Mine arrived at the dealership yesterday so should be on the road in a week or two

Lucky sod. What colour are you getting.?

White - almost same as launch car. Picking up next week.

Hey,

Did you pick the car up? I’m still getting fobbed off - worse dealer experience ever from a comms perspective.

What are your thoughts on it? Pics?

clarkson review in todays sunday times - he couldnt turn the engine off and couldnt find a way to open the door from the inside !

said the suspension was very bouncy in all settings as well

And he also said he's choose it over any other car of its type...

Odd post. Have you ordered one and considering cancelling your order?

Or did you just want to piss on peoples chips?

Pistonheads innit! "I can't afford one, but I'll piss on peoples chips and have an opinion about it based on what someone said"

Personally am desperate to order one, but have promised the Mrs I won't buy another car for the time being / until I've got somewhere to put one.

I always feel a Clarkson review was written before he even sits in the car! It’s a piece written for entertainment, not to base any opinion on. It’s a beautiful car and there’s nothing around the same price I’d want more than it - congrats to those that have ordered one.

His review of the merc sls amg was still one of the best I've ever read!

any photos ?

just seen a fabulous looking MC20 parked up on the street going up to Station Parade in Harrogate, lovely lightish metallic blue. Would have taken a photo but was driving!

Brother-in-law snapped this a couple of days ago in (I presume) Mayfair.

they look fantastic in person

The MC20 is one of those cars that looks great in pictures and even better in the flesh.

It’s getting a favourable review in an upcoming tv show:



Performance is not up there though for those who like the power lap time scoreboard:

the car you can just see looks to be the same colour as the one I saw this morning, really good looking car with a lot of road presence.

i was thinking about ordering one (i had a new grancabrio a few years ago) but interior trim fell off with alarming regularity so i sort of resolved never to get another maserati but i like the look of the MC20 hence why i was looking for reviews of them. i probably need to test drive it myself to be fair but i was planning to wait for the convertible or hybrid anyway.

not sure why everyone gets so pissy on here - i was just pointing out that clarkson reviewed it and 2 "issues" which i found quite funny.

Are you restricted to colours on configurator?

I get 6 colour options on the configurator

[footsoldier]

that's what I meant - are the 6 colours the only options or can you choose wider range from a wider range at dealers?

there's the convertible version as well as a rumoured scud version - a few are holding back for this

Bristol have a white one for sale

So I've had my car for two months now. Had niggles with parking sensor which meant it had to back to the dealer. They sent someone over from the factory as they are very keen to avoid any quality issues which is a good sign.

Overall it drives most like a GT car but feels much lighter. Its feels like a cross between the Guilia QF and an Alpine A110s. It gets the right sort of attention and the feedback from people at car events has been very positive. I've taken into central London and also a few laps on Silverstone GP so far

Positives - its stupidly quick and the engine makes a great sound in the car. Brilliant fun to drive in the various modes.

If I was being very critical I'd say the tyres are a weak point. The car is not set up at all for track and suffers from understeer. The wireless charger works when it feels like it and the remote access app has also failed and I can't get it to restart. Petrol tank is tiny and the boot is also very small so not a car for a Euro road trip with your wife!
