The other day, my husband had the opportunity to test-drive a 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 and wrote up his impressions. We hope you enjoy reading them. Test-Driving the Porsche 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 The other day, I took my GT3 to the dealership for an oil change and was told they had a 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 available for a test drive. I jumped at the chance. My drive was brief, but here are my...
Panamera or Cayenne? The other day, a fellow Porsche owner I know well asked me a question. Mina has always loved the Panamera, but now she drives a Cayenne. Honestly, which do you think is better: the Panamera or the Cayenne? I know it’s a difficult question, and there’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but I’d love to hear your thoughts. That was the question. I was caught off guard and gave an answer that probably made...
My husband recently had the chance to drive a Taycan on a race track, and he’s written about the experience. We hope you enjoy reading his impressions. Driving the Taycan I’d already seen the Porsche Taycan in person several times at previews and exhibitions, but this was something else entirely. I was about to get behind the wheel of a Taycan that hadn’t yet gone on sale in Japan. And not just anywhere—it was a...
It’s hard to believe a month has already passed since our 911 Cabriolet (992) was delivered. My husband has been driving it almost every day, and he’s written about his impressions after the first month of ownership. We hope you enjoy reading them. One Month with the 911 Cabriolet Since taking delivery of our Porsche 911, I’ve been driving it as often as possible—commuting, running everyday errands, and heading to Royu on Sundays—to reach the...
Taking the Cayenne on the Highway The other day, my family and I took our Cayenne E-Hybrid to Awaji Island. We didn’t have anything specific planned, but my husband suggested: “The Cayenne is amazing on the highway. It’s so comfortable, and it has plenty of power. How about heading out toward Awaji Island today? Since we’ve got the Cayenne, why don’t you try driving it on the highway?” So we decided to head to Wellness...
The other day, my husband had the chance to drive an acquaintance’s 911 SC, and he’s written about his impressions. We hope you enjoy the read. Test-Driving the 911 SC (930) The car I was lucky enough to drive this time was a 1981 Porsche 911 SC. SC reportedly stands for “Super Carrera,” and the car is powered by a 3.0-liter air-cooled flat-six. It produces 204 PS at 5,900 rpm and 27 mkg at 4,300...
Inside the 911 Cabriolet Today, I’d like to show you around the interior of our 911 Cabriolet (992), which was delivered last month. My husband described the concept behind this latest 911 Cabriolet as “a refined 911 for grown-ups.” Here’s a rundown of the interior specification and options we chose for our 911 Cabriolet. ・Interior color: Standard Interior in Black/Mojave Beige, Partial Leather ・Interior: Sport Seats, Seat Ventilation (Front), Multifunction GT Sport Steering Wheel, Storage...
Convertibles I’ve heard that in Japan, a far smaller share of 911 buyers choose a Cabriolet than in Europe and North America. Apparently, Porsche sales in those markets are split roughly evenly between coupes and Cabriolets, while in Japan the figure is only around 10 percent. It’s true that you don’t see many convertibles on Japanese streets. Before I owned one, whenever I saw someone driving a convertible, I’d think, “They must really like showing...
My husband has written about his first impressions after driving our newly delivered 911 Cabriolet. We hope you enjoy reading about his Porsche owner experience. First Impressions of the Porsche 911 Cabriolet (992) It’s hard to believe it’s already been about two weeks since our Porsche 911 arrived. We haven’t had a chance to take it on any particularly long trips, but we’ve been fitting in drives whenever we can. Now that we’ve covered around...
Back Behind the Wheel of the Boxster Lately, my husband has often said things that make him sound like a saint: I’ll watch the kids. Go take the car out for a drive. It’ll be a nice change of pace. Of course, he often goes out for a solo drive himself on his days off. But now, when he gets home, he’ll say, “Why don’t you take the car out?” before I even have a...
