I don't own a 964, but I've had the advantage of being able to drive one along with my own RWD 3.2.
I'm wondering what you disliked about the 964 C4 when you drove it? I found it to be extremely well planted and very predictable. And I've watched amr89c4 drive his at MidOhio in front and behind me. It follows nearly the same line as my RWD and it does it just as fast (faster really because it's a 3.6).
The AWD system is extremely dependable and if you do a search you will find that failures are so rare as to be questionable concern to a potential buyer.

OK - I have to wonder how hard you drove it on the track, but this statement seems way off base. The C4 throttle steers! I watched amr89c4 throttle steer his through the Keyhole and Carousel at MidOhio 3 weeks ago. Hell, he had the car drifting and throttle steering in ways I can only dream of right now.
When you drove a C4, maybe the suspension wasn't set up correctly? Because if you couldn't throttle steer the hell out of it, something was wrong. I'm not good at throttle steering (still trying to get over the fear of spinning) and I am still learning in my RWD 3.2, but I learned in part from a C4 driver.
I, of course, have to limit my comments to personal experience. I've had the good fortune of driving a C4 and a 3.2 RWD through a lot of twisties. They are different, but as far as what is "better?" No way to answer that. Which is more fun? They both are!
It's a diservice to discount a C4 for the track. Just as it would be inappropriate to declare it "better" than a C2. But for a potential buyer, I'd encourage them to consider both. If a great C4 came along, check it out.
