Review

I have had two, count them two Quattroportes. My first was a disaster. Computer, sensor and transmission failures. The bright shining star has been the dealership and support. They have ALL been wonderful and tried very hard to make things right. BUT, my second Q is currently having the transmission re-built. This car is a beauty and fun to drive. It cannot, however be what Maserati would like it to be, an entry level exotic. I don't know what they are smoking on the other side but someone needs to do some serious re-thinking about quality control in a 100k car. What I will do? Ball is in Maserati's court to make me real happy. For now, this is not a prime time player.

Favorite Features

Great looking, handling and driving. Yes the transmission is jerky, but that is controllable, the poor quality of the transmission is not.

Suggested Improvements

They need better quality control and an ironclad guarantee of service as the car ages. Don't re-sell the vehicles that have had so many problems. They should do what BMW did and more. Give four years or 50k miles of maintaince with a 100% full bumper to bumper warranty.

Review

I purchased my "Limited Edition Neiman Marcus Quattroporte" from the newly opened Penski Wynn dealership in the new 2.7 billion dollar Wynn Hotel Casino and no less than 500 of the people in the crowd to see the new hotel left the crowd they had been waiting in for hours to come over and check out this fine car. One gentleman had his wife take his picture next to it instead of the hotel! This car is a masterpiece of craftmanship. The interior is laid out very well, the leather is incredible, the guages set up in the right places and easy to read. The available features make for a very luxurious car. The handling is of course superb!

Review

This car is a gem. It's great to see a business class sedan done in such a sporty and elegant style. Elegant and sleek is the design. I fell in love with it when I first saw it.

Favorite Features

The dash, the body and the overall shape.

Suggested Improvements

The front grille is the only feature I think that could be modified better. other than that, the car is stunning.

I have put 3,500 miles on my Maserati Quattroporte so far. This car is of lots of fun. It gives you a sense of power, security, elegance, and speed when you desire.

Favorite Features

The engine sound, paddle shift transmission, exterior and interior design.

Suggested Improvements

Add more torque at low end RPM.
