5 Things I Hate about the Maserati GranTurismo

[@RichardCuico]

As others have pointed out at the end, I'm comparing the two cars' door size for those who haven't owned a coupe yet such as myself. This being my first coupe, I was surprised to see how long it was compared to a regular car. Thanks for watching!

[@russellmarco4716]

Yes coupe doors are wider. But it comes with the more aggressive look like you were saying you liked.

[@geraldcampa8195]

I have a 2017 Maserati GTS came from a BMW 4 if you think the door is long go test drive a M4 or 4 series and get back with me the Maserati door is so much smaller in tight spots I hated the BMW door because that is a long door and heavier.

[@jadajada9999]

WHAT YEAR IS THIS MAZI??????????????????????????

[@dj8six]

I thought you where reviewing the model with the newer radio system... This isn't a fair comparison video because the radio has been changed

[@cavaleer]

Good vid. You should level up with the rims and tires. You're absolutely right about the tire and rim size being too small. And to be fair, you should've entered and exited the passenger side of the Hyundai. Beauty comes at a price. Just ask chicks how those 4 inch heels feel. lol

[@andretakacs4904]

How to save 12 minutes of your life: 1. Alarm System (sounds alarm when locked with windows down & breezy) 2. Foot Room (I agree - very little space for size 12 shoes) 3. Entertainment / Multimedia System - (outdated and peculiar controls) 4. Body - (Wheels don't stick out enough?) 5. Door length - (Coupe doors 58" are longer than the sedan doors he is used to.) You're welcome.

[@firstnamesecondname5341]

So nothing relevant in the real world, 👍 Put windows up when locking car 🚗 Drive in a correct seated position Swap out an outdated media system to one that supports Apple or android systems. Wheels are fine unless you want the racer or wannabe gangster look Don’t buy the car if you’ve got weight issues Oh and the MC transmission is well known for being rubbish, as is the skyhook suspension (which again is taken from Citroen 😬) so standard model is best 👍👍👍👍👍

[@brendanwilliams7553]

Thank you

[@tokiwartooth714]

How about every plastic piece breaking. Center console latch; window controls; mirror adjustment. Gummy buttons and knobs; constant bushing wear on driver side upper controi arm; parking sensor failures; valve cover gasket leakage;

[@Total_Body_Fitness_USA]

I have a 2013 and completely agree with everything you said. I end up installing new wheels and tires to fix the large gaps. Went with 12" wide 21" rims in the back with 325/30 michelin tires and it looks insane. Changed the entire look for the car. I also upgraded the entire infotainment system and went with the latest Tesla 13.6" apple car play screen which has all the AC controls built in. I also updated the gauge cluster to all digital. I also upgraded to a push button start and did away with the key. In all I spent close to $9K and did it all myself. It looks better than a 2023 model in my opinion. Next I am going to install a performance chip and increase horsepower by 40-60.

[@m.h.k.518]

3:33 Dude... Honestly this is one of the best sounding cars EVER. In my opinion.

[@RichardCuico]

it really does! I have a few videos of it revving here and there and it's definitely the best sounding v8 I've ever heard

[@lighthousiandogus3251]

Yes,as Ferrari engine sounded like a Lamborghini..🤔

[@investidorarrojado6479]

@@lighthousiandogus3251 ????

[@MrIFARI]

The wheel gap is because the car can seat 4 people and the suspension has to carry the extra weight.....Also, 4 doors are for taxi cabs - Ya don't wanna ever compare a luxury GT Coupe to a tiny Hyundai.

[@isaac.genesis]

MrIFARI Maybe he is stupid

[@RichardCuico]

I'm just giving people a perspective as some may have not owned a coupe before. This being my first coupe it's a bit surprising seeing how long the doors are compared to a regular car as I've only owned 4 doors cars

[@armankiarmankii]

@@RichardCuico makes sense,good to know as I'm also looking into getting one as my first couple too!!thx😁😁

[@2008MrsKim]

It's also kinda stupid to lock the car with the windows down....just saying.

[@PRIDEATH]

2008MrsKim not really, what if you are just at home and leave them down before you go back out or whatever. In public yeah but it's a stupid idea nonetheless

[@AldoRyan]

Agreed. Why set the alarm with the windows down? I own the same car and even in my neighborhood which is the safest, wouldn't keep my windows down in public.

