Some weeks I drive it daily and others only the weekends. It all depends on what I'm doing and what mood I'm in. But, I do try and drive it as much as I can cause it's an awesome car to drive!

No, I do not.......the wife does . But she lets me on weekends.
I do, however, drive the turbo everyday .
Seriously..... as far as daily dependability, pre-964s would be considered questionable (by some)....993s were bulletproof... 996s a none-issue.
Dependability completely aside..... decided a long time ago, this person enjoyed driving way-to-much to relegate it to certain days (or certain seasons)........life is short bud, enjoy.

I have 5 cars

I try to drive my C4S only in nice weather, not because I don’t want it get wet but because most people in South Florida don’t know how to drive when it’s dry. But when it’s nice out
it’s the only car I drive everyday. Work is a 72 miles round trip.
