Porsche 911 GTS (991.2) Review: A Wife’s Take on Everyday Driving

911 Carrera GTS The other day, my husband borrowed a 911 Carrera GTS from an acquaintance, and we had the chance to drive it for a little while. Today, I’m sharing my impressions. I’m truly grateful that we get to experience so many different Porsches in our everyday lives. It’s a rare opportunity, and I’d like to take this chance to thank my husband’s friends for letting us enjoy their cars (though I doubt they...

New Porsche 911 Cabriolet (992): The Options We Chose

Our next car after the Panamera will be a base-model Porsche 911 (992)—and, as it turns out, a Cabriolet. My husband has written about our decision, so this time I’d like to share the options we chose for our new 911. (It’s April Fool’s Day, but this really isn’t a joke!) Our New 911 (992) Cabriolet Our brief for this car was simple: a comfortable, grown-up 911 Cabriolet. (The Japanese configurator doesn’t show the black...

How Does the Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS Compare Across the 991 Generations?

My husband recently had the chance to drive an acquaintance’s Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS, and he’s written up his impressions. The 911 Targa was a car I once dreamed of owning, so I hope you enjoy reading his take. Behind the Wheel of the 911 Targa 4 GTS The other day, I had the opportunity to drive an early 991.1 Targa 4 GTS, albeit briefly. Around the same time, I’d borrowed an acquaintance’s later...

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

The Base 911… I recently wrote that, after weighing the options for replacing the Panamera in our household, we had finally settled on the new 911 (992). Today, I’d like to share which version of the new 911 we chose. The answer? The 911 Carrera Cabriolet. Back when we were asking ourselves, “Cayenne or Taycan?” it never crossed our minds that we’d end up choosing an open-top car. 1. Why We Chose the Base Model...

Our Next Family Car: The New Porsche 911 (992)

What Should Replace Our Panamera? Since last fall, we’d been going back and forth over what to do about replacing our Panamera, which would soon be three years old. (I wrote earlier about the cars we considered in this article.) Our third child was due this summer, making us a family of five, so choosing our next car was no small decision. The obvious answer might seem to be “if it’s a Porsche, it has...

Porsche 911 GT3 Annual Service: What It Costs and How Much Do PCCB Pads Wear?

Porsche 911 GT3: The One-Year Service The other day, my husband took our 911 GT3 to the dealership for its one-year service. The car was delivered last May, but after a track day at the end of the year and an oil change, he decided to bring it in a little early. While the GT3 was in for service, the dealership kindly loaned us a 718 Cayman. I got to take it shopping, and my...

A Family Road Trip in a Porsche 911 GT3 and Boxster

A 911 GT3 and a Boxster The other day, our family took a Porsche 911 GT3 and a Boxster on a quick trip to Arima Onsen. We got the idea at the last minute, checked for availability, and found a room, so off we went. It was an unusually sunny day. We packed a fairly large suitcase, and when my husband tried to load it into the car, it wouldn’t fit in either the GT3...
