However, recently I’ve had more time behind the wheel, so I’d like to share a review of the Carrera T here. Just because my wife bought...

Why Did I Buy a Porsche Myself? Recently, I purchased a Porsche 911 Carrera T with my own money, and today I want to write about why I was so determined to buy a Porsche with my own funds. Fortunately, my household already has several Porsches owned by my husband, so I could have driven one every day if I wanted. Because of that, if it was just about the desire to drive or ride...

Is This the Perfect Machine!? A Porsche Owner’s Take on the 992 Carrera T Test Drive

The Perfect Carrera T The other day, my husband took the Carrera T (MT) to Royu, and had the pleasure of letting TAKURO-san, a fellow Porsche owner we always appreciate, drive it. TAKURO-san was incredibly impressed, saying things like “This is the perfect machine!” “So nice, so nice, I want one!” “C-can I have another go!?” “This is the Porsche I want most right now!”—he was full of praise, so my husband suggested, “Why don’t...

Breaking in the New Porsche 911 Carrera T: Surprising Changes Noticed After One Week

Changes After Receiving the 911 Carrera T It’s been two weeks since the delivery of the 911 Carrera T. Currently, I’m enthusiastically in the middle of the break-in period. The mileage is 500 km.

Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS (992) Test Drive Review: How Does It Differ from the Base Model?

This time, I’d like to review the 992 Targa 4 GTS that I happened to test drive during my recent Kyushu tour. 992 Targa 4 GTS The Porsche 992 Targa 4 GTS is a unique model within the GTS lineup. The reason is that, unlike other GTS models, it does not come standard with the PASM sport suspension, but only the regular PASM suspension. This is related to the fact that the Targa model, having...

Kyushu Touring 2023 Day 3 with Porsche Boxster GTS (981)
