Review in this months EVO....4.5 STARS OUT OF FIVE...
Plus - Best everyday Granturismo yet.
Minus - Starting to get long in the tooth.
Sum up -
Handsome, charismatic, sporting and everyday useable, the automatic Granturismo Sport is the car Maserati always promised us. It's a shame its taken 5 years to get here.
They do say that the MC Shift automated manual car drives much the same as it did before and remains the obvious choice for the hardcore Maserati fan but the new MC Autoshift automatic version is very different. Maserati have managed to change the shift gearchange time on the ZF six speed gearbox tojust 200ms when sport mode is selected. Thats half of what it was before and the gearbox now blips the engine on downshifts making the driving characteristics of the two boxes much closer than they were before.
