It depends upon what your daily drive will be .
There is no such thing as an ideal car , and an even bigger unicorn hunt for an ideal daily driver .
My current commute is 30 minutes , half freeway at 75-85 / half surface at 0-50 .
On the way home it’s approaching an hour stop-start .
Decent surfaces , wind-down and stay in 1-2 lanes coming home , and pass a grocery store on the way home .
Cannot get down the slope into parking lot so park off-site .
I’m using a boxster tip for this commute .
I’d have no more fun and not get there any quicker using a Carrera , and the same problems I have getting home would be the same .
On the way home , a comfortable suv would be better .
( I used to use a supercharged rangerover on my longer commutes , with heated wheel and cooled seats etc. but gas mileage sucked)
Mainly to see what’s going on ahead , and I could fit a weeks groceries in an suv .
I think maybe 5 days in the boxster , and 3 days in a Carrera . And ikea / Home Depot etc is definately out
Then there’s the damage to think about ...
Depreciation , stone-chips , consumables , parking lot incidents , insurance . Etc.
Gas will be cheaper than an suv , but that’s it .
By an econo-box and you lose that too .
I guess you must ask yourself why you want to drive a porsche to school ....
Do you really want to drive a porsche to school , or do you really want people to see you driving a porsche to school ?
Or you just want free net-flix ???
