I have owned 3 997 TTs, and they are great daily drivers. I would say the maintenance costs for these cars is below average compared to the other 911 turbos I have owned, and as others have said, the highway mileage is great. And I can fit enough luggage for my wife and I to take long trips to New England to visit family from Maryland where I live. No problems on my recent car - AWE upgraded so the power just keeps on coming...

My turbo gets better mpg than my dd M3, i've had no Durability and maintenance issues with either one. Life is to short, enjoy it when ever you get a chance...
ps. You'll love the turbo

I am selling my C4S and thinking about getting a turbo myself.
