My husband recently took his Boxster GTS on a long-distance road trip, and he’s sharing the journey in a series of articles. This is the first installment—hope you enjoy it! Day 1: Driving to Itoigawa in the Rain Rain was in the forecast on the morning we set off. We’d washed the Boxster ahead of the trip, so I backed it out of the parking space and fired up the engine.

A 2,000 km Year-End Road Trip in a Porsche Boxster【Day 5: The Final Day】

The other day, my husband said, “I wrote up an article about a Boxster road trip—take a look when you get a chance.” I thought, “Wait, when did we go on a road trip in the Boxster recently?” But when I checked, I realized it was the next installment of our year-end trip around Kyushu last year (laughs). So, if you like, please read on. The Final Day of Our Kyushu Road Trip in the...

A Drive in My Porsche Boxster with My Manual-Driving Brother

Swapping the Boxster and 911 My brother and his family came to visit us the other day. It had been about three years since their last visit. Since they’d made the long trip to see us, my husband, my brother, and his child were planning to take the 911 to Royu Driveway. That meant swapping the Boxster GTS (981) parked at our house with the 911 Cabriolet (992) parked near the station. My husband suggested,...

A 2,000 km Year-End Road Trip in a Porsche Boxster 【Day 4】

Following on from A 2,000 km Year-End Road Trip in a Porsche Boxster 【Day 3】, my husband has written about Day 4. We hope you enjoy reading it. Boxster, Day 4 Our trip with the Boxster was nearing its end. Perhaps it was because yesterday we tackled the terrifying Route 265—a notoriously narrow, hard-to-drive road—but I think I slept exceptionally well. Today, we planned to explore the Satsuma Peninsula, so we set off from the...

Six Years Into Porsche Boxster GTS Ownership, My Husband Still Gets Excited Every Time He...

Six Years With the 981 Boxster GTS Our Boxster has just passed its second inspection in November. My husband used to say things like, “I wonder if the day will come when we have to part with the Boxster…” But as he’s spent more time behind the wheel, he’s discovered new things to love about it. He’s also kept up with maintenance and renewed the extended warranty, so I think he’s finally decided he wants...

Five Years with a Porsche Boxster GTS: The Second Service Came to an Astonishing ¥523,300!

Servicing a 981 Boxster GTS My husband’s first Porsche was a 981 Boxster GTS, and I was there when it was delivered in 2015. I still remember how excited he was to finally get the Porsche he’d dreamed about for years after deciding, “One day, I’m absolutely going to buy a Porsche.” It feels so strange—I still can’t believe it’s mine. It’s been ages since I drove a manual, and the clutch is so heavy....
