Tesla Comes Home | Why a Porsche Owner Ordered a Tesla Model 3

The Appeal of EVs Felt Through the Porsche Taycan It’s been a month since the Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo arrived at our home. My wife mainly drives it, but I’ve had the chance to drive it occasionally, and I’ve come to appreciate the charm of EVs all over again. Certainly, EVs have their downsides. However, for everyday travel, EVs are so convenient that it’s hard to find advantages in gasoline or diesel cars. The biggest...

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. Still 2,500 km to go until the break-in is complete (lol). By the way, the vehicle manual (911 2022 model) states the following about the break-in period. When new, it is necessary to perform a break-in to allow moving parts to...

Test Drive of the New GR86 (RZ・6AT)｜How Does a Porsche Owner Feel?

I’ve written many blog posts before, but when it comes to reviewing domestic cars, I honestly don’t want to write anything negative because domestic car fans tend to get overly defensive. However, that would defeat the purpose of an independent personal blog, so I’ve decided to write candidly this time as well. Toyota GR86 This time, I had the chance to test drive the new Toyota GR86 (RZ・6AT). Just before this, I had driven the...

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...

Test Drive Report: New Mercedes-AMG SL43｜Why Name It “SL”?

The other day, my younger brother bought the new Mercedes-AMG SL43 (R232 model). When it comes to the SL, it’s a model I personally love as well—one of the three cars (911, SL, M3) I dreamed of owning when I was younger. In fact, I used to drive an R129 SL500, and I also once owned the R171 SLK350, which is like the little brother of the SL. I truly love the SL among all...

Test Drive Report: Mercedes-AMG GLA35｜How It Differs from Regular Models and the GLB

Our blog’s test driver, TAKURO-san, recently bought a Mercedes-AMG GLA35 at the end of the year, so right at the start of the new year, I got a chance to see it up close. Mercedes-AMG GLA35 Speaking of the current GLA, my younger brother owns a GLA200d 4MATIC, and I’ve driven it a few times.

Suzuki Swift Sport! The Best Value Car That Ignites Your Desire to Drive More!

My Beloved Swift Sport My Swift Sport was delivered in October two years ago. Since then, I’ve driven it in various situations—around town, on mountain roads like the Royu Driveway, on highways… sometimes with my family of five, sometimes alone. I remember once, right after I drove my husband’s 911 (964 model), getting back into the Swift Sport and thinking, “It’s not fair to compare, but the 964’s solid feel and suspension are incredible. Compared...

GLB200d 4MATIC While there are many reviews of the GLB250, the front-wheel-drive GLB200d without 4MATIC, and the GLB35 on YouTube, magazines, and web media, detailed reviews of the most popular and best-selling 4MATIC GLB200d are quite rare.

The 202301 Model GLB200d 4MATIC The one that came to our...
