Our Tesla Has Arrived! (Part 2) | The Drive Is Beyond Expectations—Has It Outdone Porsche?

In Part 1, I shared my first impressions, from delivery and a tour of the interior and exterior to driving around town using the one-pedal driving mode. This time, I’ll focus on how the Model 3 feels on the highway and on winding roads. On the Highway: Like Riding the Shinkansen “Nozomi” On the highway, the Model 3 feels just like riding the Shinkansen’s “Nozomi” service. It accelerates smoothly away from the tollbooth and reaches...

In this article, I’ll take you through delivery day, walk around the exterior and interior, and share my impressions of how it drives on winding roads—something I couldn’t gauge during the test drive.

2024 Porsche Panamera Review: A True Sports Sedan with Superb Performance and Comfort

I recently had the chance totest-drive the new Porsche Panamera. This will be a brief review, but I’d like to share my impressions. The new Panamera has finally arrived in Japan. I drove the base model, which had only just landed in the country. A More Refined Design After Its Mid-Cycle Update Rather than a complete redesign, the new Panamera is best described as amajor mid-cycle update—the facelifted version of the 971 generation. The Panamera...

Test-Driving the Porsche Taycan Base Model: How Does It Compare with the 4S and Above?

What Is the Base-Model Porsche Taycan Like? I recently had the chance to test-drive the base-model Porsche Taycan. The Taycan comes in a wide range of trims, but I’ve driven nearly all of them—including the Turbo S, Turbo, GTS, and 4S. The only model I hadn’t tried was the Taycan 4. I was able to borrow the base model for a few days, so here’s a closer look at how it compares with the other...

A Tesla Is Coming Home｜Why a Porsche Owner Ordered a Tesla Model 3

Discovering the Appeal of EVs in the Porsche Taycan It’s been a month since our Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo arrived. My wife drives it most of the time, but I get behind the wheel now and then, and it’s given me a fresh appreciation for what makes EVs so appealing. Of course, EVs have their drawbacks. But for everyday driving, they’re so convenient that it’s hard to see what a gasoline or diesel car does...

Porsche Taycan Turbo S Review: The Taycan That Feels Most Like a 911

The Turbo S Sits at the Top of the Taycan Lineup I got behind the wheel of the Porsche Taycan Turbo S, the flagship model in the Taycan range. At the time of this drive, it was the most powerful Taycan—and an astonishing car. It’s fast, agile, comfortable, and easy to live with. That was my first impression. The dimensions are the same as those of other Taycan models, but the power is in a...

Test-Driving the Porsche Taycan GTS: How Does It Compare with the 4S Cross Turismo?

A friend recently bought a Porsche Taycan GTS and invited me along for a drive. Here’s my impression from behind the wheel—and how it compares with the Taycan 4S Cross Turismo we have at home. How My Friend Ended Up Buying a Taycan GTS My friend had been driving a BMW 320i for five years and 50,000 km, and was thinking about moving up to a BMW 4 Series M440i Coupe. But then, he found...

Comparing the Porsche 911 GT3 (991.2, Manual): A Back-to-Back Look at Old and New

I recently had the chance to drive a manual Porsche 911 GT3 from the 991.2 generation. Here’s my review, with comparisons to the 996-generation GT3. Porsche 996 GT3 vs. 991 GT3 In my previous article, I wrote about taking the 996 GT3 for a test drive and how impressed I was. Before that excitement had even worn off, I got the chance to drive a later-generation 991 GT3. I used to own a manual 991.2...

Driving the 996-Generation Porsche 911 GT3, Phase 2 We’ve driven a wide range of 911s for this blog, from the original model to the latest 992-generation GT3, but our coverage of the 996 and 997 generations is still relatively limited. So far, our 996 coverage has been limited to drives in a Phase 2 Carrera 4S and a Phase 1 Carrera 4. This time, we had the chance to drive a beautifully preserved, completely original...

My First Track Day in a 718 Cayman T: A Beginner’s Impressions of Fuji Speedway

I recently took part in a 911days track event and drove Fuji Speedway in a 718 Cayman T. I’ve driven at Fuji Speedway several times before, but this was my first time there in a Cayman T. My previous track cars include a 981 Boxster GTS, a 991 GT3, an early 991 Carrera 4 GTS, and a 992 Cabriolet. Taking a 2.0-Liter Base Engine on Track I’ve written before that I thought the base-model 718...
