We read all the comments we receive on the blog on a daily basis, and we enjoy reading them because they are full of love for cars and are both relaxing and informative.

So today, for the first time in a while, I would like to share some of the comments I have received from readers.

Porsche Owner's Voice

Porsche Boxster / Cayman

1] As for the effectiveness of the heating system987 Boxster S warms up within 4,5 minutesThe 718 Boxster S, on the other hand, seems to take about 7 or 8 minutes. On the other hand, the 718 Boxster S seems to take about 7 or 8 minutes. I wonder if it has something to do with the mechanism around the air conditioner or the exhaust volume.

As for the limited visibility, my 718 in particular has a mesh wind diffuser that makes rear visibility hopeless.... Other things that often make me sad when compared to BMWs and Mercedes are the sound of the passenger seatbelt clattering, the creaking noise inside the car, and the chattering noise when the audio system is turned on....

I tell myself and others that Porsche is a high performance car. Of course, even with those things out of the way, I still think they are the best cars☆.(Yoshikichi)

2] My Boxster still does not produce warm air in winter until about 15 minutes after starting to run. "I think the heater is broken.I thought, "I've got a lot of coolant," but when I learned that it contained 23 liters of coolant, I was convinced (laughs).

The ALPINA B3 (3.3-liter inline 6-cylinder engine) I had been driving until then had 8 liters of coolant, which was still a lot for its displacement.After all, MR/RR cars and FF/FR cars are built fundamentally differently.I guess so.

However, I think a 991GT3 has 30 liters of coolant in it, and I was surprised to hear that the heating works faster than a 981GTS with 25 liters. I guess due to the nature of the car, both the water and hot water temperatures rise quickly.(WATA)

3] Talking about the Boxster's rearward visibility, the Cayman 987LD has hopeless right diagonal rearward visibility, and the small window is useless. On the other hand, the 911 996GT3 and 964CARRERA2 have excellent right diagonal rearward visibility, and I still think the 911 is wonderful.
I've never owned a Boxster, so I don't know much about it. I just wanted to give my personal opinion.(Principal Sens.)

4] I used to drive a Cayman GTS, so I was surprised at how bad the visibility was when I switched to a Boxster GTS.
In heavy rain, you can't see anything, so the confluence is like a "bakuchi" (sweat).

Also.My Boxster GTS is a sport chassis with 10mm lower ride heightThe ride quality at low speeds is not so good, though of course it looks good! It's a very bad ride at low speeds!

The ride is uncomfortable to the point of resonating in my stomach or even in my gut... It's fine if I go faster, but I have to be very careful when I have someone in the passenger seat. Also, the heating system in mine works quickly ^^ I wonder why?(taramangts)

[5]My basic 718 is "without PASM".One difference from the "with PASM" basic 718 that I test-drove at the dealership was that theThe higher the speed range, the more stable the vehicle with PASM is by far.There is no doubt that it is "the best of both worlds.

However, when the thrust came over gravel or cobblestone roads or across tram tracks, even PASM control had its limits, and both the smoothness of the ride and the information from the road surface felt halfway through the ride.

Therefore, the grand tourer 911, Panamera, Cayenne, and Macan (or Taikan?), which perfectly combine sportiness and luxury (comfort), can be said to be a natural choice for PASM. It is natural to say that the grand tourers 911, Panamera, Cayenne, and Macan (and Taican?) have PASM.

The 718 is a pure sport car with a limited sense of luxury (comfort) and practically all of its performance is devoted to sportiness.(Long distance driving on circuits, winding roads, and highways)If you do, PASM is a must.

However, "Without PASM, the feeling of lightness at low to medium speeds (driving around town) is better.The standard suspension is supple enough. The standard suspension is flexible enough, probably thanks to the lack of unnecessary intervention by electronic control. Therefore, it can be said that PASM is unnecessary if it is enough to feel sportiness in daily use (daily sport).

Therefore, it is up to each individual to decide whether or not they need to purchase PASM, SPOCHRO, SPOEG, PTV, sports chassis, or other driving performance OPs.How much you want to increase driving performanceI think it will change with the "I think it will change with the "I think it will change with the(Nayyar)

6] My 981 Boxster Spyder is also only available in a sports chassis, and I have been given that spec whether I want it or not. Although it is hard, there is no uncomfortable thrust, and I feel that it is more comfortable to drive in town than the previous Abarth 124 Spyder, which was based on a roadster.

