Quick Review : Maserati Gran Turismo S




What I like :

-Engine sound
-Sharp steering
-Powerslide

What I dont like :

-Long wheelbase




Ratings
Ratings are the numeric scores that I personally give to the car, consisting of sense of balance, thrill, and driving confidence. The value of each rating is out of 10. For example, if the score is 2.1 , that means its 2.1 out of 10. Sense of balance is the balance of everything. A car that is too easy to drive would not be exciting enough to drive for a long period of time, while a car that is too difficult to drive requires a lot of concentration or patience in order to bring the car around corners. It can also be the balance between oversteer and understeer, sharpness and stability, and so on. Thrill is the level of excitement that you get from the driving experience, often associated with the sense of fear. Driving confidence is the amount of confidence that the car gives to you. Basically, a confident inspiring car would give the driver a sense of courage to give out more of its power around corners.


-Sense of balance : 7.1
-Thrill : 7.6
-Driving confidence : 7.5


Summary
Nevermind the long wheelbase, it is a proper driving machine, and a good one.

-Sense of balance : 6.2
-Thrill : 7.7
-Driving confidence : 7.1


Summary
Around tight corners, the E-Type is pretty fun to drive, but not as fun as it is at circuits with wider roads. This is when the E-Type comes to life, ready to strike every corner with its old school handling in an insane speed. Combining the 60s flaws, driving confidence, and its speed, the E-Type is one of my favorite cars in the game.

Summary
Incredible handling for a hatchback. The sense of balance is so clever that it gives you the illusion of driving an upper class sportscar.

-Sense of balance : 6.5
-Thrill : 7.3
-Driving confidence : 6.2



Summary
I like cars that can do powerslides, but the powerslide in this one is too hyperbole. It just wants to drift everytime you hit the throttle on the corners, which can be really annoying I tell you. In the real world you get a spacious cabin and luggage space, but in this game, it doesn't matter. So that means you have to deal with its rather big and heavy body. On the bright side, it's still smaller than the Maserati GranTurismo.

-Too much oversteer at the throttle

Summary
The SLS is a great choice for those who prefer a challenging driving experience over laptimes. It requires more determination and precision skills to control this car than its competitors like the 458 Italia and MP4-12C.

-Sense of balance : 7.1
-Thrill : 7.6
-Driving confidence : 7.4



Summary
Being the first mid engine production sportscar in the history, the mid engine layout really helps the car to take a corner in an astonishing angle. Combine that with the 60s style loosely grip, the Miura is a great blend between great handling and lunatic thrill. This is perhaps, my favorite car of the game.
