Great until it breaks, which will happen.
They drive amazingly though.

Which Maserati, Samir?

A piece of shit diesel 2016 Ghibli and pic related are not the same car and have nothing to do with each other.

Be specific when making shitty brand whore threads.

Is it true that they eat clutches for every meal of the day?

>>14076023
The DCT cars get somewhere between 5k and 20k out a clutch and it's ~7k for a new one. The auto cars are much better (and drive better imo).

>>14076036
What about the regular manual transmission ones, not the cambiocorsas or whatever?

>gorgeous
The BiTurbo is atrocious
>not too shabby
The Bora was the slowest mid engined vehicle of its entire decade
>price
Quatteroportes are worth $30,000 for a reason
>overall duh dough
Shut up, Jamal.

Haven't done a clutch on one so can't say for sure but 360s and 550s from that era can get 30k miles out of one, or 800 miles, really depends how you drive it. I don't know if the 4200 has a significantly different clutch from those cars but the F1 trans cars are pretty similar, so I assume the manual cars are as well.

Matt Farah says the Quatteroporte is trash incarnate

Got a nice engine note though

I sat in one like your pic not too long ago, it was a MY '14.
It was gorgeous both inside and out, but fuck me sideways if their radio units are not straight from cheap FIATs from 15 years ago.
It literally still has the 4 holes where you need to insert a small screwdriver so the whole unit comes out.
Like what the fuck, this car costs hundreds of thousands, oozes elegance from every inch and they put this cheap shit in there.
Also the climate control panel looks so outdated and out of place it hurts.

I'm not saying they have to go full touch screen, but goddamnit put some effort in making dials and buttons a bit more like the rest of the dash

Pic related, right under the display.

Cool, thanks. I was actually looking at a 4200 GT about a year ago. I read everywhere that they are difficult and expensive to run because of the clutches in particular.

Do you think I could do the majority of the maintenance myself if I were dedicated enough? Ive got about $40k in car money saved up, I think that should be enough for a few years of fun.

I think the climate control panel looks great but it doesn't fit in at all

Sorry I didn't catch this post earlier, if you're still here the answer is no for sure if you get a DCT car, even if you did manage to change the clutch yourself you would need the computer (AG Autronica Leonardo) to have the trans perform the bleed protocol, identify the new sensors, and let it know it has a new clutch. We get cars towed in stuck in gear or not going into gear that independent shops have tried to do the clutch job on and not been able to reset it. The manual car you might be able to do it yourself but it's one of those things that if you have to ask it's probably not going to happen.
