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...
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...
ポルシェ ボクスターの気になるところ、欠点、短所などを挙げてみました。ほとんど欠点らしい欠点は無いクルマですが、強いてあげるならこんな所が気になるというものをまとめてみました。
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 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...
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...
Boxster for Everyday Use The other day, I wrote an article testing “How practical is the GT3 for everyday use?” and this time, I decided to try it with the 981 Boxster GTS. ポルシェ911 GT3はどこまで普段使い出来るのか？ Well… when it comes to the Boxster, I already know it’s practical enough for daily use without even testing it, but I also wanted to personally confirm “how different it really is from the GT3.” ① Boxster / Ride Comfort...
Full Throttle Challenge Recently, I’ve been sharing articles about participating in the Porsche Track Experience (PTE) held in Shirahama, and at the end, everyone took part in a 400m full throttle challenge. 女性だって「ポルシェ乗り」と言われたい！ – ポルシェのドライビングスクールに行ってきた At the usual Porsche Track Experience (PTE) held at Fuji Speedway, this full throttle challenge doesn’t take place. It’s a program only possible because it’s held on the site of a former airport with a long runway of about 2...
