Welcome Home, TESLA! (Part 1)|Tesla Model 3 Highland Long Range Delivery!

Test Drive of the Porsche Taycan Base Model: What Sets It Apart from the 4S and Above?

What Is the Porsche Taycan Base Model? This time, I had the opportunity to test drive the base model of the Porsche Taycan. The Taycan comes in various trims, but so far, I’ve experienced almost every model except the Taycan 4, including the Turbo S, Turbo, GTS, and 4S. Having borrowed the base model for a few days, I’d like to focus this report on the differences compared to the other trims. To get straight...

Tesla Comes Home | Why a Porsche Owner Ordered a Tesla Model 3

The Appeal of EVs Felt Through the Porsche Taycan It’s been a month since the Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo arrived at our home. My wife mainly drives it, but I’ve had the chance to drive it occasionally, and I’ve come to appreciate the charm of EVs all over again. Certainly, EVs have their downsides. However, for everyday travel, EVs are so convenient that it’s hard to find advantages in gasoline or diesel cars. The biggest...

Porsche Taycan Turbo S Test Drive|The Closest Taycan to a 911!

Turbo S: The Top of the Taycan Lineup This time, I test drove the Porsche Taycan’s top-tier model, the Turbo S. Currently, it’s the most powerful grade in the Taycan lineup, and it’s truly an incredible car. Fast, nimble, comfortable, and easy to use. That’s the impression I got. First, the specs: the body size is the same as other Taycans. However, the power is in a league of its own. It produces 625 horsepower...

This time, I had the opportunity to drive the late-model 991 Porsche 911 GT3 (MT), so I’d like to share my review while comparing it with the 996 GT3. 996 GT3 vs 991 GT3 In my previous article, I wrote about how impressed I was after test-driving the 996 GT3, and before that excitement faded, I got the chance to drive the late-model 991 GT3. Speaking of the late 991 GT3 (MT), I once owned...

Test Drive of the Late Model 996 Porsche 911 GT3 On this blog, we have test-driven various 911s from the original to the latest 992 GT3, but reports on the 996 and 997 models are still scarce.

This time, I had the opportunity to test drive a pristine, original-condition late-model 996 GT3, and I’d like to share...

The Driving Excellence of the Porsche Taycan: What I Learned After a Month and a Half

It’s been nearly a month and a half since my wife bought the Taycan. We occasionally drive it on the Royu Driveway, use it for commuting, and family outings. This time, I want to talk about the driving appeal of the Taycan. I’ll save a detailed report on its usability as an EV for another occasion. Our Taycan is the Cross Turismo 4S. It produces 490 PS under normal conditions, with a maximum output of...
