Nice to look at.
Practical (compared to true exotics)
Its not just another Porsche, etc.
Unique.
I-talian car sex appeal.

Yeah, I know, his son beats on the cars blah blah blah.
I am not saying it is the best car on the planet but, baller for dollar it is up there. Thank God for poor resale value.

aside from the fact that I dislike paddle shift cars, it is awesome. $47k is not too bad.

never really got into Maserati’s at all (other than the MC12, which in my eyes isn’t even a real Maserati, just an Enzo in drag)…in person i think they look way better than in pictures, but still not that great IMO

look up the maintenance on them… not that fun, especially if you have the F1 trans that requires a clutch replacement…

I liked them… until the new Gran Turismo came out, now I think they look like a shitty mid 90’s Italian car.

FWIW, I work on an '06 Gran Sport Coupe and have an '07 Quattroporte in the garage right now. They’re surprisingly nice cars. The shift programming is worlds ahead of where it was 4-5 years ago.
Maintenance nightmares? None. Nothing other than routine maintenance on both.
