The Porsche Boxster’s Trunk Holds More Than You Think – Suitcases Fit with Room to Spare!

The Open Two-Seater’s Trunk “I’ve heard many people say that the Boxster’s trunk can’t hold much luggage,” and since (I used to think so too), I decided to put that to the test. Because the Boxster features a “mid-engine layout with the engine placed in the middle of the chassis,” it has trunks both in the front and rear. To open the trunk, you either pull this lever under the driver’s seat, or press the...

Touring North Through Hyogo Prefecture to Beautiful Fukui in a Porsche Boxster

Wind and Light, Boxster For quite some time, my husband has been reading a Boxster touring blog written by someone named “wata-san.” It seems to be well-known among Boxster and touring enthusiasts. The blog shares stories and videos of touring all across Japan. The photography and video quality are stunning, but what really stands out is the passion for touring—like driving 800 km in a single day and covering 100,000 km in three and a...

Summary of Porsche New Model Releases as of August 2018 – 911, Boxster Spyder, Cayenne Co...

About Porsche New Model Release Information For a while now, I’ve been checking the latest Porsche news through Google Alerts. Every day, I receive about ten emails with various campaign info, press conference details, and new model updates, but recently, there’s been so much “Porsche new model release information” that it’s become quite confusing. Articles often say things like “The full reveal of the Boxster Spyder is finally here!” or “Spy shots of the new...

Porsche 981 Boxster GTS – Its Charm Still Shines Bright Even After 2 Years of Ownership

Commuting with the 981 Boxster GTS My husband commutes about once a week in the 981 Boxster GTS (MT). When we first got the Boxster, he drove it to work every day to get used to driving a manual and to break the car in. But then he said, “Since the round trip from home to work is about 50 km, it feels like a waste to rack up mileage just commuting,” so he started...

981 Boxster GTS vs. SL500 (R129) — Which Is Better for Touring?

My Husband’s Annual Touring Tradition Last Golden Week, my husband went on his usual solo touring trip (3 nights, 4 days). During that time, my daughters and I visited my parents’ home. Until the day before departure, he was torn between “Should I take the Boxster this time, or maybe the SL?” He usually goes with the 981 Boxster GTS (MT), but since he hadn’t taken the SL500 (R129) he bought a few months ago...

The Last Naturally Aspirated 6-Cylinder: An Owner’s Take on the 981 Boxster GTS

MY 2016 Boxster Our 2016 Boxster GTS (MT) is the first Porsche my husband ever bought. Nowadays, with Porsche focusing more on the environment, the Boxster—led by the 911—is moving towards turbocharging and downsizing, so this 2016 Boxster is said to be the last model equipped with a six-cylinder naturally aspirated engine.(The current 718 Boxster has a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder turbo engine) *Photo courtesy of Twitter user Aitan Kai@ConeManLP826 .
