I ordered 2005 Maserati Quattroporte on December 2004, visited the factory in Modena end of April , and took delivery of my car in May 2005. It was the replacement to my brilliant E39 lemans blue BMW M5. It has 58000 miles and the original clutch on the robotic manual transmission. I added Larini exhaust , Xpipe , and lowered the adjustable suspension 1.25 inches rear and .75 inches front. Everything else is original. I only drive on manual sport setting and drive it as if it is a manual transmission by sensing the clutch engagement and using the throttle to smooth gear changes and avoid clutch slippage on uphill startup. It has been the most satisfying and engaging car ownership experience with no mechanical issues. I have refinished all the sticky parts . It is the best designed and timeless sedan ever with the best sounding, free reviving mid mounted engine with transaxle - 47% front, 53% rear weight distribution. It has an awesome handling balance no other sedan can match. I read all this nonsense from amateur US testers and reviewers who have no mechanical clue about how to appreciate a true analog robotic manual car and duel on Hate filled 1970s Italian car reliability reputation on a car very well engineered by the Ferrari engineers in early 2000s. My 2005 Maserati is an Epic car that I will keep all my life

I bought one of these new in 2006 in Canada and drove it daily for 2 years until I moved back to Europe. I loved it, great driver, no service issues at all. Maybe I was lucky, maybe it was ignorant bliss, but I loved it. Great car, so much nicer than modern Maseratis.

maserati quatroporte s with the zf transmission are relatively good, as long if you do the maintenance on it correctly i saw a lot of these with 200k kms on the clock ! if you scimp on maintenance it will not last that long i can assure you.

I have a 2005 Quattroporte, and I am very glad that they have depreciated so fast. That's the reason I can afford to buy and own one on Social Security. Recently, a "me monster" guy came up beside me at a stop light and revved his big diesel pickup truck with black smoke billowing out the back and claimed it was faster than my Maserati. Maybe so, but I rolled my window down and hollered back, "but it's still not a Maserati". I would bet that ALL of the negative comments replying to this KZread never owned one, and, obviously, never rode in one, and for sure never drove one. Even our young "everyday driver" had to admit the big smile on his face was due to how fantastic it feels to ride in the best sounding and best looking sedan in the world. It is a Ferrari sedan. You can't get that kind of performance and sound and the exotic Formula One "feel" of paddle shifting anywhere else. No one buys a Maserati, Ferrari, Bentley, hot rod, or muscle car for gas mileage. You guys need to go get an econo-box and leave the real driving to us. By the way, that new full size "luxury" econo-box is going to set you back at least $50,000. Yes, you get 35 mpg on the highway, BUT for under $20,000 you can drive a Maserati. How much gas can you buy for $30,000, and look what I get get to ride around in. All my friends with their expensive trucks and sedans want to ride in my "old" Quatrroporte, when we go out. No one asks them to rev their engine. I may not be as fast as some other big sedans, but why does everyone want to race me? Because I'm in a cool Maserati. I may not get "good" gas mileage, or be as fast, but, you know what, at least I'm driving a Maserati. What do you have to ride around in?

I can't argue with the sound, it's still one of the best sounding sedans money can buy, and surprisingly that wasn't mentioned in the video.

I bought a 2009 in exact same exterior color n Cuoia interior. I still hav it n it now just roll over to 42,000 miles. The engine still strong n sounds fantastic. SPORT mode changes everything n sounds WOW. I take impeccable care of it n always keep it in top condition. It’s going into its 12th year with me n every time i drive it i feel like the very first time we met. I added a blue tooth transmitter to the iphone 30-pin (ancient, i know) n now i play music from my iphone. Music hardware is outdated but that’s not the point. I’v changed the brakes twice n the Michelin tire S3 (S three) works well. I’v paid to get the interior (onion peel) leather repair/updated. I also found chemicals n wiped off (w/ great effort) the sticky button guck. I can afford other new cars but i’m keeping this one.

I have been waiting for this series to start. So excited for more.

Although I spent more than the price of the Maserati by about 4 grand, i think it’s a special car and went in expecting to spend $ to keep it up.

So good to see I'm not the only crazy petrolhead to buy something very old and very rare instead of something new and nowhere near as cool - or good. I'm just on a much lower level, though. In my case, it was a '95 Honda Accord SW, with a 130bhp 2.2-litre engine, four-speed automatic transmission, original stereo with cassette player... and it cost me less than a quarter of the cheapest car in the market. Parts were a bit expensive, but the car was simply SWEET! You guys encourage me to keep doing this kind of things!

Great blend of history and current perspective 👍. I agree that the car still looks awesome !

Do you still have it? How is the maintenance ? Also curious to see if the transmission is holding up ?

