Yep, that is embarrassing but you are not alone as I too have exactly the same problem.

I even struggled to get out of the Panamera after the drive of one at the PEC.

My Mrs has a video of me struggling at getting out of a 911 again at the PEC.

Struggled getting out of the Merc C class loaner.

So it seems I am now stuck with SUV type vehicles.

I'm someone with plenty of road and track experience of high power rear and all-wheel drive cars. I've done handling courses that specifically highlight the difference. Wet and dry. With and without ESP.
Not everyone drives an exciting sports car with ESP/PSM switched on :-)

Well all I can say goron is try them both for yourself in the real world. If you are going to do serious track days you may marginally prefer a C2S over 4S, but I wouldn't count on it.

Still a 7 year old Audi,things have moved on and improved a lot during the last seven years,personally I'd prefer something with less years on its back,

For pure enjoyment and adrenaline fueled excitement there is only one form of road going transport.

If Yamaha is not your bag, Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Ducatti and BMW do an equivalent sports motorcycle.

Yep, I love it when people tell me I'm wrong based on something someone said who read something that someone else said that everyone knows :-)

At least it was free of talk about diesels, mpg and residuals!

Oh bugger :-/

I have looked at Half a dozen used Audi R8's and wondered why the side bolsters on the drivers' seats were so badly creased, even on very low mileage cars.

The Recaro seats needed stronger outer side bolsters. Audi Ingolstatd were aware of the problem on early cars but didn't do anything about it.
