Maserati
Maserati is from Italy and builds cars which ooze style and sophistication. Built for comfort, rather than speed – although the firm's cars get faster and faster – all of the Maserati range can cover long distances with no fuss.

Maserati Quattroporte
The Quattroporte is Maserati’s answer to the Mercedes S-Class and Porsche Panamera. Quattroporte means four doors in Italian, and there are few sports saloons on sale today that can match the Maserati’s unique looks outside or in. The cabin feature plush wood and expensive leather, but doesn’t pack the same amount of hi-tech gadgets as you get with an S-Class. The drive is impressive though, especially if you can stretch to the 4.7-litre V8 engine rather than the 4.2-litre version. Both engines sound fantastic though. The proper automatic gearbox is better than the automated manual.

Maserati GranTurismo
The Maserati GranTurismo is a stunning coupe that can just about seat four adults inside its stylish interior. As you’d expect for a car at this price, the GranTurismo comes with all the equipment and luxuries you could wish for, although as the boot is small, it’s worth getting the tailored luggage to maximise the available space. As with the Quattroporte, the 4.7-litre V8, as fitted to the GranTurismo S, offers a welcome burst of extra power. Although the GranTurismo is more of a cruiser, it handles very well with nice, sharp steering. Keen drivers should try the more hardcore MC Stradale version which sacrifices some comforts for more power and an even sharper drive.

Maserati GranCabrio
Although the Maserati GranCabrio looks just like a GranTurismo with no roof, the firm refers to its stylish convertible as a model in its own right. The interior is stunning, and can be customised with a host of high quality leather and trim materials, while there are few convertibles at any price that match the GranCabrio’s looks with the top down. Just like the GranTurismo, the GranCabrio suffers from a tiny boot and it isn’t the sharpest model to drive thanks to the loss of flexibility cause by loosing the roof. However, there are very few ways to look quite so stylish on the road.
