1987 Maserati Biturbo Si 2.5 injected from Switzerland
Summary:
A rarity, but a BMW is much much better
Faults:
Everything. It would have been quicker to say what has not been replaced. Here is a small sample:
Electrical -
1. Wiring faults galore! Tail lights usually only half working due to the fact that the wiring is only covered by the trunk carpet.
2. Alternator packed it in three times.
3. Headlight adjust (on European cars) died.
4. Rear defrost stopped working.
5. LED clock resets itself usually once a month.
6. Fuel gauge needle bounces when tank full.
7. Fuel pump died and makes lots of noise when running.
8. Highest wiper speed is much too slow.
9. Ignition system died and left me stranded (again).
10. Cooling fans stopped working (in summer of course).
Mechanical -
1. Transmission bearings had to be replaced.
2. Wheel bearings constantly being replaced.
3. Power steering rack replaced.
4. Brake rotors had to be returned.
5. Starter motor replaced which required engine removal.
6. Rear oil seal on transmission replaced three times in three months.
7. Power windows stuck and the drive had to be replaced.
8. Gas struts to support engine hood and trunk lid replaced.
9. Aluminum air conditioner tube rubbed on chassis and leaked.
10. Defroster position not selectable due to vacuum system design.
11. The fuel injected engine is much more reliable than the "carbed" ones, but it should have a water filter with warning light.
12. Camshafts had to be replaced because Maserati put a .7mm restrictor in each head to ensure oil starvation problems.
Interior -
1. Headliner sagged so much it rested on my head.
2. The curved layout of the instrument lights are exactly the same as the steering wheel thus ensuring maximum blocking potential.
3. Button illumination is so dim they can't be read at night.
4. Rubber weatherstripping around the doors and windows have shrunk in length.
Body -
1. Sharp corners are a haven for rust which abounds on this car. Keep a wax coating on everything!
2. To protect the car add extra plastic wheel arch spray shields. You will have to make them yourself, but well worth it. It prevents water and salt attacking the chassis.
That's just the highlights.
General Comments:
A very unreliable car. Don't make this your only car unless you have a bus pass. I was stranded in Germany when the alternator blew and had no auto club membership, now I do. Don't even think about driving in the snow, the differential can spin you around in a second and the traction is marginal at best.
The Si is my third Biturbo. The other two either blew an engine (water in oil), blew the turbos, or had simply so many problems I had to put it down. I call my garage "my bank" since I usually pay about $5,000 per year just to keep the car running.
After all this you will ask why do I have a Biturbo? Easy, the car is unusual and not everyone has it. This will be my last Maserati. If you want a much better car get a BMW.

Summary:
Research your options before investing in this car
Faults:
Within 1 week of purchasing the Saturn LW300, we had to bring the car in for a front wind shield replacement. There were "air holes" or bubbles in the glass. This was not noticed by Saturn before shipping the vehicle to the dealer.
At 5000 miles the leather cover over the hand brake started unhooking from the base, exposing wiring. I have taken the car in several times to have this part repaired or replaced and with a matter of days, it breaks again.
9500 miles: One night while driving my Saturn, my dashboard lights and rear lights suddenly went out. I took the car in for repair; the dealer said it was a fuse.
At 14000 miles my air conditioning went out, while we were on vacation in Arizona. I contacted Saturn and they told me to take it to the nearest dealer. However, the dealer in the area could not fit us in for another 4 days. We had no choice, but to drive our Saturn home without air conditioning, in the middle of summer!
At 20000 miles, my rear lights went out again. I took it back for another fuse replacement.
At 22000 miles, my car would not start. I was parked on an incline with the nose of the car pointed up. The car was trying to turn over and was showing my gas tank was empty. I decided to roll the car back to a level surface. After doing this, the gas gage read 1/4 of a tank, then the car started.
At 24000 miles my rear lights went out for a third time. Saturn finally discovered the "real" problem and had to replace the light system completely.
At 27700 my car was once again parked on an incline. The car would not start on the 1/4 tank of gas. I rolled the car back to a level surface, then it started. I took the car into Saturn for this problem yesterday and they said that they could find nothing wrong. They stated that it was most likely because of the gas tank design. The Saturn representative actually told me "Well, then don't let the gas gage get below a quarter of a tank..." We all know that this is not practical or feasible for most busy families.
General Comments:
I thoroughly researched this car and Saturn in general, before making my vehicle purchase. We paid $28,000 for this car in 2002. We opted for the leather seats, alloy wheels and the DVD system. This car has not been a good investment for us. We will never purchase another Saturn and are currently exploring our options under our states lemon law.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No
