Has the New Porsche 911 (992) Become Just a Passenger Car? A Porsche Owner’s Perspective

About the Porsche 911 (992) When test drives for the current 911 (992) first began, I occasionally came across less-than-favorable reviews saying things like, “The 992 is so easy to drive it’s become just a passenger car” or “The 992 isn’t fun anymore.” But is that really the case?

Driving Position of the Porsche 911 (992)｜How Does It Compare to the 991 and 981?

Driving Position of the Porsche 911 The other day, my husband came home after driving the 911 Cabriolet (992) and started talking about it. The ride of the 992 is firm but smooth.

It might be the easiest driving position to get comfortable with...

(Lucky him, right? lol) Among those opportunities, thanks to the kindness of a blog reader, I was able...

Panamera or Cayenne? The other day, a Porsche owner I often talk with asked me this question. Mina, who has always loved the Panamera, is now driving a Cayenne, but honestly, which do you think is better, the Panamera or the Cayenne? I know it’s a tough question and hard to answer simply, but I wanted to hear your thoughts. That was the question. At that moment, I couldn’t come up with a clear answer...
