Sold My 911 Carrera T After 8,000km: The Story Behind It and My Next Beloved Porsche

At the very end of last year, just before the year closed out, I parted ways with my 911 Carrera T. The mileage was 8,000 km. It was the first Porsche I bought with my own money—my very own Porsche. I was particular about the specifications, and driving it was an absolute joy. I agonized quite a bit before deciding to let it go, but today I want to share the reasons behind that decision...

How Our Family’s Car Choices Have Evolved: Fun Driving, Comfort, or Compactness?

As our children were born and grew up, our car life changed. Before we had kids, my husband drove a sports car he’d owned since his single days, but as our children arrived and grew, our criteria for choosing cars shifted dramatically.

Honestly, I don’t know...

Last year’s announcement of the Test Drive Car of the Year was a big hit (?). In this article, my husband, who regularly gets to drive a variety of cars thanks to readers and acquaintances, will share his top three most impressive cars he test drove in 2023.

Test Drive: Porsche 911 Turbo (997)|The Origin of Turbo’s Dual Nature

Following my test drive of the 987 Cayman, I had the opportunity to drive the 997-generation 911 Turbo, so I’d like to share my report. Porsche 911 Turbo (997) The 997-generation Porsche 911 marked a break from the 996’s teardrop headlights, deliberately returning to the classic round headlights reminiscent of the air-cooled era. I vividly remember when it was first released. Its design evolved from the 993, featuring a nicely rounded body that strongly retained...

Porsche 911 Dakar In-Depth Review [Part 2]: Performance on the Highway and Final Thoughts

Following up on the first part of the article, this time I’d like to share the second part. Highway Performance: Stability and Power Once on the highway, still in the break-in period, I pressed the accelerator a little harder just past the tollgate. As expected from an engine based on the GTS, the power and torque surge impressively from a certain RPM range upward. At low revs, the Carrera actually felt more responsive and quicker,...
