Like Italian exotica/have no sense.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Loved it. Understated class. That's a Maserati.

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

No

£32500 for a 15000 mile car.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Looks and always loved the Maserati marque

What was the dealer like?

Hopeless. Knew car was a dud (I didn't) and couldn't fix it. Eventually had to buy car back from me.

What's it like to drive?

Mediocre to be frank. When it ran right it was extremely fast but 4 speed auto not so hot on a 370bhp v8. Steering was nothing brilliant. Brakes were excellent and the v8 burble just music.

What's it like to park?

No problems

Have you had any problems with the car?

Throttle potentiometers. Eventually sold car back to dealer on threat of rejection. Throttles would either jam open, car would rev up of own accord or "check engine/limp home" mode. Off road for 6 weeks in the three months I had it

What's most practical about your car?

Seated 4.
