BRILLIAND MANUAL SEDAN FOR CAR ENTHUSIAST

I own 2005 Quattroporte for 16 years with happy 59,000 miles with 5 major service every 12,000 miles. I drive only on Manual sport mode with Manual clutch mind set to avoid unnecessary clutch slippage, My car still has the original clutch and it drive with no slippage. I had no mechanical or electrical issue. It has been more reliable than my previous 2001 E39 M5, 1999 E39 540I, 2004 E320 MERCEDES wagon. It is a very involving and fun driving experience if you master the transmission/engine combination. It is also the best handling sedan with the ultimate weight distribution 47% front, 53% rear. During cornering the weight settle on the outside rear tire and the car turns like a mid engine car. It was my daily driver the first 3 years/36000 miles, and later it is driven on WEEKENDS only. This is an modern classic for the true Petrol head who appreciates driving dynamics and timeless design. Doug Demuro reviews are very misleading and the emphasis is on infotainment system, not driving experience. It is a modern classic and automotive art.

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.

Im having the hardest time figuring out why I $113k car is worst than my 92 chevy cavalier. This car has been in the shop more than I can remember. TOO many problems for a luxury car. Computer sensors/transmission failures/alarm malfunctions/clutch/battery/engine failure systems problems just to name a few. I will NEVER buy another.

Gorgeous sedan over a sports car chassis. I've owned it 20 days; it's been in the shop 6 of those. Of 530 miles since delivery, 162 miles (31%) are repair-related (and that will increase because it's at the dealer again). I'm having horrible flashbacks to my gorgeous '92 Jaguar VandenPlas. Apparently the notion of competitive benchmarking isn't known in this company; it lacks some features that have been standard in other luxury cars for a decade. I'm praying that the problems will cease because, when I've been able to drive it, it's a really fun car to drive--and I don't mind the head-turning effects, either! (I'm old enough to know it's the car, not me, causing the head- turning.)

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.
