'11 C2S or ’10 C4S. Which would you choose? Same price, all else basically equal.
I have the opportunity to buy either a ’11 C2S or ’10 C4S at the same price.* Both are very low miles, ’11 has 2K, ’10 has 9K, both are similarly optioned including sports chrono, both manual.* Same interior and exterior color.
The ’10 C4S will come CPO’d with warranty going to 2016.* The ’11 will not come CPO’d for the price I’m willing to pay.* It will come with the remainder of the new car warranty out to 2015.* They will CPO it for an additional $3K, however I wouldn’t do that in this scenario.
The car will be my daily driver; however I will not drive it in snow or otherwise bad weather.* I have another vehicle to use for such occasions. *

C4S with CPO is a better deal IMO if all is equal. Do not discount the extra years of warranty, it may prove itself worthy... also, you know it's a well maintained car.
I LOVE the wide body and the AWD for rainy days and better traction all around, but most like straight RWD.

I like the way the 2WD drives better, more Porsche like (to me).
Not sure what price range you're in, but you could look for a 2011/12 GTS to get the wide body in a 2 wheel drive car. That is what I am doing.

Given that you won't use in inclement weather I'd get the c2s. You have another car for that. Wide body looks good but the 997.2 is pretty wide back there regardless. I prefer the lighter rwd but others like the 4wd
10 or 11 doesn't matter. You have several years of warranty regardless.
Drive them both and see which driving experience you prefer. I did and chose the c2s.

Matt,
It looks like these guys are "no help"
This group is pretty split - but I think that MarkPcar had an interesting suggestion regarding the GTS. All things being equal I would go with the newer car with fewer miles (and slightly better gas mileage) - but ultimately it should be whatever car drives best to you. Good luck.
