Is the 2009 Carrera pdk right for me?

[capncrunch]

I am thinking about selling my minty '74 Targa and my current daily driver ('05 G35) as I think I have a good deal on a very low miles 2009 Carrera pdk.

Question is will I be happy in the '09 911 as a daily driver about 30 minutes of no traffic driving and a 90 commute into a large city about every 2 weeks.
I want fairly low maintenance ride, comfort, fairly easy in and out and a nice acceleration curve.

I am convinced I'll like the performance but I wonder if I'll find it too stiff - I take no enjoyment from feeling every pebble on the road but I've done track days and certainly enjoy a spirited ride or on-ramp.

Other issue is I am compromising on colour - I really want blue but this one is white which I swore I would not consider but I think it's growing on me.

2009 is the first year of the PDK is that bad?

Sidenote: Breaks my heart to sell the old targa but I just don't drive it much as it does not have heat or AC and it can be noisy. Otherwise the car has been an absolute gem, never left me stranded, basically no issues and it turns heads.

Part of this post is therapy just looking for general comments and maybe if there are any certain problems with the '09 Carrera pdk.

Is it an S ?
What suspension package and wheels are on it ?
What options does it have ?

I use an 09 pdk for my daily .

Keep the Targa, buy the 997, sell the G35.

Non S, Stock wheels ("standard carrera IV wheel") and tires options are limited but I like the heated seats and sat radio. I can't test the car until mid-month I just hope its not too gnarly on rougher roads. I know this may be unpopular but I'd consider putting 18's on it for a softer ride. It's not that I don't like sporty just don't want to have to wear a mouthguard. ; )

I think Itusler nailed it - I think my '74 will keep going up in value and its too fun when I actually give it some attention and drive it.

I gotta admit the G has been really great to me.

I think you'll like the 997 .
It will feel more planted and purposefull than your g , yet smoother and more refined than your targa .
