I suppose its a good thing you're looking at a C4S in Toronto - but I just don't get the appeal of having an AWD base/S Carrera in climates like Florida or California. Unneccessary weight IMO. Why the Turbo body isn't offered on the C2S is beyond me...
the widebody looks damn good and adds stability, the awd is a bonus safety net in the rain and you can barely tell its there

it's called the GT2....
Uh, no. The GT2 body is different from the turbo and more expensive than a turbo. The C4S is the Turbo body on an AWD Carrera.

05 4S is a 996.

06 is first year for the 997 4S.


I would wait on the 997 though. It's like a completely different car.

Both have that "boxer" sound. I would get it if you have another car to drive.
A Carrera and STI sound nothing alike, boxer or not.

It sounds like you wanna keep your STi....so anything we're saying seems pointless.

Also, more background info around your purchase would help us provide more useful suggestions.
