The Appeal of Porsche

The Unique Joys of Each Porsche Model

A Long-Awaited Drive in the Air-Cooled Porsche 911 (964) About two and a half years ago, my husband bought an air-cooled Porsche 911 (964 C2) with around 50,000 km on the clock, and now it’s about to surpass 70,000 km. Wow, that’s quite a distance. Over these two years, my husband has performed multiple maintenance sessions on the 964 and replaced some interior parts, bringing it to a really great condition. Every time he drives...

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.

When I got behind the wheel, I was surprised at how different the impression was compared to our own 991...

Differences Between the Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet and the 911 Carrera Turbo Cabriolet

911 Turbo Cabriolet The other day, I received this comment from a blog reader. Having previously driven a Macan Turbo, they fell in love with the charm of the 911 after test-driving the 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet (992 model), and ended up purchasing the 911 Turbo Cabriolet (992 model). They were amazed by the significant differences between the Carrera 4S Cabriolet they test-drove and the Turbo Cabriolet, so I’d like to share a bit about...

Repainting the Wheels of Our Porsche 911 (964) – Do Cars Have Souls Too?

Repainting the Wheels of the 911 (964) The saying, “things have souls,” really rings true. Even with electronic devices, if you treat them carefully, they work well for a long time. Sometimes, the moment you say, “It’s been acting up lately, so maybe I should replace it,” it suddenly starts working perfectly again. I wonder if the same applies to cars. The other day, my husband had the wheels of our 911 (964) repainted at...

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...

Driving Position of the Porsche 911 (992)|How Does It Compare to the 991 and 981?

Driving Position of the Porsche 911 The other day, my husband came home after driving the 911 Cabriolet (992) and started talking about it. The ride of the 992 is firm but smooth. Sure, you can feel some road surface irregularities, but compared to right after delivery, the ride quality has improved a lot. Also, the 992’s driving position is really easy to find. It might be the easiest driving position to get comfortable with...
