Re: My Maserati Quattroporte Test Drive.

Thanks for sharing Mirage77! Nice job and glad you and your dad are so excited about it.

I can easily understand how one gets sold on these cars, they are so beautiful and enticing. About Maseratis in general, they also distinguish themselves from the competition in that with their coupes, the rear seats are actually usable. (Of course I understand that you are looking at the Quattroporte, not the Coupe - just a general comment).

To Roberto's point regarding the lack of attention to detail and finishing the product properly, this is the exact reason why I am somewhat biased against ownership of Italian cars. I had an Alfa long ago and it rusted so badly so quick that there was a growing hole under the driver's seat, and at that point I just got rid of it.

But, that does not mean that they are`still like that and they sure are gorgeous cars. I'd love to hear a happy success story about a Maserati ownership. Would be nice to hear it from you at some point in the future.
