Test Driving the Porsche Panamera GTS (971 Model): My Impressions

971 Panamera GTS The other day, I had the opportunity to test drive the Panamera GTS (971). Personally, I’ve always loved the 970 Panamera GTS I occasionally see around my neighborhood—the engine sound is fantastic, and I’ve always thought the raised rear spoiler looks really cool. So, how does the 971 Panamera GTS feel? Actually, last fall I participated in Porsche’s driving school (Porsche Track Experience) and got to test drive a Panamera GTS for...

Porsche Panamera|Reflections After 4 Years of Ownership

Car Life at Seven Months Pregnant Time flies—I’m already seven months pregnant, and my belly has grown quite large. Recently, I’ve really noticed how much my thought process has changed compared to before pregnancy. The human body is truly a fascinating thing. I’ve always been the type to enjoy new challenges and adventures, but now, those feelings have mostly faded. It feels like all the male hormones inside me have completely vanished, replaced entirely by...

Test Driving the Porsche Boxster GTS (981) with PDK and Sports Chassis

The other day, my husband had the opportunity to drive a 981 Boxster GTS with the Sports Chassis option, and he wrote about his impressions. Please have a look if you’re interested. Porsche Boxster with Sports Chassis One afternoon, when we went to Royu Driveway in the 981 Boxster GTS (MT), we happened to meet a blog reader who was driving a Boxster GTS (981, PDK). While chatting, we learned that this reader’s Boxster GTS...

Test Drive: BMW 320d M Sport (F30 Model)

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...

Porsche Panamera: The Perfect Balance of Comfort and Sportiness

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…...

Finally Getting the Hang of the Porsche 911 GT3!

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....

Porsche 911 GTS (991 Late Model) Test Drive – A Wife’s Everyday Use Review

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)....

Porsche? No, This Is a RUF! Test Driving the RUF RCT

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...

What Happens When I, a 981 Boxster GTS Driver, Take the 718 Boxster GTS for a Spin?

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...
