Base Boxster or Boxster S?

Consultation About Buying a Boxster I often receive questions about car purchases through this blog, and my husband usually replies with his opinions. So this time, I’d like to share a consultation we received from someone considering buying a Boxster and how my husband responded. The inquiry was roughly as follows: Having finally decided to fulfill a long-held dream by purchasing a 981 Boxster, but unsure whether to go for the base model or the...

Driving the Boxster with the Top Down on a Sunny Break in the Rainy Season

The Boxster After a Long Time This rainy season feels like it’s been wetter than last year. The other day, while driving, I noticed lots of hydrangeas blooming beautifully along the riverside park near my home. It would be lovely to take a photo of my car with the hydrangeas. This year’s rainy season isn’t just constant rain every day—there are plenty of sunny breaks in between, so the other day, I decided to take...

Porsche Boxster GTS and Nightscape Photography

Boxster and Nightscape My husband, who is passionate about photography, has taken many photos of “nightscapes with our cars” over the years. However, most of them were with the Panamera and GT3; he had never taken a single photo of the Boxster with a night view. Since our Boxster’s body color is white, my husband said, “It’s tough to photograph a white car with a nightscape. The Panamera’s Night Blue Metallic body blends well into...

Test Driving the Porsche Boxster GTS (981) with PDK and Sports Chassis

The other day, my husband had the opportunity to drive a 981 Boxster GTS with the Sports Chassis option, and he wrote about his impressions. Please have a look if you’re interested. Porsche Boxster with Sports Chassis One afternoon, when we went to Royu Driveway in the 981 Boxster GTS (MT), we happened to meet a blog reader who was driving a Boxster GTS (981, PDK).

What I Felt After Driving the Porsche Boxster Again After a Long Time

Driving the Boxster Among the Cherry Blossoms The other day on a weekday, I decided to take the Boxster for a drive on the Royu Driveway. Normally, this time of year I would go cherry blossom viewing at a nearby park, but since that’s not possible right now, I thought at least I could enjoy the blossoms from inside the car. Come to think of it, around this time last year, I still couldn’t really...

What Happens When I, a 981 Boxster GTS Driver, Take the 718 Boxster GTS for a Spin?

718 Boxster GTS About a year ago, I had the chance to drive a friend of my husband’s 718 Boxster GTS (MT). However, at that time, I wasn’t very confident driving a manual car, so my husband warned me on the spot: Mina, better not. You’ll break the clutch. Reluctantly, I gave up on driving the 718 Boxster GTS. That moment became the trigger for me to say, “I absolutely must learn to drive a...

Is It Not Cold to Drive a Convertible (Porsche Boxster) in the Dead of Winter?

Convertibles in the Dead of Winter Before I experienced driving a convertible, whenever I saw someone driving one in the dead of winter, I used to think, “It must be freezing, are they just toughing it out? They don’t really have to drive with the top down, do they? lol” But once I actually experienced driving with the top down, I clearly understood that even in the dead of winter, you want to drive with...

718 Cayman/Boxster GTS 4.0 Debuts! What Does My Husband Think??

718 GTS 4.0 Announcement The other day, the 718 GTS model equipped with a 4.0L naturally aspirated flat-six engine, the “GTS 4.0”, was announced, and it quickly became a hot topic online. Until now, the currently available 718 GTS has been a four-cylinder model, and I thought only the 718 Spyder and GT4 had six-cylinder engines, but now the six-cylinder NA engine has made a comeback in the GTS lineup. Since various articles have already...

How Does It Feel to Drive a Porsche Boxster After a Long Break?

Two Weeks Away from Porsche I wrote that my health hadn’t been great since the end of the year, and when I counted, it turned out I hadn’t driven the Porsche for about two weeks. I don’t think I’ve ever gone that long without driving the Porsche since it came to our home. Then, the other day, I had a day when I felt a bit better, so I decided to take the Porsche out...
