You’re so “not envious” that you took the time out of your day to tell me so, and to wish me good luck. How kind. Altruism never fails to impress me with its coat of many colors.

Once a week is not enough, IMO. Car was a corporate lease before I purchased it, so I knew little except service records about previous treatment. Variator issues come on gradually. I may never be out of the woods on this. So far, so good. I’m neither superstitious nor hysterical.

Grow up, sonny, and hike up those drawers. Your envy is on display. In 14 months, I have never exceeded appropriate speed in parking lots, nor have I ever disengaged the MSP traction and stability control.

I’m a bit confused because one of us is not clear. You have seat time in a 2006, which has the CambioCorsa, but seem to be commenting on the ZF, which is so amazing as to be hooked to the driver’s brain via implants.

The comment I’ve been fishing for.

Nothing beats personal ownership experience, especially considering that naysayers’ comments often have a greenish tinge...

Reading the QP forums (actually, “fora”, to be correct—it’s Latin neuter gender, plural form ends in “a”) tells me that Maser still has Monday and Friday cars with their share of glitches. If you’re the type of Maserati owner who thinks it’s an Eyetalian Buick and takes it into the dealer for Floor Mat Reviews, you…

How long has THAT one been in your “memes” folder?

I prefer the sedan for its understated design and interior space. It’s personal taste, really. They both have the same great-sounding engines!

I know the tech personally. He worships the QP. It preens in response. I bring my own Maserati OEM filter. The oil used is Castrol Synthetic of an appropriate weight for the season. I change it every 5K miles. The car runs better every week, and I drive it 1K per month, though I am retired.

Of course, I knew that would rile a certain contingent of readers, but it’s true nonetheless. My JiffyLube does a fine job on my other cars, and the tech—not named “Cletus”, incidentally—is respectful and very cautious. The factory recommends oil changes once a year or every 12K, and the dealer uses that annual as an…

Actually closer to a Maxima. The designer of the Hyundai ewas going for Kim Chee Bentley, can’t you see?

Nonsense. And, you need to learn to spell “Ferrari” if you’re gonna bloviate.

Read the article!

I can just predict that the naysaying parrots will come out in force, and the only thing that’ll get their ductless glands secreting, is the so-called 430 powerplant.

Crazy rare Mitsu >>> McMansion? With a beige something in the driveway?

Eyes. I say it’s the eyes.

How Weide was he, though?

I must be somewhere in the middle ground, having graduated (?) from obsessively waxing my black ‘57 Chevy Nomad, sometimes twice or thrice a week.
