Carrera T Heads for Oil Change Just over two months after taking delivery of the Carrera T, the mileage finally hit 2,900km, marking the end of the break-in period. So, just before the Obon holidays in August, I took it to the dealer for an oil and filter change. My husband had told me in advance, Make sure to get the filter changed along with the oil.

Why Do Porsche Owners Buy Their Cars Without Test Driving?

Buying a Porsche Without a Test Drive The other day, I was talking with an acquaintance, and the conversation turned to how I write a Porsche blog and recently bought my long-awaited first Porsche. At that time, they were very surprised to hear that I purchased it without test driving. “What? Isn’t it normal to test drive a car before buying it? And Porsche is such an expensive car—don’t you test drive before buying? Some...

Breaking in the New Porsche 911 Carrera T: Surprising Changes Noticed After One Week
