This is technically on topic given OP’s concern about suitability as a daily driver, but we could continue in the general 911 discussion thread if there’s further interest.
The definition of “daily driver” will vary dramatically based on what comprises a given driver’s day.
It could very well be more pleasant as a freeway commuter than a suburban grocery getter and a way to get to brunch.
Relative to older 911s, I’d agree ![]()
I hated the 2014. I didn’t hate the 2019.
The long doors on any coupe are impractical in smaller parking spaces when it’s time to load a case of garbanzo beans or a new chainsaw onto the floor in front of the passenger seat, and then of course you have to retrieve these things when you get home. (I know it has a frunk)
Seating comfort ranged from intolerable to just passable, depending on how the side bolsters were adjusted.
It also takes too much effort to repeatedly enter and exit while knocking out errands: Vons, then the dry cleaner, lunch, Mom’s house, off to Target, and on and on.
And it had a really low fun quotient for my use case compared to my e-tron. I mainly missed the instant torque at stoplights.
This car takes a lot more effort to get the same type of power output (also noted in the 2014, but this has dramatically improved), and therefore I was pretty sure most of the performance would be left untapped.
The question I couldn’t answer was: “What am I getting in return for all of these compromises?”
