Nine Months Since Swift Sport Delivery: Why I Prefer Driving My Swift Over My Husband’s P...

Nine Months Since Swift Sport Delivery My beloved car, the Swift Sport, was delivered in October 2021. Time flies—it’s already been nine months. Since then, the only modifications I’ve made are installing lowering springs and replacing the interior lights with LEDs. I’ve been driving the Swift almost daily over these nine months, but since most trips are just to the local supermarket or kindergarten, the mileage hasn’t grown much. So far, it’s about 4,000 km....

The Joy of High-Performance Cars Like Porsche Grows with the Driver’s Skill

Back When I Couldn’t Drive a Manual About five years ago, I could barely drive a manual transmission car. Every time I got behind the wheel of the only manual car we had at home, the Boxster GTS (981), I thought, “There’s no way I’ll ever be able to drive a manual car.” My sense of defeat just kept growing. My feet wouldn’t leave the accelerator or clutch pedals, and I half-wondered, “Does the Boxster’s...

From an Automatic Porsche to a Manual Suzuki Swift Sport | How Changing My Daily Driver C...

Driving the Swift Sport Manual For the past few years, the cars I usually drove were Porsche Panamera and Cayenne. They were smooth, comfortable, and even with my amateur driving skills, I could drive so smoothly and comfortably that I fooled myself into thinking, “Wait, have I gotten better at driving?” Then, last April, I made up my mind and decided to buy a car myself, and in October last year, a manual Suzuki Swift...

Suzuki Swift Sport: One-Month Inspection Complete | Porsche and Swift Sport, All Differen...

Swift Sport One-Month Inspection My beloved Suzuki Swift Sport arrived at our home in early October. Time has flown by, and it was already time for the one-month inspection. By the way, when I called to make the inspection appointment, I was a bit absent-minded (I’m basically always absent-minded) and accidentally said, “I’d like to book the one-year inspection, please!“… The person on the other end politely corrected me, “Yes, the one-month inspection… right?” which...

One Week with the Suzuki Swift Sport: First Impressions on Its Driving Performance

After Taking Delivery of the Suzuki Swift Sport It’s been one week since the Suzuki Swift Sport was delivered. Although the break-in period isn’t over yet, I’ve been driving it almost every day, including on the Royu Driveway and highways, and I’d like to share my impressions so far. (My husband’s review will follow later.) To sum it up, it’s a fast, light, fun, and incredibly cost-effective car. It’s a car with solid basic performance...

I Want to Master Driving the Porsche Boxster GTS Manual

Back Behind the Wheel of the Manual Boxster GTS The other day, I took the Boxster GTS (981, MT) for a drive on the Royu Driveway after quite some time. Since I usually travel with my kids, I don’t often get to drive a sporty Porsche, so this was my first Boxster drive in several months. I’ve written extensively about how great the Boxster GTS is, so today I want to share a slightly different...

Test Driving the Porsche 911 GT3 | How Different Are MT and PDK!

Test Driving the Porsche 911 GT3 PDK Recently, my husband had the chance to test drive a Porsche 911 GT3 (991 late model) with PDK, owned by an acquaintance. That owner kindly said, “Why don’t you try driving it too, ma’am?” So I took them up on the offer and drove it the other day. When I got behind the wheel, I was surprised at how different the impression was compared to our own 991...

My husband had the chance to test drive the 911 GT3 PDK (991 later model) and wrote a report about it. Please take a look if you’re interested.
