That was me up until the fall of 2008 when I test drove the recently launched 2009 997.2. It was game over after that as I wanted a 911 ever since.

Porsche's sport cars are definitely better suited as a 2nd, 3rd, 4th car and not as a daily driver. |
I could easily see myself on my 911 as daily driver. The base 911, the Carrera S, and the Turbo models are all quite comfortable. Things get hairy for people desperate to get on a GT3. That's definitely not a daily driver.
