2006 Maserati Coupe Road Test Ratings

Fuel Economy

13 - 14 mpg

Overall

Performance is hampered in exchange for a soft, comfortable ride.

Dynamics

Italian V8 goodness is hampered by its soft chassis. Automated gearchange a bit clumsy.

Comfort

Cabin feels cozy at best and crowded at worst. Rides smoothly and materials feel great.

Function

Smallish trunk and cabin. Some of the cockpit controls require thinking twice, and rear seats are suited for grocery bags but not humans.

Design/Build Quality

Generic GT shape with Maserati tinsel added. Some issues with the Cambiocorsa gearbox have been noted.

Comfortable Soft, comfortable ride.

High Performer Adequate power supplied by its V8 engine.
