During this trip, I found myself deeply reflecting on the question, “What makes a Porsche truly enjoyable?” and decided to share my thoughts in this article. 【ライブ配信まとめ】Vol.51：ポルシェ・ボクスターで行く絶景ツーリング！ On long-distance...

First Impressions of the 997 Early Model GT3 This time, I had the opportunity to test drive the Porsche 911 997 early model GT3. This car stands out notably within the GT3 series. To conclude upfront, while it’s not as demanding as the 997 late model GT3, compared to the 996 late model GT3, it feels more rigid in the body and shows clear advancements in performance. When you get in and start the engine,...

This time, on the Royu Driveway, I had the chance to test drive the 986 Boxster S, 6-speed manual, which my husband previously introduced on the blog. Featuring a mid-engine layout, 252 horsepower, and a compact, lightweight body, this adorable Boxster really stands out. In conclusion, it was a “Porsche that truly reflects the driver’s skill.” This is exactly the kind of car where the driver’s technique directly shows in how the car performs. It...

For the Passionate Porsche Enthusiasts: Exploring the Charm of the 986 Boxster

Porsche Boxster 986 Model I truly adore the 981 Boxster GTS, but this time, I was fortunate enough to get behind the wheel of its ancestor, the first-generation 986 Boxster. The body color is a silver that appears to be Arctic Silver. The interior is a terracotta leather, a reddish-orange hue reminiscent of the Carrera GT—truly stunning. Both exterior and interior are in excellent condition, with only about 40,000 kilometers on the clock. This is...

This time, I had the opportunity to test drive a very intriguing car. It is an Abarth 595 customized by a Porsche owner. The owner is a Porsche friend whose car I have reviewed several times before. He has a deep passion for Porsche, yet he purchased an Abarth 595 and went on to customize it extensively. Usually, this blog refrains from covering cars with extensive customizations because it’s hard to convey the true nature...

Meeting the Tesla Model 3 and Daily Driving Impressions It’s already been a month since the Tesla Model 3 arrived. I’ve gotten used to the controls and can now drive it completely naturally without any discomfort. Time and again, I’m impressed by Tesla’s high level of convenience. Just getting in the car and pressing the brake pedal lets it automatically decide between D or R without needing to shift gears. When stopping at a convenience...
