Another daily driver checking in... 15k miles so far on a 2017 C4S - almost half of that was road trips all over the western US, but the other half was daily commuting into Seattle every day.

I get to work earlier. Not because I can drive there faster than before, but because I still get up every morning looking forward to the drive.

Another daily driver checking in here. Houston, TX city roads (horrible. Just horrible), sport suspension, no FAL. Love every moment of every drive, every day.

Everyday unless I'm going to see a customer. SQ5 for that and really bad days in winter. Great daily. Don't get mad when someone needs to be picked up/dropped off or I get sent to store.....

I have had mine just over a month. LOVE IT. However, the nutty drivers scare the hell out of me. I got it, a 2007, with 19,500 miles. Guards Red Cabriolet S, and now have 21K miles. My plan is to only put about 6k a year on it, but that might be babying the car too much now that I see other posts. Would love a Cayman S as a DD..maybe in the near future.

I drive my 991.1 almost daily (we'll call it semi-daily). No problems.

On the weekends I drive a 1969 911 with lightweight options.

I live and work in a small KS town. Going to work in a 911 is just a little over the top in rural KS. However,
like probably everyone on this forum, we appreciate interesting cars. I dd a ‘93 MB 300D. And when weather is bad then the Cayenne diesel. Those old MBs are amazingly well made.

I daily drive my Targa GTS, even in Canadian winters. Only had one day this year where I couldn't take it out because there was too much snow piled up in front of the garage. Winter can be tough on the car, I am getting a post winter paint correction and wax today, however. Makes the car look like new.

Is that a high mileage badge on the grille? 100,000 miles?

Pretty impressive. Don't know many 911s that are DDed in Toronto. How is it in the winter? Is the ground clearance sufficient? What area do you live in? Why not PPF?

I daily drive my 2014 911/50th on a 50 mile round-trip each day. I run it for two to three weeks and then throw the 1988 911 Cab into the rotation for a week. The 1988 was my daily driver for about 8 years averaging about 8K/yr but I am giving her a rest. The 991 does it all well as did the 911 Cab (after getting a Griffith's A/C retrofitted). I live in a small southern town so there are not a lot of aggressive drivers. There is a 996 GT3 in the area that I see occasionally and a few Boxsters and older 911s. No 991s other than mine that I've seen. You'll love it as your daily driver.

Really inspiring reading all these DD experiences! Anyone here tried both base Carrera and Carrera S as a DD? Any important difference that may be worth the price?
