    Granturismo excess mileage cost

    My annual mileage is normally about 8000 which already seems to be at the top end of normal use, but recently I've been doing over 400 miles per week due to working in Manchester. The cheaper option is for me to use the Mito or Ranger but I prefer to use the GT as it's made for the winding A...

    Bose audiopilot microphone location

    Does anyone know the precise location of the microphone? According to the manual it's on the dash near the instrument cluster. I've been doing quite a few long motorway journeys recently with another 3 hours sat on the M6 this morning. This is the time I want to listen to music but get...

    No service history - what is the loss of value?

    Nothing to do with Maserati but I value your opinions. I went to see a Morgan Aeromax which was for sale at a price that reflected its low milage and an assumed full service history. These cars have a BMW v8 engine as in the old M3. However, as I was looking at the finer detail of the car, my...

    Button under wing mirror

    While checking the door seals I noticed a button under the drivers wing mirror. I can't find reference to it in the manual so does anyone know what it is?

    Wind noise passenger side Granturismo

    When driving on a windy day and with a cross wind, I'm getting a loud wind noise coming from the area of the passenger wing mirror or air vents - I can't pinpoint the source any better than that. It sounds like the window is open except it isn't. The odd thing is it never happens on the drivers...

    Is it just me?

    Prior to owning a Granturismo MC Shift, on the rare occasion that I'd see a Maserati I would stop and watch it drive past and listen to the exhaust. I've now owned one since July and the same thing happens! Maybe it's because I live in a rural area where the most common thing on the roads is a...

    GTS Steaming up and aircon compressor making noise

    I've got two issues with my GTS which are probably related: The aircon compressor is making a rapid knocking noise loud enough to hear it above the exhaust when idling. I'll have to take it to the dealer to look at this. The other problem is that the car is steaming up. I agree that if the...

    Problem connecting Android phone to GTS USB

    My HTC Android phone needed charging so plugged it into the USB socket. The car audio/nav screen turned itself off, on, displayed a very faint Maserati logo, displayed only half of a faint Maserati logo, turned off again and repeated the cycle for several times with each stage lasting about a...

    Which Petrol?

    My previous car, like the GTS, stated that 95 RON petrol minimum should be used but I found that I got 15-20% better fuel consumption using premium such as Shell V-Power which made the extra cost worth it. I'm not looking to get the maximum power, just the best consumption. Has anyone done any...

    GTS Battery drain solution?

    As a new owner of a 2012 GTS, I've read all the comments about battery drain and I'm wondering if I should really be worried or whether it's one of these things blown out of proportion by the internet. I will occasionally be leaving the car in the airport carpark for 1 or 2 weeks so the question...
