One fine day, my husband casually went for a drive on the Royu Driveway, and ended up alongside a 911 Turbo, hit it off with the owner, and they swapped cars for a spin.

How Does a Porsche Owner Feel Driving His Brother’s New Alphard?

The other day, my husband got to drive my younger brother’s Alphard, and he wrote an article sharing his impressions from the test drive.

Why an Alphard? My younger brother, who occasionally appears on this blog, apparently bought another car following his...

Testing the Porsche 911 GT3 at Okayama International Circuit

My husband recently took the GT3 out for a spin at Okayama International Circuit. He wrote up his impressions, so please have a look if you’re interested. Heading to the Track with the GT3 Since last year, we’ve been members of the official Porsche owners’ club, Porsche Club Japan. Normally, I’m not a fan of group activities—I prefer being on my own—so joining something like this is unusual for me. That said, this was my...

Test Drive of the New Mercedes-Benz GLS400d

Test Drive of the New Mercedes-Benz GLS Lately, our family has started to take an interest in SUVs, and recently, my husband and I had the chance to test drive one of the SUVs we were curious about: the Mercedes-Benz GLS. Our family has always been loyal to Porsche, but I’ve recently come to think that maybe an SUV doesn’t need to be so sporty. Since we already have sporty cars like the GT3, an...

The Porsche Panamera Truly Shines on Rainy Days on the Highway

Driving the Panamera in the Rain The other day, I had the chance to drive the Panamera on the highway in the rain. While driving, I kept thinking, “the Panamera’s stability is really something else…” The joints on the highway were no cause for concern at all, and with its all-wheel drive and solid feel, I was once again reminded just how wonderful this car is. Since I was driving on the Hanshin Expressway Route...

My Brother’s Ferrari GTC4 Lusso T Has Arrived: A Porsche Owner’s Perspective

The other day, my brother-in-law came over in his newly delivered Ferrari GTC4 Lusso T. I’m already nine months pregnant with a big belly, and lately I get carsick when riding in sporty cars (though I’m fine when I’m driving myself…), so only my husband got to ride this time. That said, my husband wrote down his impressions from the test drive, so please have a look if you’re interested. My brother, who had been...

What I Learned About the Porsche 911 GT3’s Charms After One Year of Ownership

Once Again, the Porsche 911 GT3 Lately, I’ve been driving the GT3 about once a month, and each time I get behind the wheel, I’m struck by the feeling of “Yes, this is it!” and a fresh wave of amazement thinking, “So this is another side of its charm!” It really makes me realize how profoundly deep Porsche is as a brand, and how truly special the GT3 is as a car. The other day,...

Test Drive of the Porsche Cayenne Coupe (Part 1)｜How’s the Ride and Usability?

Porsche Cayenne Coupe The other day, I had the chance to test drive the Cayenne Coupe. Now that June has arrived and the kids have started elementary school and kindergarten, I finally have some free time in the mornings. So my husband and I took that opportunity to go for a drive together. I wonder how many years it’s been since just the two of us went for a test drive… Usually, with the kids...
