The 2015 Maserati GranTurismo’s base Sport trim would be the best option to choose. It starts at $132,825 and comes with features, including adaptive xenon headlights, automatic wipers, heated power-folding & auto-dimming mirrors, front and rear parking sensors, adjustable suspension dampers, dual-mode sport exhaust system, cruise control, and 10-way power-adjustable heated front seats along with other features. The higher trims are obviously more expensive, but at those respective price points, there are much more powerful cars available, so the base trim with the same engine would be the best option.
