Cheers Dicky. I must get round to trying a GT Sport auto at some stage. This forum does get to me as it is often very narrow minded. For many my manual 4200 was useless as it was not a CC and my GTS Auto is the same as it has the wrong gearbox. Time and time again opinions are offered to 'new starters' which are so one dimensional that the broad range of Maseratis' that have been built over the last two decades are mis-represented.
Perhaps a tad harsh Bob.
I think the majority agree that the CC box is better than the manual on the 4200 (I did). But driving a Maserati is not about going with what the 'masses' say you should drive, otherwise we'd all be in Porsche's.
Some people like to be a bit different.
With regards to the GT, I'm guessing a lot of the people who rate the MCS over the auto's are the ones who have the budget in that price range (30-50k).
However, I imagine those who have a budget in the 45+ range may say the Sport MC is the one to get.
Horses for courses.
Until you try them all, you never know what you like and what you don't. Those who buy cars purely based upon what someone they've never even met has said on a website are quite frankly idiots.
If there are any such people on here, I have $100,000,000 of 'lost' Nigerian oil money which I need depositing in a UK bank account.
If someone would just give me their bank details that would be very much appreciated.
