Great choice in cars! I have the B7 RS4 and a 997.1 targa 4S and love both cars - it would be hard to part with either one. If you go to 1 car, I'd go with a 997 C4S or targa 4S since you can run it all year in CO with some winter tires. As others have stated, the 997.2 does give you the LEDs (you can buy aftermarket ones for the 997.1) and 30 more hp.
I need 4 doors enough that I would need to keep the sedan.

I am a big fan of the B7 RS4.
Definitely will snow up the C4S.
Will have access to the X5 when I need more than 2 doors.

I agree with all the previous posters. I have had both a 997.1 and a 997.2 S models. The PCM in the newer version is far superior, although I think most would agree still not great. The 997.2 is a little quicker, maybe 2/10 second 0-60, manual tranny. I like the engine sund better in the older version, but my 997.2 had sport exhaust that, when activated, made up for the less appealing basic exhaust note. Personally I was not crazy abut the LED lighting, but many people do like them.
Thank you.

I'm sure you've been reading the "C4S as daily driver thread"...
I'm also in colorado and the car works great for me. I've owned both 997.1 and 997.2 C4S, and do like the .2 better. A little more power, I prefer the sound of the new Sport Exhaust. Also think it's one of the prettiest 911s ever produced, except maybe for the 993 Turbo I had. My avatar pic has my winter wheels and tires.
I've been thinking hard about the 991 C4S. Have had the opportunity to drive 991s for a few days and I really like the car. Personally I will probably wait 3 years or so. In terms of price, you may still find some 2012 C4S cars at a discount. Base on the 991 C4S is about $105k, and I bet you'll be around $120k by the time you put in the "necessary" options.
PM me if I can be of any assistance!

I may reach out to you once I get myself a little more educated.
Thanks for the offer.

Wow, that would complete my p-car set of g-red 911's. Better than a t-bill as an investment too. Someone please buy that thing before I do something that will land me in divorce court.

OP, how do you keep that under carriage so clean/pristine? Power wash? Simple Green? Very impressive. I must admit that I'm feeling a little inadequate re the maintenance of my car's under carriage.

Once removed, basic road grime is easily washed off.
