Rather than listen to views of people of differing abilities and needs for what a car has to offer, I would suggest that you arrange test drives of the cars you are interested in and make up your own mind.

So many threads have people giving forth advice on the best car and they are either spouting what they have read somewhere and want to sound knowledgable, or are limited to their own personal preferences. Only you know whether a particular car is suited to you.


Again, I have driven both - my question was more about living with the boot space in the C4 - and driving the C2 in winter - something i cant do, unless i wait till winter to test drive one!

I found the boot in the C4 was too small to take my guitar amp, but it fitted OK in the C2. I didn't fancy trying to feed it in behind the seats, but I can get the guitar in behind.

Going away for a long weekend is feasible for two of us, with just the boot and no bags in the car.

I have driven a few of each, and to my mind, there is more 'feel' in a C2.

The C4 simply reinvents physics in the snow yes


Has anyone driven the C2 in the snow? any comments?


I got caught in the Lakes district during the infamous blizzard back in March in my (now sold) 03 C2 with PSM.
The car was impressively easy to drive in the snow, holding a nice tight line, and allowing me to overtake stranded cars on the M6. I wouldnt have had a problem driving it in the snow, but for the fact other tts in lesser cars, were bumping into each other, so would rather avoid the risk of that happening to me.

I previously had a Boxster without PSM and had to abandon a journey up north in Scotland, as the car wouldnt drive in a straight line.


That was quite a weekend. I had the C4S then, and agree with TOPBEAR that it was fine in the snow. I could not have really said that the 4wd made all the difference as i don't think it did. M6 was still full of tailgaiters, but at least i was heading south, and it soon warmed up
