The Granturismo is quick, sounds great, averages over 21mpg across 3000 miles of mixed driving, seats 4, and yet still is a major attraction where ever it is. And its more acceptable than most other supercars. It even has a 2 year service interval (or 12000 miles) - thats more like a French hatchback than an Italian supercar! But shop around for servicing costs - they vary dramatically between dealers.
Is there a better GT car out there, that seats 4 in comfort, that you feel ok about leaving in the rain, ....and still turns all the heads.....? ....No, I can't think of one. Can you?
At prices now starting in the low £50k area, the price of exclusivity and understated sheer class is pretty much affordable - a new one will depreciate heavily, and there are some excellent low mileage cars out there. Try both the Standard car and the S before you buy - the fiesty gearbox on the S might become a pain after a while. Go for the 4.2, its ZF 6 speed box, and cruise effortlessly right up to its claimed top end of 175mph. I've been just short of 160, and it still feels just fine.
