That is simply not the case with the 991 version - very livable as a Daily Driver.
True, I should have said 996 or 997. The new one is such a different car that I sometimes find it hard to even consider it a GT3. The 997 is probably my favorite vehicle that I've ever driven precisely because it's brutal. The clutch is not hydraulically assisted, for example, so it takes real strength to press down and the action of the shifter is precise unlike any other car. You really need to focus to drive it smoothly which is why I think it would be very tiresome on a daily commute but it's just perfect when you really want to drive it.

I think the 991 GT3 has the same kind of PASM shocks (Bilstein Damptronic) as the regular 911 and it's an automatic so it would probably be fine as your only car.
