I agree with everything that has been said. I love my '87 911 and can't ever imagine selling it but I wouldn't like driving it everyday. I feel that's a good thing as it feels all the more special when I do take it out at the weekend. On the other hand my 2002 996 is a fantastic daily driver. I've put nearly 20,000 mile on mine since I bought it last year. I put brand new front rotors and pads on it as soon as I got it. Since then I have done all the servicing myself, including the infamous spark plug change. As far as non-service items I have had to replace a brake light switch, a battery, a side light bulb, the passenger side power window regulator, and I am in the process of replacing the voltage regulator due to dropping charging voltage as the engine warms up. Not too bad really and everything is so easy to work on. The whole car seems to have been designed with easy build and servicing in mind.
As for the performance - breathtaking! I love the way the car accelerates, brakes, and corners. Highway driving is very comfortable and the fuel mileage is fantastic for a 3.6 liter car with over 300bhp.
A friend of mine and fellow 996 owner back in England puts it perfectly - "The most everyday-usable sports car ever made"
