Would you buy a Maserati if you were single & aged 36?

Declan Donnelly (tv twazzock) has just bought one for himself, but I'm thinking it's a bit of an old man's car ain't it? I mean if I was 55 and married or something, then maybe. But 36? Should be in a sports car if you ask me.

Fantastic looking cars with one of the best exhaust notes you will find. And the Gran Cabrio is the best looking car on the roads.

This thread should be renamed "massive misconceptions of vehicle age image"

I'm not sure I've ever considered Maserati an "old man" car.

Have you heard just how good they sound. Would be wasted on a deaf oap

[bazking69]

I would. But then I'd look good in one. Unlike Mr Dec...

I guess that image is there because typically you need to be old to be at a point to afford such a car?

Sports car is such a useless term, it means nothing. It's a fast, 2 door coupe - what's wrong?

If it;s good enough for Balotelli, then it's good enough for me!

and he's 21!

I'd like a Shamal rather than one of the big new curvy ones ....or a Karif perhaps

I'm 36 and would have one in a heartbeat if I had the cash. They're depreciating pretty fast as well, not long now before they fall into my budget......

A Granturismo S is the first car i would buy if i won the lotto, been in a Granturismo S and 2 Gransport's, neither of them are an "old mans" car.

I'm 22 and it's on 'the list'!

[V8Triumph]

Whats age and marital status got to do with buying cars? :s

'm 23 and wouldn't buy one because I'd have other things instead, hmmm, E-type Jaguar and a Series 1 XJ12

[anonymous-user]

If I had the money this is the first car I would go out and buy!

[Hasbeen]

Well I'm over 70, so I guess I should have two.

I thought about a Morgan, then bought a Honda S2000.

If I hadn't spent so much on my mid life crisis, I may just have had enough left able to spring for one of those to treat my old age crisis. I sure would like to.

Beautiful cars, the noise, the road presence and heritage etc...What the hell makes that an old mans car???

It's a class act if you ask me.

[theironduke]

I'm 26 and if I had the pennies I would buy a 3200 in a heartbeat. Utterly beautiful cars.

19, top of the list.
