Plastic used is a la Ford Focus, wood doesn't feel supreme like it should. Actually the worst parts of the interior are the parts where wood meets the dash. There are some weird gaps and it feels loose. Everything that is made of plastic or wood feels loose from switches, air vents to center console. As the icing on the cake, third brake light dips in somehow and looks unleveled from outside.
But that is your typical Italian car. No matter if it's Fiat Panda, Quattroporte or F360 they are all built the same.
Absolutely no reason to buy this over S500, A8L hell yeah even Phaeton.
I was disappointed with the car but I didn't have any high expectations either

This is a car designed for DRIVERS not for pansy passengers in the drivers seat. This car has handling charactheristics that would match or supersede some sport cars. The cars you listed cannot come close to matching this car in a track.

I think it's beautiful and the spec is admirable, but European reviews in recent years of Maseratis have been lukeware, particularly with regard to build and material quality. That would be a deal-breaker for me.
