Also, you can get a 7 Series, S-Class, A8 or XJ from 2005 also easily for 20k

[@kevinocana5113]

Damn Doug what did Maserati ever do to you?

[@mptrindade]

Dear Doug, I love your show, but you should test a proper Quatroporte. I now own my 3rd QP, a QT GT Executive 4.7 S, and love it! My first was a Duo-select like the one you reviewed and it was not the best transmission but it gave a excellent driving feeling. The ZF gearbox is way cheaper to maintain. I think the car you used to make the review was in bad condition, we can see it has un-matching tire sizes, the profile of the rear is not matching the fronts. I have Quatroportes for 10 year now, and it has been a sweet story, no big issues and a lot of enjoyment. I think you were not very objective, at times it seemed you were trying to prove your preconceptions instead of doing a objective valuation, or maybe that car in specific was not a good unit. I would not trade my 4.7 QT for a Panamera or a S-Class... But I´m looking to had a 4.7 Granturismo to my garage, simply the best looking GT made on this century, and a design that keeps it´s appeal even today, and the exhaust note is the best there is . Keep up the good work, but I think this model was not fairly treated.

My uncle has one as well for 5-6 years now, never had any problems with it.

[@Joel-qq5wd]

I love Doug's reviews, but have to disagree on this one. To be fair, my experience starts at the 2008 model where several of his complaints were addressed and fixed by Maserati. The ZF transmission upgrade completely and reliably resolved the issues that plagued the duo-select. Several other updates resolved issues he mentioned as well. Regarding his comments on the styling. This is where I cannot disagree more. I feel like the styling is timeless and gorgeous. It's like saying a vintage Porsche looks dated. The M139 Quattroporte's design, in my opinion, is gorgeous and so unique. Add to this the rarity of coming across one on the road, it still turns heads, prompting people to ask what it is. I love it because it doesn't look like other cars and, in person, it has a very assertive and sexy presence. The interior is also stunning in it's craftmanship and high quality hand stitched leather. Regarding it's reliability, read owner reviews. It's surprisingly reliable with nearly all giving it 5 star reviews. One last point, that is less significant, but worth noting, I would have NEVER even considered the issue with the placement of the turn signal and the paddles if Doug hadn't said anything. Perhaps this was also addressed by 2008 because it is a nonissue. My reach has never been obstructed by the paddles.

[@trombulan]

Couldn't agree more with all that you mentioned. Lets not forget that Doug knows better than pininfarina designers what beauty is :)

I’ll offer some help, since I’ve got one of these (a Quattroporte Sport GT, executive trim) currently, but mine is a 2008 (and I paid $18,500 for mine). First, Cruise control is on the left stalk. Granted, the button to turn it on is on the little panel - turn it on once when you get the car, and it’s on forever. Re: the radio - don't jump through those hoops every time - those are how to set the stations up. Just use the buttons on the wheel. Re: the check engine light - takes 16-20 seconds, the computers always do a self-check when it starts up. It’s not a big deal, and Mas owners don’t wig out over it. The vents on the side are real, not decorative, used for airflow with the tiny engine compartment. The Duo-Select tranny does suck - make sure you get the ZF - way better. Re: outdated styling - not so much. Pininfarina did the body, and their name is still on it. Mine turns heads and garners comments everywhere I take it. I've no idea why Doug didn’t dig the sound - Top Gear reviewed the QP, and Jeremy shushed James and Richard when it was driving by so he could listen. Even in this video you can hear it - the Ferrari motor and that exhaust note is simply Italian music. Performance time 0-60 - I dunno, mine is a 2008 QP Sport GT, and it’s quite a bit faster than described. I’ve replaced an alternator which, to be fair, was pricy, but other than that, literally everything on the car works, and it’s my current daily driver. It seems like Doug may have had an axe to grind; it’s a quirky car, but people love it, it’s a *joy* to drive, it’s very fast, handles like a dream, and it’s super comfortable. I could fall asleep trying to care if people think I’m rich; This was a bucket list car for me, and I just love driving this thing! Just make sure you get the ZF trans and you’ll love it.

As an owner of a QP I'll have to say , you are right on some occasions. You should not buy one if you cannot pay for repairs, but that counts for all cars. True the entertainment system is silly and the rearscreen has two buttons instead of one. The little poke to go into reverse is a bit odd and something you have to explain to someone that it has to be tilted upwards before they break it. However, shiftpaddles work just fine even in auto mode. No seat heating, true(I guess that's optional, not strange considered the cars are made in Italy..).Strange you did not mention that it is a fuel consuming car (you probable are used to that in the US). But the info button on the steering wheel works just fine, and you cán change the radiostations on the steering wheel while the nav is on. The airbag on the passengers side is quite visible (but then again it makes sense so you don't put stuff on it). The airvents in the middle do not rattle at all, for a fact nothing rattles, and it has 185.00 km on mine !You are right about the cruise control buttons ,but living in Europe with all the heavy traffic I never come to use it.I never encountered problems with the paddleshifter and the turning signals by the way. I replaced the clutch once , not strange since it is a rearwheel drive 2000 kg car. Mine has a beautiful tan leather upholstery and It does handle very well. Acceleration 5.2 sec is maybe not fast if you are used to drive sportscars but it's a sedan (the fastest sedan actually when it came out the first time) But it still drives like a nimble car .The sound of the QP is fantastic even with standard exhaust. Because the windows are dubble layered you'll have to open a window to hear it though. Off course everyone has a right to their own opinion , mine however comes from a 5 years experience with this car and although things like style and details you might like or dislike are totally subjective. My experience is that nobody looks at you like you are a douchebag when you drive a Maserati , I have never gotten so many complements about this car and I have driven a lot of nice cars. This is still by far my favorite car. For what it's worth, if I testdrove the car you drove in this vid I would not buy it, there's to much wrong with it . Does not mean all QP's are like this , I'm sure I can find a real shitty 997 Turbo. 😎

I just got a late 2007 Sport GT, with the ZF, and it has nothing of the issues he complains about. It’s low miles, looked like NEW for 20,000 cnd.

