612 from a Granturismo

[Kettmark]

Hi, contemplating changing my current Maserati to a Ferrari. Looked at an F430 but need the practicality of rear seats for 7 year old son to get more use out of the Ferrari.
Anyone made the change? What are your thoughts please?

I went from Gran Turismo to California for the same reasons, great cars have you tried one ?

[Kettmark]

Might be worth a search but there was an opinion about 2 years ago somewhere in the supercar section that stuck in my head: Chap said that the GT was basically a more sorted (relatively) version of the 612. Paraphrasing I think he said the GTs are pretty reliable, bigger back seats, bigger boot. To that list you could add they at least have sat nav and they sound decent. I forget which if 2 cars he owned.

In my view I'd say with the 612 you are gaining badge cache and a V12 but might have higher running costs. in London as well, Euro 4 petrols will the in the next swathe of ULEZ cuts too probably. Depends on what you want to use it for and how often.
