It has a classic feel, so this Boxster
"At first, I was planning to drive one of the earliest Rover Mini 1000 Sprites, but the Boxster's small body and classic four-spoke steering wheel were what decided me. If it had had a more modern feel, I might not have gotten it," says Katano.
He chose a first-generation Boxster, a 1998 model, almost the same age as him, from the garage of his parents' home in Niigata, where they ran a used car dealership dealing in European cars. Cars have been a part of his life since he was a child.
"The meter panel visible through the steering wheel also has a traditional Porsche feel to it, and I really like it together with the steering wheel."
Katano got his driver's license two and a half years ago at a training camp with friends. This year, he also obtained a secondhand goods dealer license, and he plans to buy and sell used cars in the future.
