Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- Distinctive Italian flair and design, sharp steering and handling, relative exclusivity.
Cons
- Stiff ride, underpowered compared to some rivals, lacks the latest techno-gadgets.
What’s new
The Maserati Quattroporte is an all-new luxury sedan featuring stylish bodywork, a Ferrari-derived V8 engine and a high level of customizable options.
Edmunds says
Though by no means a complete package, the Maserati Quattroporte is a welcome alternative to more common sporting luxury sedans.

Looks Good But Hunk Of Junk

2005 Maserati Quattroporte 4dr Sedan (4.2L 8cyl 6AM)
This car is strictly "looks only", it is not reliable or even close to it.
I have already sank $13,760 in repairs at only 23K miles.
This is totally unacceptable for a $140K car when new.
I am taking it to the auction next week to "unload" before it can empty my wallet again.
But if you want a sharp car that sits good in the driveway - this is it!
Just don't drive it anywhere!!

2005 Maserati Quattroporte 4dr Sedan (4.2L 8cyl 6AM)
I may be the only person in the US to own two Maserati Quattroportes. My first had multiple problems that included sensors, transmission and finally the main computer; all in the first three months of ownership. OK, anything is possible with a new model, right? Maserati of NA gave me a new one and I had the transmission re-built (clutch and throw-out bearing) same as the first. The … dealer bent over backward to help. Corporate gave me a song and dance about wanting to study my car and then sold it without disclosing the problems. Beware, the "clutch is a wear item", 2500 to replace (they did mine free due to 3k miles) and , "good for 20k mi" (srvce mgr). Not disclosed.
Worst Quality EVER

2005 Maserati Quattroporte 4dr Sedan (4.2L 8cyl 6AM)
Bought with 9,000 miles and 12 months left on warranty. More time with Ferrari/Maserati Houston than driving. Throw-out bearing/seals warranty replaced but clutch plate not covered ($1000 part). Software problems=failed plugs ($1000). Failure both fuel pumps ($3,500). Door mechanism failure, plus numerous trips to get transmission software upgrades. Car has total 15,000 miles on … odometer. Even the most trivial parts are special order from Italy. I will NEVER buy an Italian car again.
How to buy a Maserati

2005 Maserati Quattroporte 4dr Sedan (4.2L 8cyl 6AM)
Just bought a 2005 Maserati. One of the best cars ever! Styling is amazing! Drives like a dream. So many people say bad things about this car and they may very well be true. However, buy a low mileage older car where the kinks are already worked out and you get a Ferrari for the price of a Ford. Will it cost more to maintain? Sure. But the driving experience is worth every penny! Mine … has 38K miles and there are a few idiosyncrasies but I wouldn't trade it for anything. Say what you will but I will be smiling from ear to ear as I pass your BMW, Mercedes, Audi, or whatever. If you are wanting a true enthusiast's car that looks as good as it drives, this is it!
