Faults:

Rust, rust, rust... everywhere! Car body looks like a ruin.

Turbos... at 120000km.

Rear wheels every 8000km.

Car electrics and electronics are a big problem.. sometimes the central locking system works, sometimes not.. wipers are the same... and once when I was driving on the motorway (speed about 180km/h) the lights turned off... bad surprise!!

General Comments:

This car is a diva... and you have to treat and to handle it like a diva... then it is fabulous!

The performance of the 425 is incredible. Looks like a rusty old Fiat... runs like a Ferrari. I love to see the surprised faces of Calibra- and 325i drivers after they got beaten by the 425.

Cabin is very luxurious. Every time I get in I am surprised it is a bit more beautiful than I remember.

Be damn careful if it is raining or snowing!!

The cabin is quite spacious and very comfortable for 4 persons.

Damn, the fuel consumption is a catastrophe!! It is NEVER under 13l/100km... and most of the time about 17l/100km... and the scale seems to have no end. Personal record: 25l/100km.

If you want to buy one... spend your holidays in Italy and buy it there. Maseratis are damn cheap there, but be careful... most of them are ready to throw away.
