This has been my dream car since it came out. I had the chance to rent one quite cheaply in Dubai last year. The interior was pretty beat up and not all buttons were working, but it didn't matter for one second. Putting the roof down and turning that engine on makes you forget all the flaws. It is simply an amazing feeling to drive it.

Great honest reviews on QP’s and GT’s. I’m very fortunate to have a trouble free Granturismo Sport (past 5 years) and a MC20 in the same stable. I just couldn’t let the GTS go (more sensible thing to do) as I couldn’t replace the Singing Sirens and the 4 seat practicality. The MC20 is stunning to look at, and stunningly fast (but all too quiet) and a bit like girlfriends! The younger MC20 is hot as hell but the more voluptuous GTS is willing to do things the MC20 just can’t compete with 😅 I expect the new V6 or Electric GTS will cause some to relook at the V8

I have S with MC Shift and love how theatrical it is at low speeds and even low throttle. I have not driven anything else like that. To get drama and nice noise from other performance cars you have to push them and it leads to aggressive driving. This one is trully special in this sense. There are better sounding cars. But there are none beating this one under calm driving enjoyment....well maybe there is one Alfa 8C spider....And always I sit in and drive its just about The engine and The gearbox everything else is just forgotten

bought my 2018 gt sport (just over 18k miles) end of July while on vacation in Florida. White on the exterior and the interior is black with the red stitching (same that I had on the ghibli I just got rid of as I needed to make space for the gt). If you can afford to buy the car and know you won’t regret it just do it man. I turned 24 in July and worked my ass off for the last 3 years to have paid for it in cash so i wouldn’t have to stress over anything. Something I learned overtime as I’ve gotten older is that money will come and go. Time never comes back. If you can afford it treat yourself, don’t live with regrets. Do what makes you happy before you’re too old to enjoy it. It sounds corny but it’s true. Not sure if this helped you at all but I hope it did. If you have any questions feel free to ask and I’ll answer to the best of my abilities :)

Absolute gem of a vehicle. Truly dual personalities - best driven at 7/10ths. The length made it predictable in the wet. Miss mine dearly- in the US insurance rates are astronomical for these. Removed the X-pipe for a deeper rumble when in sport mode. Could have used just a wee-bit more power given it was an automatic (if manual offered would have been plenty though). Most interesting north of 3000rpm. The leather smell is intoxicating. Infotainment and electronics were completely ignored because of the driving pleasure. Not as composed or shuttle like as an M8/S63 Coupe, lacked the execution of interior of Aston and Bentley, missed the raciness of a Ferrari, but she was a naughty 🇮🇹 and was forgiven for all of her “flaws” (character) while driven at 5000rpm PS - it eats tires 😂😂

The brand gets a lot of flack understandably so but if you understand what you're buying, have a solid line to parts (Alpine performance here is the best and the cheapest) mechanic with common sense and enough of a budget to own a mid to upper level BMW, you'll be fine and have a lot of fun.

I'm hoping you were lucky because I've read dozens of horror stories and it worries me. I wouldn't make it a daily driver though. It would be a sweet weekend car to take into the hills for the day. I'm interested in getting a used one in the near future after I get myself a good-paying full time job.

@@P.W.R. Hey. I’ve heard the same from other owners but I’ve been very lucky. The only issue I had early on was my car went into limp mode and needed towing however it was only a filter. The dealer said it was likely lack of use, they don’t like not being driven. This was just after I bought it I think 2 years old and only 5k miles. Since then and I’ll talk specialists rather than main dealer because dealers = deep pockets. Service every 2 years for most people, standard £800 major £1200 which isn’t bad. Anything extra you need that’s where you must be careful not to over stretch yourself. F1 clutch 2-3k, I didn’t want that. Tires are not cheap, discs and pads all round 2-3k, way way more from dealer. Your local garage won’t be able to order a service kit from Maserati but there are places….. Read up on variator issues. Maserati confirmed it doesn’t affect the engine but it’s shameful if you go to start your amazing V8 in front of a crowd and it sounds like a skeleton having a wank in a biscuit tin for a few seconds. People take photos at traffic lights and they hear it before they see it. You get nods from people driving 300k lambos, and people let you out from junctions. Tesla’s want to race you, so do M5 drivers. You have nothing to prove. Do it, but not if you can’t raise some cash every now and again. You do need to keep up with the little niggles that can happen but it’s so rewarding. “The others just travel”

Hi, James. I can tell you that the Skyhook suspension on my 17 Sport is basically flawless. When in comfort mode, it's more than comfortable. But once you select Sport mode, everything tightens up in all of the right places, and even then, it's not too tight or jittery to enjoy the drive. Great review, as always.

