differences between 2005 and 2006 Maserati Quattroporte

Written by: askvalue on Jun 26, 2007 07:17 AM

I am about to buy 2006 QP base model. I want to know whether all three models of 2006 QPs (Base, Sport GT, Executive GT) have received revised and software upgrade in gear box? I am worried that only sport GT got the faster gear change on sport mode. Is there any actual improvement in Gear changing and transmission on 2006 QP compare to former one? Also I found the "Fifth ... Read More...

2005 is the first model year for the newly designed Quattroporte. If the way the clutch feels to you today isn't the same as when the car was new then it isn't normal. Take it do a different dealer is my best advice. Read More...

Thanks, What type of tires come on the Q stock? Pirelli Rossos? I don't know because mine is in the shop. Also what other tires are good that will last longer for the 19" wheels? Thank you Read More...

I had around 11K miles when I replaced the rear tires. The front ones were still good at that time. I heard that this is a typical milage for any high-performance tires. Read More...

I can't speak for all dealers but the following is an example: 6,000 mile service $659 18,000 miles service $1,086 31,000 miles ervice $1,794 1st year - $856 2nd year - $1,105 3rd year - $1,202 Example, you drive 6,000 miles in 1st year your cost would be $659 + $856. Hope this helps. Read More...

Hi all, I'm glad this message board is going on strong. I have a few questions and concerns. I own a 2005 Q and have only 4500 miles on it. Well, it's at the dealer now and they're telling me I need new tires on the rear. For godsake I only drive it on average 8 miles a day and with day to day speeds not exceeding 40 mph. What is going on here? Is there a better tire choice than ... Read More...

Dear bdeblanc the oil and lube are the least of your worries. I just had my 4th transmission fix in two Qs. Maserati has taken the low road by announcing they will not cover the replacement of a clutch in this car and the dealers do not disclose that this is a wear item. No, it's not an automatic transmission. If you can spare 2400 every 5-10k miles, you can afford the ... Read More...
