Is there a reason to buy, or not to buy a 993 C4 over a 993 C2? I was originally looking for a C2, but found a couple of C4's. Which would you guy's rather have and why?
Thanks

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I will not be driving in any kind of bad weather,no snow, not even rain. Just pleasure use, on the street. Are there any driving differences? handling? etc?

If you don't need the advantages of all weather traction, C2 would be lighter, a tad faster acceleration and will handle more like a rear wheel car should. Also, you'll have one less thing that can break in the car. C4's also tend to understeer a bit more than the C2's it seems.
But if you find the car that you like, with the options and mileage that you want, don't let the fact that is a C4 stop you from getting it.

jnx,
If you are looking for a C2 I would consider Kelly's (a fellow rennlister). Very nice and well taken care example of a C2.

Wow....more C4 slams!. I happen to love mine, especially the way you can feel the front wheels pull through a turn. For me, there is more to the term "enjoyment" than "A Tad lighter and a Tad faster"
Just my totally biased opinion. No flaming intended.

In dry conditions, the C4 is 4 percent power to the front wheels, and 96 to the rear. You really can't tell the difference unless you're in slippery conditions or driving it aggressively. There's a reason why they made the 993 twin turbos all-wheel drive. I've owned both, and love the C4 in all kinds of weather.

You guys are just too funny when this question gets asked...
Just get the best cared for, best documented, lowest mileage 993 you can afford...you can't go wrong with either a C2 or C4. Once you get one or the other, you will never know the subtle differences to the one you didn't get...and thus it won't really matter!
I personally like my current 993 with its "training wheels" (all terrain snow monster!) If winters were any consideration for you (and you mentioned they weren't) the C4 may have certain advantages...however, with proper snow tires, I think ANY car can be awesome in inclement weather...whether a C2 or C4.
So I guess I am back to my original statement in paragraph two above. Good luck with your search~!
