Default Carrera S in Ice Blue

I'm ordering an S for my daily car... anyone care to share their experiences?

I was going to do a Cayman S, but I think I'll spring for the 911.

997S is a perfect daily driver, very comfortable, yet has more than enough speed.

It will compliment your GT collection well.

Fantastic choice. As you have probably seen on previous posts, I drive mine alot. 34K+ mile in a year and will exceed the factory warranty mileage limit in a couple months. Daily driving plus many extensive road trips. A perfect car!

in 1982 when I had my 911 SC, I think Porsche had a blue color very similiar to Ice Blue. I think it was light blue metallic or something like that. It looked really good and I think the Ice Blue will be even better in person.
Good luck with the new purchase!

My first Porsche was an '87 in Diamond Blue. I go to the garage now and look at the Guards Red Carrera S and Macadamia Brown C4S and wonder...... what will I do if they come out with THAT color again.

I love my 6 speed S and my wife's Tip 4S. They're different enough to appreciate the subtleties. We drive 'em every chance we get except in the winter. I can't imagine more involving and sophisticated, yet reliable DD's.

I DD mine and I love it. You may want to double check your options since it will be your DD some of your priorities may lean toward more comfort, like heated seats.

The 991 will be orderable in 12 months from now. I "think" I've decided to wait but I love the Ice blue color with metro blue interior.

My C2S is my DD. Just turned 10k (got it last Halloween). Great choice day in and day out. I just keep the Land Cruiser for airport runs and snow/salt days.

My C2S is my DD as well. I'm glad I have the adaptive sport seats though for longer drives. Excellent support.
