Can You Drive a Porsche Convertible on Rainy Days? The other day, I received this question. Is it okay to drive a Porsche convertible on rainy days? Are there any precautions I should take? I’ve written before about caring for the Porsche convertible soft top, and today, building on that, I’d like to share what I’ve learned from my husband and our dealer representative. To get straight to the point, you can definitely drive a...

Spring San’in Touring with the Porsche Boxster

A Journey with the Boxster When spring break comes, my wife and kids always go back to their parents’ home. March was busy for various reasons, but with work settling down, I decided to take a short tour after a long time. At first, I was thinking about heading toward Wakayama, where the highway has been expanded to four lanes, but the weather forecast showed it would be bad there. Looking westward, the weather seemed...

New Year’s Short Touring on Awaji Island with the Boxster

Driving the Boxster After experiencing a dead battery at the end of last year, I felt like taking the Boxster out for a drive again. So, early in the new year, I decided on a short touring trip. For a day trip from Kansai, somewhere with no snow worries this season and where driving an open car feels great, Awaji Island naturally came to mind.

What to Do When Your Porsche Boxster’s Battery Dies: A Handy Guide

My Boxster’s Battery Died At the end of last year, I hadn’t driven my Boxster for a while. I think it was left unused for over a month and a half. Then, one day at year-end, I tried to get in the Boxster and pressed the key button, but there was no response at all. The key’s light was on, so the key itself seemed fine. I tried several times, but still no reaction. It...

Touring Okayama to Tottori with Three Boxster GTS Cars

Three Boxster GTS (981) Cars Owning multiple Porsches and often switching between them weekly, as well as frequently test-driving the latest models, I still have my number one Porsche in my heart: the 981 Boxster GTS. Especially when it comes to touring, I often debate whether to take the 964 or the 981, but usually end up choosing the Boxster. The reason is clear: it has the smoothest engine, an incredibly sensual exhaust note, supple...

Recently, I wrote a test drive article on the current 718 Spyder, but this time, it’s a review of the previous generation 981 Spyder. I’ve known several people around me who own the 981 Spyder, so I’ve seen it many times and felt familiar with the car. Also, since it’s a sibling model to the 981 Boxster GTS that we have at home, it always felt very close to me. Perhaps because of that, I...

Test Drive of the New 718 Spider Since its release, the 718 Spider has gradually started appearing here and there on the streets. This time, I finally had the opportunity to take it for a test drive.

Personally, this design alone makes me want one. It’s simply...

I Want to Master Driving the Porsche Boxster GTS Manual

Back Behind the Wheel of the Manual Boxster GTS The other day, I took the Boxster GTS (981, MT) for a drive on the Royu Driveway after quite some time. Since I usually travel with my kids, I don’t often get to drive a sporty Porsche, so this was my first Boxster drive in several months. I’ve written extensively about how great the Boxster GTS is, so today I want to share a slightly different...
