The Charm of the Porsche 997 GT3: Rediscovering the Joy of Analog Driving!

For some reason, this blog has very few articles about the 997 or 987 models.It’s not that I dislike them—in fact, I’m quite interested in these Porsches—but surprisingly few people around me own them, so opportunities for coverage have been limited. This time, a reader kindly requested a feature, so I took the opportunity to test drive one and will share my report.As always, even though it’s a feature, I intend to write honestly without...

Recently, I had the opportunity to test drive the 992 Turbo S. I’ve written a test drive report on the 992 Turbo S before, but some time has passed since then, and I believe my experience and impressions have evolved. So, I’d like to share again the true appeal of the Turbo S. Porsche 911 Turbo S For Porsche, the “Turbo” grade doesn’t simply mean a turbocharged car. Proof of this is that even the...

Is Your Porsche Macan Early, Mid, or Late Model? Thoughts from Driving an Early Macan Turbo

Early Macan Turbo The Macan has a long model history and has undergone two minor facelifts so far. Currently, the...

Range Rover Autobiography P530 Test Drive Report

My younger brother, who occasionally appears on this blog, recently purchased a Range Rover Autobiography, so I’d like to share a test drive report. Switching from the GLS580 This Range Rover was purchased as a replacement for the GLS580, which I previously introduced on this blog. Thanks to its long wheelbase, the size is quite massive, comparable to the GLS. However, when viewed from the front, the width doesn’t visually appear to exceed 2 meters....

Porsche 911 Carrera T It’s been almost two months since the Porsche 911 Carrera T arrived at our home.

Is This the Perfect Machine!? A Porsche Owner’s Take on the 992 Carrera T Test Drive

The Perfect Carrera T The other day, my husband took the Carrera T (MT) to Royu, and had the pleasure of letting TAKURO-san, a fellow Porsche owner we always appreciate, drive it. TAKURO-san was incredibly impressed, saying things like “This is the perfect machine!” “So nice, so nice, I want one!” “C-can I have another go!?” “This is the Porsche I want most right now!”—he was full of praise, so my husband suggested, “Why don’t...

Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS (992) Test Drive Review: How Does It Differ from the Base Model?

This time, I’d like to review the 992 Targa 4 GTS that I happened to test drive during my recent Kyushu tour. 992 Targa 4 GTS The Porsche 992 Targa 4 GTS is a unique model within the GTS lineup. The reason is that, unlike other GTS models, it does not come standard with the PASM sport suspension, but only the regular PASM suspension. This is related to the fact that the Targa model, having...
