【Grand Touring in a Boxster GTS, Vol. 3】 From Mount Bandai to Shinjo

My husband has written the next installment of his recent Boxster touring report. If you have a moment, please take a look. Taking the Boxster to Mount Bandai We woke up to clear skies in Aizuwakamatsu. The forecast said the weather should hold for at least the morning. On our previous visit to Aizuwakamatsu, we explored the area around Lake Inawashiro but didn’t make it to Mount Bandai. It was a place I’d been determined...

Six Years Into Porsche Boxster GTS Ownership, My Husband Still Gets Excited Every Time He...

Six Years With the 981 Boxster GTS Our Boxster has just passed its second inspection in November. My husband used to say things like, “I wonder if the day will come when we have to part with the Boxster…” But as he’s spent more time behind the wheel, he’s discovered new things to love about it. He’s also kept up with maintenance and renewed the extended warranty, so I think he’s finally decided he wants...

Porsche Panamera GTS (971) vs. Turbo: What’s the Difference?

The other day, I shared my impressions after test-driving the Panamera GTS. This time, I’d like to share my husband’s take on it. What the “GTS” Badge Means I’d been especially keen to try the 971-generation Panamera GTS, so I was delighted to get the chance. Since we own a Panamera Turbo, I’ll focus on how the two compare. The GTS badge has a special place in Porsche’s lineup. Its roots go back to the...

What I Learned Driving the Porsche Panamera GTS (971)

The 971 Panamera GTS The other day, I had the chance to take a Porsche Panamera GTS (971) for a drive. I’ve always had a soft spot for the 970 Panamera GTS I occasionally see around my neighborhood. Its engine note is fantastic, and I’ve always thought it looked great with the rear spoiler raised. So, what is the 971 Panamera GTS like? I actually got to drive a Panamera GTS for about a minute...

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...

What’s It Like to Drive a 718 Boxster GTS When You Own a 981?

718 Boxster GTS About a year ago, I had the chance to drive an acquaintance of my husband’s 718 Boxster GTS with a manual transmission. At the time, though, I could barely drive a manual, so my husband told me on the spot: “Maybe you’d better sit this one out, Mina. You’ll wreck the clutch.” Reluctantly, I gave up my chance to drive the 718 Boxster GTS. That experience became the motivation I needed to...
