Maserati Spyder

The Maserati Spyder is a sporty two-seater designed to introduce buyers to the Maserati brand roadster style. The Spyder will face still competition in this sector but should be well up to the task. Maserati has based the Spyder on the 3200 GT Coupe, the car’s chassis has been shortened and is stiffer than the one found in the 3200 Coupe. The car sports a 4.2-litre V8 engine. The car comes with attractive leather trimmed seats. Despite the level of power on offer the car delivers a very refined in town ride. The car’s steering feels light and responsive. The car’s engine delivers 390bhp and delivers a top speed of 175mph. The car can reach 0-60mph in less than five seconds. The car provides excellent grip and precise steering, while the Spyder’s brakes and suspension help to enhance the ride even further. The car’s exterior design is very appealing and delivers a refined ride in most conditions; it will not be difficult for the Spyder to get buyers attention. The car delivers excellent passenger comfort even on longer journeys.

 Practicality

The Spyder is reasonably priced compared to competitors. Running costs and insurance will be high and the Spyder will also be an expensive company car. The car’s resale values are less than decent after three years. The Spyder is only a two seater but provides excellent passenger space. Even taller passengers should find head and legroom adequate. The car provides enough storage space for a couple of small bags or packages. The car’s controls and dials are beautifully designed. The switchgear is where you would expect it to be and is easy to use and functional. The car’s displays are also easy to read. The Spyder delivers a very comfortable ride. Passenger space is good and the seats are very comfortable even on longer journeys. The car handles well and most drivers and passengers will find the car delivers a thrilling ride. The car provides excellent accessibility. The car’s doors are wide and provide a large aperture for easy access. The seats do sit low and this may pose a problem for some passengers, but once inside passengers should have more than adequate room. The Spyder can be difficult to park due to the low seating position. Visibility is limited and care should be taken while reverse parking. The car maneuvers easily enough and large side mirrors make parking a much easier task.

 Life Style

The Spyder provides an excellent driving experience. The car offers plenty of power and good handling and delivers an overall enjoyable driving experience. The car is fast, yet the ride is refined. This isn’t a family car. Children will not fit well in the car’s seats, and since it is a two seater seats are limited. Cabin and boot space are limited as well and make it unsuitable to perform any family duties. It could be used as a fun second or third car to a family. The Gransport is definitely not a good first car. It is too expensive and would be impossible for a new driver to insure. There is too much power on hand for a novice driver and limited visibility can make parking tricky. Maserati has a great image when it comes to producing performance cars. Maserati’s tend to be fast and well built. The cabin boasts quality materials and has a great feel. The company should do very well with the Spyder.

 Security and Safety

The car’s basic security features include keyless entry, power locks and an engine immobilizer and a security alarm system. The Spyder is a very desirable vehicle and a comprehensive security kit is necessary. The car’s standard safety features include twin front airbags, ABS and twin rollover hoops. The car also comes with a traction control system and side airbags as well.

 The Finishing Touches

The car’s standard audio unit includes a factory system with AM/FM radio. The unit produces good sound quality with controls that are easy to operate and a display that is easy to read. The car comes standard with a leather steering-wheel and a favorite seating position memory feature. The car’s leather interior is very flattering and the car’s exterior design looks the best in blue.

Summary

 The Maserati Spyder offers a fun and exciting ride with excellent handling. The car offers plenty of space for comfort and provides enough power to accommodate most road conditions. The car offers versatile driving but more novice drivers should be wary of the car’s power. Overall the car offers good value for money considering the car’s performance and the quality of materials used inside and out.