[@RichardCuico]

well as mentioned I go to car meets quite frequently and put the windows down for people to see

[@AldoRyan]

You are a gentleman, nonetheless.

[@CryptoEyeIV]

is security

[@djchrisroxx]

It doesn't make sense to compare 4 door to a coupe, of course a 2 door will have longer doors.

[@RichardCuico]

I wasn't necessarily comparing the two but you're right. The coupe will definitely have longer doors but these just seem to be so massive compared to other coupes I've seen.

[@Driko99]

Uh not really compare it to a mustang it's prob the same.

[@RichardCuico]

really? Then my bad hahah but I've never owned a coupe before so this being my first it surprised me how long it was and I wanted to show how long it was to those who have only owned 4 door cars like me

[@PlayYouAChopin]

Ran into and ended up buying a 2014 Sport. Your videos encouraged me to pull this LARGELY IRRESPONSIBLE YET HAPPY purchase. White exterior, red interior with piano wood and white stitching, black wheels with red calipers. I have not been able to take my eyes off of her, and probably will never.

[@RichardCuico]

hahaha it's a completely irresponsible purchase but definitely one you'll never forget. Your spec sounds so beautiful! Did you make sure to get the extended warranty on your car?

[@PlayYouAChopin]

Yea bro, I got the extended warranty and wheels & tires protection. I live in the midwest, a lot of potholes fresh coming out of the winter. The Rosso Corallo leather definitely makes the car pop and more exciting. Is yours a daily driver?

[@RichardCuico]

that's great to hear so you dont really have to worry about reliability even though I haven't heard any problems with the newer GTs (2013 and up). It's not a daily driver since I put already so many miles on it during the weekend so trying to save some miles when I can haha

[@Kebabzyeh]

Just be thankful you own such a beautiful piece and get yourself bigger and wider wheels if you would like to have more aggressive look and minimize the gaps 🙂

[@dukebmxrider]

The Maserati cant please everyone but it hasn't lost its character and thats its most important asset in the age of infotainment & dual clutches. It's raw power in a tuxedo

[@RichardCuico]

you're right! This car has so much character and I absolutely love it for that

[@therealg9843]

Should have named this video “first world problems” 😂

[@pyrusrex2882]

You certainly can't complain about the sound of that engine!!!! The Maserati 4.7 is the best crossplane v8 ever put into a car!

[@RichardCuico]

certainly no complaints there at all ahhah. I absolutely love it!

[@pyrusrex2882]

Wouldn't be Italian if it was perfect, and it wouldn't be perfect if it was perfect. This philosophy also applies to ALFA's.

[@bobwilliam6242]

The transmission is slower because it’s a GT car. You’re comparing a track-focused car to a GT. Kinda unfair for the Maserati, but still, great video 👍

[@dukebmxrider]

bob william the faster you go, the faster the shifts. The f1 cambiocorsa trans wasn't designed for putting around

[@RichardCuico]

it was an extreme comparison but you got my point. However, I've grown to love the transmission because it gives the car so much more character. I'm glad you like the video though thanks for watching!

[@RexNathanChan]

Thank you for this video! I’m looking at getting a 2008 and it’s very useful to have this video 😀😀

[@RichardCuico]

no problem! I'd suggest anything 2013 and younger tho due to all the issues being resolved and they're more reliable

[@jeffyounce3992]

I love my 08' GT. I barely listen to the radio because the sound is the best song I ever heard!

[@jr7026]

that alarm complaint is pretty stupid. I don’t know anyone who would ever want to lock the car with the windows down, and even then there’s an easily accessible button to disable that alarm. I mean what more do you want

[@RichardCuico]

well the way I see it. If that's one of the five things that annoy me. Then that must mean the car is pretty great overall if something that insignificant was added to the list

[@jr7026]

Richard Cuico fair enough! I just got a 2013 MC and love it so far

[@imok509]

Im from bangkok thailand i would like to know about maserati granturismo​ whats year is easy to maintenance and not a high cost of service? Its better if i try to look for v8 and ZF gearbox on granturismo ​isnt it? Because in thailand​ this car not a poppular hete and i dont know to find out more detail about this car.

[@RichardCuico]

typically anything 2013 and up would be the easiest to maintain from my experience. Service is going to cost a lot unless you take it to an independent shop instead of a dealership. The ZF automatic transmission is reliable and easy to live with. Check out all my other videos on the Maserati GT!

