  BEWARE! - 2008 Maserati GranTurismo
  By eyedoc - August 29 - 8:03 pm

  This is a gorgeous, fast, comfortable ride that definitely turns heads. Unfortunately, its full of quirks, and electrical problems. My car has been back to dealership eight times in as many months. Navigation, proximity sensors, alarm system, seat heater have all failed or not worked properly. Dealer has been responsive, but the car may disappoint for this reason.

  Loving my car - 2008 Maserati GranTurismo
  By Matzorati - March 13 - 8:50 am

  I love my Gran Turismo. I havent even driven my Rangerover since I bought it. I have put 20,000 miles on it in 17 months. I love everything EXCEPT that the 20 rims leave so little rubber that I get blow outs often. I purchased the insurance, but that doesnt get you where you are going. After my third blow out late at night in a not so wonderful location I purchased the inflatable spare kit from the dealer. It takes up about 1/t the trunk and cost over $2000. So my advice is no larger rims - otherwise the car is a complete and wonderful driving experience!

  What a Machine! - 2008 Maserati GranTurismo
  By mrh - October 8 - 4:40 pm

  I love this new GranTurismo. For me, its got just the right blend of head turning looks and performance. I have had BMW M5, 645ci, and Porsche 911 -- while all fine automobiles, they lacked the "total package" I was looking for. I was looking real grand touring auto, something for trips to the Lake, Chicago and Kentucky. This new GranTurismo fills the bill for me. The only drawback I can find so far is the seats tend to get really hot when parked in the sun and take a while to cool off (Bourdeaux). Ventilated seats would be a great option.

  Everyday Driver - 2008 Maserati GranTurismo
  By The Sexy Italian - February 11 - 12:50 am

  A bargain considering Pininfarina styling and Ferrari based technology with a 4yr/50,000 mile warranty. The 2+2 seating is larger than the BMW 6 series and the hand assembled interior is awesome. Of course, the engine sound is intoxicating and everyday driving is a pleasure. I enjoy this car more than my 911 and Lamborghini Gallardo.

  Most Excellent - 2008 Maserati GranTurismo
  By Palo Alto - July 4 - 12:20 pm

  You must see this car in person. Photos do not due it justice. Rarely does a day go by when someone doesnt stare or yell out the window about my car. This is the ultimate executive car. Comfortable, luxurious and fun. Back seat can fit 2 full size adults but, the car does not look large from the outside. Interior is so Italian. No German car can match. The best part, no one else has one.

  Prop shaft defect - 2008 Maserati GranTurismo
  By Kevin Dorgan - May 2 - 4:30 am

  Stunning looking vehicle and quite rare to have 4 usable seats in this style of car. Gear box is excellent in manual sport mode, brakes only average, perhaps a little under powered, but no doubt S model will resolve these issues. It really is a joy to drive long and short distances. Engine has an enjoyable sound and in most areas it does what it was designed to do, and really quite well. However I have experienced unacceptable problems with the prop shaft. The vehicle is presently having its fifth shaft fitted. The rear tires are also wearing unevenly and at an unacceptable rate. Maserati has not been able so far to identify the cause or solution to the problem.
