Our Porsche 911 (992 Model)<\/h3>\n

The 911 Cabriolet (992 model) was delivered in September. After my husband\u2019s commuting and long-distance touring, the break-in period ended, we even took it to Fuji Speedway, and the oil change is done\u2014now, the mileage has already exceeded 3,800 km<\/strong>. It\u2019s amazing how much it\u2019s been driven in just two months\u2026 (laughs)<\/p>\n

\"Porsche<\/p>\n

Usually, my husband is the one who drives the 911 Cabriolet. I want to drive it too, but our 3-month-old baby always tags along wherever we go<\/strong>, so I haven\u2019t had many chances.<\/p>\n

Well\u2026 maybe I could put the baby seat in and drive, but it feels like such a waste to keep a baby seat in a brand-new 911 all the time, and taking it in and out every time is a hassle, so I just haven\u2019t driven it.<\/p>\n

Then the other day, my husband said, <\/p>\n

The 992 has gotten really great lately. You should try it\u2014really, just try it once.<\/p>\n

So, when I went to pick up our eldest daughter in the evening, I left the younger daughter and baby with my husband and took the 911 for a spin.<\/p>\n

It had been a while since I last drove the 911. My excitement rose immediately. Even though I knew I\u2019d only be driving for about 15 minutes just to pick her up, I was thrilled.<\/strong> The 911 must be a truly special car.<\/p>\n

I opened the door and got in right away, and wow\u2026 just opening and closing the door and sitting in the seat, you can feel the solid build of the body.<\/strong> This feeling is probably close to that of the air-cooled Porsches.<\/p>\n

\"Interior<\/p>\n

I started the engine, and indeed, the 992\u2019s engine sound is quite loud. Our 992 is a base Carrera without the sports exhaust,<\/strong> so if it sounds this loud, the sports exhaust version must be even louder.<\/p>\n

Personally, I prefer starting the engine by inserting and turning an ignition key directly, which feels more like a sports car, but the 992, like the Panamera and Cayenne, starts when you turn the starter key.<\/p>\n

Once driving, the body feels as solid as a late 991 GT3, but the ride is even smoother than before and very easy to handle.<\/p>\n

Also, when braking before a traffic light, the subtle modulation of brake pressure feels incredibly precise and satisfying.<\/strong> Just driving the usual roads, I found myself amazed every time I stopped, went, or turned.<\/p>\n

So this is the latest 911\u2026<\/p>\n

No matter how many times I drive it, Porsche always delivers fresh surprises. It really is an amazing car.<\/p>\n

While driving a 911 every day is wonderful, once it becomes second nature, you might take it for granted. So, I think that occasionally driving it like this lets you appreciate the 911\u2019s greatness even more.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Raising a Porsche?<\/h3>\n

After returning home, I said, <\/p>\n

It\u2019s amazing\u2014it\u2019s gotten so much better! Especially the ride, it feels smoother than before. The suspension is stiff, but with added smoothness and mildness, the contact with the road feels just as solid while the ride is more comfortable.<\/strong>
\nAlso, the engine response\u2014was it always this good? I wasn\u2019t even in sport mode, just normal mode, but the acceleration from a stop was incredibly responsive.
\nAmong all the Porsches I\u2019ve driven, this one responds best to my inputs and has an amazing driver-car connection. It feels like a very healthy 911!<\/p>\n

My husband replied, <\/p>\n

Right? It\u2019s gotten really good, hasn\u2019t it? That\u2019s because we\u2019ve been driving it with a well-planned approach, from the break-in, oil changes, to running it on the circuit, all aimed at bringing the car to its best condition.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Porsche<\/p>\n

He continued, <\/p>\n

You could say it\u2019s like raising the 911. Porsche isn\u2019t just a car you buy and that\u2019s it. It\u2019s a car meant to be driven.<\/strong> Many people do a careful break-in after delivery, but often they just run the engine gently and slowly, which might actually cause more sludge buildup.
\nI think the perspective of \u201craising\u201d the car is important. From my experience with many cars, it\u2019s crucial to run the engine moderately and put some load on the chassis.<\/strong> You can tell right away if a car hasn\u2019t been driven like that.
\nBy the way, \u201cmoderately\u201d is key\u2014not just revving it high. For example, during the break-in\u2019s middle to later stages, I drive in one or two gears lower,<\/strong> or if it\u2019s a PDK car, I purposely drive in sport mode.
\nI focus on the engine running smoothly at moderate load and mid-range RPMs.
\nAlso, when cornering, I make sure to put proper weight on the suspension so that the springs, dampers, and bushings become supple and well-conditioned.<\/strong>
\nFor this 992, as the culmination of the break-in, I ran it full throttle on the circuit to loosen up the chassis stiffness and tune the engine to run properly.<\/p>\n

He said\u2026 it\u2019s kind of like raising a Tamagotchi (old joke).<\/p>\n

But indeed, since I only drive the Porsche occasionally, I can really notice how it grows and how different it feels compared to before.<\/strong> It\u2019s truly different every time, and I\u2019m always surprised.<\/p>\n

Speaking of which, the 911 I borrowed as a loaner recently felt like it had been asleep for years. The engine didn\u2019t rev well, and it felt like a 911 that forgot how to drive\u2026 It\u2019s a good car at heart, but I felt a bit sorry for it.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, our 911 has changed so much by being driven continuously since delivery.<\/strong> I imagine if we keep driving it, it will develop even more character.<\/p>\n

Even with the same model, the car\u2019s personality changes depending on the owner. I think this is one of the fascinating and profound aspects of cars\u2014no, of Porsche.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Our Porsche 911 (992 Model) The 911 Cabriolet (992 model) was delivered in September.
