Kyojin 1st Gear August 16, 2008 Share August 16, 2008 MB difficult to drive and you want a Maser Qporte?? I think in terms of ease of driving of driving, MB is much easier. Bentley Continental Or wait for Porsche Panamera, Aston Rapide Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nullifi3d 4th Gear August 16, 2008 Share August 16, 2008 The QP is good but i'd have other performance saloons like the BMW M5, or the Audi RS6 sedan when it arrives. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie47 1st Gear August 16, 2008 Share August 16, 2008 Yes but people notice the QP much more easily. Some well-heeled lady exec was parking it at the Ghim Moh CC car park and the droning engine made me sit up and scan the car park for the source of the music!

Schneider79 Clutched August 17, 2008 Share August 17, 2008 Getting a M3 or M5 will get finger pointing that your car might be a fake... the resistance in getting this 2 model is very higher for a lot of people... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zanter 3rd Gear August 18, 2008 Share August 18, 2008 Nope I wont. Cos its not particularly reliable & poor resale. The newer Meserati no longer have the ferrari engines but they have better gearboxes. Close to 400k for this car is not worth imho. Why not the CLS?

Miles 4th Gear August 18, 2008 Share August 18, 2008 if you are financially OK but not rich as in filthy rich but able to afford the maintenance would you consider buying a 2008 Maserati Quattroporte if not what other car would you consider looking at a 4 door saloon NO MB to difficult to drive for me thanks Maserati (whether Quattroporte or GTS) is going to be a connossieur's choice, compared to the usual suspects of S600, CLS63 AMG, 760Li, S8 or LS600h. A Bentley Continental Flying Spur (4 door) will set you back another $250-300k. ... definitely only for the filthy rich. Aston Rapide and Porsche Panamera are both still at least 2 years away. ... but will be around the price of the Bentley. The 612 Scaglietti (4 seats but only 2 doors) is even more expensive. Actually for that price, there are not many exotic competition for a 4 door sports saloon. So, in that sense, the Quattroporte (literally mean "4 doors" in Italian) has no peers. If only they drop in the dual cluth gearbox of Ferrari California. Well, you can't have everything in life. The ZF 7 speeder is good enough i guess. GO FOR IT!
