Maserati GranTurismo S 47 MC Shift review

[@jorehir]

After 11 years this is still the best looking car on the market. Masterpiece.

[@UAPJedi]

jorehir meh, DB9 beats it just👍

[@tollyt7465]

@@UAPJedi DB9 is looking its age now, especially next to the DBS. It's still gorgeous, but for me the Maserati hasn't aged at all. Even the earliest cars are just sex on a chassis, with a deep husky, growling voice..

[@tabrazerasul]

Jaguar F-Type R beats it. But, still a stunning car

[@JamesBond-rl1up]

Alfa 8C? Aston DB9?

[@josedealbuquerquejr.941]

jorehir agree 100%. Maserati cars, specially the previous 4porte, Ghibli and coming Alfieri are the best looking cars on the market

[@tekis0]

I've always loved the way Maserati's have looked. It's classic Italian styling at its best.

[@domenicoscarpa670]

Grazie fratello🙏

[@qdav5]

Maserati's GranTurismo may be the most beautiful grand touring vehicle ever built. Yes, I am aware of its shortcomings - i.e. less-than-stellar performance, questionable reliability, somewhat less than cutting-edge electronics technology, etc ... But its lines, and its proportions, and the overall balance of the vehicle is as perfect as I can imagine. Visually, it's a modern day masterpiece.

[@josedealbuquerquejr.941]

n s it’s a great car, it’s not unreliable as many people think. It’s a car to be used every day, a real GT

[@pierrena3420]

The car is actually very reliable and very practical. So much so that I use it daily and travel on holidays with family of 4 (including myself) for 2 weeks covering 2.500km! Can also easily drive 750km (800km if you stretch it) on one tank which makes it a true GT. I am talking from 6 years of ownership and more than 120.000km of driving. A quick, fun and visceral driving experience. In short, a very solid car and a true masterpiece from Maserati!

[@ozerinx]

@@pierrena3420 what's the cost of ownership from maintenance, repairs in the 6 years?

[@pierrena3420]

@@ozerinx ca. EUR 20cents per Km including one-time brake changes on all 4 corners and first clutch change at 120.000Km. Including insurance, taxes, car wash, tires & gas that adds up to ca. EUR 43cents per km.

[@munenemathenge8085]

Still absolutely gorgeous, after 12 years. Nothing looks like it, nothing sounds like it.

[@JeromeDH92]

What a noise!!

[@Justin-ul9wo]

These are great, Im a younger guy (23) From Canada, and alot of the reviews from guys my age bug the hell out of me with there techno music, and saying bro all the time. Im still from the time period of dude. lol. Thanks!

[@captain348]

This car has aged tremendously well. Arguably Best looking coupe in the last 40 years of car design!

[@mrsmooth224]

Thanks Harry, star man. Been reading evo for years and was really sad when you left! Ive currently got a cl63 amg and really fancy one of these. Love the merc, sounds like Satan, but have a maserati itch that must be scratched.

[@johnsnow9653]

This car still holds up 10 years later. Gorgeous. Sounds spectacular.

[@chrissorreda4982]

My god this spec is absolute perfection. Dark blue on dark wheels with red calipers on tan interior! That skyhook suspension sounds annoying tho.

[@Overkill_dnb]

Give me blood red interior leather :)

[@iamrichrocker]

i would love to hate those seats all day long...

[@Aman-sj8ys]

I hate how in every review nowadays all car journalists are like “it’s not quick at all” or “it’s not quick” like 0-60 in 4.8 seconds was an E92 M3 in 2010 and everyone still calls that car fast ? So what’s the difference ? This car is still fast. People need to appreciate it more. You’re telling me 0-60 in 4.8 seconds would feel slow to you ??? Haha. Ok

[@simplefact4u]

Thanks to your amazing reviews I got myself a 2011 MC Shift and it is incredible. I wanted to upgrade to a 430 or 599 but struggling logically because it does the same job . And the noise is just intoxicating . Driving it in manual mode and going through gears give a satisfaction that nothing else does .

[@harrysgarage]

I really enjoyed owning that car but Mrs.M never liked it because it was too noisy! Can't win. Kids were only 14-15 at the time we owned it but have fond memories of it now. Enjoy!

