Whats the greatest Difference 996 C2 and C4

apart from the obvious 2WD and 4WD..... whats the diffrence, I was tol;d by a sales man that C$ has the Qudos, but C2 is preferred in UK... is that true.. I want it to look good... In terms of Colour - BLUE, Black or silver??? I am going for a Tiptronic, and just decided that cabrio, not important, but if i find one within my price then I may go for it. However I am going to put a personalised reg on it... so people cant tell the year... (whats the best on that sense)???

Hi Sid007. Apart from the obvious, other differences are: - weight penalty of the C4 over the C2 (1485kg vs 1425kg) - reduced boot space in the front luggage compartment to allow for the drive to the front wheels (100 litres vs 130 litres). - PSM (Porsche Stability Management) being standard equipment as opposed to optional on the C2. I didn't know that a C4 has more kudos than a C2. It certainly has more weight! Those who are after a C4, we often encourage them to go for the C4S model (heavier still at 1550kg) as it has desirable visual and mechanical differences over and above the C4. Blue/black/silver colours are often referred to as the 'safe' colours; boring but plentiful (especially the latter). Personalised reg plates are a matter of taste. Many have them on here but there are those who don't like them. Good luck in your search and welcome to the forum. ~ Maxie :thumb:

Having driven Carrera 2's aswell as Carrera 4's, I reckon that the C4 can be pushed a fair bit harder when it comes to high speed cornering and just feels alot more solid on the whole, it's better balanced. Around small-ish roundabouts the C2 is a bit nimbler. On the whole, unless your buying a Porsche for it's superior handling abilities, few people will ever push it to it's limits (which are very great!), so I would go for a C2 if you are getting a cab!

I do not think you will tell the difference c2 c4 battle rages on but only you intend to push seriously hard which I guess you dont then not much to choose between em. The c2 owners will say c2 and the c4 owners c4!!! Just find the best car you can for the money, and forget salesman talk.

:yeah: I drove both when looking for mine and only bought a c4 as one turned up with the spec I wanted. Drove plenty of c2's though and they're just as much fun

Blue C4 - the colour looks great all year round in any light. Oh, plus I have one!

If performance and fuel economy are key consideration then the C2 is the one, especially if you like slim hips! C4s are better for winter/wet weather driving for obvious reasons . The C4S seems to be the 996 model which is holding its price. As for Colours" Speed Yellow and Guards Red! Big Bob :bye:
