Test Drive of Mercedes-Benz GLB200d 4MATIC｜Differences from GLA and More (Part 1)

GLB200d 4MATIC The other day, a friend of mine purchased a GLB200d 4MATIC, so I had the chance to test drive it. Actually, I had previously test driven my younger brother’s GLA200d 4MATIC. At that time, I was impressed by the engine and body’s rigidity, and the stability at high speeds was amazing. The handling was very sporty, but at town speeds, I felt the rear suspension was a bit bouncy over uneven roads and...

Genuine Ducktail Installed on Porsche 911!

The Ducktail on the Porsche 911 Recently, Porsche unveiled the limited edition 992 model 911, the 911 Sport Classic, which is still fresh in our memories. This Sport Classic is based on the Turbo body and features a ducktail spoiler, paying homage to the 1973 Carrera RS (commonly known as the ’73 Carrera’). The very first production Porsche to feature a ducktail was this ’73 Carrera, developed to generate downforce on the 911’s body, which...

My Impressions After Driving My Husband’s Porsche 911 (964C2) for the First Time in a Year

A Year Later, Behind the Wheel of the Air-Cooled Porsche 911 (964) The other day, I drove my husband’s air-cooled Porsche 911 (964 model) for the first time in a whole year, and I’d like to share my impressions. My husband had urged me dozens of times before, saying things like “Why don’t you drive the 964?” “The suspension’s been refreshed, it’s way better now.” But I was reluctant to get behind the wheel. The...

Nine Months Since Swift Sport Delivery: Why I Prefer Driving My Swift Over My Husband’s P...

Nine Months Since Swift Sport Delivery My beloved car, the Swift Sport, was delivered in October 2021. Time flies—it’s already been nine months. Since then, the only modifications I’ve made are installing lowering springs and replacing the interior lights with LEDs. I’ve been driving the Swift almost daily over these nine months, but since most trips are just to the local supermarket or kindergarten, the mileage hasn’t grown much. So far, it’s about 4,000 km....

How a Porsche Driver Feels Driving the Ferrari F8 Spider

A Unique and Unrivaled Presence: Ferrari My younger brother, who has appeared regularly on this blog before, recently bought a Ferrari F8 Spider, so I had the chance to drive it. After riding a Ferrari again for the first time in a while, I want to share my honest impressions comparing it to Porsche and other cars. Ferrari as a brand dislikes being compared to other cars in the media. For example, on shows like...

What It’s Like When I, a Woman, Drive the New Porsche 911 GT3 (992)

Test Drive of the Mercedes-Benz E200 Coupe: Differences from the S Coupe and BMW Coupes

[TOC] Luxury Coupe When I think of the E-Class coupe, I recall the 1993 movie “The Firm” where Tom Cruise’s character drove a 300CE. Although it was a cabriolet, it was a luxury coupe from Mercedes’ mid-size class (W124 generation) at the time, and I remember having a strong admiration for it during my student days. Since then, I have driven Honda’s Legend Coupe (KA8), and more recently, the R129 SL500 and AMG S63. I...

Parents Are Porsche and Mercedes 500E Are you familiar with the Mercedes W124 E-Class model called the 500E (later known as the E500)?

The development of the 500E was handled by Porsche’s Weissach engineering center, and part of...

My Image of Air-Cooled Porsche Changed! Test Drive Impressions of the 964 MT

Porsche Festival @ Royu Driveway The other day, I had the chance to drive an air-cooled Porsche 964 (MT). It was so much fun that my image of air-cooled Porsches completely changed, and I want to share that experience today. A few days ago, my husband went to Royu Driveway in the morning and came home saying this: Today, a 992 GT3 Touring owner even came all the way from Kyushu, and TAKURO-san showed up...
