The Boxster: Porsche at Its Most Joyful — What Makes a Porsche Fun to Drive?

A Boxster Road Trip: A Fresh Perspective The other day, I took my 981-generation Boxster GTS out for a road trip for the first time in a while. I get the chance to drive all kinds of Porsches, but this trip reminded me just how special it is to tour in a Boxster. It also got me thinking about a question I’d like to explore in this article: What makes a Porsche truly fun? 【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！...

What Does It Really Cost to Charge an EV at Home? Our Real-World Report As electric vehicles (EVs) become more common, one question on many people’s minds is how much they actually cost to run—especially when it comes to electricity. In this report, I’ll share what we paid to charge our two EVs at home: a Porsche Taycan 4S Cross Turismo and a Tesla Model 3 Highland Long Range. The short answer? We drove these...

New Porsche Taycan 4 Cross Turismo Review: A Taycan Owner Explains What’s Changed

The New Taycan Is Better Across the Board Our family owns the previous-generation Taycan 4S Cross Turismo. I recently had the chance to drive the updated Taycan, so I’m going to take a closer look at what’s changed. The new Taycan delivers improvements in almost every area. It has more powerful motors, greater range, quicker acceleration, and faster charging. Stability and hardware have also been upgraded. Acceleration is dramatically better across the entire lineup. Models...

Porsche 911 GT3 (997.1) Review: What Makes It Special and How It Evolved

First Impressions of the 997.1 GT3 I had the chance to drive an early 997-generation Porsche 911 GT3, a standout model in the GT3 lineage. In a nutshell, it feels less demanding than the later 997 GT3, yet stiffer and more advanced than the late 996 GT3. Starting the engine makes it clear that Porsche gave the exhaust note more attention than in the 996. The engine fires up with a bold “zwoom”. It’s quieter...

A Porsche That Puts the Driver’s Skill to the Test: Driving the 986 Boxster S

I recently had the chance to drive a 986 Boxster S with a six-speed manual transmission, which my husband introduced on the blog earlier, on the Royu Driveway. It’s a charming little Boxster with a mid-mounted engine, 252 horsepower, and a compact, lightweight body. My verdict? It’s a Porsche that reflects the driver’s skill in every move. The way it drives is a direct expression of the person behind the wheel. It was a truly...

BMW M3 CSL (E46) Review: Driving a Rare SMG-to-Manual Conversion

Meeting a Legendary M3 CSL Converted to a Manual This time, I’m stepping away from Porsche to review a BMW M3 CSL I had the chance to drive. And this was no ordinary M3 CSL. It was a 2003 E46 M3 CSL, one of only around 150 imported to Japan—and an exceptionally rare example converted to a manual transmission. BMW has always held a special place in my heart. I once owned an E36 318is,...

For Porsche Diehards: Discover the Charm of the 986 Boxster

The Porsche Boxster 986 I’m fortunate to own a 981 Boxster GTS that I absolutely adore. But this time, I had the chance to drive its ancestor: the original 986 Boxster. The exterior is silver, likely Arctic Silver, while the interior features Terracotta leather, a rich reddish orange. The color combination brings the Carrera GT to mind, and it looks fantastic. Both the exterior and interior are in remarkably good condition, and the car has...

A Porsche Owner’s Custom Abarth 595: A Test Drive Review

I recently had the chance to test-drive a truly fascinating car: an Abarth 595 customized by a Porsche owner. The owner is a fellow Porsche enthusiast whose cars I’ve had the pleasure of reviewing several times. He’s especially passionate about Porsche, so I was intrigued to hear that he’d bought an Abarth 595—and then customized it. As a rule, we don’t feature cars that have been extensively modified. The reason is simple: modifications can make...

Touring Okayama’s Regional Farm Roads in a Tesla: Is a Tesla Road Trip Really Fun?

Living With a Tesla Model 3: First Impressions and Everyday Use It’s hard to believe that my Tesla Model 3 has already been with us for a month. I’ve gotten used to the controls and now drive it without a second thought. I’m still impressed by how convenient it is. Just get in and press the brake pedal: the car automatically selects Drive or Reverse, so there’s no need to shift gears. For a quick...
