By itself, you cannot see the width diff as it is just 44mm. Even side-by-side is tough to see it. I think it's all in your head.

The 997.2S front is not floaty. Are you used to front-heavy cars especially FWD?

As others said, the C2S is the better car, unless you need 4WD for traction.

 

Maybe so, but I can tell a difference and I think many C4S owners would agree.

By virtue of the front wheels being driven I thought the C4S felt more connected to the road up front. This is my first rear engined car so a difference no doubt.

Don't get me wrong my car is great and part of the reason I went with the C2S was I felt it was more of a purist sports car. I guess my desire for the C4S is more looks than need for an AWD car. I store mine in the winter and get to enjoy my S4 year round and especially in the snow.

 

I thought that you wanted PDK with the Turbo. I won't argue the CPO used Turbo because given an either/or choice between a new 997S or a CPO Turbo .. i would pick the Turbo . Just be prepared to spend a little extra to upgrade it because the car has extraordinary mod potential.

 

Never buy a new car unless you're absolutely sure you really want it .. They all take huge hits as you drive off the showroom floor.

BTW, I was looking for a C4S when I bought my C2S. I liked the look of the wide *** but thats all I preferred over mine. I'm in So Cal, so I dont need 4WD. The 997.2 is far from light and floaty and the lighter weight and handling are superb. Enjoy your car for a while unless you have cash to burn. Its an awesome car..

 

By the way - i like my car's rear end. I think the 997 C2S is the same width (or wider) than a 996 C4S.

 

Wide butts drive me nuts.

 

i can totally tell the difference between a C2S and C4S by the rear end. I love my cars hips!
