Quattroporte Info
Hi all,
I'm looking into the Quattroporte - 2006 seems like the MY i could go for in my price range if i go for one.
What should i look for in regards to problems?
What options are worth having etc?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Make sure you get the Sport GT, I absolutely love the quattroporte even if its a very delicate car and a buddy of mine had has silly problems such as the TCU needed changing, glovebox not opening and door handles buttons not working "electronic".
I tried both the Auto and the Semi-auto, I like the semi auto more for some reason.

Josh, the clutch is the biggest problem that I know of on those. My understanding is that you can't baby it - well you can, but it's actually harder on the clutch - the best clutch we see out of our customers is a guy who beats the hell out of it. For drivability/reliability I would step up to an 07+ with the ZF automatic if you can swing it.
