if youre tall

...we all know the pros- stylish, great sound, exotic, head turner etc...
however, im 6'3 230 and its too tight in the driver seat.
my legs feel like they are held too close together and i need the seat to extend further back. cant keep it, but the grand turismo fits much better...

absolutely suprising!!!
Source: Edmunds

...I've owned 6 bentleys, somewhere around 30 Mercedes, bmws, audis, jags, & even a jensen intercepter, but I've never been as surprisingly pleased as I am with my new Maserati quattroporte s!
Incredibly quick, quiet, smooth, & gorgeous! Only two minor complaints:1-the lane change lever is too far from the steering wheel and behind too large paddle shifters.
2-accelerator & brake are too close together. We haven't been able to activate my bluetooth phone and I'm 90 miles from the dealer so we're dealing by phone!...

Exciting Maserati QP for 2009.
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: Luxury in a sports car daily drive New Transmission Great Engine Style Interior Fit and Finish Cons: Absolutely nothing Overall: The 2009 QP is a joy to drive.
More like my 2005 Porsche 4sc than my wife's Lexus LS460.
The QP has style, performance, luxury in a four door sedan.
Exciting exhaust sound, engine sound, road hugging suspension.
I have spent 3000 fun filled miles in this car and it is now my daily drive. Can't think of anything else for a description except "awsome, way to go Maserati"...

#5
The Perfect Car

...Pros: Awesome car that undercuts its competitors. Cons: None whatsoever. Overall: It is a great car. I don't own one, but I have seen it once...

Why should I also consider these?

For now, the Quattroporte holds the market captive; the Mercedes S63 AMG is perhaps the closest match to the Maserati in performance and spirit (it outdoes the Maserati for acceleration), but it feels much heavier, doesn't handle as well, and doesn't have that unmistakable Ferrari sound.

And it looks too close to lesser S-Class models.

The Bentley Flying Spur is a close match from another direction; it's very exclusive, like the QP, but it's more of the strong-and-silent type.

For high-speed highway storming, it's our choice over the Maserati, though.

A more affordable alternative is the all-wheel-drive Audi S8, which won't exactly stand out at the most exclusive events but has very satisfying performance from a Lamborghini-derived V-10 engine.

Next year the Quattroporte will have some heavy competition, in the way of the 2010 Aston Martin Rapide.

The Rapide will be perhaps the closest rival to the Quattroporte but packs the DB9's 5.9-liter V-12 engine, rated at around 500 hp.

And that's even before considering the heat from the 2010 Porsche Panamera!
