Could be a Boxter or the new Cayman

ABSOLUTELY!!! I have a 2002 Boxster S that is my daily driver, rain or shine! Like any car you just have to take care of it. Are parts more expensive? Yes, but you do the work yourself and you can save LOTS of money. An oil change at a dealership is about $200. Do it yourself $70. Air filter at a dealership $89, yourself $26.
Driving one... Priceless!!
You want a soft ride with a lot of roll? Go with the MB. Want a sports car with a lot of performance? Go with a Porsche!

I have a 87 Carrera that I drive every day and the car loves it. Ownership is more affordable if you can do some of it yourself, but if you are talking about a newer Porsche, then perhaps the cost is not an issue. These cars were designed to be driven, and IMO are "happier", meaning fewer mechanical repair issues, if they are driven every day. The engines and drivetrains are robust, and with the exception of the clutch, which should be considered a consumable, they should last well into the 200-300 Km range before major work is needed.

Oh no, no, no, no!
You'll want a Mercedes Benz for everyday use. Take a look at the CLS 550 or the CL 500. Of course the S Class is always a nice choice for a reliable family sedan.
Now if you're interested in a nice roadster the SL Class always pleases. And if you have just way too much disposable income take a peek at the SLR Class.
Follow the star my friend!

Of Course. Porsches are not high strung cars---they can be used everyday. You could deliver newspapers with them if you wanted.

Sure but the maintenance will kill you unless you have some funds. A wiper motor for mine was $1,200.
So you can use as a daily driver just expect the maintenance tab.

Yes. It's a lux. car but its mainstream and made for everyday use. My Carrera is my main everyday car.

Yes, these cars are designed for constant use, not to be stored and babied.
