From what i hear SMG is more practical and easier to operate than the Maserati's system, which if you think about it is a little sad. Especially considering the postive comments made to Ferrari's F1 gearbox system, Maserati's sister company. Of course the Quattroporte is still an amazing vehicle.

Personally that why i like to stick to the normal automatic gearbox or the normal manual operated gearbox, but of course the Quattroporte isn't avaliable with either as far as i'm aware.

And i can understand your dads feelings about not using it everyday. When is he expecting delivery?
