1986 Maserati Biturbo Spyder review from Italy

"A fast moving wedge sculpture in the best Italian tradition"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Replaced the steering rack.

Changed the fuel filter.

Bouncing speedo needle.

Fan relay switch replaced.

Fuse box replaced.

Front struts replaced.

General comments?

I think that this is one of the most exiting, passionate and powerful cars I've ever driven!

Although this car has gremlins of a sort, I'm still not convinced that this is a "problem car". I say this because a lot of the repairs I listed can be done by anyone who is half way mechanically inclined (except maybe changing the timing belt and other highly technical adventures). I must admit that the best way to enjoy these bahn stormers is to stay under the hood looking for preventive maintenance tasks (such as making sure the hoses are new and keeping fluids filled).

I like the Biturbo series so much that I will purchase another one (perhaps a 4-door coupe) as soon as I locate one that has a respectable service history.

Lastly, in terms of looks, I feel like a celebrity in this car because of all the attention it garners. If you don't like to be winked at, envied, gawked at, admired or challenged by every boy racer this side of speed demon then don't own this beautiful Italian exotic!
