Wow. That's a good question. I'm surprised no one has asked it before.

IMHO (since you asked ) NoCal is not enough rain to justify the added weight, complexity, and maintenace of a C4. Get the 2S if you're looking for extra-widebody stance. But also keep in mind that the standard C2 width is approx that of the 930, so relative to the pre-964s, it already IS a "widebody." Not to detract from the C2S or C4S, but the extrawide rear doesn't look as well proportioned to my eyes ...again, my opinion since you asked

Loopster, on behalf of Rennlist I apologize for the smart-aleck responses you've gotten so far. You see, the question is asked so often that we have a hard time summoning the energy to address it.

That said, I'll give it a shot.

Nah, I'm too tired right now.

Can't go wrong, but the C2S has a few more things going for it IMO (especially as a non-daily driver), including--

* Slightly more rare (1752 C2S's imported v. 2327 C4S's).
* Cool cosmetic features including split rear grill, special grained leather on dash and doors, alu shifter, handbrake and door sills, Carrera S logo on tachometer.

That said, if you are going to drive it in bad weather (or maybe even as a daily driver), there is a lot to be said for having the 4 wheel drive.

In the end, I'd probably go for the best example I could find, whether it be a 2S or a 4S.
