Default Flirting with a 964 Turbo ... advice?

Hi ...

I've owned many 911s, currently flirting with a 964 Turbo, and seeking advice on what to look for and how it works as a daily driver.

I've owned a 1987 930 which was a blast to drive but not terribly practical to daily drive -- tended to run real hot in traffic, anemic AC, you know the drill ...

Any advice on pitfalls, good things, etc. much appreciated.

I daily drive mine on a stop/go city commute. The AC works very well, the heater is a bit anemic if it's cold out and you like to drive with the windows down. The car is very luxurious, you don't realize it until you hop into another car. The only downside to this car, being used as a daily driver, are the somewhat heavy steering, the heavy clutch and the tramlining. It's likely the 18" wheels and the wider front tires, but I have heard that all 964 Turbos are quite bad at wandering in ruts, etc.

I daily drive mine in the summer. Its fine, the only thing I dont like is that there isn't any room. I have to jam my golf clubs into the back seat, they dont fit in the trunk. The car is going in for the 45k mile service in a few weeks.... hopefully nothing is wrong.
