Hi All,
I’m currently looking at purchasing a granturismo, I have never had the pleasure of owning a Maserati before but love the look of the GT.
I’ve been reading through various posts on this forum for a while trying to get a feel for if this type of car will be right for me and was hoping a few people on here may be able to give me their opinions.
I would ideally like a 4.7 S MC, I’ve read up on the clutch wear and the variator issues with the earlier cars, my worry is more with the type of driving I do and roads I have to travel on, I have had TVR’s, Lotus’s and older mustangs in the past so I am quite used to slightly unreliable cars.
The car would be a daily driver, approximately 30 miles a day, 3 days a week and 50ish miles at the weekend, before any fun trips out, obviously this is a “normal” week. The car would be used throughout winter in all weathers, now I think my biggest concern are the roads that I use around the area that I live, they are shocking!!! Huge potholes everywhere as I live in quite a rural area which the council’s seem to forget about, would the car last being “bashed” about on terrible roads on a daily basis, I remember hitting a large pothole once in a TVR and the dash fell apart
So my question is do you current owners think a granturismo would be a good car for my situation?
Saying all that if it feels right when I test drive one I probably wouldn’t care what you said anyway
