Used 2002 Maserati Coupe Consumer Reviews
Heads will turn...
I have nothing but praise for my Maserati Coupe Cambiocorsa. It is a solid machine with style and performance to match. It has linear acceleration that roars and gets (sometimes unwanted) attention. Yee who fear the rumble of a throaty V8, beware. Prepare to set off car alarms in parking garages and scare small children and animals. Things most likely seen in rear view mirror inslude Audi S4s, BMW M3s, Chevrolet Corvettes. Even the new 2005 Astin Martin V8 Vantage is a 1/10th second slower 0-60 and has 10 fewer horse power (not to mention the fact that it is twice the price).
Great car, when not in the shop
I've had My Maserati Coupe Cambiocorsa for two years and drive it daily to work 30 miles each way. It is an absolute pleasure to drive. I love the sound of the exhaust and the acceleartion is breathtaking, just don't floor it on wet pavement. In automatic mode the shifts are very clunky and need to be smoothed out. The paddle shifting in sport mode is a blast and is extremely fast at high rpm. Maserati needs more dealerships. Mine is two hours away and I'm in an urban area. I have had a major failure of the cambio gearbox twice, requiring towing from the freeway (scary), and two weeks in the shop each time. I think one more will qualify my car for the lemon law. I love the car, though I'd really hesitate to get another one, given the gearbox failures.

A return of a classic
Plain and simple, fast as hell and you won't see a hundred of them driving around in LA. I love the return of this classic and with Ferrari engineering behind it...what a car.
Best performance vehicle for the dollar
I bought the Maserati Cambiocorsa because ist was within my budget, $60,000. I saw NOTHING that even came close. It has 390hp, dry sump oil, ferrari motor, dry clutch/paddle shifter, 18 inch wheels... it is all about speed, control and fun. This car is a blast. I drive it every day to and from work (10 miles each way), and sometimes even on errands like shopping. The trunk is adequate for most tasks. It seats four adults comfortably. Has hooks a for child seat. My four year old LOVES to ride in it. She calls it Daddy's "race car" and urges me to go faster. So far it has been extremely reliable. It did have one major repair, the clutch. This was probably from pervious owner abuse, but dealer replaced entire clutch under warranty - which, by the way, is five years!
A gorgeous Italian with Ferrari blood
A gorgeous car on the exterior with the best interior of any car I have seen. People stop on the streets to stare, give the thumbs up, or shout flattering comments. The car is unbelievably fast and handles great. The F1 paddle shifting is a blast giving you all the flexability of a stick with out the tired legs. The car will automatically downshift at 1,300 rpm when you are stopping if you don't want to actively downshift. A great car all around.
