Kyushu Road Trip: Day 2 On to the Ibusuki Skyline The sun came out and the rain had stopped. That morning, we set off in our Porsche Boxsters for the Ibusuki Skyline. It was the main destination of this road trip. The Ibusuki Skyline begins at Taniyama IC. After paying the ¥100 toll, we found the traffic had thinned out considerably. From the lookout points along the way, majestic Sakurajima came into view. Some sections...

2023 Kyushu Tour in a Porsche Boxster GTS (981): Day 1

Kyushu Tour: Day 1 After a long break, I finally set off on a road trip in my Porsche Boxster GTS (981). I usually tour solo, but this time I hit the road for a four-night, four-day trip around Kyushu with my friend TAKURO, the blog’s chief test driver. We brought two Boxster GTS (981)s along for the adventure. A Ferry Crossing with Meimon Taiyo Ferry Taking a ferry is a convenient way to travel...

Living with Two Porsche GTS Models: The 981 Boxster and Early 991 911

Two Porsches to Treasure I’d love to keep every Porsche I’ve owned for the rest of my life, but there are two I’m especially reluctant to part with. They’re the Boxster GTS (981) and 911 Carrera 4 GTS (early 991), built around the same time. Both wear the GTS badge—short for “Grand Touring Sport”—and are powered by naturally aspirated flat-six engines from before noise and emissions regulations became as stringent as they are today. The...

Driving a Porsche Manual Just Got More Fun: I Finally Mastered Blipping the Throttle

Back Behind the Wheel of the Boxster Yesterday, I drove our Boxster (981 GTS) for the first time in a while. I often write “It’s been a while…” when I get behind the wheel of one of our Porsches, but this time I’d gone so long without driving the Boxster that I couldn’t even remember when I’d last taken it out. Most days, I drive my Suzuki Swift Sport (manual). It’s been a year since...

Can You Drive a Porsche Convertible in the Rain? I recently received this question: Is it okay to drive a Porsche convertible in the rain? Is there anything I should be careful about? I’ve written before about caring for a Porsche convertible’s soft top, but today I’ll answer based on that article and what I’ve heard from my husband and our dealership contact.

A Springtime Porsche Boxster Tour Through San’in

Hitting the Road with the Boxster When spring break rolls around, my wife and kids usually head back to their hometown. March had been a busy month, but work had finally eased up, so I decided it was time for a short road trip—for the first time in a while. At first, I was thinking of heading toward Wakayama, where the expressway had recently been widened to four lanes. But the weather there didn’t look...

A New Year’s Short Tour of Awaji Island in a Boxster

Getting Behind the Wheel of the Boxster After dealing with a dead battery at the end of the year, I was eager to get back behind the wheel of my Boxster. So, early in the new year, I decided to head out for a short tour. For a day trip from Kansai, I wanted somewhere that was unlikely to see snow at this time of year and would be a pleasure to explore with the...

A Porsche Boxster Battery Goes Flat: What to Do and Why It Can Be Surprisingly Tricky

My Boxster’s Battery Went Flat Toward the end of last year, I hadn’t driven my Boxster in a while. I think it had been sitting unused for more than a month and a half. Then one day near the end of the year, I went to get in and pressed the button on the key fob—but nothing happened. The light on the key was on, so the key itself seemed to be working. I tried...

A Touring Adventure from Okayama to Tottori in Three Boxster GTS Models

Three 981 Boxster GTS Models I own several Porsches, so I rotate between them from week to week, and I often get to drive the latest models, too. But there’s one Porsche that still ranks number one in my book: the 981-generation Boxster GTS. When I’m planning a tour, I often find myself weighing up whether to take my 964 or my 981. More often than not, I end up choosing the Boxster. Its engine...
