991 GT3 as a daily driver

[FredBasset]

I am thinking of buying a nicely specified 991 GT3 tomorrow, clubsport, buckets, leather dash, cruise, axle lift, nav, heated seats.

I have secure parking at the office and its a 30 mile round trip I'd probably make 3 times a week, the 991 is clearly much better than my old 996.2 GT3 for refinement but I was wondering how others found the 991 GT3 for similar use.

Thanks
Fred

Not sure I could put up with the 'clapped out' sound of the engine etc when going slowly in a line of traffic, I drove one a few weeks ago and it sounded like the big-end had gone and the shunting noise of the transmission was something else!

No odd sounds once the pedal is pressed though.

Yes I did notice that, I have a highly modified Evo that makes some similar noises.

Yes, picking it up Saturday morning.

Thanks for the write up. I did use my 996 GT3 from time to time like this, but that was sometimes a bit too much. The GTS is perfect for road use really.

Worlds Gone soft .......
Used my 64 RS as a daily driver for 7 years .... no problems , no radio ...... just the poor turning circle was an issue

Ha, the very car that put me off 911's years ago. My neighbour had the Rubystone car used in the tests. Far too stiff for the Fen roads but I wasn't really experienced enough to appreciate the dynamics of the car back then.
