Since getting home, I've been using the car as my daily driver. We've had some terrible (fun) weather, which has given me a chance to really test the capabilities of the awd system. Man, it is INCREDIBLE.
Over and over, I hear the 993 system is better, but the locking differentials in the 964 allow this car to drive through INSANE snow. We had two days of snow, and our driveway hadn't been cleared yet... I motored right up, fully expecting to get high-centered once I drove through the hump at the end of the driveway. NOPE... it only bogged down once I let off the gas. I backed up, and on the second pass it just kept going, right up to my garage. It's really amazing, almost like the car slides along on its belly as long as the diffs are locked and you keep on the gas. I'll have to shoot some video.
Anyway, more importantly, the car is getting very "real world" daily driver use. I got the kid seats in it, and have been dropping off my daughter to daycare and then going to work in it every day, doing errands, getting groceries etc. The car is not being pampered, that's for sure... it's not even being parked inside
One thing you "sunday drivers" may not know about the 911: it has a built-in bread and eggs protector for when you load your groceries in the back:
place your eggs & bread on the seat bottom
Then fold the seatback down and pile your groceries on:
More observation to come, as I learn to live with a 964 as a daily driver
