Generally I drive my Boxster around 10 miles every day. Once warmed up, I try to red line at least twice before getting to my destination. It's good fun, and even though it's not lightning quick it still does feel good to be able to hit the red before getting into 2nd.

So honestly I probably redline 3 to 5 times a day every 10 miles.

EDIT: Also, as I found out, the tires make an enormous difference in ride quality, I swapped my tires for some cheap Kumho Ecsta ASX's and they ride amazing, work's really well as a daily driver now with reasonable grip.
