Funny how in most other cars, 10,000 miles in 6 months wouldn't be newsworthy.... I keep seeing super low mileage 911's and it got me wondering, who else drives their car as much as I do?

Anyone else enjoying their car this much?

We did a few road trips which spiked the first few months, I bet I'll average around 1,000 miles a month now. Don't have a long commute--heck I work from home. But always (always) down for a drive

I can report the car is docile and almost comfortable in traffic, but a beast when appropriate. 18 way seats are almost set just right, still feel a little pressure on right thigh & lower back--but close! Zero issues. No trips to dealer, except voluntarily changed oil at 2500.. One rattle in front left interior A-pillar, annoying enough to point out during next dealer visit--not worth special visit. Picked up a nasty bolt but had no trouble getting tire patched (even with a CL rim). Averaging 19.xx mpg. No track days yet, canyon carving monthly--also monthly PCA drives, cars & coffee, etc. Rear tires look great, I'd hazard a guess that more than 50% is left on them... No expert but wondering if the wider GTS rear = less tire usage due to more rolling surface?

Any other daily drivers out there? Heck.....any 2016's with 5 digit mileage?

No but my 2014 might hit 10K by the end of the summer. Maybe. Lol.

Slantnose!

That's cool.

I'm at 18k for my 2012.5 C2S. It had 7200 miles on it when I bought it two years ago. So much fun to drive!

I met this fellow at the gas station, we were both filling up our 911's. His was late 80's... Some special model celebrating the 250,000th 911 I think he said. Had Porsche's signature embroidered into the headrest. Anyway: 280,000 miles. The car was--well pretty beat up actually. But sounded great and no major body issues. Just 280,000 miles worth of fun extracted from it. He seemed delighted when I let him know I drive mine too. Pointed to my son in the back (we were on way to school). The fellow smiled and said, "yep, the 911 is a great truck"

Searched online... Here is what he had: http://grautogallery.com/vehicles/1822/1988-porsche-911

Cool. 1 of 300. Hope I get 280,000 miles of enjoyment from mine too!

Drive in good health.

Picked up my 13 C4S with 2700 miles.

Currently sitting at slightly over 48,000 miles after 28 months.

Nice! Wonder how many 991's are 50k+ miles...

I drove back and forth from Boca Raton to Santa Monica via Monument Valley on the return. Did about 6100 miles.
Westbound suffered a cracked windshield, eastbound suffered a hole in my condenser resulting in no AC on the return.

Well, I love my 2013 C4S and bought it fully intending to drive it. I just turned 2300 miles in 5 weeks. If there wasn't the constant threat of brutal hail in the afternoons, I would have more on it. I love the 280K story!

OMG Noooooo....

As reported before I did 24,000 miles in 12 months no problems at all. 1 set of tyres, 2 lots of oil and filters. The car had a 125 point vehicle check a week before sale and there were no issues to be reported.

I will never understand why someone would buy a Porsche and then park it in their garage. I have no judgment, but status is not a goal of mine. I just like driving Porsches. I can understand depreciation with mileage but why buy the car if you are worried about that?


My 2014 Boxster S has 25k on it.....and it is just a weekend toy, not my daily driver. You can do the math on miles/year. I also live in the north east where it is friggin cold sometimes.


I got tired of coming home from work in my Lexus and feeling this uncontrollable urge to swap cars so that I can get my Porsche fix. I couldn't stand it anymore so I am replacing my daily driver with a 991.2 next year (but will never get rid of my 981). I will put 20k miles a year on the 911 and plan to keep it 10 years.


Yeah, I like driving Porsches.

Going for the C4S and then do winter tires?

I got my 2016 GTS cabriolet around Halloween. I am nearing 7,000 miles. The car works like a charm. In fact, the engine seems to be finding its voice. It really loosened up and got nasty - in the best possible way - somewhere after the 2,000 mile mark. It is my daily driver. The car is entirely docile and quiet when I want it to be but when I want to open it up in the canyons or along the Pacific Coast Highway, she is a monster. Incredible grip on the road, as well - much more so than my base 991 cabriolet. I am sure that has to do with many factors - bigger booty, bigger wheels, PASM, PDCC, PTV, etc. I plan on driving this car until the wheels drop off. I would love to hit 250k in this car and God willing, it will happen some 20 years from now!

Ha! That is what I would love to do.....but some of us are not made out of money and I need to keep/maintain my 981 too.


I'm sticking to a Base Carrera but with $23k in options plus winter tires. Winter tires on a rear engine car will work just fine for most of my driving. For bad snow storms, any of our 911s will just turn into a snow plow anyway. I have a 4WD RAV4 for those days.

By the time you're ready the lease turn ins will be on the lot. CPO is the way to go.
