How was it? And how come you get to ride in all these exotics?

My dad was test driving it since the dealer invited us to test it because it is supposed to be like a new Ghibli, the others we have been looking at to purchase at a later date.

(I'd posted the following review elsewhere, hence why I have it)

Overall, I am not impressed. It is a good car, don't get me wrong. The ride is nice. The seats are nice, but a tad hard. The interior was not as bad as everyone says, but the plastic that was in it did feel a bit cheap. The twin turbo V6 provides it with good power, and supposedly it handles well (I only have my dad's word on that). The navigation also is by Garmin, but the infotainment system is rather poor and slow.

However, it lacks that feeling of a Maserati. There is nothing special about it. The engine note is really not exciting or dramatic like old one's V8. There is nothing to distinguish it from any other car out there. On Top Gear, they said that they'd have the old one despite it's issues. I don't even think I'd have the new one without the issues.

There is nothing with this car that makes me say "I'd take this over an A8/7 Series/S Class in a heartbeat." It's just another sedan. In an attempt to make a better car, Maserati lost the one thing that made them better than everyone else.

The one we drove:

It didn't suck, it just wasn't what I would have expected.

You'll never be able to do that. We only did this because we are looking at a Ghibli and the dealer says this'll drive a lot like it.

Besides, a dealer representative tends to go with you on the more expensive ones. One went out with my dad in the F-Type, and when we drove a Karma, one went with us then too.

My dad used to have a yellow 355. He sold it in 2008 because he was planning to get a 430, but the market started fall...

I've also ridden in:
430
Diablo
Sagaris (Uncle's car)
