Would you say that 964 is good for long trips?
I own a BMW e31 and it is amazing for such rides, but am considering going from the e31 to a 964.

My wife and I went from NYC to Toronto and back last summer in a 911. I'd say it was enjoyable providing you pack efficiently.

Compared to a luxury car, I guess it's firmer, but the big difference is the road noise, of which there is plenty in a 964

Only problem i have with long distance in mine is that the cruise control doesnt work.

Haven't done more than a 500 mile roundtrip, but enjoyed every mile of it!

I do a 1,000 mile trip each year, and have no complaints(except for my non-working AC)

It depends on the cruise speed and the weather conditions. Long trips at high speed with rainy or foggy weather on crowded streets are not much fun. My 964 i very loud in the car when driving german BAB speed (200+).
Last weekend, i`d to visit my parents 350km away and i chose the volkswagen golf for that trip instead of the porsche because of rain and heavy traffic... (i think I get old)

I have done a few NE to FLA round trips in my 964(1,100miles)
Biggest issue for me is the stock seats tend to get uncomfortable after sitting for long stints...A/C and cruise works...much more comfortable then my other 911's(SC and Carrera's)

I drove my car from upstate NY to ATL which is a hair below 1,000 miles. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

I have used my 964 C2 (stock except for H&R reds with Bilstein HD) as a daily driver for 6+ years and as mentioned above, the interior noise is high compared to new cars, or even your 840/850 due to the way the control arms are attached to the body. I find that after longer trips, I notice that I've been in a loud environment. Road noise + climate control noise = higher radio volume. My cell phone headset has to be on max volume to hear the other person.

I don't find rainy or congested areas a problem, and I'm not sure why you would. I drive mine in the rain and snow and don't find I have any issues.

Your 840/850 is a GT class car more comparable to the 928, both of which are great traveling cars and very quiet inside.

I am also considering selling the e31 for a 964. Dont know if I should just own both.

User 'perelet' has both.

Hey, your BMW will be MUCH better for this. That is what it was designed for. But the 964 will be much more entertaining to drive.

YaHoo!

I did a 3,000 mile road trip with my son this summer in my 964. It was a blast. Proof that it was comfortable is that I never had a complaint from my 14 year old.

Having comfortable seats is key. I replaced my originals with GT3 seats and couldn't be happier.
