How Porsche Will Continue to Maintain Its “Brand Value”

Actually, every time I get comments like this, I think about one thing: “It’s incredible that people want to...

Mastering the Porsche Boxster GTS (MT) – Until That Day Comes Vol.3

Will I ever be able to drive the Boxster…? Last year, at the start of 2017, I set a goal: “This year, I will finally be able to drive the Boxster GTS (MT)!” But when I look back, I only drove the Boxster two or three times all year. Far from getting better, I actually found myself drifting further away from the Boxster GTS. Then this year’s New Year came around. With a faint hope...

Is Driving a Large Car Difficult for Women? – My Thoughts After Driving a Porsche Panamer...

Two Years and Eight Months with the Panamera Many people think, “Large sedans are hard for women to drive.” But what is it really like? Today, I want to share my thoughts after driving a Panamera for about two and a half years. …But before that, let me introduce a bit about my driving history. Readers of this blog might assume I’ve always loved Porsches and driving, but it’s quite the opposite. I only started...

Visited Porsche Japan Headquarters! – Inside Look and Conversations with Staff

To Porsche Japan The other day, thanks to a certain opportunity, I had the chance to visit the Porsche Japan headquarters. Since I live in the Kansai region, I caught an early Shinkansen bound for Shinagawa to coincide with a trip to Tokyo. Since I was visiting Porsche Japan, I made sure to bring a Porsche Design bag, a Porsche laptop case—basically, all Porsche gear (though you’d have to look closely to notice, lol). The...

How I Find Topics and Write This Porsche Blog – Tips for Daily Updates

Updating the Porsche Blog Every Day The other night while having dinner, my husband casually said, “The air-cooled Porsche will probably arrive next month.” I asked, “…Wait, does that mean you already bought it (；ﾟДﾟ)!?” He said, “Yeah.” And that was the end of the conversation. This guy is seriously crazy lol. Anyway, putting that aside, there’s one question I always get asked by people I meet through this blog: “How do you find topics...

How to Buy a Luxury Imported Car Like a Porsche: Loan or Lump-Sum Payment?

Lump-Sum Payment or Loan? About three years ago, when my husband bought his first Porsche（981 Boxster GTS）, he had been saving up for it for quite some time. He paid about 70% in cash and financed the remaining 30% with a loan. The reason he didn’t go for a full loan was because he thought “everyone who buys a luxury car like a Porsche pays in full with cash,” so he wanted to pay as...

On the Opinion That “If You Drive a Porsche, You Shouldn’t Worry About Fuel Efficiency”

“Don’t Worry About Fuel Efficiency” The other day, I met with someone my spouse and I have known for years who recently purchased a “981 Boxster Black Edition”, and I had the chance to hear about their experience. (I plan to share the details in the Porsche Owners File at a later date.) We’ve known this person for about 10 years, and seeing them more lively than ever, saying with sparkling eyes, “Wow, the Boxster...

Will the Day Come When I Can Master the Porsche Boxster GTS (MT)?

Mastering the Boxster GTS (MT) The other day, my husband said to me, “Haven’t you written the third article in the ‘Until the Day I Can Master the Boxster GTS (MT)’ series at all?” And he was right. When I checked the date of the last article I wrote, it was July 17… (-_-) Since I haven’t written any articles, that means I haven’t driven the Boxster since then. On the days I do drive...

The Ultimate Way to Sell Your Beloved Car – Simultaneous Appraisal & Bidding Method About three years ago, my husband was driving a Mercedes-Benz SLK350. Then, in 2015, he purchased a Boxster GTS, and the way he sold the SLK at that time was really effective. Today, I’d like to share that method with you. Usually, people have individual appraisers come one by one and negotiate separately with each company, but scheduling each appointment is...
