Test Drive of the Base Grade 718 Cayman (20-inch Wheels, PASM, Sport Chrono, Sport Exhaus...

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...

The Allure of the Porsche 911 (992): The Joy of Throttle Control

Throttle Control in the Porsche 911 (992) The other day, I shared an article praising the base model of the 992 Porsche 911, and I mentioned that my husband’s Porsche friends were also amazed and impressed by the performance of the 992 base model. When I later asked one of them what exactly they liked so much, they said: “The handling and solid suspension feel almost comparable to a GT3,” and on top of the...

No Regrets About Selling the Porsche 911 GT3 Thanks to the 992’s Presence

Do We Regret Selling the Porsche 911 GT3 Touring? We sold our Porsche 911 GT3 Touring this past April. It was a cherished car, carefully specified and purchased by my husband with great dedication. However, its performance was so high that we rarely had the chance to fully unleash it in everyday driving, so we reluctantly let it go. Since then, we’ve received many questions like “Do you regret selling the 911 GT3?” and “Have...

How My Impressions of the New Porsche 911 (992) Changed After 9 Months

Riding the 911 Cabriolet (992) After a While We have a 911 Cabriolet (992 model) at home. My husband has driven it about 5,000 km so far, but I only drive it occasionally. He often says to me, “Why don’t you drive it more!?” but since I usually only drive short distances—like a few minutes to the supermarket or to pick up our child from kindergarten—I think, “It feels like such a waste to take...

Six Months with Our New Porsche 911 (992): What My Husband Thinks

The Feeling of a Porsche Partner A while after our 911 Cabriolet (992) was delivered, my husband said, The 992 is just amazing…! I might not even need the GT3 or Boxster anymore. If I had to keep just one car regardless of price increases or value, it would definitely be the 992. Several months have passed since then, and while my husband drives all our cars regularly, recently he’s been saying things like this:...

Porsche 911 @ Fuji Speedway The other day, a circuit driving event hosted by the magazine “911DAYS” was held at Fuji Speedway, and my husband participated in his 911 Cabriolet (992 model). When he signed up for the event, he said, Which car should I take to the next event…? I’ve never driven a GT3 at Fuji Speedway, so maybe I’ll go with the GT3… However, since I, the “Rainstorm, Typhoon, Fog, and Snow Woman”,...

Has the New Porsche 911 (992) Become Just a Passenger Car? A Porsche Owner’s Perspective

About the Porsche 911 (992) When test drives for the current 911 (992) first began, I occasionally came across less-than-favorable reviews saying things like, “The 992 is so easy to drive it’s become just a passenger car” or “The 992 isn’t fun anymore.” But is that really the case? The first time my spouse and I test drove a 992, it was a 911 Carrera 4S. It was indeed very easy to drive, with a...
