2011 Maserati Quattroporte S 4dr Sedan (4.7L 8cyl 6A)
The driving experience is like no other 200" Sedan with 4 doors. Amazing, you feel like you are driving a coupe, which ironically the Gran Turismo is and they use the QP platform. The 4.7 engine + the 6 speed ZF tranny is as good as it gets, and the paddle shifters are very user friendly in sport mode. The quality of the materials is top notch inside, the leather is way more durable than … the Jaguars and BMW's we have had, the Mercedes E and S Class are almost as good. The navigation sucks as does the Bluetooth. I did not buy the car for these items, if they are very important to you, this car is not for you. The maintenance is not bad except you are forced to buy the parts (air filter, oil filter, light replacements, etc...) from the dealer. You can't buy Maserati parts at retail outlets like Autozone or O'Reilly's for instance. The bushings are another hidden issue that creep up on you, because the car weighs 4389 lbs, if you run the car hard you will be replacing them and other suspension parts in less than 30,000 miles. I bought mine with 12K miles 2 years ago and will hit 29K miles this weekend. Will put front brakes on at 30K. Have Michellin Pilot Super Sport tires and hope to get 15K to 17K miles off them. May have to get an SRT or Hellcat next. Still love this car

2011 Maserati Quattroporte S 4dr Sedan (4.7L 8cyl 6A)
It is very the most beautiful car on the road, still! Definitely buy the 2010-2012 years Quattroporte-S with the 4.7. Talk to the dealer mechanics and the sales pros, the 4.7 engine is bullet proof. It drives and handles way better than either a Jag XJ or Mercedes E550 or S series. Truly fun to drive and you can get 22 mpg at 75 mph on long hauls. There is no need to dog it in sport … mode, why? From 40 mph to 120 mph+, the car is really quick in normal mode. I bought my 2011 in July 2016 with 12k miles and have put 9k trouble free miles, I choose to change the oil every 6k miles and use a German synthetic called Liqimali, my exotic repair specialist recommends it, better than American synthetics. Every time we take this car on a trip we always get horns honking, thumbs up, and people want to know what it is, most incredible car I have ever owned. Very satisfied.

2011 Maserati Quattroporte S 4dr Sedan (4.7L 8cyl 6A)
I am a car guy - period. Over 44 driving years I have owned every model of Porshe (excluding Panamera) every series BMW including the
M's, 5 Vettes and a few others I've built. The Sport GTS takes a few miles to learn to drive, and appreciate, but in Sport Mode, Manual shift using paddles it is absolutely excellent in every aspect. Handling - bearing in mind it is a 4400 lb car - is … every bit as good if not better than my EX 2011 M3 with competition package, much smoother on corners than any Vette. and definitely not lacking on power. Granted it does not have all the stupid stuff no reasonable person would want (as offered with S550 or 7 series). But talk about attention getting. Wow!
2011 QP S BEST CAR EVER OWNED!

2011 Maserati Quattroporte S 4dr Sedan (4.7L 8cyl 6A)
Bought this silver with the orange (I call it) interior, looked on line for several months for this color scheme, found one out of Florida with 29k miles for $29k, without a scratch and brand new Michelin Pilots, basically the price of a used Camry. It is very fast, has been very reliable, put 10k on it in 6 months, just wants to rev, hard to drive slow. Really turns heads, oil change … really only required every 12.5k per manual and my mechanic. My mechanic basically said that "the engine and tranny are bulletproof, just don't touch any buttons unnecessarily". I get it, center console hold down lever broken, the fuel door truck buttons pushed into the dash and the headlight switch is stuck on auto. Need to fix those things but mechanically very sound. I did not use a drop of oil in 8k miles! My LexusLS460 uses 1 quart a month. Absolutely love this car, you can take a 30MPH on ramp at 80 with zero drift, just sticks. I've seen them as low as $25k with 20k miles, grab one if you're thinking about it. You get a $140k vehicle for $20-25k. Just stay away from the older Duo-Select!
