911 as everyday/commuter car?

I was wondering if some folks could give me their thoughts, pros/cons of having a 911 as an everyday commuting car.

I currently drive about 40 minutes, 4 days a week, of which 20 minutes are back roads and 20 minutes are highway.

I am board as all hell with my current car, and I want something fun.

I am looking at an older 911, something in the 2001-2003 range, with 50k or less miles.

I would love to get some opinions, thanks in advance!

Been using mine as a daily driver for over 15-years and I can't tell you how enjoyable it really is! A blast every single day! Never any issues.

With proper maintenance the 911 is a great daily commuter and we have many clients who love to drive their Porsche on a regular basis.

well if you got an auto, traffic wouldn't matter. it is about as comfortable as it gets for a sports car.
