Small engines with twin turbo's just send alarm bells ringing for me, even small single turbo jobs do.

Having bought a secondhand 2015 WK2 3.6 petrol Limited last year - here's my 2c worth / advice:

We were replacing our 2014 KL Trailhawk that was stolen by kids (yeah we live in Cairns...) and written off by insurance.

Altho we love the "new" grand - which apart from some minor cosmetic issues is in fantastic mechanical condition and was only 112000 km, one thing I was ignorant of was that the lower spec model like the Limited doesn't have the Electronic Limited Slip system that higher models come with - so be aware that if you want the best driveline system you'll need to get one that has the ELSD.

I believe the base model system that works using differential braking is quite capable, but it's not in the same class as the ELSD system which is essentially similar to having locking diff (which functions automatically).

We absolutely love the GC - including not having to worry quite as much about something blowing up as we did with the KL - but discovering it didn't have that ELSD system came as quite a jolt to me (I assumed they all simply came with it).
