My Brother Took Delivery of a Ferrari GTC4Lusso T: What Does a Porsche Owner Think?

The other day, my brother-in-law came over in his brand-new Ferrari GTC4Lusso T. I was already nine months pregnant, and sporty cars have been making me feel queasy lately (though I’m fine when I’m the one driving…), so this time my husband was the only one who got a ride. He’s written up his impressions of the test drive, so please read on if you’re interested. My younger brother had been waiting for his Ferrari...

Porsche Cayenne Coupe Review (Part 2): Engine and Driving Impressions

The other day, I published Part 1 of my review of the Porsche Cayenne Coupe. Now it’s finally time for the eagerly awaited second half, featuring my husband’s impressions. During a brief break in the rainy season, we were lucky enough to test-drive the new Cayenne Coupe on a rare sunny day. The model was the S, officially named the Cayenne S Coupe. Compared with the standard Cayenne, the Coupe has a more gently sloping...

What Makes the Porsche 911 GT3 Special: One Year of Ownership

Rediscovering the Porsche 911 GT3 Lately, I’ve been getting behind the wheel of the GT3 about once a month. Every time, it brings back that familiar thrill—“Yes, this is exactly how it feels!”—along with new moments of discovery: “I never realized it could be this appealing!” Porsche, and the GT3 in particular, really is a car with remarkable depth. The other day, my husband rode in the passenger seat while I drove. I wondered, “I...

Test-Driving the Porsche Cayenne Coupe (Part 1) | Comfort and Everyday Usability

Porsche Cayenne Coupe The other day, I had the chance to test-drive a Cayenne Coupe. June had arrived, and with the kids back at elementary school and kindergarten, I finally had some free time in the mornings. So my husband and I decided to make the most of it and go for a drive together. How long had it been since the two of us went on a test drive alone? Usually, we’re busy responding...

Why Car Seats Matter for Comfort and Safety

The Panamera’s Seats The other day, while we were out in our Panamera, my husband said: “The Panamera is a fantastic car, but there’s one thing I just can’t get on with: these 14-way power seats with memory.” He’s often said that the Panamera’s seats don’t quite suit him. Until recently, I’d always replied, “Really? They feel perfectly comfortable to me.” But then I got to drive a Panamera GTS with 18-way power adaptive sport...

A Passenger Ride in the 1,948-Unit Limited-Edition 911 Speedster (991)

Well, would you believe it? The other day, my husband got to ride in an acquaintance’s 911 Speedster and wrote about the experience. I have to admit, I’m incredibly jealous! Read on for his impressions. The 911 Speedster: Limited to 1,948 Units A little while ago, an acquaintance told us that their 911 Speedster had been delivered. But time passed, and we still hadn’t had a chance to see the car in person. This special...

How Tire Pressure, Wheels, and Tires Transform Ride Comfort

The Ride in Our Panamera The other day, I took our Panamera out for the first time in a while. Shortly before that, I’d had the chance to drive a Panamera GTS, and by comparison, the GTS felt more comfortable than our Panamera Turbo. The Panamera GTS’s ride reminded me of the smoothness of the current Cayenne. It was so light and effortlessly smooth that it was hard to believe it had the same V8....

Porsche Panamera GTS (971) vs. Turbo: What’s the Difference?

The other day, I shared my impressions after test-driving the Panamera GTS. This time, I’d like to share my husband’s take on it. What the “GTS” Badge Means I’d been especially keen to try the 971-generation Panamera GTS, so I was delighted to get the chance. Since we own a Panamera Turbo, I’ll focus on how the two compare. The GTS badge has a special place in Porsche’s lineup. Its roots go back to the...

What I Learned Driving the Porsche Panamera GTS (971)

The 971 Panamera GTS The other day, I had the chance to take a Porsche Panamera GTS (971) for a drive. I’ve always had a soft spot for the 970 Panamera GTS I occasionally see around my neighborhood. Its engine note is fantastic, and I’ve always thought it looked great with the rear spoiler raised. So, what is the 971 Panamera GTS like? I actually got to drive a Panamera GTS for about a minute...

Porsche Panamera: What Four Years of Ownership Taught Me

Life with a Car at Seven Months Pregnant Time flies—I’m already seven months pregnant, and my bump has grown quite a bit. Lately, I’ve realized just how much my way of thinking has changed since before pregnancy. The human body really is amazing. I’ve always been someone who enjoys trying new things and taking on challenges. These days, though, I don’t feel that same urge as much. It’s almost as if all the male hormones...
