How to buy a Porsche

Real experience of those who switched from 981 Boxster to 718 Boxster. There is no right or wrong answer to Porsche purchase.

From 981 to 718

The other day, I was talking to a Porsche owner.

That person is.I was riding the 981 Boxster Black Edition (PDK) before, but the other day I switched to the 718 Spider (MT).

When I switched from the 981 Boxster to the 718 Boxster, I had a lot of trouble,

・ I want to drive a manual Porsche
・ I was attracted to the coolness of the 718 design.
・ The 718 Spider is equipped with a 4.0-liter NA engine.

So, it seems that he decided to change trains after repeated test rides.

After a few months, I had the opportunity to talk for the first time in a long time.How about the 718 Spider?When I asked him, he said something like this.

When I first got on the 718 Spider, I felt it was completely different from the 981. The 981 is supple, but the 718 is very solid.
The handling performance has also improved considerably, "It ’s an evolution."I felt that. The design is cool, I like it, and I'm glad I bought it.

When. And then he said, "But ...".

As I thought.I liked the 981 better for the engine sound and feeling.I wonder.
The engine sound of the 718 Spider is very loud at the time of starting and idling, but it suddenly becomes quiet when it starts running, and when it exceeds 4000 rpm, the valve opens and the sound becomes louder.
It doesn't feel like the engine sound rises naturally and smoothly, but the sound quality is completely different from 981, so now I'm saying "I want to hear the engine sound of that 981 againI have thought that (laughs)
another thing,"I wonder if I should attach a valve controllerI'm worried, but if you attach the valve controller, the vehicle inspection will pass, but when you extend the certification warranty, you need to remove it (the correspondence may be different for each dealer), which is also troublesome I wonder if ...

And.

Also, since the 718 Spider has less sound insulation material, it seems that when it is quiet and you can not hear the exhaust sound, you can always hear the sound of pebbles and mechanical noise.

It seems that they were purchased after knowing and understanding them in advance.He said that there are many things that can only be understood by actually owning it.

718 Spider +981, 991.1?

Regarding the engine sound, I often miss the 981, but that person said like this.

I have no regrets after switching.The running and performance of the 718 Spider is excellent, the design is cool, and the bucket seats are nice and satisfying.
On the other hand.Because I bought the 718, the 981's creature feeling, engine sound, and feeling are wonderful.I have come to realize it more.
I could understand the charm of each because I knew both of them. So I'm glad I bought it.

And.

However, it seems that he is currently considering increasing the number of 981 Boxster and 911 early model 911 after owning the 718 Spider (laugh)

However, in the case of the base grade 981, that is more important."PASM" "Sports Chrono" "Sports Exhaust"Even if there are almost no individuals with the three options, or if there is something that I think is good in the first half of 991, the posting will end immediately after the notification of posting comes, or even if I call immediately, "I'm in a business talkIt seems that it may be sold as it is.

Everyone, you may be busy with your work, but it's amazing that the reaction is so fast ... w

I think it's hard to know which car suits you and what you want from it until you actually own it.

I can't see it just by test driveThere are many things that you can feel with your skin when you start riding the car in your daily life.I wonder if.

And like this time, even if I change and think about various things, it does not mean that I failed.It will be utilized in choosing the next car and will lead to encounters with cars that are more satisfying to you.Probably.

In fact, my husband is often consulted about purchasing Porsche these days, but at the beginning, at the beginning,

"Ah, that option was a must, I should have added it." "I added this, but I didn't need it." "The sheet is really important! Let's do this next time!"

It seems that what he wants is gradually becoming clearer.

No, the car is really deep in the swamp ... (laughs)
