Do a search on the Rennlist 993 forum, there's a lot of information over there.
But to answer some of your questions
1. Yes, it is civilized enough to be a daily driver. Year round here in Chicago.
2. A/C is the best of the air cooled 911s but it's not great. Mine blows somewhat cool air. Though, I know of people in hot areas who will dedicate the time and money to get it blowing cold. 15 year old compressors and condensors wear out, etc.
3. Clutch effort is fine. They usually last anywhere from 40-100K miles. Don't know of any issues with the G50 transmissions.
4. Valve guides themselves are fine but do a search on SAI. It doesn't cause any performance issues but you could fail your emissions test. Depending where you live it might be a deal breaker.
Over it's a great car, I think of it as a more civilized version of my SC. Just remember that it's a 15 year old car and wear items, if they haven't been addressed, will be an issue. Suspension, clutch, odd electrical gremlins.
Good luck with your search.
Tony