Kinda funny how a Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale sounds so much better than a Ferrari SF90 Hell, the Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT which i saw on the Autobahn on my way back sounded much better as well.

Good video James! Maserati continued to build UK spec cars in 2019, though probably only a handful. I may have purchased the “last” GT-S, which rolled off the assembly line in Nov 2019. As my car lives in central London, mileage is low - 8,000 "smiles" in 3 years - and she's been purrrrfect! In fact, more reliable than my Porsche 911’s and Ferrari’s.

Good and fair review James, and would agree with your points re handling. Definitely on point about the MC Stradale gearbox vs the MC slush box and this was a key reason why I got my Stradale instead of a (much cheaper!) Granturismo S . The mechanical interaction of the much maligned F1 box combined with the engine is what really makes that car IMO

I own both a Maserati GranTurismo 4.7L V8 (non-MC) and a Gen 1 Bentley Continental GT W12. These are great GT cars and are easily daily drivable. The Bentley gets better MPG. I get about 14.6 MPG from the Conti and around 11.6 from the Maserati. Part of that is I love to rev the Maserati for the sound and that's where the fun is in these cars. As for value, here in the U.S. they are both pretty much fully depreciated and are a decent value, but get a good example as repairs can be pricey. For long distance trips, I take the Bentley. I find it more comfy and it's heft makes it really solid when navigating around lots of SUVS. But with the Maserati....everyone will hear you coming. You can't lose either way, really. (Unless you absolutely need 4WD, then the Bentley wins, hands down.)

Not that expensive. And major repairs are far and few. It's the little quirky repairs that'll make you pull your hair out and add up in cost.

I’ve done some dry ice cleaning on one of these. Looks like a kit car underneath. Shocking build quality. Was rusty after a couple of years

Good video, as always. Like you said in the video, I almost bought one of those. I was seriously considering it and during a conversation with a 'specialist', found out the servicing and parts costs. I bought a F82 M4 instead. Boring??

Compared to a Maserati? Absolutely. But let's be honest, most of us would not want to pay the running costs of the GT

@@omnitraveller About servicing: the (original) oil filter is like 80 bucks. Which is ridiculous - but other than that? Had to replace an oil pan last year on the M139 (wet sump F136 V8). Costs a touch above 200€, for a cast and machined all aluminium part! I'm convinced Maserati is actually just rolling the dice on their price (of spare parts).

I very nearly got one of these..went for a Lexus LC500 instead after watching your review....just wasn't brave enough to risk those repair and service costs...the LC500 has been perfection, turns heads and also sounds amazing...and is perhaps the rarer car. I absolutely love it as you did.

An LC500 is insanely more expensive to buy outright. You could probably have had an already deprecated Maserati for 10 years before the serving costs would even catch up to the price of a new and even used LC500.

@L You don't know what I paid and what I got..which was a used LC500 with a full service plan with warranty that extends every year as I use Lexus to service it. Believe me I investigated both before I bought...including inspecting both cars and the LC500 build quality trumped the Maserati.....I never knew about the LC500 until I saw Jay review them. Rare car...I've seen 1 other in over a year of ownership...and far more Maserati GranTurismo

I had a 2010 Sport and loved it. Had it 3 years. Glorious sound, but you had to take it over 3000 rpm to get the real sound unless you changed the exhaust valve controls, which I didn’t want to do, preferring to preserve the car as original. Tested the MC Shift and it sucked - the auto box was fast enough, smooth (German too) and mpg excellent for a V8. Brakes were totally crap, so planning in advance necessary. Unlike the Bentley, you can really get 4 x 6ft people into it and drive. Boot large enough for 2 sets of golf clubs and / or shotguns! Not a supercar, but a super car!

MC Shift: There is a very simple, official DIY procedure to make the shifts smooth. 1. ignition OFF, 2. step on the brake and hold the pedal 3. Turn on the ignition while still holding the brake pedal. Hold the brake pedal for 10 seconds. 4. Turn off the ignition. DONE! This procedure causes the clutch sensors measure the clutch wear and readjust.

I think you have convinced me to buy a Maserati. I also have been looking and the one that’s caught my eye is the 2013 Quad with the 3.8 twin turbo V8 but can’t find any real opinions. Would value your point of view.
