Nicely driven in auto mode

I'm not surprised though.
I've friends with duo select QP's, SMG M3's, 997 Tiptronic (although that IS an auto) and they all drive around in AUTO all the time.

It is agreat review from Hammond....

So do I need a Gransport rather than a 4200?

 

[philw696]

Only downside is it will cost you 10 grand more my early 4200 cc for bargain money puts a smile on my face and others every time.

Agree there.
If you can afford a GS, sure, but they are a premium.
You can pay twice as much for a GS, same mileage, same condition, but you don't get twice the car.

Nice review but I have to admit Jezza is right, the real test of a flappy paddle gearbox isn't blasting around second-gear corners but trying to park it.

Not fighting talk, but true.
What value would you put on a low mileage GS, say less than 15k miles, immaculate? £30k+?
My 4200, same mileage, immaculate?
Is the GS twice the car?

 

[Parisien]

It might be worth twice....but its not twice the car.....your forgetting the weak link in how good a car performs...the driver behind the wheel

nice video that one, gives you a better feel for the GS than Hammonds review.

Firstly, I like the colour.

Hammond makes a good review, but I would like him to review a 2004 4200.

Big question is.

Is a 4200 meaner, faster and sportier than a gentleman's GS?

 

[Parisien]

Richard...your not slightly biased re the colour.......?...but yes...2nd video is a sorta "If Carlsberg did a GS....?!"

[richard_masa_4200]

I like how Hammond makes mention of the bigger grill and side skirts on the GS. If anything, they add weight don't they?

I'm interested in a review of a later model with updated software and maybe the bits we can put on 4200's.
