owner kindly suggested, “Why don’t you come along too, Mina?” I’d already asked my mother-in-law to watch the kids and had been looking forward to the day....
Living with a 981 Boxster My husband had recently been commuting in his air-cooled 911, but the other day he took the Boxster to work for the first time in a while. When he got home, the first thing he said was: Man, the Boxster really is a great car. I couldn’t help replying, “I’ve heard you say that at least a thousand times.” (Kansai folks have a habit of exaggerating, so in reality it...
A Porsche Boxster Track Day at Suzuka Circuit The other day, my husband took his Boxster GTS to a track day at Suzuka Circuit. The only date he could make was for an event hosted by a tuning shop, so the paddock was filled with modified Japanese cars. He and a friend were the only ones who brought completely stock, factory-spec Porsches.(He said they felt a little out of place! lol) It was an unusually...
Let’s Share Our Porsche Owner Experiences! The other day, I wrote that it would be great to hear questions from Porsche owners and people thinking about buying a Porsche, invite readers across Japan to share their answers, and then publish them here on the blog. I followed up by asking about “when to get your first Porsche oil change.” Readers sent in lots of responses, along with plenty of other useful tips, so I’d love...
718 Cayman T / Boxster T Porsche has unveiled two new models today: the 718 Cayman T and 718 Boxster T. The “T” stands for “Touring,” and these models are designed to deliver a purer driving experience with less weight. Porsche has offered a 911 Carrera T, but this marks the first time a T model has joined the 718 lineup. What Are the 718 T Specifications? According to Porsche’s Newsroom, here are the specifications...
Porsche Daytime Running Lights When my husband and I were watching news coverage of a Porsche Panamera crash on the Hanshin Expressway, he said: That Panamera (970) looked like it was going pretty fast. I wonder if its lights were on. This generation came out before Japan changed its DRL regulations, so the headlights should switch on after the car has been above a certain speed for a while. That reminded me of a conversation...
