Granturismo purchase advice

[ElanS]

I am looking to purchase my first Maserati and hopefully Granturismo. I have been doing some research online but need some real world experience/advice. It will have light usage of around 2-3k miles per annum.

Do people tend to use them over the winter? I normally prefer to use my Gallardo throughout the year providing its not raining or snowing.

I am looking at 2012+ cars, are the newer cars affected by the variator issues? Any other issues that I should be aware of?

Has anyone upgraded from a 911 and how do they compare? How are they like in the wet as my wife will also be using it.

Thank you in advance.

Thanks for sharing your experience/advice guys, I have taken the plunge and bought a facelift GTS MC shift. I was really taken to the dark blue colour and the report on the inspection. I am loving the sound track so far. A completely different experience to a manual 911 turbo or a manual LP560!

PICS PLEASE

Its not the best of pics. I have been driving it and enjoying the soundtrack rather than spending much time cleaning it,mainly due to the weather.

They look great in blue, but I am biased!

It doesn't have the drama or the speed of my LP560 but they are great GT and feels like you are driving fast due to the sound.
