I am considering getting a 2+2 so that when I want to take more than one of my boys out I dont have to borrow my wifes car leaving her stranded at home as she refuses to drive the Tuscan. I am considering a 3200 or a Cerbera.

The Tuscan would spend the winter in the garage so this new car would have to sit on the drive. My Tuscan is prone to leaking which the dealer is going to sort out pretty soon so whatever car I get is going to have to be watertight. I was wondering if any of you 3200 owners have suffered with leaks.

Cheers

Paul

Hi Paul

No problem with mine. I keep it outside and it's always nice and dry. Warms up and demists very quickly too.

Nope.
The new ones are OK though.

My neighbour had a bad problem with leaks into his boot. He also had a few problems here and there, like the heater matrix and the ac. But all were resolved to his satisfaction except the leak. He ended up getting a very good trade in on the car because they couldn't resolve it. He got a 355 instead

I wasn't going to post this but it connects with Ninjas' post. The car I had for a weekend had some significant spots of rust on the bodywork, near the hinges of the bootlid. I queried why this was so on a new car, and was told that it was an early car that had been registered late. Also, when I in Modena watching them assemble the 4200, the car coming off the end of the production was receiving TLC in the shape of a rubber hammer to get the bootlid to seat properly. Might be worth keeping an eye on this area.
