The Loaner Was a 320d (F30 Model) The other day, when I took my BMW 320i in for its one-year inspection, they kindly lent me a 320d (F30 model) as a loaner. I had expected a compact car or something similar as a loaner for such inspections, so I was pleasantly surprised to receive such a nice car. Thank you very much! Both my husband and I got to drive this 320d a little, so...
Panamera, After a Wash Perhaps due to pollen and yellow dust, the Panamera had gotten quite dirty, so I decided to have it hand-washed at our usual nearby gas station. Since it was dirtier than usual, I opted for the premium wash that helps repel dirt after cleaning. The Panamera’s wash was completed in about an hour, and when I went to pick it up, it was shining like a brand-new car. I’m so grateful…...
My First Drive in the 911 GT3 in a While The other day, I drove the Porsche 911 GT3 for the first time in a while. I hadn’t driven since late last year due to morning sickness, and even after feeling better, I hadn’t gotten behind the wheel—so it was probably about six months since my last drive. In the past, just the thought of the GT3 intimidated me, and I couldn’t drive it properly....
ポルシェ911 GTS（PDK）を試乗させて頂くことができた。わが家の911GT3とどのくらい違うものなのか、パドルシフトで運転してみた感想などを書いた記事。
911 Carrera GTS The other day, my husband was able to borrow a 911 Carrera GTS from an acquaintance, and I got to drive it for a while. Today, I’m sharing my impressions from that experience. I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to regularly drive various Porsches in this environment—it’s a rare and valuable experience. I’d like to take this chance to thank my husband’s acquaintances here (though I doubt they read this blog, haha)....
My husband often gets the chance to ride in cars owned by acquaintances or blog readers (lucky him, right? lol), but this time he got to drive a very rare Porsche called a “RUF.” Since I’m still new to Porsche and didn’t know the name RUF, when my husband excitedly told me, “I got to ride in a RUF!” I responded with, “Huh? Nissan Roof? (-_-)” (You mean Nissan Leaf, actually). So, I asked him...
718 Boxster GTS About a year ago, I had the chance to drive a friend of my husband’s 718 Boxster GTS (MT). However, at that time, I wasn’t very confident driving a manual car, so my husband warned me on the spot: Mina, better not. You’ll break the clutch. Reluctantly, I gave up on driving the 718 Boxster GTS. That moment became the trigger for me to say, “I absolutely must learn to drive a...
My husband recently had the chance to drive a friend’s Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS, and he shared his impressions. The 911 Targa is a car I once admired deeply. Please have a look if you’re interested. Test Drive: 911 Targa 4 GTS Not long ago, he had a brief opportunity to drive the early model (991.1) Targa 4 GTS. Around the same time, he had borrowed a late model (991.2) Carrera GTS from an...
The other day, I wrote an article titled “Spent a Day with the 718 Cayman. Is the Base Cayman Really Worth Buying?”, and today I’d like to share the follow-up. 718 Cayman Test Drive How’s the Ride Without PASM Suspension? I’ve previously written an article about whether the PASM option is necessary. This particular 718 Cayman didn’t have PASM, but my husband said: I definitely don’t think the ride quality is bad. This time it...
Test Driving the 718 Cayman The other day, as a loaner car during the GT3’s one-year inspection, I was able to borrow a 718 Cayman for a full day. Both my spouse and I took turns driving it, so I’ll share my impressions from a female perspective—how my wife would feel using the Cayman as a daily driver—and my husband will share his thoughts from the viewpoint of a Porsche enthusiast and driver. This loaner...
