Ferrari substitute?
Dealer service was expensive but good, and many items were upgraded and checked. Engine is wonderful both in appearance and performance. Wide rev range and great Ferrari sound over 5K. A chain belt gives a Ferrari- designed engine performance without the superexpensive belt changes.Interior is beautiful, throttle progressive, brakes good, steering and clutch light, but first and second gear are baulky. Free dealer upgrade helped a bit, but still not as good as Porsche. Scuttle shake is the only other issue, especially when starting off for some reason, but overall this is a super secondhand value and a fun ride.
Itallian beast
I purchased my Spyder used in august of 2005 and it has been my daily driver ever since. The thrust of the V8 is incredible and the sound is very satisfying. The electric top neatly stows in within seconds. I previously owned a 2002 BMW M3 convertible, and their is no comparison. My M3 struggled in winter driving as I live in Minnesota, but the skyhook suspension on the Maserati makes winter driving suprisingly pleasant, I have driven this car through the 2 winters without a problem. The customer service could be better with Maserati, my car has had numerous problems with the windshield wiper motor, and needed to be replaced, but thats it, great car would highly recommend.
Beauty and sophistication
I bought this car after owning two Ferraris. The warranty did the trick along with the understated elegance with extraordinary sound, performance, and beauty.
Just One Problem
Everything about the car has been up to, or exceeded my expectations. I have been very surprised by how many people recognize this rare and unfamiliar car, and by the number of unsolicited compliments I have been getting from total strangers. The most frequent remark is about how elegant the car looks on the street, compared to photographs.
Italian Exotic for everyday.
I have owned Maseratis for over 30 years, and this is by far the best of them. The look is understated elegance, the more you look at it, the more beautiful it gets. The performance is outstanding, and it is always a joy to drive. The car has been very reliable, but parts are expensive, they are Ferrari parts after all. These cars are rare, and getting hard to find, buy one now, before everyone discovers how great they are.
