Hi,
My first post on this friendly forum. My name is Simon, I am an Aussie who has recently moved to NE Scotland and I must say I am loving the cost of cars in the UK
On arrival we bought an e60 M5, its now time to buy our second car. It will only cover ~5k miles per year and has to be something fun & fast. I was all set for a 911 Turbo but the GranSport has really caught my eye. They are stunning cars, really there is nothing to like. The Gran Turismo holds immense appeal too but I think I like the lighter/smaller GS, the lesser entry price and the seemingly solid resale. I have a couple of questions I was hoping the forum might be able to help me with:
1) How is the auto clutch manual gearbox? Is is at least as good as that in my M5?
2) Are winter tyres readily available for the GS 19" rims?
3) are there any specific problem areas with these cars I should be aware of when inspecting a car?
Look forward to participating in the forum and hunting for the right car in the coming weeks.
Cheers
mondie
