Purist Shmoorist.
Go and drive a C4, they're really good.
I think most people want a C2 because that's what the internet tells them they want..

Yes I agree, different strokes for different folks and I too would love a GT3, but I don't want a Carrera C2 because it's lighter than a GT3... it's still not a GT3 and that's perhaps another example of forum/scene one-upman-ship that grows a bit tiresome after a while.
C2 or C4. One is not better than the other, they are different and equally engaging in slightly different ways, and to be honest they're not poles apart in terms of feel.
I guess I'm just bored of this idea of the assumed C2 'purist' driving experience, it's daft and insinuates that the 'purist' is somehow more discerning, better informed or in the know than everyone else.
