Maserati Quattroporte Review: Italy takes on the S-Class

[@stevefowler2112]

I test drove a used 2105 Quattro Porte Q4 S V6 last week...it had 35K miles. I have previously owned a 2016 BMW 550i and while the V6 at 404 HP didn't quite have the same kick as the Bimmer 445 HP in their TT V8 it was no slouch and I was Very impressed with how she drove and steered and I also liked the infotainment system, thought it was well thought out, easy to use and responded quickly. Fyi, with tax out the door the car was $40K so quite a bit of depreciation, which I liked (being the one that didn't have to pay it). Overall I was very impressed and love how the white car looks and yes the backseat is amazing...my 20 year old son is 6'2" and I doubt he could get in a Ghibli's backseat so the Quattro Porte is my choice, plus I really like how the car looks.

I just got the 2015 QP v8 GTS what a special car this is. www.maseratilife.com/forums/qp6-2013/121575-my-new-2015-maserati.html

It's a carbon finish, not plastic. It's an exclusive machine .... If you have one, life has succeeded. Mercedes is just mercedes .... There are millions.

[@MultiSavetheplanet1]

not too many cars look good in white, but this one is beautiful..good job

[@nathanielochoa3623]

Wow beautiful limo...so big though, that's why I prefer the Ghibli...and if you prefer the V6 like myself then Ghibli makes complete sense...either way Maserati is just a classy joint

[@luisrios1224]

why do you havr to be a chairman of a board or a CEO to own a maserati? i hate when people tag you based on what you drive, im a mechanic and i own a quattoporte. this car is for car enthusiasts not just rich people.

[@jlove24]

Luis Rios how’s the maintenance

[@DariaDaria85]

Love your comment ❤️ quattroporte is my dream car and I'm not an CEO or any other high position person. I'm working in fashion and think I could drive a quattroporte isn't it? 😍

Great Car of Family!☆

[@DarthMWAL]

Love the car, but typical English inspired snobbery about uconnect. Notice he tells us that the only disappointment about the touchscreen is that it is based on chrysler. Why is that a bad thing? It works well, simple to use, does the job and is easy to source and service. What, you want maserati to try to design another touchscreen just to say it is not a Chrysler product? Then what genius? A car that already has a crappy service record despite its achingly gorgeous design has yet another Italian built snafu to drag its owner into the shop on over and over again? Maserati wants to sell 50,000 cars a year. You do that above all with reliability. Hell, give it some more American parts so its cheaper to service and more reliable, fine by me. What makes it gloriously Italian is the engine and the bodywork. Check and check. Ill take mine in Modena red thanks very much.

[@DarthMWAL]

I said "english inspired". This guy doesn't have an original thought in his head about his criticism of American cars. Just a bit of Clarkson's disdain and add a little Needell, then call everything American cheap and unworthy. Then let the Aussie copy and we have a review folks.

[@PHONYASIAN]

it's because if you live in America and you look at a $20000 dodge dart, you'll see exactly the same infotainment system. And I don't know about you but I don't want to spend $100000 on a car and see it's sharing parts with a 20000 dollar car.

[@DarthMWAL]

+PHONYASIAN I understand that in theory where you are coming from, but when I sit in a $60000 SRT Grand Cherokee and see the same thing it ain't so bad. Would we all have this gripe if they said "screw it, let's just go license iOS and put it in the car? No...nobody would care. If it works, and is functional, and it appears in a Dart or a Maserati, and it had "Apple" on it...nobody would be having this conversation - it would just be cool. That's my point. Besides...say this was a German car, we'd expect the germans to make their own system and have it be pretty reliable and useable right? Do you seriously want the Italians to try their hand at that? The answer of course is "hell no" since they don't know how to build anything that lasts longer than 2 years under serious use anyway. (Except the Coliseum...that lasted...) So what if they went off and licensed Audi's MMI? Would you be griping about it? Same MMI in the $27000 base A4 Premium I rented this week that is found in the Audi S8 I drove last week.....why would that be a problem? Forest for the trees....

[@odenis37]

Mark Walser Audi would be a lot way better than chrysler

[@steveedmond9362]

Exactly...Lotus has been using Toyota motors for years. So a *stunning sports car/track day specialist* is using the same motor as your last Uber driver 🤣😳

[@discodave9815]

would have loved to see it in black on black, all i ever see it reviewed is white...

[@alex-nv8rk]

Correction - Grip has nothing to do with how big a tire is.

[@stevefowler2112]

I assume you are bad at math too?

Rock song as an intro for a Maserati is really not a good choice...

nakul singh They are 4 way powerd!

[@Famishedpage]

You can get these used, older of course, for like 30k. lol

[@KAZ109]

Famishedpage Yes you can, much older.....Just like ANY other car the older model/Gen will be much cheaper . Sooooooo your point???

[@Famishedpage]

But when it comes to exotic luxury cars, 30 grand is dirt cheap compared to its original price tag. Every car deprecates, but exotics rarely do. Maserati, of course, is the worst with depreciation. That is the point i was making. Maurice Webb

ugly headlamps

[@Smart1529]

to you, yes

[@193322009]

Lee, I have to agree with you. Take a look at the head lights and tail lights on a 2008 Quattroporte. They are clean and beautifully shaped. Also, no LEDs. IMHO, the 5th generation is the best.

[@reggier2343]

shit thats a long ass car.

[@XFHU]

Hahaha piece of junk

[@pixelimagingmedia]

I recently to be accurate 10/19/2017 bought a Maserati quarto Porte from @maseratiofsandiego and this car is nothing but a piece of junk, has been to shop for service twice, just noticed they missed stitching on the middle back seat and other issues very poor build quality what a junk, I will loose few thousand and get rid of this junk, I hate @maserati

[@toffeesvideos]

Pixel Imaging Media I’ve got the same car but simply do not recognise your description at all.. The finish on mine is better than anything else I’ve ever owned..including RR and Bentley..

[@pixelimagingmedia]

There is no way you can compare this junk with S-Class

[@kasparsgrinbergs6001]

This car is exclusive .... Sports sedan. Mercedes is just mercedes ... It's like comparing a Ferrari to a golf.
