2002 Maserati Coupe GT 2dr Coupe (4.2L 8cyl 6M)
19 of 20 people found this review helpful
One of my all time favorite cars. I have driven a lot of semiexotics and exotics. From a 1957 Porsche 356 to a 3rd gen RX-7 to Jags and Bimmers. This car performs like a Ferrari without the maintenance headache and cost. Very reliable with road couth for a high performer and still a head turner after 5 years on the road. Creature comforts but will still make the hair on the back of the neck of the dude in front of you raise up as he respectfully pulls over into the slow lane. A true 4-seater as it is functional enough to pick up my 2 kids from school. Hot enough to drive with my wife on short day trips and feel as if you are in a 2-seater.

What a great car. This automobile offers Ferrari performance with manageable power. It is great fun at 80 miles per hour and below. I do have a 360 and it is a lot of fun as it should be, but the Maserati is more driver friendly and the F1 (Cambiocorsa) transmission is the most fun you can have in a car. There is a lot of driver involvement and the fit and finish is second to none.

I have owned many cars and a few of them were sports cars but never have I owned such a true sports car with style and detail similar to an expensive Italian suit. This lines on the exterior and the design of the interior is a work of art.

I've had this car for a year now. Great fun to drive. Had the opportunity to go to a high speed driving coure last spring where you got to drive your own car on a closed track with a driving instructor. None of the instructors had drive a F1 Maserati before. Beside my driving this car at over 125 mph on the straights and 60mph turns, the instructors asked to drive it. They were all very impressed. They rated its performance with the 200K Far, AMartin, Porsh, etc. I have been very pleased. Its a keeper
Maserai Clutch Problems

This is a nice car with the worst clutch I have ever had. I've gone through three clutches in 17,000 miles and the new one seems no better. Save your repair money and buy something else. The clutch is a real lemon and Maserati will not cover any repairs (the warranty is void for the clutch the day you drive it out the door, as in a zero mile warranty). I've owned many sports cars over the years and the clutch problem is the worst I have seen.

We installed a Tubi exhaust at the dealer before taking delivery. It made a Gransport before the Gransport concept was invented. The car went from 390 hp to 420 hp and it is music to the ears. This is a wonderful car to own and drive.

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.
Best sounding car under $200k

I was a hard core Porsche person until Driving the '03 Coupe GT. The sounds this engine makes is unparalleled by anything without a prancing horse on it. The low end torque is absolutely amazing. The hand stitched leather is also gorgeous--better than anything else in the market. Performance is all there--zero to 60 in 4.7!!! Also, only 1,000 in the country, so that is about 1 Maserati to every 20 Carreras (not counting past model years!) Buy this car if you have the means

Where else can you drive a new, hand built, Italian Exotic with a V8 source Ferrari engine and F1 shifting technology for under $90,000? If you want exhilarating performance, Italian head turning styling and exclusivity, then you owe it to yourself to check out this car. You won't be disappointed. I've owned Porsches, Mercedes and BMWs and this car is by far the most fun to drive and turns more heads than anything else I've ever driven.

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!

I've driven this car for over 1000 miles, and plan to sell it soon. In the first 300 miles the driver's side window stopped working! Mind you, this is a $100k car! I've also had some problems with the shifter going about 45 mph. I would stick to a BMW M5 at this price range.

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.

This car has been fantastic, a real joy to drive and own. Devastatingly fast and quick. Tremendous torque as well as top end. The F1 shifters are a blast and quick to learn. The handling is great, very tight suspension when called upon, which pretty much sums up this car. It's as tame or as nasty as you want it to be, all in a very sophisticated, well turned out package. This has got to be one of the great cars in the world. The essence of the GT experience.

