Test Drive Review of the Panamera GTS: Is the GTS the One to Buy, or Should You Go for th...

Previously, I have done a review of the Panamera GTS, but this time I was able to borrow one as a loaner for several days, which allowed me to experience it much more thoroughly. Since I was able to drive it in various scenarios—from daily use to the highway—I’d like to consider the position of the GTS based on my ownership experience with the Turbo, as well as test drives of the 4S and Hybrid...

Test Drive of the 981 Boxster Spyder: Exquisite Sound and Superb Handling! Also Comparing...

Recently, I wrote a test drive article on the current 718 Spyder, but this time, it’s a review of the previous generation 981 Spyder. I’ve known several people around me who own the 981 Spyder, so I’ve seen it many times and felt familiar with the car. Also, since it’s a sibling model to the 981 Boxster GTS that we have at home, it always felt very close to me. Perhaps because of that, I...

Recently, I’d like to share my perspective on the base model (base grade) of the 718 Cayman that my wife reviewed. A 718 Cayman Loaded with Options I’ve previously test-driven two base grade 718 Caymans, but both had only the bare minimum of options. However, this particular car is very rare, equipped with 20-inch wheels plus the three essential options: the Sport Chrono Package, PASM, and Sport Exhaust. Base grade Caymans rarely come with a...

Test Drive of the New 718 Spider: How Does It Sound? Ride Comfort? Handling?

Test Drive of the New 718 Spider Since its release, the 718 Spider has gradually started appearing here and there on the streets. This time, I finally had the opportunity to take it for a test drive. The 718 Spider I drove this time featured a Crayon body color with a red soft top and the Spider Classic interior package—a truly classic and irresistible combination. Personally, this design alone makes me want one. It’s simply...

Test Drive of the New Porsche 911 Targa (992): The Most Luxurious Way to Enjoy a 911

The other day, I happened to have the opportunity to experience the new Porsche 911 Targa 4 (992 model), so I’d like to share my report. Porsche 911 Targa 4 (992) This time, I test drove the latest 992-generation Targa 4. It goes without saying, but the Targa is neither a cabriolet nor a coupe. The Targa bar, which corresponds to the B-pillar, is located in the center of the body, enhancing rigidity and providing...

What’s the Difference Between the Porsche 911 Cabriolet and Boxster?

Comparing the 991.1 Carrera S Cabriolet and the 981 Boxster GTS If you’ve ever considered buying a Porsche convertible, you’ve probably asked yourself this question at least once: “What’s the difference between the 911 Cabriolet and the Boxster?” I used to wonder about this a lot myself. I understand the difference between a 4-seater and a 2-seater, and I get the difference between RR and MR layouts. But how do they differ in terms of...

[Test Drive Report] Macan GTS – Understanding the Differences Between Early and Later Models

My husband had the opportunity to test drive the Porsche Macan GTS and wrote up his impressions. Please take a look if you’re interested. Recently, the facelifted Macan model was announced, and around the same time, we had the chance to test drive the later version of the Macan GTS (which will eventually be called the mid-cycle model). This time, I’d like to focus on comparing it with the earlier Turbo model I had driven...

The Allure of the Porsche 911 (992): The Joy of Throttle Control

Throttle Control in the Porsche 911 (992) The other day, I shared an article praising the base model of the 992 Porsche 911, and I mentioned that my husband’s Porsche friends were also amazed and impressed by the performance of the 992 base model. When I later asked one of them what exactly they liked so much, they said: “The handling and solid suspension feel almost comparable to a GT3,” and on top of the...

What Happens When My Paper-Driver Sister Drives a Porsche 911 for the First Time?

My Sister Who Bought a Mini The other day, I wrote an article about my husband’s sister, who, after 20 years as a paper driver, finally bought her first car. The car she chose was a BMW Mini Cooper D (3-door) in a stylish British Racing Green with a white roof. She’s been driving almost every day and taking special lessons from her husband on weekends, even practicing on the Royu Driveway, so she’s gotten...
