    Default grand turismo worst piece of crap i have ever driven...

    Dropped off my 458 to get the exhaust valve switch put in, and the dealer let me drive a brand new GT convertible. Wow, I'm so disappointed. The car drives like a couch, its not responsive on turns, its slow, it handles like a bus, there are too many buttons....wow there is an unlock and lock button. Slidey plastic crap...random fonts... I mean this thing looks like the Italians outsourced it to China to design it...what were they thinking? I'd rather drive an M3. My wifes Cayenne GTS crushes this thing.

    At least it sounds nice.

    Lol. It's known that a Maserati is more of a luxury car than a sports car. My BMW destroys my Maserati in cornering and from 0-70mph not to mention my bimmer is 10x more responsive. But I enjoy my Masi as my daily. Nice a comfortable and easy to drive.

    uhhh... I'm sorry I'm being a little critical ... It's just frustrating to think these guys want $150k+ for this car. Wouldn't I rather have an R8? Or a GTR AND a WRX STI? ...or a CTS-V AND a Cayenne Hybrid? ...OR a Ferrari F430 Spider?

    ^^ you can get them used at 80-100k, and at that priced they're decent bargains.

    the MC package makes a massive difference. I had a 2011 Granturismo S and i felt the same way about it for the most part (except the noise and beauty of it overwhelmed everything else, and made me have a strange love for it). However, i recently went and drove the new MC one, and it was much, much better. It actually felt like a sports car, not just a really really loud and good looking lunchbox

    I agree with you on the GT statement. Dispite the rear, it looks great but as 4 anything driving related- it does sucks badly. Its 4 old people who love to golf.
    You do need to drive the MC version though. Much, much better car!

    Maserati's aren't supposed to be sports cars....they are more of a touring car than anything else.

    Why does it always have to be about performance? The car's name is Granturismo and that's exactly what it is; a comfortable grand tourer
