I have to respectfully disagree. It's better to have good traction on all four wheels and power only flowing to two of them than power going to all four wheels but little of it effectively flowing to any of them. I'd rather have a RWD car with snow tires than an AWD car on all-seasons, any day of the week.

But to quote LeVar Burton, don't take my word for it:

Better traction has always been the primary performance reason for choosing a 4. It's certainly been the main reason I've gone for the 4S in previous versions. With the handling and traction of the 991 being what it now is the only reason I can justify a 4S would be aesthetics... i.e. the wider hips. Handling wise I think its such a close call that there's practically nothing in it.

 

Absolutely agree!
