Hello and welcome to the board. Where is your father in the Nor Cal area? I have a C4S that is set up more toward track then street, but I drive it on the street all the time. Even in the crazy rain we had over the past weekend, my 4S felt much more stable then my 5 series BMW or my wifes Volvo.

I did not hear/know that before your post, but it makes sense now that you mention it. How much difference does it make(anyone have pics for comparison)?

My 2 cents.. For primarily street, I would go for the C4S, I'm not biased you know 
... I actually LIKE it when it rains because the 4WD in the corners is a kick with the added traction over 2WD cars. On the track, the 4S does push a lot, but this would not an issue on the street unless you live somewhere where you can safely corner very aggresively. A good stiff rear sway (like the turbo or RS) will help dial this out (my next mod).
As the other Renlisters state, the most important thing is to get a good car that has been properly cared for that is a color your dad will like.. Good luck hunting, that is half the fun!
If you can find a dealer with both 4S and 2S and drive them both (like I did) this is very informative on car feel in the corners as it is different..

mrclean,
cant give you specific space numbers or pictures. But, before we bought the C2 we actually took our biggest suitcase to the dealer and made sure it fit in the front trunk. did not fit in a C4.
