."Compared to Europe and the U.S., Japan has a very low percentage of people who choose Cabriolet among 911 models.I have heard that the ratio of coupes and cabriolets is about 50-50 in Europe and the United States. In the case of Porsche, the ratio of coupes and cabriolets is about 50-50 in Europe and the United States, but in Japan, it is said to be a whopping 10%. Certainly, there are few opportunities to see convertibles on the streets of Japan.
I used to think that when I saw someone in a convertible, I would say, "I guess he likes to play it cool.I sometimes looked at them a little coldly, saying, "I'm sorry.(...sorry)I wonder if many people might not choose the open model because of these surroundings and the way the neighborhood looks at them.
In fact, even after the arrival of the convertible Boxster at our house, I was still reluctant to drive with the roof open for a while, and I was not a fan of the idea ofThey'll think you're a bad driver and you're on a roll."I don't want to stand out, but I also don't want to draw attention to myself in a weird way.Many times, I would go to an empty place such as Ashiu and finally open the roof.(Looking back on it now, I'm not even self-conscious about it.)
However, once you experience driving in the open in good weather, the feeling becomes addictive.It's something that makes me want to open the roof.(Laughs.) I still feel somewhat embarrassed about it, but I have come to run almost every time in the open.
The other day, a 911 Cabriolet was delivered to our house. The heat had eased off just in time for the season, so I drove around the neighborhood on a nice day with the car open, and it was a pleasant experience.
So, here is a little summary of what I have learned from my experience with convertibles such as the Boxster and 911 Cabriolet.
Until I got in the convertible."A woman with long hair is in trouble, as if she were in the middle of a typhoonThere was an image of "the
In fact, as for the Boxster (981/718), it is said that wind roll-in is quite common, but I do not have long hair (about a bob), so this level of wind roll-in does not bother me. However, if a woman with long hair drives a Boxster at high speeds on highways, etc., I think the wind roll-in would be quite noticeable.
Meanwhile, as for the 992 911 Cabriolet.Window diffuser that comes out of the back seat at the push of a buttonThanks to the "wind", there is virtually no wind entrainment. I was surprised that there was not much wind roll-in, not only in the city, but also on the passing lane of the highway.
In this regard, the 911 Cabriolet (992) installment of the Loperaio Channel also states, "No wind entrapment! Amazing!!!He was introduced as "the
However, if there are people in the back seat, it is not possible to give this diffuser and the wind entrainment in the back seat is on the normal side.(My daughter had a hard time with her hair clinging to her face when she got in the back seat.)
Driving a convertible in coupe style and driving one with the roof open are so completely different that it is hard to believe that they are the same car. My husband used to drive
Cabriolet.It is good to be able to enjoy different attractions as if you owned two cars in one.When I want to ride calmly and steadily, I close the roof, and when the weather is fine or there is a good view, I open the roof. Opening and closing the roof gives you a double treat.
but I really think that's true.
Until I got in a convertible, I was like, "I wonder if it will be cold in midwinter. I wonder if it would still be more runnable in midsummer.I thought I was going to be able to do that, but it was quite the opposite. If I run with the roof open in midsummer, I really feel my life is in danger...the direct sunlight is too hot, I almost get heat stroke, and I get a great sunburn, so I run without the roof open in midsummer.
On the other hand, it is surprisingly not cold in the middle of winter. Wearing a down coat and having the heaters on or heated seats is very comfortable.
Rather, it has a head-cold, feet-heat feeling, as if you are taking an open-air bath on a cold winter day, a feeling that is only possible in winter. Driving on a winter morning when the air is clean, the air is very refreshing and very comfortable.
My husband said about the convertible.
I used to be a crazy convertible hater.I don't understand the point of all that stuff.I was even saying "I'm not a fan of the roof," but when I actually owned one, it changed my mind 180 degrees. Now I feel like I'm missing out on something with a model that doesn't have an open roof.
My GT3 is only available as a coupe, so it doesn't have a roof, but I often wish it had one. When I am driving in traffic or in the city, it is not fun at all, and I would rather drive an eco-friendly car that is more comfortable.
But.The same situation would not be true if the roof were open.The sound of the engine can be heard directly, and just feeling the wind and light makes me feel all the more refreshed. It is so different that a weekday becomes a holiday (laughs).
Also, I thought I didn't like the way people looked at me.(as much as I think I do)I realized that people don't look at me that much. I think I was a little self-conscious until I got in the convertible.
He says. I see...!
I, too, would love to drive a Boxster or 911 Cabriolet in the open on the wonderful roads of Tohoku, Koshinetsu, Shikoku, etc., under a bright blue sky.
