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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

i am currently deciding on which one to buy... the 4S is slower to 100 but is better handling around corners... but where i live it dosent snow (Australia) so 4WD isnt that important. I am currently considering a choice between: full aerokit C2 with GT3 sportdesign wheels or Carrera 4S due to the aerokit and wheels and options which dont come standard on the C2 such as full leather etc etc~ the price of both C2 and C4S are approximately the same... Which one should i pick??? all advice will be greatly appreciated guys~ -Dave

POST 2Original post

with yr good weather how abt a change to a c4 cab instead u will get alot of use out of it. hever if set on tin top i would have the c4s

POST 3Original post

Have a C4 cab myself, and love driving with the top down.4 wheel drive is also great when the roads are whet. If you really dont want a cab i would choose the c4. best of luck

POST 4Original post

!Welcome dave! About the great weather in Australia, go for a cabriolet. But ! In any case i would go definately for the C4S it's just beautifull!.(just my heart speaking) Maybe a sunroof makes the deal!

POST 5Original post

Dave, To add to the confusion, I would pick the aerokit (if that corresponds to the GT3-look). But, don't listen to us: follow your heart!

POST 6Original post

All good cars you mentioned(nice predicament) but go for the car that boils your blood more. Drive both and see which is the better one for you. Regards. Mike

POST 7Original post

I got the C4S but now that there is an engine enhancement offered by Porsche, the lighter C2 could be the way to go. This engine upgrade was not available when I got my car. Do a search as there have been several threads on this decision.

POST 8Original post

The 4S will probably hold its value better, if that matters.

POST 9Original post

I have an 01 C4 with the aerokit, wimbledon green, full cinnamon leather, 18 BBS 3 pc racing wheels. Stunningly beautiful expression of engineering art. Although I live in the Seattle area, weather much like your Melborne area, the car does not leave the garage in the wintertime. Car seems glued to the road...
