My 1995 993 was a daily driver for about the last 8 years prior to my retirement. Roughly 15 miles each way, every day. It's also been driven at an average of 4 driver's ed weekends each year. Other than the lack of adequate A/C for Florida, it was a great experience. No reliability problems or premature wear items.
It has about 157,000 miles on the ODO now. We just pulled the engine for a clutch replacement and new gaskets. I was prepared to do a top end, but with leakdown numbers at or below 5% on all cylinders, there was no reason to go into it. We fixed the oil leaks, replaced some rubber and hoses, did the clutch and then I spent way too much time cleaning anything I could reach. Now it's back on the road for another 100,000! All cleaned and ready for replacement in the car
