1992 Maserati 222 SR review from UK and Ireland
"The worst car I have ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Problem with fan. Thus resulting in the car over-heating and now has a head gasket problem.
Central locking faulty.
Dashboard faulty- sometimes nothing lights up.
Problem with coil.
Problem with crankshaft sensor.
Seats starting to wear badly.
Wood starting to crack.
General comments?
I buy approximately six cars a year that fall in the classic or performance bracket, this is the first maserati I have owned and without doubt the worst car I have ever bought. My advice is spend a little more and buy an early Porsche if you want an every day car as reliability is excellent, or a cheaper model Ferari such as a Mondial if it is for occasional use. The only positive things I could say about the Maserati is the performance was quite good and the beautiful Cartier clock always worked.
