What makes the C4S different from the Targa, are the C4S's essentially turbo parts and more robust shape worth the lack of the targa's differentiating huge moonroof?

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Well, for one thing, the C4S is an AWD while the Targa is RWD. Other than that, the C4S has the Turbo's widebody and brakes. The wheels are the same size and style but are solid spoke rather than hollow for the Turbo.

So basically its 4wd, better parts and (handling?) vs essentially a carrera coupe with a huge sunroof?
POST 4Original post
No, the C4S does not necessarily have better parts and handling. It may do better on slippery surfaces but not much in the dry. The C4S is also heavier than the Targa by 121 lbs.

did i make a bad choice with the targa? the huge moonroof is the only thing that differentiates it from the carrera coupe right?
POST 6Original post
Why would it be a bad choice. You get what you like. Different strokes for different folks.

It's the car you like, and you went for it. Some like black, some like silver, Streisand wanted Purple!!! . It is an excellent car. Not only is it a Porsche, it is a 4 seasons sunroom on 4 wheels!! Conratulations! Post pics!!!

Hey all, I picked up my 2002 Targa about 2 weeks ago, black on black 6spd. I couldn't be happier. This is my first Porsche (I'm only 23 though) and the first time I have ever driven one! You definitely made a good decision, although buying any Porsche is a good decision. I too was debating between a C4s and a Targa, I went for the Targa and I just ordered a 2002 Turbo front bumper and a RUF Turbo rear bumper for narrow bodies. I am soooo excited. If you have any questions about the Targa, I'd be happy to answer them! Best Regards, Dan
