I'm really sorry to have to let her go. But, needs must. She's just not big enough for my family any longer. I needed something with four doors and a boot. So, a Quattroporte is the obvious Maserati for the family.

Great to see you flying the flag still.....

Don't forget in that price that the car comes with a 12 month Warranty. I've just bought a warranty for the QP from Warrantywise. It cost me over £1500.

The 500 has only done 1300 miles so far. All of it in London traffic, other than the trip from Bournemouth to Barnet on the day that I picked it up. 95% of the time, I've driven her in eco mode - i.e. with the turbo disengaged - and it's averaging a shade under 40mpg.

That's pretty disappointing. But, I'm hoping as the car loosens up, that figure should rise. Having said that, it's the perfect London car. It can park almost anywhere, turns on a dime and is a light and airy place to be. In my opinion, it's the perfect city car. A real hoot too when the turbo's on.

Under 40 is not great, fiat say 55 in town, im getting 35 from the 1 series so i wanted to economise.....

Will look on the 500 forum see those that have loosened up a bit, i do want one.......

Thanks elliott and like i said, that 4200 is gorgeous.....lucky buyer!!

Dem, have a look at a VW Polo Bluemotion. Ryan had the Golf 1.6 TDi with DSG gearbox and that was averaging over 50 in mixed motoring so the Polo should be at least as good and is very well made.

 

[dem maser]

Will do, i thought about it aswel as the fabia greenline thanks.....

 

[TridentTested]

That's pretty disappointing.

Everyone I know who has driven the Twin Air say the claimed MPG figures are away with the fairies. However, they also say the car is an absolute corker to drive. I often rent a Hertz on Demand car club 1.2 500 and it is fun to drive. Fiat still know how to make characterful small cars.

Good luck with the sale Elliot, it looks beautiful.

She looks lovely Elliot..Can see why you didn't want to sell..but at least have a another stunner coming your way..

 

[Elliott653]

I am really looking forward to getting the QP on Sunday. But, the 4200 was my first Maserati. She's such a great car and she has made such an impression on me that I honestly can't see myself being without a Masser in my life for the foreseeable future.

I'm trying not to think of leaving her permanently with Nareman at Nuvola. That will be my final drive with her. She's been great to have in my life. But, life moves on.
