Is there such a thing as a Porsche driver? Why a surprisingly large number of owners switch from the latest model to the previous generation.

My Family's Car Life

Porsche Ancestors.

My husband was talking about this the other day.

I'm surrounded by people whoQuite a few people buy a relatively newer model Porsche, experience it, and then switch to an older and older model or add more cars.I think. I guess you could call it an ancestor of Porsche (laughs).
For example, someone may have been driving the latest 991 (992 model) and then gradually moved back to the late 991, early 991, etc., or someone who was driving a 718 may switch to a 981.
Some other car makers are switching from newer models to classic cars, but in Porsche's case.718 to 981, or 992 to 991.I feel like a lot of people are going for the slightly earlier model, like, "I'm not sure I'm going to be able to do that.

And.

Porsche 911

Indeed, looking at all the Porsche owners around my husband, it seems that many of them (including him) own the latest model, realize how great it is, and then go back to a slightly earlier model, even though they have no major complaints in particular.

Why on earth would that be? My husband went on.

."I like cars.I think the word "car" can be defined in one word: some people like to drive, while others like the latest models that are excellent industrial products. There are also those who value design, those who want to display it beautifully in their garage and admire it, and there are really many other types of people.
And if you're a driving enthusiast like me, it's not so much the latest model as it is theMany people like the analog feel, engine feel, and natural, extended engine sound.I think.
The basic performance of a Porsche with its high basic performance and analog feel is really the best. You become a team with the car and feel its performance with all five senses, which is an emotion that cannot be expressed in words.
So, for driving enthusiasts like us, it's not so much the cyborg awesomeness of the latest Porsche.In search of a more natural model with room for human interventionI think they're going to go back to their ancestors.

And.

I may like cars more than most people, but not as much as I love to drive.

."I would be happy if the time spent traveling in a car every day could be enjoyable.I want a car that is fun and reliable in terms of performance, because that's what it feels like.

So when it comes to Porsche, I imagine myself buying one.There is a new type of model with electronic controls that makes driving in any weather and on any road safe and enjoyable.I think.

I know that Porsches such as the 964 are great cars, and my driving skills are directly reflected in them, but when I get in them, I find that I can't help but feel that I have a lot to learn from them.I'm such a bad driver," or, "I just swerved so much on that curve..."There are times when I reflect on things like this, and I wonder if I'm not the right person to own it (sweat).

Knowing the latest and greatest, we know the advantages of analog.

Perhaps the advantages of analog can be better understood by getting to know the latest models.

In fact, a couple of people who have been with us for a long time.He bought a 981 Boxster a few years ago, switched to a 718 Spyder a year ago, and recently switched to a 981 Boxster SpyderThe first time the company was listed on the list, it was listed on the first section of the list.

The person was a very good driver.Maybe she runs more than her husband.He takes time out of his busy work schedule to go for a drive, driving about 20,000 kilometers a year.

When the woman switched from a 981 Boxster to a 718 Spyder a year ago, her husband and others told her that she wasI definitely think the 981 is for you. If you do buy one, why don't you get another model of 981?He ended up buying a 718 Spyder, although he was given a lot of advice to buy a 718 Spyder.

Porsche 718 Spyder

After the 718 Spyder was delivered to you, you realized the great evolution from the 981 in terms of its high performance, amazing handling, suspension, etc.I still couldn't forget the sound and feel of the 981's engine, so I decided to switch to the 981 Boxster Spyder.He said.

981 Spider

That person is.

I bought the 981 Spyder because I was convinced that the 981 was the right choice for me, after having experienced the excellence of the latest model. I have made up my mind that I will never give up this 981 Spyder and will keep it forever.

I thought it was wonderful that he experienced the latest model and understood the advantages of both, and then returned to his ancestors.

However, the Porsche swamp is so deep that there may be no end to the ancestry of the 964, 930, narrow, and finally 356....................

    Mina, I think your husband is right.
    Porsche says commercially that "the latest is best," but personal tastes vary, so the latest is not necessarily better for that person. Especially the recent European exhaust noise regulations and downsizing engines. Silencers have been deliberately added for the sake of exhaust noise, and four-cylinder turbochargers have been installed for the sake of fuel efficiency, which in turn puts a greater burden on the oil. The exhaust sound of an uneven horizontal 4-cylinder turbocharged engine is no match for a flat 6. If sound is important to you, I can understand why you would switch from a 718 (982) to a 981. If you are driving it for a change of pace from the stress of work or as a hobby, the engine sound will be even more important.
    I think Porsche also realized that there are many such voices worldwide, so they went to the trouble of launching the NA engine in the 718 later. They are good at business... (laughs)

    P.S. I always look forward to your Twitter space. I'm rooting for you!

      Thanks again for your blog and your space!
      After all, the engine sound is more extended and pleasant in the past Porsches, when regulations were less strict.

      Porsche is really good at business, or rather, they play rock-paper-scissors-scissors after the fact (laughs).
      I can't wait to get my own Porsche!
      Thank you for your continued support!

    Each company may have a dilemma with rapid digitalization and energy conservation.
    These days, some manufacturers produce engine sounds from the loudspeakers when the car is in sport mode, so let's make it sensual ... in other words, they know it's not sensual anymore.
