Let me explain. This system directs torque to the front wheels at a rate of 5-40 percent, depending on available traction and power applied. Where we normally had to slow to take certain corners on these roads, we discovered with the Carrera 4 that we could be more daring. This gave an added feeling of safety on those corners where we still had to slow, but we were confident that we weren't going to slide all over the place. Of course the Carrera 4 is still a Porsche.
Front passengers sit in individual bucket seats that offered excellent side support.
This support is important when you're driving a car that begs to be thrown through corners. My wife appreciated the handles on the doors that gave her something to hang on to as I was thrashing the car around. There is a rear seat in the Carrera, but frankly Porsche would have been better advised to eliminate it and make a more practical luggage area. We only carried two passengers, and folded the rear seat backs down to carry suitcases and long garments to our Easter dinner. As we usually do, there was a significant amount of food back there as well.