[@robertcomella3587]

I have a gt mc convertable and nothing you said makes sense...i have size 12 shoes and have no issues...the buttons behind the steering wheel control every screen once your in it and well as scanning through all the radio stations... The doors are big to make it easy to get into the back seat....i have wheel spacers to fix that issue but ride height is perfect for a gt car...if it was lower it would be scraping speed bumps and low curbs...its not a ferrari and meant to be comfortable

[@RichardCuico]

thanks for the feedback! Maybe the way you and I drive are different which is why I keep running into that issue. However, I was able to fix it by just wearing smaller shoes. The buttons behind the steering wheel did work however both sides did the same thing. It being my first two door, I wasn't aware of how big the doors really were until comparing it so I made this video to help shine some awareness how big the doors are if you've never owned a two door. I appreciate your comment and thanks for watching Robert!

[@slimtny]

It's a GT car. Not a muscle car. Hence the wheels fit inside the wheel wells. Also this keeps the car from being pelted with rocks and debris.

[@carssurfer]

I feel you so much! Hope they have sorted out the electronics in the face lift!

[@RichardCuico]

I hope they have but I've grown to accept the car as it is and just love it completely!

[@TrevorByron]

Yo I am 6,6 and wear a size 14 I am thinking about purchasing this car I now see the space and all do u think it wouldn’t work for me? Another option I was looking it was a SRT hellcat

[@RichardCuico]

Honestly it could be a problem with both your height and your shoe size, however, I still wouldn't throw out the option of getting one of these out until you've really sat in it and test drove it. I've since gotten used to these problems so it could be the same for you.

[@bronxbomber9616]

Is there a mandatory 2500 annual service required?? Oil change fluids balancing belts etc

[@RichardCuico]

the recurring service that you have to do to your vehicle is either ever 2 years or every 12k miles. The things that will have to be serviced will sometimes differ but most of the time it'll just be an oil change and checking the fluids

[@bronxbomber9616]

Richard Cuico what is the avg cost of that? I was thinkn of purchasing I’m discouraged by the maintenance tho

[@RichardCuico]

it's hard to say since I just hit that point where I need to take my car into servicing. However, I've seen other Maserati guys say that it's around $1.6k-$2K for that maintenance which is not bad for every 12k miles. Oil changes are about $350-$600 which is included in that $1.6k-$2k estimate. Tires are about $1.1k. When you put it in perspective for a $150k car it's not too bad. Also if you buy a car that is out of warranty I strongly recommend doing the servicing yourself since some of them are fairly simple. If you buy a car out of warranty then make sure you get a pre-purchase inspection to make sure everything is in tip top shape

[@autotrimmers6353]

How much is annual maintenance cost on these??

[@RichardCuico]

check my latest videos as I go more in-depth on servicing and how to do your own

[@richardbutton1261]

Beautiful car. Hopefully this summer I'll be able to consider buying a Maserati. Maybe not a GT but perhaps a Ghibli or Levante. I wear a size 11 shoe so I guess I would be screwed trying to fit my foot under the panel.

[@RichardCuico]

I'm not too sure if the Ghibli or Levante have the same problem but definitely with a size 11 shoe you it might get annoying and potentially dangerous. Maserati though have definitely stepped up their game though. I'd suggest buying a used that still has warranty over buying it new though. They depreciate pretty bad so to avoid losing too much cash used it the way!

[@richardbutton1261]

Yeah Ive seen even 1 year old Ghibli's and Quattroporte's and Levante's discounted as much as $25k. NOT USED either. 17 models they havent sold and desperate to get rid of them. GT's however not so much. I saw a 14 Turismo with maybe 20,000 miles and they were asking $70k. Course they're 140-150 new 175 if you get the MC. Ouch.

[@GeoffCapes73]

I have size 12 (UK) 13 US. And I have no problem in my GTS at all with room for my feet.

[@ChrisMacri376]

Bigger and wider wheels better option than spacers maybe??

[@RichardCuico]

definitely trying to work on that but it's going to take awhile to save up for that

[@sandorharanghy2466]

So u dont like the music system ...chuck it out! You have the engine to make music. Dunno why u complain about the stupid radio. Have a Tesla and enjoy the silence. This car is a v8, no entertainment system needs to be installed. Btw, why r u so concerned about the consumption system etc? People buy this car they dont care the consumption. For me it doesnt make sence what you complain about. The only thing withthe car is the interior design. Lookslike my old nokia phone. Otherwise the car is sound

[@Dean-eu2pl]

you drive a Maserati for its performance and its looks. Anything else that you want can achieved by any other car. Hands down this a custom suit and not a Tshirt

[@RichardCuico]

you're completely right about that

[@saltybulldog3241]

Ummm no. If you want performance U really don't buy this car...