Most of my family live as an expat and we’ve bought used luxury vehicles as our dailies in 5 countries. 2012 Range Rover Sport used in Argentina, 2011 BMW X5 used in Thailand, 2014 BMW 535 X drive used in New Jersey. 2009 Audi Q7 3.6 in Toronto. 2013 Jaguar XF in Spain. Reliability has been at par with Japanese brands. We usually have japanese vehicles when we live in Asia as those vehicles tend to be cheaper and we buy European vehicles when we are abroad because the prices are nearly the same in the used market. The reliability is pretty much the same based on our experience. Love this video!

I must say that the dashboard was pretty lint free lol! Where did you guys take the QP5 to get washed in Vegas? Hopefully had the griots crew wash it as SEMA.

Holy terrible gas mileage! Your descriptions of the driving dynamics were great! I could almost feel the car myself.

"Let's buy Paul and Todd cheap unreliable import sedans so that they fall apart and it's hilarious." *Paul loves his Maserati* but seriously, it's a win either way and I'm glad you like it. Still think they are going to break spectacularly though. 😂😂

To be honest, I donated when the “pickle fork” was added mostly to see the look on Paul’s face . Got to say, the jokes on me because he’s growing to enjoy it so much. I do enjoy how much he is honestly discovering the good points of this Merlot Baller. Great job Paul.

2:38 Buick actually got the inspiration for the three fender vents from Maserati. U’d be surprised to know that in 1947 Maserati made the Maserati A6 1500, their first 'road car' which included three distinctive side vents. A full “two years” before side vents appeared on the 1949 Buick Roadmaster. When the Quattroporte debuted in the early 2000’s Buick hadn’t had a model with side/fender vents for decades. It was a little while later that they and the automotive aftermarket community caught on again.

beautiful car! makes sense to me to buy a highly depreciated car so that even if you to in the unlikely event put 20K into it it would still be a much classier, more comfortable car then the same priced camry. I bought a 2011 mbz ml350 for less then 20K 2 years ago because here in California toyota land, they depreciate fast. Now 2 years later only expense was gas and service. Much more enjoyable ride then a 25K rav.

I love Maseratis! Im always hesitant to buy one cuz it's an FCA Product. But always love looking at one.

A ten thousand dollar maserati ....is fascinating ...thanks guys

I just test drove that exact car in Northern Indiana that's listed for $10K. How horrible is the transmission in yours? It's historically so jerky i'ts funny to experience on a car that sold for $110K + new. I haven't pulled the trigger on it yet but really considering it since I make bad car buying decisions. Thanks for your input!

So how much is routine expense like an oil change. A tune up? Etc? For sale cheap warranty finished.

Maserati fixed the Transmission and the Nav/Stereo system in the 2009, the one I have. I also really like the red on yours, mine is black on black with black wheels.

Binnnggg!... enter gearbox malfunction warning chime!

It's a beauty. I hope you always enjoy it.

very interesting...possibly a Gran Turismo coupe next? The problems doesn't come from when these types of cars running, but when they decide not to run or do something simple they've done for a 1000 times and then all of a sudden one day decide not to do that simple thing. The issues arise when you have to replace said part that part that does the simple task that isn't so simple in its design or its location that seems nearly impossible to get to. So, in big lux cars, people don't want to deal with the issues when it comes time to "fix" things when they fail as the ordeal quickly turns into a "not worth the effort" or "more than the car is worth" proposition. Glad you are enjoying your Four-doors.

Okay, this can compete with James May's introduction film for the Top Gear.

Very interesting! thats the car you should buy, to get full perspective on all corners of car world, such a great looking interior. Its got pretty low mileage, I bet it runs well a long time, usually at least the mega $ cars get excellent service done. 5 previous owners, strange! keep up the good work.

I hav a 2009 QP Executive GT since new. It has been surprisingly reliable for about 46000 miles. Then the regular required maintenance kicked in. It's really normal repairs n nothing special; timing belt, suspension bushings, front connecting rod bushings, engine variator, cooling system replacements, engine mount replacements, O2 sensor, electric window motor replacements...nothing i haven't done on my Toyotas, Hondas, VW, Volvo, even BMW's. Problem is comparatively small volume in cars produced (comparing to Toyota, for example) thereby INCREASING owners' cost of repairs due to low economy of scale. Maserati (Ferrari) did not make MILLIONS of Quattroporte 4.7 but maybe about 20,000 of the M139 from 2007-2013. Only 20,000 cars with Ferrari sourced engine, suspension, exhaust, cooling system...there are just 20,000 of us shouldering all the costs & NOT the 3-5MILLION Camry, Accord owners all sharing the cost of their repair bills. I easily spent 1 entire new Camry/Accord in repairs when my Maserati hit 52k thru to now 56k miles. I love my Maserati QP 4.7 & it gives me such pleasure to know it runs perfectly in mechanical Zen n can be driven with such anonymity on the road...until i press the "SPORT" button n hit the throttle. 🎉😮🎉
