Default Test drove the 991.2 C2S

Just came back from a quick test drive with the 991.2 C2S.

Much quieter and more comfortable ride than gen 1 but also a fun when in sports mode.

Living in Canada, I'd like a daily driver. I was told that the C2S handles well in the snow and that there is no need to get the C4S. I was told that if I were to go for the C4S with some options (which would add up) I'd be better off going with the turbo and have most of the options come standard.

What are your thoughts?

I think you will find that it is not a question of traction, but rather ground clearance that is the problem. Where are you in Canada? How much snow do you get?

Toronto. We do get some bad snow at times, but hopefully not too bad in the future. In terms of ground clearance, ithe the base C2S lower to the ground vs the C4S?

I don't know if there is a difference in ground clearance; maybe a couple of mm's - but the issue is that the car will occasionally scrape on dry pavement, so with snow and ice you are guaranteed to be pushing snow unless the road is freshly plowed. All the guys I know with Carreras in MN (C2 & C4) have thrown in the towel come December as it just is impractical. You will get stuck and/or tear up the front valance. Not trying to bum you out, but you don't want a tow truck driver with a room temperature IQ winching your $125,000 car out of a ditch. Buy a ****ter SUV for the winter months.
