What It’s Like Driving the Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS: Differences Between Early and Late 99...

My husband recently had the chance to drive a friend’s Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS, and he shared his impressions. The 911 Targa is a car I once admired deeply. Please have a look if you’re interested. Test Drive: 911 Targa 4 GTS Not long ago, he had a brief opportunity to drive the early model (991.1) Targa 4 GTS. Around the same time, he had borrowed a late model (991.2) Carrera GTS from an...

The New Porsche 911 (992) We Ordered Is a Cabriolet!

About the Base 911… Regarding our family’s Panamera replacement, I recently wrote that we had finally decided on the new 911 (992), and today I’d like to share which grade of the new 911 we chose. To get straight to the point, we decided on the 911 Carrera Cabriolet. Back when we were debating “Cayenne? Taycan?…” I never imagined we’d end up with a convertible. 1 Why the Base Model First, my husband explained why...

Our Family’s Car Choice: The New Porsche 911 (992) Is Decided!

Next Candidate After the Panamera Since last fall, we’ve been going back and forth, agonizing over “what to do about replacing our Panamera that’s almost been with us for three years.” (I wrote about the candidate cars in this earlier article.) This summer, with our third child born, our family will become five members, and naturally, when choosing a car, the thought was “if it’s Porsche, then it has to be the Cayenne.” But it...

Porsche 911 GT3 Dealer 1-Year Inspection|Costs? PCCB Wear?

Porsche 911 GT3, 1-Year Inspection The other day, my husband took the 911 GT3 in for its dealer 1-year inspection. Although the GT3 was delivered last May, since he had driven it on the track at the end of the year and had an oil change done, he decided to bring it in a little earlier than scheduled. While the GT3 was in for inspection, we were kindly lent a 718 Cayman as a loaner,...

Family Touring with Porsche 911 GT3 and Boxster

With the 911 GT3 and Boxster The other day, our family took a trip to nearby Arima Onsen in the 911 GT3 and Boxster. We decided on a whim just before leaving, and when we checked, there were still rooms available, so we went for it. It was a rare sunny day. We packed our luggage into a slightly larger suitcase, and when my husband tried to put it in the car trunks, surprisingly, it...

Unleash the GT3! Driving the Porsche 911 GT3 at Suzuka Circuit

Today, my husband has written an article about his experience driving the GT3 at Suzuka Circuit at the end of last year. Please take a look. Last October, Porsche’s driving school was canceled due to heavy rain, so we couldn’t run the GT3 on the track. To make up for it, he took some time off at the end of the year and brought the GT3 to Suzuka Circuit for a spin. This time, I’d...

How Does a Gran Turismo Champion Feel Driving a Real Porsche 911 GT3?

The Last Royu Driveway of 2019 As I mentioned in a recent article, at the end of last year, Ms. Riko Otsuka, host of the YouTube channel “GTSport Broadcasting Station”, and Tatsuya Sugawara, a GT player, came to our home. Since they were here, we thought, “Let’s head to the Royu Driveway and have the world-class GT player Sugawara drive the GT3.” My daughters, Riko, and I followed along in the Panamera. Sugawara has loved...
