How to Drive a Porsche 911 (964) Tiptronic

964 Tiptronic Recently, the prices of used 964 models have been rising relentlessly. Just recently, it became a hot topic that even the 964 Tiptronic (Tip) surpassed 10 million yen, but there are now examples exceeding 17 million yen. This situation is, of course, partly due to the popularity of the 964, but another factor is the recent weak yen, which has made Japanese used cars relatively affordable from a global perspective. That said, the...

A Porsche Boxster Battery Goes Flat: What to Do and Why It Can Be Surprisingly Tricky

My Boxster’s Battery Went Flat Toward the end of last year, I hadn’t driven my Boxster in a while. I think it had been sitting unused for more than a month and a half. Then one day near the end of the year, I went to get in and pressed the button on the key fob—but nothing happened. The light on the key was on, so the key itself seemed to be working. I tried...

How to Care for Porsche Leather Seats

Some Porsche seats use synthetic leather or Alcantara for certain surfaces, but leather is the choice in many models. On Porsches with a leather package, even the dashboard may be leather-trimmed. If you want to keep the leather in good condition, regular maintenance is a good idea. Here’s the approach I use to care for Porsche leather seats. Porsche Genuine Leather Cleaner and Conditioner In the past, my wife used an aftermarket leather cleaner to...

What Is PTS on the New Porsche 911 GT3 (992)?

Porsche PTS: A Popular Topic Among Owners Lately, posts like “I ordered a new Porsche 911 GT3!” and “I got an allocation!” have been popping up on social media. And among them, you’ll occasionally see someone say they ordered their car with PTS. It seems buyers in Japan weren’t previously able to order a car with PTS, but requests have become more common since the 992 arrived. In this article, we’ll explain what PTS means...

Why I Like Removing the Badges from My Porsche

Going Badge-Free on My Porsche I ordered my manual-transmission car in April, but there’s still no word on when it will be built or delivered. While searching online for delivery updates and browsing photos for ideas on how to fine-tune my spec, my husband said: Wouldn’t that car look cleaner and cooler without the badges on the back? That got me curious, so I searched for images of the car with and without its badges...

At Least 57 People Have Bought a Porsche After Reading This Blog!

What Porsche Readers Are Saying I started this Porsche blog in June 2017. With my husband’s help, I decided to take blogging seriously, and in April 2018, I moved from Hatena Blog to my own domain. Since then, I’ve kept improving the site and writing new posts. It’s hard to believe that nearly three years have passed. Over the years, readers have reached out after asking us for advice about buying a Porsche to say,...

The Right Way to Warm Up a Porsche

Warming Up a Porsche I recently received this question on Twitter: Could you explain the right way to warm up a Porsche, including the GTS models? I feel like the idle settles down after about 20 minutes, when the coolant temperature gauge gets to around 70°C, near the middle of the dial. So I’ve been waiting until then before driving off, but I’m still experimenting because I haven’t found a clear answer. That’s what they...

How to Buy a Porsche: You Have to Drive One to Understand It

Why You Need to Test-Drive a Porsche My husband recently had the chance to test-drive the new Cayenne E-Hybrid at a dealership. Afterward, he made this observation: I think this applies to other brands, too, but with Porsche in particular, no amount of explanation can tell you what a car is really like. You have to drive it. That new hybrid I tried the other day was even better than I expected. Honestly, it was...

A Porsche Owner’s Perspective on Strange Noises

Final Delivery Steps for Our 911 Cabriolet The final delivery paperwork for our 991 Cabriolet (992 generation) was completed recently, and we were told that, barring any unexpected delays, delivery should take place in mid-September. I couldn’t be there because I was back at my parents’ home for the birth of our baby, but I hope to write about the experience later on. For this 911 Cabriolet, we wanted a timeless, understated specification. After much...
