The car for real enthusiasts - 2005 Maserati Quattroporte
By LAFORZAGOP - August 20 - 1:26 pmThis car is sick. My dad bought his this July after driving the likes of the Mercedes-Benz S500, S55 AMG, BMW 745Li, and Jaguar XJR. Of these cars the Maserati is definately the most special. It looks like nothing on the road and people will constantly stare and give appeasing gestures. It drives like a dream. It corners absolutely ridiculouslt for a 5,000 lb. + four door sedan. In fact I think it handles better than my Dads heavily modded Porsche C4. After driving this car I just dont think its possible to go back to the mass produced German and British cars. It makes you feel special and you will find yourself just going outside just to look at it. This is by far the best designed sedan on market today.

If looks really were everything . . . - 2005 Maserati Quattroporte
By Angry but Hopeful - February 7 - 10:23 amGorgeous sedan over a sports car chassis. Ive owned it 20 days; its been in the shop 6 of those. Of 530 miles since delivery, 162 miles (31%) are repair-related (and that will increase because its at the dealer again). Im having horrible flashbacks to my gorgeous 92 Jaguar VandenPlas. Apparently the notion of competitive benchmarking isnt known in this company; it lacks some features that have been standard in other luxury cars for a decade. Im praying that the problems will cease because, when Ive been able to drive it, its a really fun car to drive--and I dont mind the head-turning effects, either! (Im old enough to know its the car, not me, causing the head- turning.)

Looks Good But Hunk Of Junk - 2005 Maserati Quattroporte
By dane17 - February 21 - 7:24 amThis car is strictly "looks only", it is not reliable or even close to it. I have already sank $13,760 in repairs at only 23K miles. This is totally unacceptable for a $140K car when new. I am taking it to the auction next week to "unload" before it can empty my wallet again. But if you want a sharp car that sits good in the driveway - this is it! Just dont drive it anywhere!!