[@rukshandesilva2591]

Is 2008 granTurismo reliable ?..is it good?

[@RichardCuico]

I honestly wouldn't touch anything under 2011 since the earlier GTs had a lot more issues

[@kanob6440]

Maybe I'm really simple but I love the infotainment system. I don't care about navigation or touch screens, that's what my phone is for.

[@RichardCuico]

For being a 150k car brand new you'd just kind of expect more. However, I don't care much about it either since all your attention just goes to that sweet engine note and the overall experience of the car!

[@SAVAGE8]

2022 still one of the most beautiful cars timeless. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@STAK_22]

That's an Aftermarket Alarm, and it's an Active Alarm, which Arms itself in more situations than the Factory alarm would!

[@collinryan5361]

I had the door problem too, that's why I put lambo doors on mine. I had an 09 GT and I hate the empty button on the left side of the steering wheel. I'm assuming your wheels are stock because it gives you extra room to put on wide tires. It's the last naturally aspirated V8 Ferrari engine, not super fast but the sound it so mean especially if you put an aftermarket exhaust on it.

[@RichardCuico]

that's a great way to solve the door problem! Ya my wheels are stock and hopefully in the future I can save up enough cash to get some nice rims. The car sounds incredible even with a special exhaust but I plan on putting a larini on mine

[@luca_ng]

You have the best sounding car in the world

[@badhobz1]

Try the mode button and switch it to radio then use the rear steering wheel controls. I think your foot rest issue is only isolated to you. I've never had any issues with mine and I'm 6'2 with size 13 shoes.

[@RichardCuico]

i'll try that thanks and the foot issue might be but I've since have gotten used to the car so it doesn't bother me anymore

[@kamikazekaos]

unfortunately nothing we can do about that :/

[@autotrimmers6353]

What about are these expensive to maintain?

[@RichardCuico]

if you take them to the dealership they're pretty expensive since they charge an arm and a leg. If you can do the service yourself you'll be saving 100s and it'll be way more affordable to maintain

[@Aleww]

How reliable has the GT been? Any mechanical issues?

[@RichardCuico]

We’re almost at 36k miles and I can report no mechanical issues whatsoever! (Knock on wood) We did buy it used but even past vehicle reports never mentioned any major repair jobs, only oil changes. If you’re interested definitely check out the 2014s. Some of them still have warranty left that you can extend up to 2 more years and I believe it’s a unlimited mileage warranty if you’re worried about reliability

[@icekitty400]

If the doors we're smaller you'll then be complaining about people not being able to squeeze into the backseats!

luckily it's not the same for the Granturismo. Since its been in production since 2007 they seemed to have worked out all the problems by 2013 which is why I chose to get a 2013 GT. Anything older than 2013 I wouldn't recommend unless the car has been completely inspected and has been properly maintained. From what I've seen +2013 haven't caused any major issues.

[@XulTaiff]

@@RichardCuico i personally believe in leasing cars considering they depricate and thy have the warranty , have you encounter anything to crazy in repairs or maintenance ?

[@dougdaniel8549]

I’ve driven a 2019 GranTurismo. Tech is outdated. Also, who uses their whole foot for the gas pedal. I have a size 11 foot with no problem. Paddle shifting isn’t to bad but I prefer manual transmission as lag will always be a problem.

[@RichardCuico]

even in the updated GT everything still feels a bit old. The transmission left in automatic is pretty laggy

[@GulfRS1]

No clutch ? Weird

[@garett2892]

It's a automatic with manual shiftabiliyy

[@adamsdailydriveway]

Spacers or wider wheels/tires. Infotainment has always been a downfall on the gt, so I replaced my unit with a modern iPad mini, wayyyy better. Only other issue I’m not fond of with my gt is barely any mods avail as far as performance, novitech has a few things but cost so much for such little Hp especially their ecu tune is barely 40hp for 3k, exhaust is already amazing especially is sport mode. Best looking gt car, and best sounding gt v8 car of all time!!! From a roll they are pretty fast, but racing any modern coupe it will lose, even to a mustang gt, but from a roll it can hit 190mph!!