[@simplefact4u]

@@harrysgarage your reviews are timeless ! Could I ask your opinion on few Ferrari models ? Between F430, California , 599 GTB and 458 Italia , which one would be the most fun ferrari to own for 2- 3 times a week fun drives in short distances ,moving from the maserati GTS ? 458 is out of my budget for now , but could wait a year or so to come down in price a bit.

[@fapqa978]

@@simplefact4u Either the 599 or the 458. The 599 is a bit clunky however with that single clutch gearbox, and more expensive in maintenance. The 458 is newer tech of course and more of a daily driver, so much easier to get into. Also, the 458's are pretty reliable and in my opinion the best value for your money at the moment!

[@loneranger7877]

Love your vidieos harrry! your a proper car nutter! keep them coming!

[@LoveBandit1000]

Wow...when it revs it sound like tearing silk. AMAZING!

[@AdamAus85]

Love these "old school" Maseratis, like the previous Quattroporte. Beautiful inside and out.

[@gizmothewytchdoktor1049]

like the f-type...it's hopelessly gorgeous.

[@qwerty69600]

Right, hands up lads: How many of you went straight onto AutoTrader the second he gave it some revs at the start? My word what a bloody noise. Everything else is free with this car - you're paying for the noise.

[@franixbw3593]

my dream car

[@motivationinc6415]

This Car is my Dream car and I will get it no matter what and what year it will be in that time of my Life

[@neptunesfork7628]

you are a reason why i bought my Maserati, would be absolutely lovely to do Collab video with you... i created my channel and only few i have so far

[@deanlutgert8292]

I'm addicted to the sport mode with the paddles cheapest Ferrari motor money can buy

[@julianv.5848]

MASERATI GRAN TURISMO, IS A MASERATI WITH KILLER LOOKS......LOVE IT.

[@mcprocrastinator7921]

Yup bought the same model as this couple of weeks in and love it.

[@NickRowsell]

Beautiful car but a bastard for parts ... Harry does a nice job 👍🏽

[@Miata822]

I love that sound and it is painfully beautiful to look at. I have been trying hard to talk myself out of buying one. Impractical, really. But that glorious sound...

[@vantheman1244]

Saw a 2020 GranTurismo MC Stradale this morning. It looked incredible and it still hasn’t aged in its design. 90K.......god I want it!

[@billiebleach7889]

If I had the means of buying an expensive car, I wouldn’t go for a Porsche or another sensible choice. I would gladly ignore depreciation and drive around in the absolute style and class of this Maserati

[@TWHISPERER]

Damn, that thing is awesome. Awesome. Plus, this was a good review too.

[@adampetten5349]

With its roominess and speed it would have been a much more credible villain car in Quantum of Solace than the 159 3.2.

[@andrejkostovski5172]

Adam Petten all 159's were totaled by bond how would u get over it if those cars were maseratis?

[@usynnstradler]

The maserati name Isn't magic anymore since the release of the ghibli. It's watered down the name

[@TheOrthodoxMachine]

Do you still have the GranTurismo Harry? Thinking about an automatic GranTurismo on a limited budget second hand (35k ish) and not sure if I should push the boat out and try and get an 4.7 - you can get a 4.2 from a Maserati dealer for my budget but for a auto S its about 10K more... I was also considering an older Continental GT, I want a GT car with some practicality and dash of luxury and feels special - I would value your opinion and if there was anything else I should consider? Many thanks Tim

[@MrAndyS]

Hi Tim it's a shame Harry didn't reply, I was in the same situation as you, worrying about whether to upgrade to the focus 1.4lx or just stick with the 1.3 fiesta finesse, it's that trade off of power or the luxury I'm struggling with. Harry are you there......

[@TT_1221]

+Andy S That gave me a proper giggle . .

[@simplefact4u]

Not sure if you bought a car or not , but my advice would be definitely 4.7 model . I was on the same boat but the difference is considerable and many issues have been resolved on 4.7. If you want a special car get the MC shift , but know few things first 1- make sure you do clutch reading to see how much is it worm 2- put aside $2-3k for clutch replacement (usually a new clutch lasts 20-30k miles if not tracked 3- learn and practice how to drive the f1 gearbox . The joy and satisfaction is beyond words , and quite frankly put smile on your face always

[@pierrena3420]

