Does it mean I’m in the wrong car if there are more cons than pros? (17 vs 9)
911 too small in the back and Panamera just too boring.

Dislikes:
- dropping into neutral before gearbox is warm (MC shift)
- Weight
- Parts prices/availability
- Fear of clutch wear (MC shift)
- Non-illuminated interior door handles when you turn engine off
- Parking sensors that go to constant beep from 1m
- Unreliability of Bluetooth phone pairing
- windscreen washer jets unreliable as seldom used
- Random airbag warnings
- Front end catching on inclines (front overhang)

Niggles:

- Windscreen wiper mechanism complexity
- Creaky glovebox
- Speed of comfort access seat movement
- Poor boot release cable design
- Wear characteristics of interior buttons (not sticky, just visibly worn)
- inability to have sport exhaust with skyhook on comfort
- lack of oil temp display

Like:
- Engine
- exhaust
- Styling
- Seats (2013+)
- Useable rear seats
- Every drive is theatre
- MC shift gearchange (over 5500rpm, 85% throttle)
- gear display with rev gauge
- Control when the back end moves around

Dropping into N when cold - have you had your PIS adjusted yet? https://www.sportsmaserati.com/index.php?threads/mc-shift-dropping-into-n-granturismo-sport.35558/

Random Airbag light - try cleaning or replacing your airbag on/off switch on the passenger side dash/door shut.

Not had PIS adjustment- too scared it will cause more serious errors. Gearbox only goes into N when it’s cold and I’m using a bit of torque. Once it’s at temp it’s perfect.

Also not got the balls to check contacts on the airbag switch for the same reason.

Definitely not working as intended. I suspect getting it looked at sooner will prevent further costs down the line.
