What’s the best GT 2+2 on the second hand market these days? Is it the XKR, M6, Maserati, 911???

What would you go for it you wanted a fun driver with enough space to transport the family?

Ferrari FF is probably the answer

Depends how tall you are and how old your kids are. One of my mates who is 5’7” and wife who is 5’ has kids around 10 years old at the time and used to call his DB9 the family car because they could all fit in it. No fking chance if you’re over 6ft could it be a GT 2+2....I’ve got a 911 nobody can sit behind me it works for some people.

Vanquish S or DB11 AMR for theatre. Evora for the driving.

Can you actually fit two in the back in an Evora?

For actual real usable rear seats (I’m 5’11 and 16 stone and fit with no issues) the Maserati Granturismo. Boot is small though for the size of the car.

I have a 2016 Mustang GT. it’s usable as a family car as long as the kids are small. My 2yo Daughter has plenty of space and my wife at 5’5 has plenty of space in front of her. If the drive is over 5’10 ish then rear leg space is an issue. Biggest problem is head room in the coupe. Ideally rear seat passengers need to be under 5’10

It depends on you're budget but I'd say a Granturismo/XKR/SL/CL/S Coupe/8 Series etc.

Yep. But headroom is tight and if the driver is tall it's not exactly a lot of legroom back there. No worse than any 911 I have been in though.

What about an M6? They seem like good GT cars with 4 seats.

Bentley CGT or a Granturismo would offer the most space for rear seat occupants.
Kids would fit in the back of a 911/XKR/M6 etc but space becomes much tighter as they grow older, potentially meaning you move the car on sooner than you may otherwise would with the first suggestions?!.

Cheers,

I like the M6 but rear space is very tight my 10 year old couldn't sit behind me in a 6 series but was comfortable in the GC.

This is exactly why I’m hesitating in the car. I have twin 5 year olds I’d need to fit in the back. I’d forego the child seat in favour of boosters but I’m not confident that will work.

It won't forget the XKR.

What’s the servicing regime and cost on the Maserati?

By memory it was two years or 15k miles but don’t take that as gospel as I sold it 4 years ago!
Would be well worth having a chat with Nareman at Nuvola for some advice.