[@RichardCuico]

You'd think after several years they'd do something about the infotainment system but surprisingly they didn't. Not sure about the 2018 models though but hopefully they did. You're right about mods though. Parts are expensive for little gain. I have several things planned if I can save up money but it might be awhile from now. If you're looking for maybe a diffuser or something check out MFR engineering. They do some crazy stuff

[@adamsdailydriveway]

Richard Cuico -yea the 2018 has the same infotainment screen and set up as the newer Chrysler’s, but same climate control and cluster, I have the best idea for the grandturismo, they need to replace the engine and trans with the 3.8tt v8 from the quattroporte which is shared by the 488 Ferrari, would be so much faster and way more in the leagues of other gt cars, also replace the cluster with a digital or tft screen.

[@RichardCuico]

That would be incredible if they would do that. I would miss the old 4.7L but if they put the 488 engine that would help the value of the GT stay consistent rather than it dropping 50% after of 2 years of ownership. It seems like Maserati is just focusing on their 4 door sedans since they do sell more. Poor GT getting no love.

[@adamsdailydriveway]

Richard Cuico - for sure but grandturismos are already overvalued from new, but in the used market they have been steady for the 4.7 2010 and up around high30s-60s for a used mc 2012ish, and a 2017 same body and engine you will pay 100k for one, so I love that the body stayed the same from 08-17.

[@RichardCuico]

ya you're so right about that. Way too overvalued considering how much they drop. When we bought this car we got it for 67ish which was a bit lower that the other MCs out there on the market so we werent complaining. Totally agree with you with the body. Hasnt changed one bit and fortunately the reliability has improved from what I've been told as well.

[@firstnamesecondname5341]

3:30 🕞 but that ignition burble 👍 The Maserati infotainment system is the same as the midrange system on a Citroen C5 😬 (which is most definitely mot a high expensive end car 🚗) But in fairness with time no cars infotainment system is going to keep pace with smartphone tech, just swap it out

[@RichardCuico]

you're totally right but with smartphones nowadays, who needs a fancy infotainment system

[@zebbell]

I am on my second Masi GT, so here is my two cents: I agree with the gas and break paddles being too close. I have already had my foot on the gas paddle three times thinking its break and had engine rev up crazy luckily all these were when I was starting the car. Second thing is the passenger side mirror, it does not retract back to the original position when coming back out of read gear to drive. Once in a while it only come back halfway. And lastly, the driver-side side mirror slightly rattles on high speed. I have had two Masi GT, one 2012 and one 2016 both manifested both mirror retract and rattle problems I mentioned.

[@RichardCuico]

thanks for sharing your experiences Mark! Since you're on your second Masi it's safe to say that you absolutely love the car just like I do. However, it does come with a few quirks here and there. The gas and brake peddles are hopefully addressed in the successor to the Maserati GT because after 2018 Maserati plans on laying it to rest (so I've heard from a reliable source). What I found to be the solution to that is either driving with no shoes or smaller profile shoes like Vans. With the rattling of the mirrors I fortunately haven't come across that yet. Speaking of problems have you even experience a total coolant loss in any of your GTs?

[@farshadmsrr]

[@jlelouch5464]

Dude! Whatever you said you hate the Maserati GT, but I love it so so much. I own my GTC for like 5 years, and now I'm still driving it for the daily drive. The car you drive is very comfortable, it is not like other sports car's room that feels so tiny, the space is good, the driving vision is very good too, and the seats are very comfortable. I'm 6' tall and every time I seated in the Maserati GTC I feel that the driving seat space is very roomy!!!! I don't feel I drive a sport car, I feel that I drive a sedan car lol....Also the sound, OMG I have to say that is so delicious, it has 4.7 liter naturally aspirated engine, it makes sound so fantastic, because that 4.7 V8 engine was modified by Ferrari. I remembered that the Ferrari California the old version they used the same V8 4.7 engine on the Maserati GT Or GTC 4.7 engine. Perhaps, my Maserati is convertible version, every times when I open my top and driving on the Santa Barbara's seaside road, feels so great. So dude please, if you own your Maserati GT like more then 3 or 5 years then you can list everything you hate it! For me the only hate thing is the battery, if I go out like 1 or 2 month the battery will completely died, that is I only hated.

