Shawn Khatri My ride of choice is a Mini Cooper, thank you very much. Toyotas have no personality. I also have the right to judge whatever I please, you do not have to agree with it (though others have agreed with me). I never said I disliked the Panamera, just that it's proportions are a bit odd.

I was lucky enough to buy a 2009 Maserati QP 4.7 V8 (yes the one with the 435 bhp Ferrari built engine , with a top speed of 170mph) just over a year ago and my God what a car! It looks so serene and beautiful , but when you put your foot down, it just turns into a tiger! The exhaust sound is just incredible and the Gernan manufactured ZF gear box (the same one is fitted to the BMW X5) is so seemless that you don't even know that you've changed gear, other than the power surge from the car. I've always wanted a Maserati QP since I was 14 years old and 30+ years later....I finally got one. The only regret is I wish I got it 5 years earlier. Today's Maserati's are just not the same anymore and they no longer fit the Ferrari F136 Y wet sump engine (one with the red painted cam covers), which in my view is a huge mistake by Maserati. The QP was essentially a 4 door Ferrari but today it's lost that edge with its Chrysler built engines. So if you want to buy one, get one with the 4.7lt engine 2009- 2012. You won't regret it.

[@carmico21]

i bought one exactly 15 days ago, GTS Black on Black, red details with 60k kilometers. Now is at Car Detailing, next need to fix a few little things and then is ready to run up ;) could be not the best interior right now at 2018, the looks still very Bad Ass Mafia Car, ok tech is pretty old, even my actual Infiniti M is way better on this... but you can fix a part of this with an Android Box from Naviplus (even with rear camera) ... just one THING, when you turn on the Car... everything becomes PERFECT !!! what an engine from GOD !!! ferrari v8 aspirated! and the Sound.... HOLY CRAP !!!

[@mikeoxmaul_2121]

Glad to hear that. Maserati's are extremely expensive here. They can resale as high as SGD $1 million including taxes and paperwork

[@MatthieuVlogs]

i've also been in love with them for a long time! how has reliability been? hear good things about the ZF and figure that service/parts should be pretty available given strong production volumes

[@Edsportgts]

@@MatthieuVlogsi have one for last 5 years, now its on 101k miles and honestly can say its as reliable as any car of this type will be if not better, parts for zf is readily available, however rest of the parts you either get genuine or don’t get anything. There is few parts that you can find fitted to other makes but not many, so be prepared to pay for genuine parts which off course comes with maserati premium

I don’t “like” how it looks, but in a good color with some nice BBS wheels (either 19s 20s or even 21s) you can make them look significantly better than they look stock… And ofc then you have a wonderful interior, a magnificent engine and the build quality and engineering of Porsche before they went all plastic and “crappy techy”…

The Maserati looks decent and sounds great. I sat in it and it looks and feels like a 30.000€ Ford Mondeo. The Sat Nav is the worst i have used so far. Great to see somebody driving it but I wouldn’t drive it myself (if I had the money to buy a car in that price range). I really like the Aston.

Arteolike A suit is also one of the least comfortable, practical and efficient clothing equipment in the world. And yet if you show up to a respectable company for an interview in very efficient, cheap and comfortable trains + track suit then you will not get the job because suits are considered a statement of class.
