    Hello Everyone!

    I recently had a chance to take some photo's now that the weather is better. Just got the car less than 2 weeks ago and I'm loving everything about it! It's just so lux in it's driving style compared to my other cars. IMO it IS the perfect mix of sportiness and luxury driving that everybody clamors about. Hope you enjoy!

    TY!

    Thanks for the compliments all!

    All I can say is, I love sport mode!! It absolutely wakes the car up and transforms it from a sleepy cruiser to an angry road munching beast! The difference between the two modes is staggering. In sport on this MC model, the suspension tightens, the exhaust baffles stay open, the electronic nannies are dialed back, and the E-throttle mapping completely changes up!
    The Maser as we all know is not a lightweight weighing in at 4100lbs, but in sport mode, I tend to not be able to feel the weight at all. The engine in combination with the tranny has enough power to throw the body around easily enough and "hide" the actual weight. That said, it does not have that go car feeling. Instead, I feel the car's solidity at all times. So far, it doesn't creak or rattle in any road conditions and to me that adds to the lux/solid feeling of the car, while at the same time providing just enough road feel through your hands and bottom - plus at the same time offering a level of performance to be a really competent car! All in all, I can't think of a better addition at this time for my needs!

    Yes I do, I shall post a few here once I find 'em!

    Again, Thanks all!

    Thanks for the "road test". It's really a stunning car. Good to know how you feel about the build quality.

    Let us know when you are thinking of selling it! :)
