Is Your Porsche Macan Early, Mid, or Late Model? Thoughts from Driving an Early Macan Turbo

A little while ago, a friend purchased a used early-model Macan Turbo. It’s a very well-maintained example, equipped with air suspension and a sports exhaust.

Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS (992) Test Drive Review: How Does It Differ from the Base Model?

This time, I’d like to review the 992 Targa 4 GTS that I happened to test drive during my recent Kyushu tour. 992 Targa 4 GTS The Porsche 992 Targa 4 GTS is a unique model within the GTS lineup. The reason is that, unlike other GTS models, it does not come standard with the PASM sport suspension, but only the regular PASM suspension. This is related to the fact that the Targa model, having...
