Well, my new ex demo Ghibli
After just over 5 years and 108k miles I moved my trusted Ghibli on, and replaced it with a Mar 2019 Gransport Ghibli, with virtually every optional extra on it.
First impressions are its brilliant. I love the way it looks (its red, Rosso Energia I think its called, though not sure). Its a peculiar red in that it looks very different in different light (pics to follow later).
Being a Gransport it has a lot of kit as standard (so LED matrix lights, painted calipers, paddle shifters, Skyhook). It also has 21" Titanios, carbon interior and exterior trim, full driver assistance package, foot waving boot, alcantara headlining, red stitched black leather).. I think thats about it!
Inside, its a special place to be. The new larger infotainment is excellent (GPS problem aside!). Ride is improved, I was a bit wary of the 21"s but the Skyhook more than compensates. In normal mode it rides the bumps extremely well, not a crashy ride at all, though it does feel a little under dampered at times. In "hard" mode it feels very firm (though havent explored this much yet)
Engine wise it is identical, other than this one has the adblue and it appears to be a little less economic (or the trip computer is more accurate, will know when I fill it up)
Outside, the 21" painted dark, along with the carbon trim (mirrors, handles, B pillars, front splitter and rear boot spoiler) really make the thing look sporty (its much more sporty looking than my previous one, which was more elegant than sporty). Not that keen on the front badge, which is 2D in order to fit the radar behind it. The new LED light cluster looks sharp
Overall very happy indeed with it (will post pics later)
I must also mention my experience with selling the old one. I contacted Richard Grace last wednesday morning, asking if he would be interested, he was very responsive and we quickly agreed a price. He collected it 2 days later, at the price we agreed (no attempt to lower the price on inspection etc).. He was very professional and amenable throughout the process and I would recommend him to anyone, either sourcing or just buying your car (as was the case with me). It made selling the car (which I am not keen on) very easy.
