I'm an older (near 60) f*art and have been driving Porsche's since 85 as my daily drive. Love the cars. Why buy a car and only use it on the weekend to the CC or beach?? These cars are ment to be driven daily, enjoy the car as it was ment to be...namely driven not just looked at! BTW I have painted seat backs and my solution for my briefcase and laptop is to place the laptop on the drivers side rear seat and stand the briefcase up sideways in the rear seat well. I plaace a large soft bath towel over the briefcase to keep it from scratching the seatback. I just drove up from Clearwater Fl to Gainsville Fl last night (for the UF game) and used a small traveling suitcase which fit nicely on the passenger foot well if the passenger seat is pushed back. I had a nice comfortable fun drive in a great car that can run with the best of them.
Hope this helps & enjoy your turbo on the road,
Mike

There's "zero" room for anything more than a few bags of luggage since I carry a spare.
MMD- You're not one of those guys that drives his spare tire around in the rear passenger seat?

Used 996TTS and 997TT as daily drivers.....generally solid, but 599 is "easier" daily driver....
However, would argue 997TT Coupe (not Cab) is one of 2-3 safest (consider both active/passive safety) commuter cars on planet (along w/CL63/65) ...and likely far safer than any F....
997TT's major commute issues: some 17gall fuel tank (would get 8MPG in my <5mi intra-urban commute; 13MPG on fwy/twisties; annoyingly short range); turbo lag is glaring on fast, urban fwys....if trying to solve "jigsaw puzzles"...esp if accustomed to 599/65-like tq/mid-range response; low ground clearance (997TT is worse than 996TTS; and far worse than 599)...need to consider certain driveway angles at home/gas stations/pkg garages, etc esp if in hilly/urban region; no Bluetooth (F has had for yrs); trunk space that's a large glovebox....even rumples wkly dry cleaning (599 and 430 have more useable trunks)....and placing unsecured objects in passenger compartment may not be brightest decision in any emgcy deceleration/collision ....

Wish it would be quieter as I accelerate, a little difficult to talk on the phone and punch car at the same time.
