Daily driver 996TTs and GT2's.
 
How many of you guys daily drive a TT or a GT2? Not, "take it to the office on a nice wednesday", but in a, "**** it's a monsoon out there, Boy do I wish I had another car" type of way. Could you share the mileage of your cars? Thoughts, comments?.
Thanks.

Sure, Arabelle is my only car. Drive it 90 miles every day. Great daily driver.

How many miles are on the car?

I drive t work every day, rain or shine (in the summer). Tend to use another vehicle if public parking is part of the outing though.

Like Zippy, we put our cars away in the winter, mine comes out of the garage next week, thank God...can't wait to be honest, then she will be driven hard almost every day for work, picking up groceries etc until close to the first snow fall in late Oct/Nov. Unlike Mike I park my car wherever....Hey Mike.. I have you are penciled in for your June trip...cya then....more mods will be done by then..gearbox ratio's, LSD and maybe cams and heads....I will keep ya posted.

Driving the interior of British Columbia is sooooo much fun in this car, we have some fabulous drives out here.

She is the perfect daily driver and yes I have three kids too and they love the TT too...

My daugther Sam (5) wants a TT cab, Speed Yellow I think.

When i first got the turbo 2 months ago, i was driving it eveyr day in rain and so on, now i havent been and am just keeping it as a weekend, suny day car. I just dont want to beat it up too much but man, it is truely the perfect everyday sports car :D

03 X50 - driven in the rain, sun, DE's, snow (driven it through snow as deep at 14" for about a 1/4 mile - the road and driveway), 85,000 miles, 2.5 years of ownership. It's the bomb.

53,000 miles, 4 years - but no winters. A great "rain" car - covers ground almost as fast in the wet, as when it's dry!

Tom, 85,00 miles in 2.5 years - WOW!

carendt242 Mar 5, 2006 11:51 AM

wow, don't feel so bad now... it's a pain in the ass to have 2 cars in the city, so i'm DD'ing it for now. i thouht abuot buying a more realistic DD but i know i'd never drive it ;)

however, my car *really* sucks in the rain (is it the JICs? 19s? deep rims? don;t know yet)....

I tried to use the TT as a daily driver for a while but it was just too much trouble. Parking, shifting, can't fit clients in the car, rain, door ding potential, etc. So, I finally got the Cayenne S for the DD. Couldn't be happier.

THUMBUP to the interior of British Columbia. The roads from Vancouver to Whistler are just AWESOME (I am at UBC). I would love to do them in a Porsche. Sorry for OT!

It could be a number of things, most likely the tires and wheels!
