Recently, I’d like to share my perspective on the base model (base grade) of the 718 Cayman that my wife reviewed.

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...

Test Drive of the New 718 Spider: How Does It Sound? Ride Comfort? Handling?

Test Drive of the New 718 Spider Since its release, the 718 Spider has gradually started appearing here and there on the streets. This time, I finally had the opportunity to take it for a test drive.

How My Husband Answered a Porsche Purchase Question from a 981 Boxster Owner

Which Porsche Grade and Model to Choose Among Porsches, my husband often gets asked by people around him about which grade and model to buy. Recently, I introduced an article titled How to Choose a Porsche Grade: Organized by Usage and Situation, and my husband always says, When it comes to Porsche, choosing a higher grade doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll be more satisfied.

Real Impressions from Porsche Owners: Experiences with the 718, 981, 970 Panamera, and More
