How Has Our New Porsche 911 (992) Changed After Nine Months of Ownership?

Getting Back Behind the Wheel of Our 911 Cabriolet (992) We have a 911 Cabriolet (992) at home. My husband has driven it around 5,000 km so far, while I only take it out occasionally. He often asks me, “Why don’t you drive it more!?” But most of my trips are just a few minutes from home—to the supermarket or to pick up our child from kindergarten—so I find myself thinking, “It seems a shame...
