One happy Granturismo Owner!

Just picked up a new Granturismo S MC. It's replaced my 4 year old Granturismo. Can you feel the difference, oh yes! Having said that the "cooking" 4.2 is a great car as well and in terms of quality and reliability the best I've ever had and that includes Porsche and Mercedes. My old car is at Dick Lovetts and if anyone is looking for one I can absolutely recommend it. I think they have it up at £49,995 and its done 19k.

Congratulations! I really like the Granturismo S and it has the power I think the car always deserved. Oh and the noise

Hope you enjoy it!

I just spanked the living daylights out of my GT 'S' back from The City to home (Herts)....the sound is immense, I will never tire of it. 12mpg on the way home though...not the best!

What is this "mpg" you talk about? Ferrari has the decency of removing any function on my car that could alert me to such a figure...Great car by the way...who cares about the MPG...carry a passenger in it and you contribute less to global CO2 than the Honda HRT or Nissan ShirtLeaf.

In fact when I carried 4 people in my 612 I was more efficient than a Nissan Priory with only the driver...

Interesting that you have gone for the F1 box rather than the auto with the 4.7.

Let us know how you get on.

When I see your old four old car (Blue with Beige?) up at £52k retail it shows me just how far residuals on Maserati have come. Even allowing for high gross margins on such exotic cars, the depreciation performance is right up there with Porsche etc. Gives me hope for how my car will do over the five or so years I will have it from delivery last year.

Interesting as they have just put the price up! For sure residuals seem strong, and strengthening by the looks of it. Can't say I'm surprised as they have to represent one of the best value cars in their class, and maybe that's the clue as you have to pay appreciably more, Aston, Ferrari to get an equivalent GT with pace and space. I went for the robotised box this time as they have improved out of all recognition and perfectly acceptable burbling about but when you give it the beans it really transforms the car, so v happy!
