996tt everyday car?

[kman]

Hi people,

Currently looking at my first foray into Porsche ownership and on my current budget im looking at possibly a 996tt or 997 c2s...

Just wanted to know how many owners out there use their 996tt's as everyday cars and what issues they come with? The worry for me is the ground clearance and whether its comfortable taking the car over speed ramps/car park ramps etc?

I'd be driving a fair bit in built up town/city area's...

And does the aero kit reduce the clearance further?

Thanks!

I use my 996tt with Aerokit as everyday car including going to work and no problems. Just need to be careful over speed humps but never been a problem

996TT is an awesome everyday road car. Far more special and exploitable that the standard 997 S. If it was me then it would have to be a TT. Only issue is size of fuel tank when car is pushed really hard.

I think you, along with many others (me included) are pondering this choice... I'm more than likely going to go 996tt, such a bargain at mo.!.. Can't wait till X50's are £50k :-)

I test drove several 996tt and a 997s before deciding on the 996tt. for me i wanted the performance and the 996tt certainly delivers.

One of my customer's recently had the same problem but decided to opt for the 997s. A couple of weeks down the line he is now saying that it's not quick enough. now i've not seen him drive so no idea how hard he's driving it or even how good he is. The 997 is a quick car.

my 996tt is only a weekend car but i've no doubt it would perform very well as a daily drive. All really depends what you want / need from the car. Either one is awesome but the turbo is a real wow kind of drive but imo the interior of the 997 is a nicer place to be for really long journeys.
