Test Drive of the New Supra (6MT)|How Did a Porsche Owner Feel?

Toyota Supra When I think of the Supra, the A80 model (1993-2002) — the ’80s Supra immediately comes to mind. Its larger body and drastically changed design from the previous generation divided opinions, but I really liked it. I especially admired the rear styling, the taillight design, and the enveloping driver’s seat. That Supra was redesigned in 2019. When I first saw the design in the announcement, I was disappointed, and I was surprised that...

Typical Porsche Owner Story? Why Many Owners Switch from the Latest Models to Their Prede...

Porsche’s Return to Its Roots The other day, my husband was talking about something. He said, “Among the people I know, quite a few buy relatively new Porsche models, gain experience, and then gradually switch to older models or add them to their collection. It’s like a kind of Porsche ‘return to the ancestors’ (laughs). For example, some who drove the latest 991 (992 generation) gradually went back to the late 991, then the early...

From the 981 to the 718 The other day, I was talking with a Porsche owner. He had been driving a 981 Boxster Black Edition (PDK) until recently, but just switched to a 718 Spyder (MT). When deciding to switch from the 981 Boxster to the 718 Spyder, he struggled with various thoughts, but • He wanted to try driving a manual Porsche • He was drawn to the cool design of the 718 •...

What’s the Difference Between the 981 Cayman and 718 Cayman? Which One Suits You?

The other day, I had the chance to borrow a base model 718 Cayman as a loaner. And just about a month ago, I also happened to drive a base model 981 Cayman. This time, rather than a test drive report or review, I want to focus on the characteristics I feel these two 98x-series cars have, and what exactly sets them apart. The 718 and 981 Caymans To be precise, 718 is the model...

Long-Awaited 718 Cayman GT4 Test Drive Review: How Does It Differ from the Spider?

For some reason, this is actually my first time writing a test drive article on the GT4. This time, I drove the 718 Cayman GT4.

Equipped with exclusive features like Adaptive...

Experienced the “Mid vs Rear” Program at PEC Tokyo: Mid-Engine vs Rear-Engine

PEC Tokyo: Starting Out in the Boxster GTS 4.0 The other day, I visited the Porsche Experience Center Tokyo (PEC Tokyo), and today I want to share my impressions of the “two-car comparison” program I experienced there. The program I joined was the 90-minute “Mid vs Rear,” which thoroughly explores the differences between mid-engine and rear-engine Porsches. The first car I got to drive was the Boxster GTS 4.0. I had expected to drive a...

Recently, I’d like to share my perspective on the base model (base grade) of the 718 Cayman that my wife reviewed. A 718 Cayman Loaded with Options I’ve previously test-driven two base grade 718 Caymans, but both had only the bare minimum of options. However, this particular car is very rare, equipped with 20-inch wheels plus the three essential options: the Sport Chrono Package, PASM, and Sport Exhaust. Base grade Caymans rarely come with a...
