2005 Maserati Spyder Consumer Reviews
Most Helpful Review
Positive Review
Beautiful Italy car made by Maserati and Ferrari. The coupe with F1 transmission and Ferrari F136 R 4.2 V8 engine are great combination of power and exotic handling. The engine is very reliable and handcrafted by Ferrari engineers with beautiful red valve covers. 60K miles not a single issue with the engine. I did 60K services on my own, with oil change, spark plugs, and drive belt. Parts are from Maserati but they are priced just like any other performance cars. The F1 gearbox is very reliable as long as you follow the maintenance requirements, that including changing clutch, flywheel, and F1 pump along with gearbox oil. The shifting is pretty good consider it is a single clutch racing gearbox. The interior is very Italian, you got leather everywhere and 15 years later, not a single tear or wear on the interior at all. The sport seats are beautiful and elegant.

A real head turner
Under estimated from day one! These cars are built too last. With under 43000 miles on the V8 engine I have never experienced a single problem. Its never failed too start and operate at 100%. It handles better than my Porche 911 or my Corvette. The interior is amazing comfortable and roomy for a 2 seat convertible. The factory exhaust dominates the street with a solid beasty sound. Excelleration is performance minded due to curb weight and is sure to satisfy. Will it really do 185 mph...Absolutely! Don't let the word Maserati lead you to believe these cars are expensive or a pain in the butt too work on or are unreliable. This is a "Gas and Go" vehicle that is reliable, and that turns heads everywhere it goes! Consider purchasing one today. You'll be glad you did!
