After a very frustrating month owning my SQ4 I sold it back to the dealer. My problems were the same as others on the boards. I figured as each day passes and I get more and more frustrated I'd just lose more money. I don't mind eating the depreciation as long as it's a fun ride.
The throttle delay is ridiculous. I came from a manual transmission CTS-V so I thought maybe it was due to the transmission being different. Wrong. There is NO way this car could ever be run on the track.
Brakes were EXTREMELY touchy. Exact opposite of the throttle.
Alarm would go off for no reason. Luckily it was doing nothing in my garage and not out in public. Oh wait, it did happen in public. Embarrassing.
About 3/4 of the time the initial start up was really loud and had a rattle that made it sound like a cheap import modified by the kid down the street. It actually scared my daughter once. Embarrassing.
About 1/2 the time when you'd open the driver's door and the windows would go down slightly for air pressure the passenger's window wouldn't go back up. As you'd go down the road you could hear the wind noise and then put the window up manually.
Things like the trunk lid being so flimsy and the doors being light aren't a huge deal but should be better than this on a $90K vehicle.
Handling was great. Styling was great and the GUI was very good.
I'm bummed this didn't work out. Came home with a 2014 CTS-V sport. Other than Cadillac's CUE system it excels in every department the Maserati was deficient.
