I have the same rotary mid-rise with a 4 foot lift that Kurt and Tony mentioned (same red truck?) and it works great. Have lifted the Tahoe with zero issues and with the 10 volt it works anywhere. Although it has no wheels, you can jack it up and get a creeper/furniture dolly under it easily and slide it around. The main issue is that you cannot drop motors based on the fact that the assembly itself gets in the way. I also built ramps on either side to allow the car to clear after lowering it. If you are ever oout in Ashburn you are welcome to see it.

Very stable on a good garage floor. What is nice, as Kurt so competently stated, is you can move it around and you can place the car forward some to get at transmissions. Can be a pain for exhaust work, but other than that does all I require. I made some ramps so when it is not in use I simply drive over it.

This is even more of a limitation for front-engine or mid-engine, rear-drive cars. Rear engine folks have more access from scissor type than anyone.

Four-post is no faster than jack stands with changing tires and working on suspension (though standing is better) And under car lifts are third is my book cause you're still on your back or knees + needs ramps.

There are also single post lifts which help with space constraints, but have the same drawbacks as 4-post + higher cost.

If you have space, two-posts really are the winner from cost (~$1500) and versatility standpoint. I'd even consider installing one outside if I could hide it from the neighbors somehow.

I have done oil changes, muffler swaps, suspension changes, steering rack braces, brakes jobs, etc all from a nice cushy seated position on the shop stool with my mid-rise. BUT - there are certan drawbacks like on the 993 the draining of oil necesitates actually holding the pan/bucket over the assembly itself. Kind of a pain. For a 944, I think it is straightforwar for the engine, but if you wanted to change out the gear oil you would have the same issue.
