Had the California now for 7 weeks and have done 2000 miles already. I read on the other forum that values plummet with anything above normal 'Garage Queen' mileage but then someone commented it is a bit like 'not sha....g your girlfriend because you want to keep her in good nick for the next bloke'.
Anyway the Cali is everything it is meant to be, loud, fast and inyer face, but this Sunday I popped upto Leicester (150mls each way) in the QP and am convinced that the QP is the best all round piece of kit anyone ever wants. Especially at 6:00 am on the A34.
The way it just goes coupled with its natural majestic looks is on another planet compared to any other saloon (and most so called sports cars) on the market and after spending 2000 mls in the Cali and loving every minute beating up the French A roads I'm even more convinced I was right to keep the QP until I'm sat in a corner of some nursing home happily dribbling down the front of my Maserati overalls and starting every sentence with those immortal words 'when I was...........'.
Cancelled the GT Sport because although it is a fantadstic car it was in many ways just a 2 door QP and too similar whereas the Cali is the perfect foil giving the bits the QP can't.
My apologies for being a partial traitor but thought the comparison might be interesting. or not!!!!!!!!!
