Interested in that will watch on the PC screen rather then phone and report back my expert opinions :cool:

They've obviously had a couple of days and invited all the motoring press. Top Gear, Autoexpress and Car have all posted vids.

Just spent a happy half hour watching them (WFH has some benefits) and the reaction is universally positive. Lots of comparison with Ferrari and McLaren but I think some of the comments are missing the point of Maserati - that they generally do sporty GT cars rather than out and out supercars.

Yes, a few have come out today…

Another good review. I like this chap as a reviewer as well…

But still no direct comparisons with other marques. Would love to see it in a detailed group test.

The Autocar one makes it clear that Maserati asked them not to do so at the moment but cars will be made available later in the year. They're all driving the same one so I suspect they were limited in time and it's the only one the Maserati UK has available.

Speaking of idiots, hopefully Schmee will get stuck inside one too....! ( I just watched his review of the mc20, and he really does talk alot of nonsense, dear me !)
Id love to see one up close and personal...
They cant agree about the either the brakes, or the steering, it seems...?

It was in the Sunday Times at the weekend. Very positive. Once he'd learned to engage the handbrake and open the doors.
So if the EPB fails you are locked in? Also I always park with EPB off if the brakes are wet - must remember to buy the spyder. It is as bad as BMW and Audis which won't reverse with the driver's door open...no fun in that.

What is wrong with normal door handles….Why make something more complicated than it needs to be. Still love it though…

He's just been a c**k, it's not too difficult if you read the manual first but then he wouldn't have anything to complain about.
It's good to have something unusual on a special car, it should be different to your daily driver in as many ways as possible as far as I'm concerned.
