Daily Driver?...
#107
As for the daily driver part of it, I would bet most that live in the snow belt that drive their cars in the dead of winter (slush, salt, etc) probably have them leased. They are in and out of the car in a matter of years, so why would they care about long term 911 ownership. I picked up a 2015 GTS MT last summer with 101 miles on it.

I loved my Audi S6 - it is a beast and feels seriously fast. It’s got 4 big doors and plenty of space inside too. However , once I got my hands on a 991.1 C4S- I never drove the S6 anymore. Even if it meant cramming kids into the rear “ seats” and smashing baseball gear into the frunk. My Porsche is my daily. In the city , in the snow and in traffic. And I’m thinking to get into a manual 991.2 next. I may regret that.

Got it. I just could not see getting four of the same car when they are all basically the same.

Oh, that's basic ergonomics at work. I thought it might be something else..I am 5-11 and never had an issue, but you are in all different league obviously

I won't drive it in snow, however (unless I get caught out in an unexpected snowstorm by mistake). But that's more about not wanting crappy drivers to slide into me than anything else.

It only takes me about 30 minutes to do a quick wash on my car. The low height and general petite dimensions really make it easy. Hardest part of the whole endeavor are the darn wheels... those are 20 of the 30 minutes.

Pretty sure the 305's on my rear wheels, coupled with the height of the car, preclude me ever trying to put mine through a regular car wash even if I wanted to. I'm not sure though, given I've never tried.

Love the traffic 7 days a week regardless of the time of day. Since your in Burlingame, you must love those bad areas (Traffic) Millbrae, 3rd Ave, 92 bridge exit and Hillsdale. BTW, coming back from SJ to Burlingame, avoid the fast lane and the lane beside it as it was chock-full of potholes. I saw some brand new ones and small ones before getting bigger now with the rains.

Tell me about it. I got home from work today and absolutely had to hand wash my GTS at 36°F . I keep the hose in the garage so it's ready to go.

Daily drive? Absolutely!
The 2013 CPO 911.1 MT C2S in my garage has performed as expected. Simply rewarding. It's been driven hard, sonorously reaching for red line some of the time and predictably soft, when conditions demand it. I've ran the gears over 16K miles of road in the ten months of ownership without any mechanical problems or regret. Once I treated the machine more like a sports car and less of a shiny-polished object, it became even more enjoyable. I look forward to rolling it down the road during the commute in the morning.
