It just shows you the negativity that sometimes comes on this site. I drive mine every day with no issues. But I'm glad to hear you have none either. It makes the drive more fun anyway.

It's raining where I am, but decided not to drive it this weekend and donate the gas I would have used to the Redcross for Harvey relief. I agree this forum will make you think our cars suck. I was on a Porsche forum and never got this much negativity. I was also on a Maserati forum and those are the worse cars in the world in my opinion, but the owners were not as negative as this forum can get. Glad yours started today. I think I'll go out to the garage and see if mine will start too!

^^^ It's interesting you say that.....
I LOVE Maserati's....the exhaust note is outstanding. But I have a buddy who had a Gran Turismo. He said he loved the car but hated the electronics.
I considered getting one while I was also considering the Corvette too. Porsche owners......meh.

Amazing! My 3 month old A8(non-manual) 17, ZO6 1lz, coupe, started!! Go figure!!!
I loved my Maserati for the first 6 months. That great exhaust note, well the muffler shock its self loose, the electronics are from 2005, the hissing noise from the motor cause much concern. The $450 oil change made me change
my mind. Traded for a 2015 Mustang Gt(every option) and a 2015 Jeep srt. Never once looked back. I've been buying American cars lately, we also own a 2015 Jeep Wrangler. After years of Lexus, Porsches, and one Maserati Granturismo. We love American cars. Although, we do own a 2016 hyundai Veloster Rally edition(for the gas mileage). This probably won't be my last vette. Hate to admit it but I can't wait till January for the Detroit Auto Show for the unveiling if the Mid-engine vette. Just keeping my options open at this point.

The problems we see are because the cars of today are simply very complex. So many complex systems mashed together in a little fiberglass box dependent on each other to make everything happen at the right time it's really amazing how good it really works when you think about it.

I think the Maserati GT are sexy as hell. And the sound is awesome! Before I bought my Stingray, I considered the Jaguar F-Type, Porsche Cayman S and the Maserati GT.
Corvette won out!
And hey, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the ZR1 will possibly make it's debut at the LA Auto Show in November......

My 2017 Z06 VERT also starts every time I use it and it is flawless! I did have to get a oil change at 500 miles is that a negative?

In general, all car forums I've been to (4-5) are pretty negative. It's the nature of the beast.
In 2012 I was thinking of getting a Grand Cherokee & went to one of their forums for a couple months first to see what people were saying about them. Based on what I was reading with all the problems, I was thinking no way in hell am I getting one. And that was after taking a demo home overnight & REALLY liking it. But after thinking it over & looking at the big picture realistically, I decided to pull the trigger on one. And glad I did. I had over 4 years & 50,000 mile w/o 1 single issue, until recently trading it in on a '17 model.

I don't have a GS but my Stingray has performed well for almost 4 years. I just replaced the battery because I wanted to.

I'd better go check mine, its almost..too quiet
We get this a lot in the IT business. I'm sure its the same for Doctors or any other service. Nobody calls you up to tell you that nothing is going wrong, so you tend to think people only talk to you to complain