[@RichardCuico]

honestly after making this video I've just grown to love it more and more and these problems are not really problems hahah. As far as I know the the 4.7L Engine is made by Ferrari but isn't shared with any Ferrari model. The battery thing is unavoidable but as long as you have a battery tender you should be good!

[@inyoface690]

For the price it’s really just the driving experience the infotainment is so trash.

You're clearly parking in the wrong part of the parking lot with a car like that. Anyone who cares about their sports car parks it out in the back 40.

[@RichardCuico]

this being my first 2 door, it's an eye-opener for me. I apologize if I'd upset you and I respect your opinion. Thanks for watching!

[@LexCameron]

No need for apology or respect, it was just very dry humor based comment. Nice car.

[@bowzist]

Sounds so good

[@RichardCuico]

it sounds so incredible indeed! My new one sounds just as good 😜

[@dylansmith6768]

Let's be honest here anyone who knows about cars knows that Maserati does not know how to make a performance vehicle. Maseratis are for people who want to look cool as they drive down the street.

[@RichardCuico]

I actually wanted to cover this in a future video but it's because they can't since they'll be competing with Ferrari

[@dylansmith6768]

But Maserati doesn't even make good cars, I mean the interior was very outdated and it doesn't live up to the price tag. I don't think Maserati is too concerned about Ferrari because Mercedes and BMW both make cars that can easily outperform any Maserati. Maserati is focused on making a high-performance luxury sedan and there are many companies that do it better for cheaper. That's why I'm saying its for people who want to look cool because they're flashy cars that sound really good (there is no denying Maserati makes some of the best sounding cars). Sorry if I'm coming off as a hater but the only purpose of this car is for attention.

[@slartirzr]

Maserati and Ferrari are both owned by Fiat, and it is the mother company that does not allow Maserati to compete with Ferrari. Which makes sense from their perspective.

[@bencarrington7260]

@@slartirzr it sucks cos the maserati name is classier AND has been around a lot longer than ferrari. I'd take a maserati over a ferrari any day

[@marvinmoreno7032]

Maseratis are for people who want to look cool everywhere not just down the street...and why not !!

[@HaskinsChannel]

Is this Camarillo ?

[@RichardCuico]

you have a good eye

[@jacopocito8307]

I really don't understand how u can "hate" a car like this i will love any difect cause look at it is beauty and the engine sound omg what did you want more ?

[@RichardCuico]

Well anything has it quirks just like how TGE (i think that’s his youtube channel) made a vid similar to this about his aventador. He absolutely loves the car in it’s entirety but he just wants to shed light on some “quirks” that the car has. I’m pretty much doing the same thing. Thanks for sharing your opinion tho man!

[@jordan234674]

On your "bonus" issue, just get a Drive By Wire from Formula Dynamics.

[@RichardCuico]

Does it really make a significant difference? But definitely will once I save up enough for it

[@jordan234674]

Richard Cuico shifts are a little quicker, and you'll notice a significant difference in throttle response.

[@308beatZ]

I also own a Maserati and the only thing I dislike about Maserati is that the engines are crossplane and not flatplane crank

[@RichardCuico]

had no idea it was a crossplane. Probably because since it was meant for gran touring rather than racing, they wanted the drive to be as smooth as possible.

[@308beatZ]

That honestly sounds about right. It is defiantly the most comfortable I've been at doing +150 MPH. For being crossplane it's still one of the top 5 best sounding V8's in my opinion. I've owned mine for about 3 years and still puts a smile on my face when I start it up.

[@RichardCuico]

Yeah at high speeds it's as smooth as butter. I totally agree that it's one of the best sounding v8's and possibly one of the best sounding cars in my opinion. You really can't but help but smile when you hear it ahhaha. Speaking of which I'll have an rev battle video between the Maserati and a Huracan coming out soon so watch out for that!

[@chijen2010]

If you want the flatplane crank, pay up and buy the Ferrari. Nothing sounds better than a Ferrari with the roof down driving through a tunnel. Nothing.

[@bronxbomber9616]

U gotta do a vid on maintenance costs

[@RichardCuico]

Just hit the point where I have to do maintenance on the car so that video will come soon

[@jeffyounce3992]

Hey Dude! Maybe Maserati was giving you time to remember you left the windows down..LOL

[@stephan97]

I’m so glad they got rid of all of those phone buttons on the infotainment for 2018.

