The other day, I participated in the 911days driving event and took the 718 Cayman T around Fuji Speedway. I’ve driven Fuji Speedway many times before, but this time it was with the Cayman T. Previously, I’ve driven there in a 981 Boxster GTS, a 991 GT3, an early 991 Carrera 4 GTS, and a 992 Cabriolet. Pushing the Circuit with the 2-Liter Base Engine I’ve mentioned on the blog before that the base 718...
Continuing from the first part, this time I’d like to focus on impressions from winding roads and highways. 718ケイマンTの納車から半年経過してどうだった?(前編) A Mid-Engine Car’s Perfect Cornering Example At home, we have a 981 Boxster GTS and a 992, but the way the 718 Cayman T corners is different from both. Of course, since it’s the same mid-engine layout, it’s closer to the 981 Boxster GTS, but its driving performance far surpasses that. True to its mid-engine nature,...
About six months have passed since taking delivery of the 718 Cayman T, and the mileage has now exceeded around 2,000 km. While the break-in period isn’t completely over yet, I’ve been on a few short tours, so I thought it’s a good time to share my impressions so far.

Running this blog gives me plenty of opportunities to drive many Porsches, and lately, I’ve almost always been able to guess the tire pressure correctly. While I can’t pinpoint it down to 0.1 bar, if the pressure is just a bit high or low, I can tell after driving just a few dozen meters. Recently, I’ve driven models like the 992, Carrera S, Macan Turbo, and 992 Turbo S, and have given advice on tire...
Recently, my wife finished the break-in period for our newly purchased 992 Carrera T, and now we are in the process of breaking in the 718 Carrera T. I’ve mentioned break-in driving several times in past blog posts, but this time I want to share our approach and philosophy on break-in driving, including some new insights we’ve gained since then. Is a break-in period necessary for Porsche? Nowadays, many manufacturers claim that break-in driving is...
Why Did I Decide to Buy the 718 Cayman T? Actually, today the brand-new 718 Cayman T was delivered! Originally, I was interested in the base 718 Cayman (the 2-liter model), and as mentioned in my blog article “My Husband Is Curious About the Base Porsche 718 Cayman, So I Asked Him Why”, I wanted a base 718 Cayman for circuit and mountain driving. Some time ago, the dealer’s representative suggested, “How about the 718...
The other day, I had the chance to drive both the 718 Cayman (base model) and the 718 Boxster T, so I’d like to share my reviews of each and report on their differences. 718 Cayman (Base Model) First up is the base model 718 Cayman. This particular car had almost no sporty options and was the most basic 718 Cayman. I’ve reviewed the 718 Cayman several times before, but this time I want to...