However, the bucket seats and sport chassis were not well received by his wife.Will they discriminate between the driver's seat and the passenger seat?I have always admired the comfort of PASM, but after reading this article, I am proud of it (laugh).
The ride quality of the 981 is irreplaceable, and I really agree that the 911 should aim for more cars, not replacements, lol.(ds124)

Air-cooled Porsche 911

[7] As the Master said.The 964 doesn't feel like it's piloting.Yes, I seem to remember that the 930 gave me even more of a sense of control.I'm really surprised at the tremendous amount of information from the road surface.It is rather overwhelming.

At that time, I could drive an air-cooled car at an incredibly reasonable price of 4.5 million yen for a five-year old car. So, I was not able to feel the lack of ground contact of the front wheels after 160 km or almost flying in the ruts of heavy rain. ......... Anyway...Concentrate on driving to pick up steering information.The company has become the first in the world to be awarded a "Best in Show" prize.

I had had a few self-inflicted accidents due to reckless driving out of ignorance, but they have disappeared since I got the 964. The car wasI can't take this any more. Can you control it?I really grew up in a Porsche that said, "I'm a Porsche. I sympathize too much with what the master said, so I apologize for the long and uncoherent sentence.(nave)

8] I am one of the owners of a 964 Carrera 2. My daughter was born in 1991 and I bought a '91 model as a commemoration. It has already been about 30 years. Every time I drive it, I always say "That's a really nice car!I think it's a good idea.

Unfortunately, I have now temporarily deleted the registration and only run the engine once every couple of weeks, but I have been polishing it to a shine. The oil leak from the engine has gotten a little worse, so I'm keeping it like this for now. I hope to overhaul it and bring it back to life next year.
I now drive a 970se hybrid to work. I also own a 987 but it is also in bad shape and in the hospital. When will it be back? I dream that my two cars will come back to life and I will be able to enjoy my Porsche life.(JUNNAMA)

[9]In order of heaviest clutch: 993 -> Cayman (981) -> GT3 (991), in order of easiest clutch connection: Cayman -> GT3 -> 993Yes, 993 is different from heavy and light, and I still have trouble getting it to work at some point. It's hard to find the meet point or...

The GT3 is too light, and when I switch to a 993 or Alpina right after getting out of it, the first few stop-and-go and shifting gears are not fully adjusted by my left leg, and the reaction force of the clutch pedal makes it impossible to perform delicate operations. It is especially bad with Alpina. lol

In my opinion, it would be great if the GT3 clutch pedal had a little more feel to it.But, the(Mr. Whooper)

10] Having scrapped two 964s, my driving in the rain with a 964 was a mess. The first time in a Carrera 2, the rear end of the car slipped on the straight of a rainy circuit, causing the car to lose control and crash hard into a concrete fence on the left side, wrecking the car.

The second time with the Carrera RS, while driving at about 120 in the passing lane on a rainy highway, the rear end suddenly slid out of control due to a change in wind pressure from the truck while passing a group of large trucks in a row in the left travel lane, and struck the left side fence, bounced back and struck the right side fence, and was struck by the sedan following behind. The vehicle was rear-ended and stopped, but was totaled and wrecked.

I still thinkEven in a straight line, it is affected by small factors such as accelerator on/off and wind pressure, and once the behavior is disturbed, it is uncontrollable.I am convinced that it was. Of course, the fact that it was wet was even more significant.

A car that is very difficult to control the behavior of the rear even on a wide and good surface like a circuit, and easily spins around in the rain.It was.
Many times I have been afraid to plunge in too far because the downhill of the pass is more rear-ended.

If you enter a downhill corner with strong braking, you will not be able to turn because you will not be able to stop. If you force the turn, the rear end will come out easily and you are sure to spin hard, so you cannot turn. More than once, I had to pray to God that there was no oncoming traffic and managed to turn out of the corner in the oncoming lane. Very dangerous car.

But if I ever drive a 911 again, I would choose a 964 with a more enjoyable mechanical feel than a new one.
I want a 964RS. (I'm crushing a valuable one.)（Nice to meet you.)

Porsche 911 Series

11] The 911 Carrera 4 GTS arrived at our house the other day! The interior and exterior design, the sound of the engine, the atmosphere of the cockpit....And I am so glad I stuck with the NA Carrera 4GTS.

It was just as I expected, or even better. As you said, the engine sound somehow makes my heart beat faster. It really is a wonderful car!(Mr. Manma)

[12Have we come this far in 991.2? Can there be any further evolution?I felt that it was a good thing. However, even a layman like myself, who cannot tell much difference between air-cooled, MR, and RR cars, can clearly see the evolution of the new model!
Porsche is still great.

But really, nothing happened during cornering. It just turned like a normal car...(Mr. Whooper)

13] Targa I like it! I've been reserving a Targa 4GTS for a long time, too, but the WW really didn't turn up for the slot after all.Targa GTS is the rarest of the 911 series and the price never drops.Right?

