Looking Back at the Cars I Drove in 2024 With just a few hours left in 2024, it’s time to look back on the year.

Still, here’s a look at everything I drove in 2024: Toyota GRMN Yaris Tesla Model 3 Performance...

Last November, I joined a gathering of Taycan owners for the first time. I’d never been to a Taycan meetup before—and, truth be told, I’m not usually the sort of person who goes to gatherings like that (I tend to hole up at home…). But I was invited by Injunia, a Taycan owner I’d met at Fuji Speedway and exchanged plenty of information with over the years, so I decided to go. The gatherings are...

Why Our Taycan Needed New Tires Our Taycan 4S Cross Turismo was delivered at the end of January this year with new tires on the front only. It had 8,030 km on the clock at delivery.

On this trip, I had appointments in Tokyo on the first day and Yokohama the next, before heading back to Tokyo that evening. With so much travel across prefectural borders, I decided to drive the Taycan rather than take the Shinkansen. It simply seemed like having a car...
