Summary

Recommended. Maserati are finally back as a credible manufacturer of GT cars. Slightly uneven abilities, but huge character.

Review

Maserati's first competitive roadster since the 1960's. Forget the turbocharged, unreliable horrors of the 1980s and 90s, this is like a more affordable Ferrari. Indeed, the engine is based on a Ferrari design and is a superb unit. Ride and handling still not the best in the class and the driving position is a little strange. However this is a Maserati you don't need to make excuses for: performance is thrilling, the styling is superb and it is unlikely to let you down. Understated image is also a bonus - it is a lot less obvious than a Porsche or Mercedes SL.
