The Ultimate Leather Seat Cleaner: “Easy Wipe”

Previously, while touring with my younger brother in a 911 Dakar, he mentioned an unbeatable leather seat cleaner. My brother isn’t the type to wash or maintain his car actively, but he was unusually enthusiastic about this cleaner, saying he’s bought several bottles over the years. He kept insisting, “You absolutely have to get this too!” So, I decided to give it a try and will share my review here. Leather Cleaner “Easy Wipe” The...

So Glad I Took the Plunge and Bought a Porsche｜Reflecting on 2023 and Goals for 2024

Belated Happy New Year to everyone. I look forward to your continued support this year as well. I started this blog in June 2017. Now that it’s 2024, this June will mark a full seven years of blogging. It feels both like time has flown by and that it’s only been seven years—a strange feeling indeed. Since it’s the start of the year, in this post I’d like to look back on my journey since...

Porsche Owners’ Choice: 2023 Test Drive Car of the Year!

Last year’s announcement of the Test Drive Car of the Year was a big hit (?). In this article, my husband, who regularly gets to drive a variety of cars thanks to readers and acquaintances, will share his top three most impressive cars he test drove in 2023. That said, all the cars were fantastic, so ranking them was quite difficult. Also, please understand that these picks reflect my husband’s personal view, who prioritizes driving...

Six Months with the Porsche 911 Carrera T｜My Honest Thoughts After Owning It

The Carrera T Is Seeing Less Action It’s been six months since I took delivery of my 911 Carrera T.My first Porsche, and after much deliberation, I chose the Carrera T. The driving experience is incredible. Light, agile, with outstanding handling, and the manual transmission is so much fun—I have no complaints about the driving at all. In fact, the Carrera T is just amazing. But lately, I’ve been driving the Carrera T less and...

Porsche 911 Dakar In-Depth Review [Part 2]: Performance on the Highway and Final Thoughts

Following up on the first part of the article, this time I’d like to share the second part. Highway Performance: Stability and Power Once on the highway, still in the break-in period, I pressed the accelerator a little harder just past the tollgate. As expected from an engine based on the GTS, the power and torque surge impressively from a certain RPM range upward. At low revs, the Carrera actually felt more responsive and quicker,...

Fully Loaded 992 Carrera S My younger brother bought another car. He’s the complete opposite of me—he’s a Ferrari fan, loves the G-Class, Lamborghini, Okinawa, Richard Mille watches, and Hublot—basically the textbook “successful guy” in every way (laughs). So naturally, he’s not a fan of understated cars like Porsche that focus purely on driving, and he often complains about Porsche’s minimal features and plain interiors. But this time, he surprisingly bought a Porsche after a...

“If You’re Not Going to Drive It, Don’t Buy It in the First Place”｜Thoughts on the Soari...

The Carrera T was delivered at the end of May 2023. Time flies—it’s almost been half a year already. The current mileage is 5,500 km. Whether it’s going to the supermarket, taking the kids to the dentist or dermatologist, or just driving them around—I use the Carrera T for everything. Sometimes I think, “There probably aren’t many people in Japan who use their Carrera T this much in daily life.” Every day, I’m enjoying my...

So glad I bought the Carrera T. My first Porsche, the 911 Carrera T, was delivered at the end of May. Four months have passed, and the mileage is almost 4,500 km now.

Discussing the All-Out Porsche 911 Turbo S (992) – The Ultimate Grade

Recently, I had the opportunity to test drive the 992 Turbo S. I’ve written a test drive report on the 992 Turbo S before, but some time has passed since then, and I believe my experience and impressions have evolved. So, I’d like to share again the true appeal of the Turbo S. Porsche 911 Turbo S For Porsche, the “Turbo” grade doesn’t simply mean a turbocharged car. Proof of this is that even the...

Carrera T Break-In Complete: Oil and Filter Change at 2,900km! How Does It Drive Now!?

Carrera T Heads for Oil Change Just over two months after taking delivery of the Carrera T, the mileage finally hit 2,900km, marking the end of the break-in period. So, just before the Obon holidays in August, I took it to the dealer for an oil and filter change. My husband had told me in advance, Make sure to get the filter changed along with the oil. Even if the oil is clean, it’s pointless...
