Overview

2011 Maserati Quattroporte

The 2011 Maserati Quattroporte presents a compelling blend of exotic styling and potent V8 performance for the discerning used car buyer. This rear-wheel-drive sedan, powered by a 4.7-liter V8 engine and a 6-speed automatic transmission, delivers a luxurious experience. Its EPA-estimated 14 MPG combined fuel economy reflects its performance-oriented nature. While official safety ratings are unavailable, the absence of recalls and complaints suggests a stable history, though this is tempered by a limited reliability assessment confidence.

Aging rubber hoses and plastic components in the cooling system can degrade over time, leading to leaks. This is a common issue on many luxury vehicles of this age.

Early detection can help you avoid a $500-$1,500 repair.
