1986 Maserati Biturbo Spyder Convertible review from North America

I had to get a new steering rack, power steering pump and gearbox 1 year after car purchase (1989).

Brakes went out while driving a banker around a busy city (1993).

Had to replace rotors, calipers and pads, and I changed the lines for peace of mind (1995).

I had to replace one front headlight (1995).

The exhaust had to be replaced due to under ride at a parking deck ramp (2000).

Car would not go over 55 MPH, so I rebuilt the carb, cleaned all turbo and carb pipes, put all new gaskets on the carb plenum cover and corrected the problem (2003).

I have changed the oil, replaced air and oil filters every 3,000 miles. I have also had the turbos lubed and serviced by a local Maserati dealer, and they have kept up.

I have experienced no electrical problems yet (2008).

All power windows work, lights, warning lights, buzzers, etc. Everything works (2008).

My 1986 Maserati Bi-turbo Convertible has been a great car, and it runs great and is very fast. I enjoy the car, and it gets a lot of attention.

Car runs great! Turbos have kept up and work 100%. The car has 33,869 babied miles.

My 1986 Maserati Bi-turbo Convertible (bought with 600 miles in 1989) has been a fantastic car and it runs great and is very fast. I enjoy the car and it gets a lot of attention. (1989-2008)

However, the cabin is small and is only comfortable when the top in down. It is cramped, and there are no backseats and it has very limited storage and a small trunk.

Also, the handling is quirky and unstable. The car is quick, however it does not handle well in my opinion.

The car has 33,869 miles.
