None of these three cars have service records plus each service booklet has no stamps. The only service records any of these cars have are listed on carfax but I don't believe they have that in the UK. I'm going to see the red GS again either Thursday or Friday to do the inspection and test drive. Can someone tell me the difference between driving a GranSport and a GranTourismo?
I owned a Granturismo, and swapped it for a Gransport. I think the choice between them is a tough choice, but for me it came down to where and how I was wanting to drive the car...
A Granturismo is a BIG car, and while it looks gorgeous and sounds amazing, and is a brilliant way to cover long distances in style, in the end I found it too big, too wide, and too heavy for when I was wanting to have a spirited drive on country roads.
A Gransport is smaller, much less comfortable, and a bit sportier. It’s lighter, more nimble, still sounds good (but not as good as a Granturismo, unless you spend $$$ on the exhaust as some have), the gear changes take a bit of getting used to, but once you have got used to it, I find it’s a more enjoyable driving car if you are just going out for a fun drive on twisty roads... however, this comes at a price, as it’s not as effortless on long journeys.
I also think the interior in a Gransport is less luxurious than in a Granturismo, which for me is a positive as the Gransport interior feels more classic and pared back.
As Dave said, both are great cars, and it just depends what you are looking for. As a daily driver I would pick a Granturismo, but as a weekend toy, I think the Gransport is the better choice...
