Average Consumer Rating:

Expert Rating:

“Surprisingly, all this big-engine performance is available with equally impressive fuel efficiency; we averaged over 17 mpg during our week with the car and 20 mpg should be easy to achieve when just cruising on the highway.”

“Overall, anyone who drives the Grand Sport will feel like a better driver due to its handling capabilities. On-center feel is solid never seeming to stray either right or left.”

“The car is a delight to drive – it’s extremely powerful, yet has great handling.”
