Comparing the Porsche 718 Boxster GTS and the 981 Boxster GTS

Got to Ride the 718 Boxster GTS!? One Saturday in February, my husband’s acquaintance took delivery of a 718 Boxster GTS, so my husband arranged to meet at the Higashi Rokko Observatory on the Royu Driveway and promised to get a ride. “Since it’s a special occasion, Mina, why don’t you come along too?” he said, so I asked my mother-in-law to watch the kids well in advance and eagerly looked forward to the day....

Tire Change for Porsche Boxster GTS – Impressions After Switching to Michelin Pilot Sport 4S

Tire Change for the Boxster Happy New Year! In 2019, I hope to continue updating this blog with fun and useful content for all readers, while enjoying it myself. Thank you very much for your continued support this year. Recently, my husband took the Boxster to Suzuka Circuit. Since the tire tread was already quite worn before the run, the tires ended up pretty beat after the session. “We need to change them immediately,” so...

How Was It Driving a Porsche Boxster at Suzuka Circuit?

Suzuka Circuit Driving Event The other day, my husband participated in a driving event at Suzuka Circuit with his Boxster GTS. The only available date for participation was for an event hosted by a certain tuning shop, so while most of the cars around were Japanese custom cars, only my husband and his friend brought their completely stock Porsche to join. (He said he felt pretty out of place, lol) That day, it was a...

Investigating the Auto-Blipping Function on the Porsche Boxster (981 & 718)

Auto-Blipping on the Boxster The other day, while practicing driving the Boxster GTS (MT), I wrote that “it’s fun how the car automatically blips the throttle in Sport Plus mode when equipped with the Sport Chrono Package on a manual transmission.” After that, a reader commented: Does auto-blipping also work in Sport mode, not just Sport Plus? The 718 Cayman brochure says that with the Sport Chrono Package, auto-blipping occurs even in Sport mode. A...

Three Years with the Porsche 981 Boxster GTS: Inspection Costs and Ownership Impressions

Three Years Since Buying the Boxster It’s been almost three years since my husband purchased the 981 Boxster GTS. Time flies… So, I decided to summarize the general details of the dealer inspection and my husband’s review of the Boxster after three years. The current mileage is 30,600 km (he hasn’t gone on many tours with the Boxster in the past year). There were no major issues during the inspection, and the Boxster returned home...

Mastering the Porsche Boxster GTS (MT) – Until That Day Comes Vol.3

Will I ever be able to drive the Boxster…? Last year, at the start of 2017, I set a goal: “This year, I will finally be able to drive the Boxster GTS (MT)!” But when I look back, I only drove the Boxster two or three times all year. Far from getting better, I actually found myself drifting further away from the Boxster GTS. Then this year’s New Year came around. With a faint hope...
