    Max rear passengers in GT

    Cheers Michael, I feel the same actually, but wife has spent 12 months telling me that she wants a soft top for when we move to France, plus I won’t be touring but mainly on the coast road, so decision is sadly made after 4 glorious years of QP ownership. Those French roads are fantastic, many...

    Max rear passengers in GT

    Agreeing with Wanderer here. - My Sport GT has 104K on, which is simply average mileage for all daily driver cars. Would you rather have a low miles garage queen with all of the issues that will certainly arise when you dare to show it the road, or a higher miles daily driver that has proven...

    130k miles GT

    Hallelujah - at last some sensible comments on higher mileage cars, after some disappointing “if it’s over 50K it’s knackered and worth nothing” comments from forum members. My 2007 4.2 QP sport GT is my daily driver, now on 103,000 and is bloody brilliant. The engine runs beautifully, it’s...

    Well priced QP Sport GTS

    Is it just my opinion, or are these prices starting to get a bit stupidly low? I’m sure that this trend won’t be exclusive to the QP’s at this rate, and when the cost of standard parts, repair, service, warranty etc., starts to represent such a substantial percentage of the cost of the car...

    NEC and Birmingham - Where to stay, how to travel

    I usually stay at the Hyatt in one of the higher floor 'Regency' rooms, good views of the canals/Broad Street, plus a free hospitality room for the exclusive use of Regency floor guests, serving complementary drinks and snacks etc. make it a more pleasant hotel stay. Enjoy your trip.

    The most beautiful Italian 4 door saloon of all time....

    Well done Drive Tribe - bang on. My QP V Sport GT is the total package; amazing design, head-turning looks, perfect balance, practical, fast, incredible sound, a true daily driver sports saloon. This is a car that if you don't have one, then you should get one soon. At the silly low prices...

    Maserati granturismo s mc shift 2010 Rosso mondiale red with contrast alcantara

    Just on a general question, clearly mileage is an issue. I'm not an expert obviously, but could someone explain the big issue on miles? I think most of us on here have our cars well looked after, with more care and money spent on our Masers than most other more standard cars. Even though my QP...

    In the market for a Maserati

    Yes yes to all of the above. - Unbelievable balance and connected driving experience for a 4-door. Great to have an experience-based QP review.

    In the market for a Maserati

    I see that you've no experience of the QP so understand that you can't really comment, but I'd suggest that you drive one and see if you think it drives like a '4-door grand tourer'. - I sold my new Porsche Boxster 3.4S PDK to buy my QP, because basically the Porche drove itself, and despite...

    In the market for a Maserati

    Hi, my QP Sport GT has sadly recently come up for sale. I have a bad habit of changing my cars every 2 years maximum, but this amazing car has held me for 3. My favourite car ever without exception. I think that I might regret this decision, but I like to try new stuff. The price might seem...

    QP Sport GTS 16k

    Ah I see, I didn't realise that you were referring only to this one specific 2009 QP. GT S, which will have a resale value of zero in 2-3 years, that seems completely reasonable. Enough from me on this thread, I'm out.

    QP Sport GTS 16k

    Errrr... Matt, when you say that you didn't even slightly suggest QP's will be worth zero in 2-3 years, your ACTUAL quote was..... " With a resale value in 2-3 years of approximately zero", etc. etc. - your exact words. - Mileage (sadly), does matter. What I feel though us that it shouldn't...

    QP Sport GTS 16k

    Excellent, and totally agree on the older models, just something in the soul of these cars that makes them special. I'm looking for an alternative daily driver at the moment for business use, but having got used to the Mas, everything just feels very ordinary.
