Maserati Gran Cabrio
It is considered a full four-seater convertible with soft top. Its wheelbase is almost 3 meters, resulting in only minimal overhangs front and rear. Despite the above-average length of almost 4.9 meters there is little space for
luggage storage left. The car is at this size heavier than the competition of BMW and Jaguar. Breathtaking the consumption of 22,5 liters/100km in the city (according to the manufactorer).
Somehow, such a Maserati is almost always quite noisy, if you meet one. It's a decision of the driver or it is up to the two flaps in the exhaust sound. May be it's more noticeable than a Ferrari with a corresponding engine, the
one, however, even more rarely to be seen. The MC version (6,000 € more) with slightly enhanced performance and steering wheel controls incl. paddles was introduced at Paris Motor Show 2012.
So this car is quite heavy and somewhat unsporting. Its steering is perceived as a little bit too smoth. Additionally in the face of high consumption cruising is better than speeding. That may even be better for less noise
development of the Ferrari engine. And the for a convertible bulky rear seat bench can be used as a much-needed additional luggage space. The lovely design by Pininfarina one enjoys sitting inside, otherwise only again
when leaving. 12/15
