911 Carrera T, 1600 km.

It has been a month and a half since I took delivery of the car. I drive my 911 Carrera T (MT) everyday, but mainly for neighborhood use,The mileage has finally just exceeded 1600 km.

The engine sound has become much louder, and I have become much more accustomed to shifting and pedaling, allowing me to enjoy a more relaxed and nimble driving experience.

Before purchasing Carrera T,

The 992 Carrera T has a sport chassis (only the sport chassis can be selected for the 992 Carrera T), a lower ride height, and is said to be more comfortable. In addition, it is left hand drive. Is it really usable in everyday life? Can it go to the supermarket or convenience store? After all, they will probably say that they can't use the car for everyday use and stop driving it..."

I was concerned,I guess it's actually quite usable on a daily basis.I realize that this is not the case.

911 Carrera T, daily use

If I were to rate the quality of my daily use when I used to drive a Swisspo as a 10, the Carrera T would be about a 7..............................

Swisspo was so compact that it could go anywhere, and conversely, there was no place it could not go. Compared to that, Carrera T is indeed not a 10 (laughs), but not a 5, either.

In other words, the impression is that if certain requirements are met, everyday use can be done without problems.

The low height of the car is not surprising.

Optionally, you can also use the "Front axle lift system attached.I'm sure the fact that it's a "lowered" car has a lot to do with it, but in the month and a half since delivery, I've never had a single scrape on the underside of the car. (If anything, I scraped more when I was in Swisspo after I went to the lowered suspension.)

So far I'm driving carefully, and I'm aware of things like avoiding angles as much as possible where there are bumps... but I'm not as bad as I thought I would be.

I've been to convenience stores, supermarkets, and standing parking in shopping malls with angles.Is this impossible...!I can usually go to places where I think, "I'm not going to be able to go there.

I don't know what it would be like without the front axle lift system, and I haven't been able to verify that much... but I'm still glad I got the "front axle lift system" (even though it was an expensive option). ...)

The range of parking spaces I can go to is reduced because I drive on the left side of the road.

It is a left-hand drive,In the case of parking lots that take parking tickets, I only go to those that have a left-hand-drive-only ticketing machine.

My husband used to have a magic hand in his left-hand drive Boxster, and I used it to get a parking ticket from the right-hand drive only ticketing machine (it worked surprisingly well w), but I also felt like I had to go that far...

So I no longer go to the supermarkets in my neighborhood, only to those with left-hand-drive-only ticketing machines, or to parking lots that do not have ticketing in the first place. However, in recent years, at the supermarket,More parking lots with car number authentication systems.I feel like I'm not going to have that much trouble. Well, my house is located far from the city, so it might be a bit of a problem in the city.

Driving on the left-hand side of the road takes some getting used to.

The left-hand steering wheel is not difficult to drive once you get used to it. It is easy to pull over and I think the risk of getting caught when turning left is reduced. When turning right, it is a little difficult to see, but I think it will be OK once I get used to it.

Also, "Difficult to see right rear when mergingAs for the "I can see quite well" point, my Carrera T does not have privacy glass. However, this is not because I wanted it to be that way.As a result of the fact that we planned to have privacy glass, but mistakenly forgot to add the option.I am glad I didn't put it on now, though.

Limited convenience stores to go to.

I used to be able to go to any convenience store, but I no longer go to convenience stores that seem to have quite a few steps to enter or that have few parking spaces or narrow parking lots. In that sense, I have come to think of it as a "convenience store".I really wanted to stop at a convenience store and go home, but I decided not to.There are more and more situations where "the

992 (2023) sports chassis with good ride quality.

I had an image of a sport chassis with a ticklish ride, but the ride was better than I expected.

There is no tickling sensation, just a shaking sensation where the road surface is undulating, which may be uncomfortable for those who are accustomed to a luxurious ride,If you have experience with sports cars, including domestic and imported cars, I think it is not an OK ride at all.But this may be in large part due to the thicker seating surface of the Sports Plus seats (electric 18-way).

There are limited places to park in Osaka City (especially in Kitahama).

For those who are not familiar with Osaka, "Where is Kitahama?" (laugh).

In the suburbs, of course, there is no problem, but it is still quite a struggle to choose a parking lot in Osaka City. Especially when I went to Kitahama the other day, all the parking lots were too small and I didn't dare to park there.Porsche cannot be parked.They said no...

I didn't park in a parking lot with a lock plate (I was afraid to scrape the wheel too), so I looked for a parking lot to avoid it, and the only place I could find was a parking lot with crazy prices....

Umeda, Tenmabashi, Yodoyabashi, Honmachi, Shinsaibashi, and Namba are okay because there are many large underground parking lots, but Kitahama is a devil's gate for me because there are really few places to park (sorry for the local story).

The point is, get used to it.

As I write this, I think, compared to a passenger car, inconvenience is certainly inconvenient. But you get used to it after a week (laugh). 

Nevertheless, my impression is that the 911 is easier to use on a daily basis than the common image of a sports car.

I can't wait to finish the 3,000 km of honking!
