Just went on my first long distance trip with my Maserati GTS MC Shift and have to say that I was pleasantly surprised. Drove from Manchester to London and back on less than one tank of petrol with the cruise control set to 75 mph. The journey was around 400 miles. Do you all see those figures on long trips?
Just a quick rant – I've been reading a lot of reviews recently on how out of date our cars are in terms of power and technology, yet I still struggle to think of any other car that has been in production for 10 years, yet is more exciting than possibly anything on the road, and arguably better looking than any car that is in production right now.
It just made me realise how timeless our cars are, and I'm glad that during that time at least, Maserati focussed on producing a machine that focuses on the core pleasure of driving and bonding with the cars soul, and not on following the trends and jamming the car with all the latest technology - leading to a boring old car filled with obsolete technology – because as you know – technology is old the second the latest version comes out, however, our cars just keep on getting better and more special with time.
Not the best picture of my car as it's the only one I have on my phone - will be doing what I did to my previous GT - Carbon Fibre lip/ mirror caps/door handles, and painting the surrounding chrome bits to black. Also thinking of painting the break callipers to the Maserati blue ones, always thought it would go well with the exterior.
Let me know what your thoughts are!
