are maseratis any good?

>>15650463
that's a mazderati

Depends on the era, they really have nothing in common between eras

1920-1967 - great
1968 - 1974 - shit
1975 - 1989 - super shit
1990 - 1997 - super mega shit
1998 - 2013 - garbage
2014- current - shit and garbage

No they are shit.
Buy a Twingo Model S instead.

Are you, someone who drives a 1.2 liter diesel, actually telling me, someone who has worked on 100 QPs and GTs, that you are correct and I am wrong?

>>15650528
Well at least you know something you fat old faggot.

The GranTurismo is a very nice car. I've spent a few hours driving a 2013 with the ZF slushbox. If it had a manual transmission option I'd consider buying one. Body work is simply gorgeous. Engine note is heavenly. Driving dynamics don't compare to it's competition, but most Italian car purchases aren't objectively reasonable.

>>15651191
What do you know besides how to be a degenerate rapist?

>>15651172
So?
Just because exotic cars break down and are expensive to fix they're instantly shit?
Nevermind the Granturismo is probably the most gorgeous car ever made and the Quattroporte has more flair in a fucking door handle than the entire competition.

Next thing you're gonna say you love Civics and Corollas.

Extremely awful. Just watch as they plumit in value because nobody wants them.
Maseratis are literally cars for normies who wish that they were numoney and know literally nothing about cars.

It really says a lot about the Maserati grill that it was almost good enough to have me ignoring the entire rest of the car. Almost.

I like the symbol. It's badass but none of their cars are appealing. They tried to push the idea of a v6 grand touring car for over a decade before finally Ferrari told them to fucking stop. Ferrari helped them out but Ferrari makes sure anything they get their hands on doesn't outperform Ferraris. So the best you'll ever get from Maserati is a gimped Ferrari powertrain, Ferrari tier maintenance requirements, Grand Touring price with no reputation to back it up.

They plummet in value because they're expensive as fuck to fix, you dimwit.
They're literally full size sedans with a Ferrari drivetrain.

This genuinely intrigues me. What specifically do you find in common with the car you posted and this car? Pic related is a Trabant manufactured in Eastern Germany during 1958

>>15651429
Right, I forgot that Maseratis values plummet similarly to these ferraris you think share their drive trains.
Oh wait.
Normies that makes around $70k a year who are image obsessed and know nothing about cars buy Maseratis.
That's literally their target market. People who wish they were rich and want to look rich.

They're ugly, they're bad, they're cheap, they're garbage.
If you seriously think car enthusiast buy maseratis you're brain dead.

They do share drivetrains for the most part during the DuoSelect era, except the Maserati is 90 degree and the 430 is flat plane.

That was also designed by a good designer. Unlike the popular current model road cars.

Old MR2s aren't expensive, are fun and are quite reliable as well. Maseratis are largely none of those things. They're also pretty ugly

>>15651865
What's the point of a car where you can't do any maintenance yourself? And they're now all automatic only.

I'd rather tell you to get an Aston Martin.