[@RichardCuico]

It's great how they added a bigger screen in place of all those buttons

[@monicastanly1938]

Guy nothing is wrong with tyre gap because is an advantage for us in Africa Because we don’t good roads

[@estoyaqui5386]

8:03 "i can fist it" ^^ The thing with the buttons behind the steering wheel (4:13) is strange: when i bought a Alfa Romeo in the early 2000´s, the dealer also showed me the Maserati GC he had in the show room. And i remember clearly that one of the set controlled the gauges and the other one could change the radio stations/skip tracks on a CD. And it worked always, without having to fiddle on the headunit first. Maybe you have to configure it in the settings to work that way, dunno...

[@RichardCuico]

I've tried fiddling with it but honestly it really isnt a huge issue just reaching over to the radio and changing it there. It's just a weird quirk that the car has so I've left it alone. Would be cool if I can change it to the way you've seen it work tho!

[@Smithy223]

I hate the back lights and the number pad and super old ac display

[@齐恒毅]

Only 5? I can name 50 things I don't like about Maserati

[@2008MrsKim]

what...No puch button start? I'm over it now. The only thing I want, it doesn't have

[@RichardCuico]

turning a key is so much more satisfying tho :/

[@sharjeelkhan7437]

Car is beautiful. I am sure if people start finding faults in you they can find at least 50! Lol. Starting with big feet ! 🙄

[@FSShenanigans]

Size 10 isn't big I where a size 13

[@aungkhana9985]

I love this car,a few year i must have!!!

[@roycheng5962]

This is a beautiful car, sexy body, amazing sound, but the biggest problem with this car is that it is really slow, comparing with other same price cars this one definitely is the slowest, when a half price of this car trying to challenge you on the street such as M4, RS3, and you can’t do anything about it this will not feel good. Also when you seat into this car it’s like you seat into a 20 years old car, it does not telling you are in a luxury car, you are in a Maserati.

[@RichardCuico]

it is definitely a slow car compared to it's rivals at the same price point. Just like you said though, this car makes up for it in the way it looks and sounds. It is pretty dated but I love mine so much. Hopefully the next iteration of the GT is outstanding because when this first came out it was

[@toddh914]

He big baby. More engine sound, less whining!

[@yourcovlogger3349]

Bro you filipino?

[@pcar928fan]

The Japanese market (where I am sure they wanted to sell cars) requires a,certain amount of fender overlap of the wheels. Imagine how ugly it would be if they had to put little fender extensions on the car. Get four spacers and quit complaining. LOL. I'm jealous. Driven a bunch of GranTurismos and I love them! At some point I'll have one of these!

[@RichardCuico]

they're surprisingly well priced now and I'm onto my second one. An absolutely incredible car and love every second of ownership!

[@user-ch5ij5yd2g]

all these dummies and fanboys always dislike any video when someone says stuff about a car they don't like, seriously you guys are so immature, anytime a video like this is made, the person always makes it clear that they still love the car and they are just some annoying things about the car. Of course they are first world problems, it's an expensive car we are talking about anyways, what were you expecting when you clicked on the video, engines exploding every 10,000 miles? That's called dealbreakers, not things to hate (then the video would have been titled "5 reasons to stay away from").... this video like others just point out "good to know" annoyances you might encounter as an owner who actually paid a hefty price for their car........ if first world problems bother you so much then why do you even watch videos about ownership of expensive cars? A good example is that common knowledge says a 150k base msrp car should not have an all plastic interior.... and based on disliker logic, you cannot dare complain about that because it's a first world problem and you should be happy to give them your hard earned 150k in such a first world country regardless of quality...... see how stupid that sounds..... dumbest logic ever... seems like pure jealously, if you were the one paying 150k for a car, I'm sure you would damn well expect a good quality car beyond fundamental mechanical durability which is a GIVEN.....

[@tomislavstipic1694]

how tall are you?

[@RichardCuico]

like 5'7

[@alabamahamma1987]

flexing on your car while whining is SO getting old. the remote can operate windows and alleviate your issue. you use both feet to drive and the heel and toe position it offers are perfect for an experienced driver. the doors too big? wow. tires not wide? umm its handling is related to the tire size. comparing that work of art to ANY hyundai is criminal. lol get some music that doesnt SUCK please when showing off that art. ;) your car is beautiful love the spoiler and grille work. body lines are just amazing. i hope you have many safe worry free miles in it. 👍🏻
