The 6th Year of Our 981 Boxster GTS Our Boxster just passed its second inspection this November. Until now, my husband used to say things like, “I wonder if the time will come to part with the Boxster someday…” But as he’s driven it more, he’s discovered new joys and charms, kept up with maintenance, continued the extended warranty… I think he’s finally decided to keep it for the long haul. That said, he rarely...

Real Impressions from Porsche Owners: Experiences with the 718, 981, 970 Panamera, and More

About Porsche My spouse and I know many people who drive Porsches and have had quite a few opportunities to test drive at dealerships, so I think we’ve driven more Porsches than the average person. Still, we obviously haven’t driven every model, so there’s a lot we don’t know or understand about Porsche.

What Happens When I, a 981 Boxster GTS Driver, Take the 718 Boxster GTS for a Spin?

718 Boxster GTS About a year ago, I had the chance to drive a friend of my husband’s 718 Boxster GTS (MT). However, at that time, I wasn’t very confident driving a manual car, so my husband warned me on the spot: Mina, better not. You’ll break the clutch.