@@simplefact4u a clutch on this car should easily last 70.000 miles if properly operated and maintained as follows: 1) drive in MANUAL SPORT mode ALL the time. In this Mode gear changes are fastest and clutch slippage lowest during gear change 2) drive away quickly as clutch gets fully engaged at 1.800 rpm - below that it slips which causes wear. From 1.800rpm onwards there is no slippage & thus no wear. 3) during stop and go traffic wait for a few car lengths before driving away so you can rev up until 1.800rpm before coming to a halt 4) never reverse uphill (beyond 3degrees inclination). Uphill reverse is a real clutch burner. If you have to drive away forward uphill avoid stopping once in the move and make sure to keep revs above 1.800rpm 5) change oil from F1 hydraulic pump system every 12.000 miles AND perform the DEIS self-learn procedure after the change This is testament to my personal experience with my car. Thank me later.

[@ralphlouismendoza1977]

maybe thats why so many good reviews on the maserati , coz you own one... nice.

[@ALT3REDB3AST]

Good lord! I want one!!!

[@Rakatawhat]

Beautiful sound!

The Best sounding V8 ever.

Very tempted to swap my 996 Turbo for a 2011 model. Amazing they were the same sort of price new.

[@GREGZILA3000]

I love the sound of these, in the city forget about noise complaints 😂

[@SlimRhyno]

I'm just so glad that I stumbled across your channel. I'm 6'4, and people of average height have no idea the difference that a few inches of head/leg room make... Especially in an epic driver's car (such as this masterpiece) that's meant to be truly driven. Thank you for making all of these lovely videos. They are much appreciated.

[@harrysgarage]

You're welcome, thanks for watching! That video is ancient, though. Must be over ten years old now..

[@SlimRhyno]

@@harrysgarage My pleasure. I had been watching some of your newer ones, but I've been a Maserati fan for a long time and did a search through your catalog for any relevant videos. That's how I came across this one. Anywho, please keep up the lovely work, and take care.

[@AlexiaVon]

When electric rules the world, nothing will sound like this ever again. Super cars will sound like a Nissan Leaf.

[@julianv.5848]

THAT 4.7L IS A PEARL..........GREAT REVIEW HARRY!

[@Pulsonar]

I don’t understand how car companies work, many will ask how they can improve a product for customers, and take note of top car reviewers comments. Then when the next version comes out it’s like changed only 3/10 of things requested? Wtf? Harry tells them what they need to do to measure up, years later they’re still scratching there head wandering what they did wrong. Who runs these companies, the Goblins from Harry Potter? 😂

[@Rickusty]

Truly... my dream car.

[@SGTSAS]

Like a Sir..! I am actually looking to buy one of these now as a Divorced Dad Car. Looking at the 2014 model.. And I love it for the the sound and the space you get for 4 actual people.

[@henryviii6341]

this is when Maserati went silly. Too big too long too wide like Aston Martin did in late 1970s. 🇺🇸 style Muscle cars stay away. the best Mazzers all existed up to and incl 3200GT

[@warakanda7356]

with room for four, less road tax premium than the FF, this supercar is really awesome.. tq bro.

[@paulthomson9709]

warak anda the ff is just horrible from every angle though

[@deanfirnatine7814]

I want a traditional stick shift manual, grabbing gears is half the fun of driving. It is shocking how heavy this car is but its lovely and sounds incredible.

[@HariKalay]

A good friend of mine has one of these, the sound is loveeeellyyyy

[@warakanda7356]

the sexiest among other supercars, with the beautiful curve at the rear bigger than the front, I always like to look at it, definitely will own one of this. practical four seaters that can fit two adults at the rear. really awesome. thanks for the review bro, it makes me convince to buy one ie the MC Stradale hihi, cheers..

Anyone knows who is who in this KZbin channel? I can see there are at least two presenters.

Hi Harry, love the videos! Just wondering if you still have the maserati? Just ordered new grancab sport and would be interested in m4 ser if your interested in selling it?

Its astonishing, buy it, enjoy it.

sat nav is ok took me from manchaster to poland my home town with no problem :)

I’ve just bought one and it blinds my 911. It’s got character and presence. Accurate review Harry. Gearbox excellent once warm and the exhaust note is to die for.😁

Hmm i see this car in a new light

[@D4rk34g7e]

as far as im aware it is not an automated manual anymore. its now an automatic. the manual auto was on the 4.2l version only.

[@williamlopez45]

I like when you have it out on the road and you are going through the gear changes

"these will always be worth a premium, £50,000" That has not aged well :D
