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

[CoolHands]

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.

I'd consider one. Probably wouldn't have been my first choice given the cost, but I wouldn't rule them out.

Good left field choice, IMHO. Classy, fairly discreet.

Fantastic looking cars with great performance.
What's the issue with that?

Exactly.

Why wouldn't he buy one?

I'm 33 and I'd have a Maserati

I'm 16 and I'd have a Maserati. After having a ride in one with sporting bears I am smitten. I could just waft the whole of Europe in one.

I'm 30, I would love a Maserati GT, make it Nero / Rosso please.

He's had that a while.

Had a 4200GT before IIRC.

I'm 35 and would have one in a instant. What's not to like FFS.

PS. I know it's a big car but look how tiny he looks in it. Jockey.

[D1bram]

Nice motor.

And I've briefly met Declan several times as he frequents a restaurant which I like, far from being a twazook (or however you described him), he's a pretty decent guy who is always pleasant which is different to many in his position when not on camera.

I'm 5 and I have a .... oh. no, no I don't.

Just seems like an old mans car to me (and I'm middle-aged for gods sake)

[cocopop]

Odd thread.

23 and would have a Gran Turismo over the equivalent Jag or Aston.

Old mans car? Seriously?

what so if you actually had the money, that is what you would choose over all others?

[falkster]

Great choice!! He could be a sheep and get something similar to other celebs.

This and the other thread about being too old for a supercar - both bizarre.

If he likes the car and it suits his needs, then so what? Why should he care what other people think?

Quite possibly, would certainly make the list anyway. Beautiful, sonorous, unusual, practical. it has a lot going for it TBH.

Mine would look like this though.



Silver doesn't do it justice IMO.

Makes even less sense though. Since when has Maserati been an "old mans" marque? Or does the OP think that anyone under 40 without kids should only be able to buy 2 seater convertibles?

[clarkmagpie]

I think they are one of the best looking cars in the world.
32 and would have one in an instant!
