Review

We just purchased a 2005 spyder with 9,500 miles. Half the price of new and all the fun. So far LOVE IT! Fun to drive and the quality is better than I had expected. As a corvette owner this is a blast to drive and very unique. The overall quality is very good. Not many around and a real head turner. The auto makes it easy to drive for those who just want to cruz.

Favorite Features

Most everything. Good quality, fun to drive, auto top, auto mode, tubi exhaust, unique.

Suggested Improvements

The fact that you have to change the CD for the nav system if you do not have the 5 CD changer. The standard sound system is OK, not great. The upgrade to the audio 2000 would have been nice.

It's a Blast

Review

I have been an exotic car dealer in the past and have driven a number of expensive cars. This new <Maserati is just a super, fun car to own and drive. It wants to be driven. So far, its quality seems very good. My only complaint is if you are over 6 feet tall it could be tight to get into the car, but with the top down, who cares.

Favorite Features

The engine and overall looks of the car.

Suggested Improvements

None so far.

Review

I have owned my Maserati Spyder Cambiocorsa for a year and really enjoy it. The engine is the highlight, 400 horsepower with a Tubi exhaust, sounds great and it is pretty fast. I like the looks quite a bit but that is personal taste. Interior is well done, but fit and finish is average at best. I understand buying a car like this will have some flaws and so far the car has been in twice for issues. I like this ride because you don't see many of them on the roads, like Mercedes SL 500's and Jaguar XK8, and Porsche 911's. This car is understated compared to pricier exotics.

Favorite Features

The engine, exhaust note, exterior design, handling is pretty solid.

Suggested Improvements

Less cowl shake, better build quality.

Review

I bought my Maserati Spyder on the Internet. I have driven many different, high-end sports cars and my Spyder is the most fun to drive because of the Formual One transmission. The car can be driven in automaic mode or you can shift manually with the paddles on the steering column. The top goes up or down in about 30 seconds with the touch of a button, and it is really a head turner on the road. I had the Tubi Eghaust put on mine and it souds awesome! I love it!

Favorite Features

The Cambiocorsa Transmission.
