2008 Maserati Quattroporte (continued)
|
|
|
Summary
The Maserati Quattroporte Automatica is an exceptional luxury sports sedan, totally and beautifully Italian in its character. Its 400-horsepower, high-revving V8 is a sweet and sensual engine, feeling different than the BMW, Mercedes or Jaguar. The car's cornering is precise and satisfying, thanks largely to its 51/49 balance, and the six-speed manual automatic transmission with paddle shifters obeys the driver.
NewCarTestDrive.com correspondent Sam Moses filed this report from the Columbia River Valley.