[@CHUCK-sy8xr]

I recently bought an 05 as my first car and as a project car for 4k. I love thé style the stupid f1 gearbox and all the bullshit on it just because it’s a fun car

[@URFATH3R]

@@CHUCK-sy8xrif this car held value no one would hate have u seen this eras Bentley continental… or flying spur, or Ferraris, and lambos…. Even Mercedes and Audi… but a lot of those held their value better people hate cause this car sadly had horrible marketing and since Maserati is so small it can’t up reliability that fast so it’s kinda like a infinite loop of them not being able to give us good cars and now sadly that has basically “demaseratied” them… this car used to destroy the earth with its nasty v8 now it’s going electric…. (Also bad for the earth just a bigger hit later the. A smaller hit now)

yea never saw the front of the car, or the back

[@zenica79]

Just to say something about this video.I m maserati quattroporte owner and i love my car. It's my babe that looks beautiful. All issues he is talking about maserati got fixed i don't have that small second stick inside, then that handles on back of steering wheel,i got sunroof,no beeping sound when u backing up,cup holders just perfect,even better than other cars,probably he got older version. Mine is white and again with sunroof and beautiful yelow-black interior called flaming orange i just love it.Steering and driving just perfect weightet car with perfect balance 51-49 with ZF transmission and Ferrari engine sound under hood,that goes in Ferrari 460-360 That sound of the engine gives me goosebumps every time i floor it,still after 6 years and many,many miles. It's head turner when u r on the road and i got no issues with it at all,i own it 6 years,only issue i had it's changing coolant hose on back of the engine in six years that's it,like i said love my car looking to get one more nothing else,no any other car i want ,,maybe,maybe audi R8. It looks like maserati saw this video and fixed all issues,made the best looking,reliable and sexy sounding car on the road.if u want Doug feel free to contact me check my car all issues u mentioned my car doesn't have,like i said probably u checked older version maserati got them all fixed maybe gps sistem it's outdated now only issue

Well, the car costed a 106k when it was new. All cars from that time that were in this price range had way better build quality and more features.

You can buy a 26 year old Mercedes sold for far less and it will have excellent build quality to this day.

[@HOLYMOTHERLAND420]

I started to watch your videos to fall asleep. Thank you for that!

[@ricardogoncalves7720]

I've had my 2007 QP for the last 8 years. My check engine light has never stayed on, I never changed no f1 pump or anything under the hood, I still have my original clutch with 22k miles and my interior is NOT blue. It's beige with light brown. I have heated, cooled and massaging seats. I have never used the radio because I installed an auxiliary wire to plug in my music. Trans does have a lag in it. Feels like driving a standard manual but it has 400hp so the car is still quick for a sedan. This guy tested a lemon.

[@Sksjwbduf]

Your is 2 years newer. In those 2 years Maserati implemented those features and, as Doug said, fixed the transmission

[@isaiahburr9832]

No, you just own a good example. Maserati builds junk.

[@jasonmalcom9147]

Your lucky. Most are junk

[@vladburghianu2413]

[@DhruvDrives]

You must have the year with ZF Transmission as Doug mentioned. The Duoselect ones are absolute shit. In addition, you must be very lucky to have a QP that hasn't been a money pit. I've met a few people who own a QP or have owned one and they are constantly wasting money fixing everything that breaks

[@allkyrieirving8191]

All Kyrie Irving Exactly

[@alanwisniewski1339]

everybody gangsta untill tv is avalible

[@20rvd02]

I owned one and for almost the new price. It was not great but I was in love with the noise. It kept me awake at night, worried about repair cost. There were buttons galore that didn't do anything. A cupholder that didn't hold cups, or anything else. It wasn't a great car. But! It was beautiful, I always had people talking to me about her (she was called Gina) and she sounded fantastic. I sometimes wish for one and then I remember it costs about $15K year on year to own and operate one. Caveat emptor!!

[@zeala53]

[@hellboybihac]

I think the biggest annoyance/problem with this car would be if you bought it and it came with Doug.

[@b1ff]

Given that's about as likely to happen as you spontaneously turning into a living, breathing snowman dancing on the surface of the sun, I must admit my perplexity as to why you'd ever even think about such a scenario.

[@hellboybihac]

Entropy you never know my friend xD

[@b1ff]

True, I'll likely never know the exact odds of this car being sold to a person with Doug DeMuro along with it, but I can be strongly certain that the chances are roughly equivalent to you spontaneously appear four or five years before the Big Bang. Not necessarily utterly impossible, but so very near to it so as to be mathematically indistinguishable from utterly impossible. Also, even if he WERE to come with the car, all one would need to do it let him out, he'd go on about his merry way, and the annoyance/problem you speak of will have solved itself in mere seconds, thus making the overall horrid design of the car a vastly more pressing problem than that of Mr. DeMuro. Unless, that is, you'd PREFER he come with it were you to buy it, in which case... ;-) that wouldn't be an annoyance/problem for you at all, now would it?

[@buzzlightbeer4215]