This car rocks! A ferocious Ferrari- designed engine mated to a gorgeously svelte body make for a very rare and exciting fresh car in an age of gawdawful monster SUVs and Porsche everycars. The engine has an incredible Italian growl..sounds even better than the Ferraris..Interior craftsmanship is better than any car I have ever seen, except maybe a $300,000 Bentley. The best part: you get to totally custom order the beast--your colors inside and out..you choose the piping, stitching, rooflining, carpets..the whole damn thing! A true custom-built- to-order GT.Paddle-shift is pretty good and improving as of this writing (2003).
An excellent GT

You should be careful when looking at this car, oil changes over $200, Clutches that can wear out in less than 10,000 miles. Very hard car to work on

I bought the Coupe and took delivery at the Modena factory, a real treat! I have enjoyed the Coupe in every facet of driving both in Italy and the US. The '02 improved design and Marrinella produced 400 hp dry sump V8 have turned out to be a great combo, even after moving from a Ferrari! There has only been one draw back, that has been the terrible service and attitude from my dealer. They appearently have sold too many cars and neither have the capacity, customer service training, or ability to deal with this exotic or the other brands they handle. UPDATE: With a 396 HP Ferrari V-8, a low wide stance and beautiful lines and a sumptuous leather interior, this luscious Maserati does not disappoint. It’s a true gentleman’s GT with a powerful road racer heritage, designed for those that appreciate driving fast with style and an appreciation for a thrilling sports car that hugs the road and delivers 0-60 acceleration in under four seconds.

So far, this car has been quite impressive! The engine is smooth but wakes-up fast when you need it to. The suspension is also very smooth yet responsive when you really need to use it. I really enjoy is the classy, high- tech interior and the sleek exterior looks. Whenever I park somewhere, everyone's always stopping me to ask "What kind of car is that?" -- Everyone appreciates it for it's originality. It seems everyone owns a Porsche, Vette or Lexus -- this is different!

Excelllent all around car,,Finally an Italian car capable of being used everyday.The interior is exquisite and every passenger is amazed of ther beauty and luxury of maseratis interiors.The exterior design is also great maybe not as seductive as a ferrari but way more understated and has a more Maserati appeal to it.As far as the drive goes,well wat can i say,when u have an engine that pulls like this one and the sound is great which makes all those racer boys stare in admiration.

Received car in late 2002. The cambiocorsa (F-1)transmission program had been upgraded so it was less clunky sounding. Build quality is excellent and the interior exudes italian leather class. Ordered the skyhook suspension and even with lower profile tires the car is better riding than my Lexus SC 430. The thrill factor and engine sounds are great. The car is better looking from the rear than pictures illustrate. Prefer the Michelin tires and tread design. All in all I am very happy with the car--the car I had on order and changed was a 911 Carrera 4S with tiptronic--I think the Maserati has more cache and better sounds

The clutch is durable as long as you know how to drive. I bought a car with 60% clutch ware and three years after I had 62% clutch ware. If you use paddles to change gears you need to ease off gas when changing gears as you would do in a Manuel car. If your racing don’t ease off gas, but regular driving ease off gas. Your clutch will last a long time.

I have been lucky to have owned many different sports cars from Ferrari to 911s along with a some sl mercedes. Really did not understand how good the Maserati was till I took it out for a test, now I also have owned the Maserati Shamal which was very disappointing, but this new shape coupe was going back to the old Maserati days. Now it's important to know that you just can't test drive the 4200, you have to learn how to drive it, anyway, it took me by surprise, the best and the most exciting sports car I have ever owned, I have finally found the car I really love

cambiocorsa transmission (F1 style paddleshift behind steering wheel) is a definite plus over the manual. Shifts are quick, but they need some getting used to (take off your foot from the accelarator whenever shifting), but once this is mastered, what a blast to drive. Ferrari engine & transmission, Brembus brakes, italian workmanship for a the price of a S500 - take it any day.

Great looks, head turner, very fast... true sports car. A combination of beauty and muscle. It does have some problems that require repair: radio, CD, oil leak, gear box noise, vacum noise and more.
