[Grand Touring with the Boxster GTS Vol.3] From Mt. Bandai to Shinjo City

My husband wrote a follow-up article to his recent Boxster touring story. Please take a look if you’re interested. Heading to Mt. Bandai in the Boxster The morning in Aizuwakamatsu City greeted us with clear skies. According to the weather forecast, the good weather would hold through the morning. Last time we came to Aizuwakamatsu, we visited around Lake Inawashiro but didn’t make it to Mt. Bandai. It was a spot I was determined to...

My Husband Still Feels the Thrill Every Time He Drives Our 6-Year-Old Porsche Boxster GTS

The 6th Year of Our 981 Boxster GTS Our Boxster just passed its second inspection this November. Until now, my husband used to say things like, “I wonder if the time will come to part with the Boxster someday…” But as he’s driven it more, he’s discovered new joys and charms, kept up with maintenance, continued the extended warranty… I think he’s finally decided to keep it for the long haul. That said, he rarely...

Test Drive of the Porsche Cayenne Coupe (Part 2)｜How Does the Engine and Driving Feel?

Recently, I published the first part of my test drive report on the Cayenne Coupe, and now, at last, I’d like to share my husband’s impressions (Part 2) that you’ve been waiting for. On a rare sunny break during the rainy season, we were fortunate to have the chance to test drive the new Cayenne Coupe. The grade was the S model, officially named the “Cayenne S Coupe.” Compared to the standard Cayenne, which is...

How Does the Porsche Panamera GTS (971) Differ from the Turbo?

The other day, I wrote my impressions after test driving the Panamera GTS, and now I’d like to share my husband’s thoughts. The Meaning Behind the “GTS” Badge I was personally very curious and fortunate to have the chance to test drive the 971 Panamera GTS. Since our family owns a Panamera Turbo, I’ll focus this report on comparing the two. For Porsche, the GTS grade holds a special place. Tracing back its history, the...

Test Driving the Porsche Panamera GTS (971 Model): My Impressions

971 Panamera GTS The other day, I had the opportunity to test drive the Panamera GTS (971). Personally, I’ve always loved the 970 Panamera GTS I occasionally see around my neighborhood—the engine sound is fantastic, and I’ve always thought the raised rear spoiler looks really cool. So, how does the 971 Panamera GTS feel? Actually, last fall I participated in Porsche’s driving school (Porsche Track Experience) and got to test drive a Panamera GTS for...

Porsche 911 GTS (991 Late Model) Test Drive – A Wife’s Everyday Use Review

911 Carrera GTS The other day, my husband was able to borrow a 911 Carrera GTS from an acquaintance, and I got to drive it for a while. Today, I’m sharing my impressions from that experience. I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to regularly drive various Porsches in this environment—it’s a rare and valuable experience. I’d like to take this chance to thank my husband’s acquaintances here (though I doubt they read this blog, haha)....

What Happens When I, a 981 Boxster GTS Driver, Take the 718 Boxster GTS for a Spin?

718 Boxster GTS About a year ago, I had the chance to drive a friend of my husband’s 718 Boxster GTS (MT). However, at that time, I wasn’t very confident driving a manual car, so my husband warned me on the spot: Mina, better not. You’ll break the clutch. Reluctantly, I gave up on driving the 718 Boxster GTS. That moment became the trigger for me to say, “I absolutely must learn to drive a...
