Default 997 ride quality on bay area highways?

hi,

i've got a 997 non-S on order and have been having some second thoughts about using it as a daily driver around the bay area. i have a long commute from sf to santa clara and take 101/280 depending on traffic. i also do drive in the city.

i was wondering what people's experiences were with the comfort of the ride over these freeways. the highways have lots of cracks/potholes, etc. my current car's a bmw 328ci and i feel like it does pretty well over all the freeways, although i may not want the 911 ride quality to be much worse. when i test drove a 997 a month ago, the ride seemed fairly compliant while handling great, but i was hoping to get more feedback from existing 997 owners.

thanks,
andrew

Andrew,
I've had my 911 on that road many times, and as you must have found out by now, its not that bad. 280 is as good as it gets around here.
