The interior is sumptuously appointed with leather everywhere, electric adjustment for everything and premium audio equipment. The seats offer great comfort for four and the boot is spacious, the expensive, optional tailored luggage maximising its luxury grand touring credentials. With a version of the 4.2-litre engine from the Coupe and Spyder under the bonnet performance certainly isn't lacking, but the standard fitment of the paddle-shift transmission is rather at odds with its luxury pretensions. It's fussy and hampers refinement. It's a similar story with the suspension, it's rather crashy, but otherwise there's a great deal to like about Maserati's striking big saloon.
