Driving a GTS tomorrow

[conaero]

Well I better be. I am off up my mates house to help him set up for the fireworks display on Saturday and it will be the first time I have seen his S so defo going to steel the keys off him.

I am going to take my GS up, so I can get a good comparison, I am expecting it to be quieter, with a smoother ride, but no faster.

Ill report back.

 

[dem maser]

its a lot bigger.....i saw them back to back at brooklands....not a new model for GS

 

[OzzieAl]

Enjoy, I will be interested to hear your views as a current GS owner!!

What you like what you don't like. and a pic of the two together would be nice as already said!!

 

[dem maser]

the GS is prob better but the GTS is the more desirable, tell us this.. is the GTS worth 50k more??

 

[GransportFan1]

i would say so dem, especially if it is red.

Have an awesome time Matt.

I'll look forward to your thoughts if you get a go. Seeing as it's an S I'd wager it's about as quick, if it was a 4.2 I'd be inclined to agree but having made the move from 4.2 to GTS it was noticeably quicker, although the MC Shift box has a lot to do with it I think.
Either way, enjoy

 

[dem maser]

love the GTS its bigger and more of a GT but no disrespect dan i love your car but id love a GS model come out

Matt!!!!!!!!

Yep drove it! What did I think, well mixed bag.

Good points:
The sound, it sounds just like a Ferrari, is that a good thing, not sure.
Brakes good
Ride, excellent
The look, lovely

Bad points:
It's massive, it really is a barge
Seats not a patch on the GS
Don't like this fake suede, alcantar is it, it seems to be to suede, what PVC is to leather.
Alot of low quality materials used inside such as the headliner.
Large amount of plastic under the bonnet covering the engine. Italian cars used to show off their muscle not hide it under a sea of plastic

Performance:
Same as the GS pulls well stops well, the quality of the ride is leaps on front.

Overall did I like it, a big yes.

Very good

Agree with your bad points, never been a fan of Alcantara - hence mine being full leather with a carbon steering wheel.
Likewise the hiding of the engine - I must take all the plastic off mine at some point to see what lurks beneath.

Was it the MC shift or auto? If the MC shift, how did it compare with the CC 'box?
A mate of mine is still toying with the idea of a GS with CC 'box.
