As both a Maserati and Range Rover man I can say that the running costs are very similar. Both my 4.2 Maser and my RR Supercharged gave 400 bhp and on average 17 mpg - so daily costs were identical. Servicing also very similar, both being heavy and therefore tough on brakes and tyres. Both smart, civilised and comfy, and both give plenty of the "feel good" factor that is required to counteract the shocking depreciation. The Maser is less practical and harder to get in and out (low, wide heavy doors), but more exclusive, more special, faster etc. I have actually done the opposite to you, in that I have changed from the Maser to the RR, but then again, unlike yourself, I now do live on a farm. But from what you say, I think the GT would be ideal for you and your son. So give it a go. What's the worst that could happen...?
