Maserati Spyder - Suitable for my mother?

[jimmyd123]

Hi, time for my mother to update, before I even suggest a Maserati I wanted to know if it would be suitable for pretty much all town driving? I'll take it for the occasional blast, but not that often. Obviously it's going to be a CC rather than GT.

I'm going to go and test drive one myself, but just wanted to know the opinions of people with real experience.

Cheers

Oh yeah, should ask how much running costs are too.

No the cambiocorsa does NOT like town driving/stop start driving.
It is tricky to drive smoothly slowly. It does not like reversing or hill starts. It takes weeks if not months to get used to.
My wife refuses point blank to drive mine........having said all that I love the CC!

Piece of piss in traffic, does take a few weeks to get used to but once you are used to it it is very smooth. Hill starts are easy, left foot on the brake no need for the handbrake. Reversing, umm put in reverse - car goes backwards!

Each to their own though!!

Thanks for the replys. Sounds as though it'll have to be tried out. Could you give me an idea of annual running costs please.
