2015 Maserati Quattroporte problems
The Maserati Quattroporte (Italian pronunciation: ) is a four-door luxury sports sedan produced by Italian automobile manufacturer Maserati. The name translated from Italian means "four doors". The car is in its sixth generation, with the first generation introduced in 1963.
Quattroporte I (AM107, 1963–1969)
The original Maserati Quattroporte (Tipo AM107) was built between 1963 and 1969. It was a large saloon powered by V8 engines—both firsts for a series production Maserati automobile.
History
The task of styling the Quattroporte was given to Turinese coachbuilder Pietro Frua, who drew inspiration from a special 5000 GT (chassis number 103.060) which he had designed in 1962 for Prince Karim Aga Khan. While the design was by Frua, body construction was carried out by Vignale.

I'm still really enjoying the car. I've had to replace the brake shoes and headlights at this point. The only downside is that the new brake shoes tend to squeal when stopping slowly. Nonetheless, I still love the car.
-
Beautiful exterior and interior styling by Pininfarina. The car is powered by a smooth and powerful Ferrari engine with a premium exhaust system and sound. The fine Italian leather interior is the best I have seen. This is a great car!
-
Beautiful luxury sedan that drives and handles like a sports car. One of just a few cars that are still handmade and if cars could have a soul the Maserati would have one. You can not beat the sound of the Ferrari engine. Even if you're a music lover you will choose the sound of the engine and exhaust over the stereo any day. Do yourself a favor and go drive a Maserati Quattroporte today!

Your Maserati GTS sounds amazing! It's incredibly fast, reaching 0-60 in less than 4 seconds and exceeding 200 mph three times. The design is stunning and it turns heads everywhere you go. It's great to hear that it's also comfortable on long trips, even without the massaging seats. You must be quite the racer, having beaten Corvettes, Mercedes, and Porsches. It's impressive that you've remained unbeaten at any speed. Safety is clearly a top priority for you, as you only race at the right time and never put anyone in jeopardy. The sound system is also exceptional, with Bowers and Wilkens. It's fantastic that your GTS has every option and was listed at over $175,000. Waiting a year to save over $100,000 was a smart move. It's clear that you've owned many classics and race cars, but the Maserati GTS is the best of both worlds. It's great to hear that you've had zero problems and are having fun with it!

I'm so glad to hear that you're enjoying your Quattroporte! It sounds like you've been able to put quite a few miles on it without any problems. I love the spacious interior and the quick acceleration too. While some other brands may offer more electronics, I personally don't use all of the features that my Quattroporte already has. And let's be honest, do you really need 20 speakers in a car? Thanks for sharing your positive experience with your Quattroporte!
