I just fig. it's easier for me to access my 2 kids on a soft-top, but I'll go test out my childseats sometime this week, and see how fitting is like..!  As for the AWD vs RWD, I kind of like the AWD for the extra wet/snow safety when carry 2 extra kids in the back if you know what I am saying..!  I am going to test drive both the RWD & AWD, and see how it's like.

Quite a few people told me the the Cab top should be as reliable as the regular hardtop, but then what do I know..., I am sure I would need to do a lot more research.!!

a used cab sounds risky. Any cab top w/ no warranty/short warranty just sounds risky to me. Besides, ...

hmm... if you are considering safety, then might as well get a larger car... nothing replaces extra crumple zones.

I know a lot of people argue that they can carry a kid with a 911... but really... a 911 is not the best choice for a baby car. Besides, I'm sure you have much better cars for carrying your kids, why not leave the 911 as a purist RWD hardtop?

My little background is that I had a Jeep 4x4 then a STi (AWD), they both works awesome in snow.  But my Miata with Snow tires... is... not good enough..!  So, I don't see how a Porsche C2 with snow tire can be much better..!  I guess that's what I mean by safety...!  Now so much about daily drive, but about in exteme conditions.!

I also enjoy the driving AWD in the rain, so I can see how I may hate the RWD feels in the rain.

Don't forget that in Seattle, we have lots of up/down hills in those snowy condition..! If I would to be in Vancouver, I think I would pick C2 over C4, since they are quite abit cheaper..!

I was under the impression that you still have either the Jeep or the STi, or both? In that case, aren't those much better baby carriers and also much better in the snow?

One'd think Miatas and 911s are strictly summer only?

The 911 4S are surprisingly good cars in the winter as long as it still has enough ground clearance. Then again, my question is -- who really wants to expose their super nice car to all that winter salt and grime?

C hing, C2S is super good car in Snow too la.. lol

Anyway, in seattle .. no need to worry about snow la...  by the way, I saw Enzo driving on snow tim ...

EL, I better warn you, either C2 or C4 coupe, backseat are decent for kids, (well, depend how tall you are, if you are over 6'4 .. then a bit problem) however, on the Cab, back seat is tiny, (~ 4 inch less back space)  it is still "ok" to put a booster seat on, (take the base leather piece out) but not child seat.

I forget how old are your kid, but your small one should be quite young, and I am not sure about car seat law in USA, as many car seats will fit into the 911 back seat, are not legal in Canada ...

Again, why you worry about snow driving?? it is Seattle!

Nah I am not that rich..!

My wife and I had a CR-V & the Jeep.  We sold the CR-V for the STi, then we sold the Jeep for an RDX.  We then bought a Miata as our 3rd car 2 years ago.  I had to drive the Miata for a month in the snow, and I bought snow tire right away, but still not good enough.
Now, I am ready to sell both Miata & STi for a C4 or C4S Cab.

I guess that's the story...

Yeah... I am not the type that would restrict my use with a car..!  I do put alot of attention on how I drive, car wash, and maintenance...!  Or isn't it not fun for not to be able to drive your  favorite car daily?
