Test Drive Review of the Panamera GTS: Is the GTS the One to Buy, or Should You Go for th...

Previously, I have done a review of the Panamera GTS, but this time I was able to borrow one as a loaner for several days, which allowed me to experience it much more thoroughly. Since I was able to drive it in various scenarios—from daily use to the highway—I’d like to consider the position of the GTS based on my ownership experience with the Turbo, as well as test drives of the 4S and Hybrid...

Recently, I wrote a test drive article on the current 718 Spyder, but this time, it’s a review of the previous generation 981 Spyder. I’ve known several people around me who own the 981 Spyder, so I’ve seen it many times and felt familiar with the car. Also, since it’s a sibling model to the 981 Boxster GTS that we have at home, it always felt very close to me. Perhaps because of that, I...

Recently, I’d like to share my perspective on the base model (base grade) of the 718 Cayman that my wife reviewed. A 718 Cayman Loaded with Options I’ve previously test-driven two base grade 718 Caymans, but both had only the bare minimum of options. However, this particular car is very rare, equipped with 20-inch wheels plus the three essential options: the Sport Chrono Package, PASM, and Sport Exhaust. Base grade Caymans rarely come with a...

The Origin of the Porsche 911! Driving the Short Wheelbase Narrow

The Origin of the Porsche 911 Among all the Porsche 911s I have driven so far, this is the most primitive 911. This time, I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to test drive a 1967 911S. This Bahama Yellow example exudes a special aura from its dignified presence. The history this car has traveled surely makes you feel that way. With only about 21,000 km on the odometer, it’s an exceptionally well-preserved vehicle....

Test Driving the Porsche 718 Cayman Base Grade with PASM: Is PASM Necessary or Not?

Test Driving the Base Grade 718 Cayman My husband had been writing on his blog and Twitter that he was “curious about the base grade 718 Cayman,” and in response, a blog reader kindly reached out saying, “If you like, would you like to test drive my 718 Cayman?” The owner’s Cayman was a base grade model equipped with options like “PASM,” “Sport Chrono Package,” “Sport Exhaust,” and “20-inch wheels.” My husband said, This is...

Test Drive of the New 718 Spider: How Does It Sound? Ride Comfort? Handling?

Test Drive of the New 718 Spider Since its release, the 718 Spider has gradually started appearing here and there on the streets. This time, I finally had the opportunity to take it for a test drive. The 718 Spider I drove this time featured a Crayon body color with a red soft top and the Spider Classic interior package—a truly classic and irresistible combination. Personally, this design alone makes me want one. It’s simply...

The Air-Cooled Porsche 911 (964) Is Simply Wonderful My husband has always said, when driving the 992 911, “The 992 really is great~,” and when behind the wheel of the air-cooled 964 Porsche 911, “The 964 really is something else~.” But lately, his words have started to change a bit. Recently, he’s been saying, “The 964 is definitely better! If I had to keep only one, either the 992 or the 964, I’d choose the...

Test Drive of the New Porsche 911 Targa (992): The Most Luxurious Way to Enjoy a 911

The other day, I happened to have the opportunity to experience the new Porsche 911 Targa 4 (992 model), so I’d like to share my report. Porsche 911 Targa 4 (992) This time, I test drove the latest 992-generation Targa 4. It goes without saying, but the Targa is neither a cabriolet nor a coupe. The Targa bar, which corresponds to the B-pillar, is located in the center of the body, enhancing rigidity and providing...

Driving the Cayenne on the Highway in a Torrential Downpour

Driving the Cayenne in a Torrential Downpour The other day, I had the chance to drive the Cayenne on the Chugoku Expressway during a heavy downpour. I’ve driven the Cayenne in the rain many times before, but this rain was truly intense—like being inside an automatic car wash. Even in those conditions, the Cayenne felt incredibly stable and smooth, as if the rain wasn’t even there. Of course, I drove more cautiously than usual—slowing down...

What’s the Difference Between the Porsche 911 Cabriolet and Boxster?

Comparing the 991.1 Carrera S Cabriolet and the 981 Boxster GTS If you’ve ever considered buying a Porsche convertible, you’ve probably asked yourself this question at least once: “What’s the difference between the 911 Cabriolet and the Boxster?” I used to wonder about this a lot myself. I understand the difference between a 4-seater and a 2-seater, and I get the difference between RR and MR layouts. But how do they differ in terms of...
