I wasn't thrilled with the look of the 996 when I got one. Though I bought my car used, it was still the latest body style, so I felt like I was buying a "new" car.
I've come to really like my car, and though I like the 997 and it does look more "Porsche" I honestly don't care
My car is street/track, probably too stiff for most but I just have so much fun driving it around town.
The other advantage worth mentioning is that the climate control system in the 996/997 puts prior 911's to shame. I often drive DE with the AC full on. If it's hot out, and you see me, check inside, it's on. Even with the windows down, the system still keeps it relatively cool. I can also keep the windows fairly open in the winter with the heat full blast, if I wanted to, and be totally comfortable.
Climate control, PSM, decent stereo system, the only complaint for a daily driver (and why I miss my e46) is the cup holders are a joke at best
