As long as your commute/daily drive is not a lot of stop-and-go driving, the Maserati CC should be a fine choice. Anecdotally, it seems that the 2003's were the peak of quality, which kinda makes sense. 2002 was the re-introduction year, 2003 was an opportunity to address any open issues but still at low volume with a high "hands-on" factor from the engineering team. Any one else have a similar "gut feel"? I just haven't seen a lot of issues posted here from 2003 owners, but some from 2002 and lots from 2004-2007.
