I started testing my 914 as a commuter car this month. Just moved in February, and my commute is now 100 miles round trip, over some steep, twisty mountain roads. Temperatures this month have been extreme - we've been in the 100's here since 7/11, and it's supposed to continue until the end of the month at least.

Depending on your commute, I'd say be prepared for a lot of maintenance. My 914 runs great, but at this rate I would have to spend 1-2 weekends a month doing regular maintenance on it. For me, the only drawback has been lack of a/c. Driving the 914 after it's been sitting under the sun in 90-100 degree weather for a few hours sucks. By the time I get home, I have to change my clothes and drink a liter or two of water.

I only got stranded once, when my 7-year-old battery gave up on me. But I still take a cell phone and my AAA card with me whereever I go.
