Off course, but to choose a car without this regular and expensive problem is a no-brainer.

Indeed, I was only being cautious about the “whatsoever” part

Thank you for fast reply! So every engine after 148697 will not whatsoever have a problem with rattle then? That means cars from late 09 and onwards? Just try to do my research before buying one. I do care more about these issues, service history and maintenance than rims, colour and so on. So these topics are of great interest for me!

Just make sure you do a good read up on the Sport GTS - if you can find one of those they are more than worth it, also in terms of keeping value. The sport button on the Sport GTS also adds a lot of magic to the car sound (or should I say music)

I do have a G-class and an Integrale, so i think the QPV will fit right in the middle Guess my standard to the conditon and history makes the GTS out my league for now. Maybe aim for an 11 or 12 S. But i have started to think the black is boring.. But as i said, if i find the right condition and history that`s the main part for me!

It not boring, it’s mean

Black - all it needs is the correct accents.

You are referring to the red callipers of course

Yes changing to yellow obviously. The correct accent.

You are right, it does look great in that picture, with the correct (red) callipers.

I came across this official Maserati doc which details the various additions/changes to the QP & GT Model years from 2009 to 2012 which I thought might be of interest to some here

Have you got the same technical info but up to, say, 2014 range? Just want to make sure before i commit to buy a 2014 Granturismo engine, that i will not need to buy a gearbox too. It is Auto for Auto, but wonder if it is 6 speed ZF and not 7 or something...

Unfortunately not, but I think they used the same ZF 6 speed (ZF 6HP26) throughout

Yes, i think they are the same, ZF 6 Speed Auto too, but just wanted to make double sure

Have a common faults article with the ZF6HP26 from gears, but too large to upload 28Mbyte . Any way of getting uploaded?