I thought GT3s were rare, but they are being produced all the time... I think the streets are full of GT3s... 992 and this time I'm going to get a Targa! I've been talking to the dealers for a long time now, but how...(Kurumaniasan)

Porsche Test Drive

I read with interest your review of the [14] 718 Cayman. Having previously owned a 718 Boxster MT, I thought that there was quite a difference between when the turbo was working and when it wasn't.

I'm not sure if that's a good thing, but when I drive it at high speeds, some of that drop-off is a nice taste.In urban road conditions, there are many situations where the driver is forced to drive at low speeds before the turbo kicks in.I thought it would be a shame to see more and more situations in which the original 718's good qualities would not be expressed.(Mr. Ishi)

[15] Just like me.911 (991.2) GTS in GT SilverYes, sir!GTS is still too hard in town for daily useI think so, don't you? I think so too. It's uncomfortable.

I think that the best balance of everyday use, sports and versatility is still the Carrera S.

The GT3's engine is sensual, and the GTS is not. But it is a very fun car at the limit. It's a little bit like the 35GTR.Very fun car when properly attacked.It is.

It's a car that I usually think of as more of a different kind of car. I think the Carrera S is by far the best all-around car life balance.(Kurumaniasan)

16] As for the 718 Boxster GTS's difficulty in stalling, it is not that the GTS is special, but probably the difference in displacement between the 2.0L base grade and the 2.5L S or higher grade.

As for the sound, it's hard to say, because there are likes and dislikes. I like the sound of 981, of course.

As for the other comparison between 718 (982) and 981, I thought it was as summarized in your husband's comment. I think even a non-enthusiast can tell the difference by comparing the two.That is how significant the evolution from 981 to 718 is.It will be interesting to see how Porsche will finish the 718, which is rumored to be a hybrid or EV.(Mr. Ishi)

Nissan Note

17] I've never driven a NISMO before.Acceleration is good even with stock e-Power.That's right. Nissan's Vice President Hoshino seemed to have said in an interview, "Our engineers, who are well versed in the fun of cars, have designed the acceleration curve curve and the rise of the e-POWER," so that is what he meant, apart from the absolute acceleration power.

Engineer Tamura also said that he used the acceleration G waveforms of the GT-R for the actual car, and I am sure that the nismoS will be very close to that.
It would be fun if you could try a ride comparison with the GT-R sometime in the future.(PorscheDreamer)

18] I am considering a car for my wife for the next term, but I have been test-driving cars day and night, thinking that I have to choose a car that I can drive and enjoy to some extent. Then I read the master's impressions and thought, "I see! I didn't know there was an alternative to a notebook!I was made aware of this and went to the dealer.

I test drove two vehicles, the NISMO 1200cc gasoline and the e-POWER standard model.The "e-POWER" is an eye-opener!Having experienced the Mitsubishi iMeve and Tesla in the past, I knew the high potential of EV vehicles, but this motor-driven system, the one-pedal philosophy, and the cleverness of the motor control were nothing short of amazing.

I thought it would be possible to drive sporty there with just pedal work. It must be fun with NISMO's suspension.(Taka-san)

Porsche 911 GT3

19] I totally agree with you about the interior noise. I don't mind it, but there seem to be many users who do.Porsche is an expensive car but not a luxury car.I always think that's a good idea.

Well, I had my first ride on the GT3 this year yesterday. It's painful 90% of the time I'm on it, but the sparkling moments are numbing.(Kazu Kogane Hills)

20] I always enjoy looking at your site. My mileage was almost 10,000 kilometers last weekend, and I expect it to be around 13,000 kilometers at the end of May for its one-year inspection. I will keep you posted on the information I have maintained as well.

It travels more than 500 kilometers at a time, and when it is not ridden, sometimes it is not moved for two months.I've had two abnormal tire pressure alarms so far, but as a result, I've only lost more than 0.3 of air.It was. Other than that, I am very satisfied.(Mr. GT3 Touring Package with almost the same specifications)

Tire / Pilot Sport Cup 2

21] The 991.1GT3 had the same tires, Pilot Sport Cup 2, but the stability at high speeds and the grip in the corners were not as good as the degree of tire wear.(Depth of groove)I think it will change with

Naturally, as the grooves decreased, the performance described above decreased, so even with the GT3, the amount of hand sweat increased at high speeds. This was partly because it was time to change tires.Even with the same brand, the ride may change with the degree of tire wear.It may be.(Billiken)

Thank you very much for your comments. I hope that things will settle down and you will be able to enjoy your life with your car again as much as before.
