Is It Worth Buying A USED MC20 In 2025?!

[@ganesan00001]

The MC20 looks stunning in yellow. This car will age very well over time.

[@shaunkaridza1579]

Looks like a lotus

[@thomasferrarojr.9772]

​@shaunkaridza1579 It doesn't, really. And then, there's the fact that this design came out before the Emira. Hmm...so interesting how that works. I'm sure you don't believe me, so go look it up.

[@misterpacha1]

It does especially with the blacked out roof

[@michaelchamberlain879]

I thought the blue it came in was stunning but I suppose in retrospect a bit boring?

[@peskn]

Even better with the ARIA Carbon aerodynamic kit!

[@R120-r4k]

For me the interior has one major advantage over rivals - everything works, still has indicator stalks, no stupid haptics or overloaded steering wheel. Yes that have raided the parts bin, but so much easier on a daily basis to interact with than most of its rivals, no proding and swiping multiple times with your eyes not on the road. How good an interior looks is pointless if the primary function of easy day to day usability is lost in the process. Modern Ferraris, Lambos etc are nightmare to drive no without getting stressed out with the appalling controls. Yes the quality should be better, but to live with I suspect a much better prospect than its rivals.

[@KarlkEst]

Lamborghinis are quite usable interior wise. Yes they have quirks but they to have real physical buttons that you get used to. Ferrari is another story with their horrendous touch sensitive stuff.

[@godlyobject6509]

@@KarlkEst The Revuelto has exactly zero physical buttons, outside the steering wheel. The interior is 10-years dated. (I love Lamborghini, btw, I'm just wildly disappointed with the interior.)

The Ford Explorer, for example, after years of touch screens added......a wheel. HOLY CHRIST WE CAN TWIST A WHEEL FOR VOLUME! That was the first industry break-up with touch screens. After that, physical buttons made a return. Look at the new Civic, there are physical buttons! The new Civic has a great interior.

Nah, it is got a lot of stuff from a Giulia QV, lots of people would have driven the two.Yes it has got Tonale stuff but the Tonale stuff is in all Alfa Romeo models from the cheapest to the most expensive. Even the engine is an Alfa Romeo engine. Not surprising given the MC20 was originally going to be an Alfa model before Stallanis switched it to Maserati.

[@mikeowen1819]

I'm pretty sure that they'll become more of a bargain in year's to come. Great if you hold off, not great if you buy one. Also have to think about the running costs of a £200k car (that you've bought for £120 - £150k)... will need to put a smile on your face with all those factors combined!

[@rahulsudhir666]

The maintenance n replacement parts (Being a Maserati, things are bound to start failing after the 3rd year mark) will be very expensive. I feel that a Ferrari 458 will be a much better purchase/investment. They've been quite reliable, handles wonderfully, is quite a looker n what to me is the biggest factor - That 4.5L NA V8! 😍 Get an Fi exhaust with the valves so that you can cruise comfortably without waking up the neighborhood n hear that banshee of an engine when you're out to have fun.

[@PulpDogg]

Went to Italy last year and came by Modena. Maserati HQ is located there, including the factory where they built the MC20. Did tour of that (unfortunately wasn't allowed to film or photograph). It was fascinating. They are built by hand basically.

[@flyingphoenix113]

That's why they cost so much. Sam doesn't get it, and maybe a factory tour would help. The MC20 is far more hand made than ANY Ferrari or Lamborghini at the moment short of their one-off projects. Maserati should really try to capitalize more on that fact.

[@lacorsanostra]

Some quick thoughts: 1- The MC20 has always struck me (in a good way) as a 4C on steroids. 2- Here in the States, I’ve seen 2-3 low(ish) mileage MC20s hovering around the $150K mark. (Some may be “manufacturer buyback” examples, as different states have different laws regarding disclosure of such) but several more are at the $165K mark. If my arithmetic is right, that works out to +/- £118K to £130K…a very compelling proposition, in my estimation. 3- My DNA doesn’t include the sensitivity necessary to gauge how "emotive" a given engine is (or isn’t) so that’s not a consideration for me. 4a- The interior is “meh” on the execution. I believe some (many? most?) of the materials used could be more upmarket - especially given the retail price for an MC20 when new - but I can grade the design as being acceptable. 4b- I’m certain someone will comment/have commented that compared to its rivals where, for all the “premium” vibes of their interior touch points, it does seem that making changes to various settings requires some impressive tap-dancing with your fingertips across a labyrinthine set of menus and steps…not something I’d eagerly anticipate doing while moving at speed. 4c- That all said, I believe time will prove the interior to be net positive, especially in terms of longevity. I wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end say, in 2035, of an estimate to repair a haptic SOMETHING from my friendly local Ferrari/Lambo/McLaren dealer. 5- I’m curious if the braking issue is a function of ceramic rotors, or does the brake design feature some other hidden sins.

[@Vincetagram]

I haven’t yet driven the MC20, but your sentiment about how you think this would be a good car at $100k is how I feel about every Maserati I’ve had seat time in lol. I’m happy to know I’m not the only one and this is probably why they DO depreciate so hard. I remember fucking around the the granturismo configurator back in middle school and wondering why it was a $250k car fully optioned, then I went and drove a newer, facelifted one at 21yo and thought to myself: this would be a really good car if it was in the price range of a fully optioned m4 or a low spec 991.2 GTS. That’s kinda where I feel the performance, build quality, and interior materials of the Granturismo lies, it’s honestly insane that you get that same sort of experience in a $200k+ base msrp supercar

[@HamburgEnglishman]

Sam, love all your videos, and keep it up! Interesting fact. Here in Germany, they have had issues selling them, and as a business lease, there are some crazy deals. I was offered a new, black / black, full option car, for zero deposit, €995 a month for 24 months. Just crazy for a €300,000 car......

What a refreshingly honest car review. So many times it feels like auto journalists wont actually give their opinion on a car in fear of losing favor with a manufacturer.

[@axing_]

Compare the Giulia steering wheel assembly (paddles, buttons, etc.) and the MC20 one and you can clearly see why they might feel a bit cheap-ish in a car such as this.

[@dylthebradiator5037]

I've always been confused by this car. This thing got Evo car of the year yet almost every individual review has commented negatively on the exhaust sound, brake feel, interior quality. These negatives paired with the insane price drop in the UK really pushes me and I'm guessing many others away from this car. Such a shame. This is literally my favourite looking car of the 2020s, when I first saw this thing at Good Wood festival of speed, I was at the booth just jaw dropped for about an hour. I was really hoping for a serious Maserati supercar that could compete with the big boys (Ferrari F8s, McLaren 720s, Porsche GTs and Turbos, and Lambo Huricans) but it feels like they have just done what they always do, - make a car that looks beautiful but feels crap.

Some brands are meant to fail because of the public like to hate it , if a car has one flaw and 100 great features you find everybody just focuses on that flaw , no car is perfect and no car is 100% reliable, it's always a weighing argument many times just the exterior design or the sound can seal the deal , for sure Maserati is a victim of that , it has always been a great brand that is so special and for some it's a bargain sports car same as the McLaren which for me I would take any of them at least over a Porche anytime.

Does the engine sound a bit crap because of all the OPFs and filters? Those early Giulias sounded great… maybe not super car great but they had real character

[@MB-zt9eo]

Sam the answer is yes. Why Not so much production. Full Petrol head. No battery. Handly made one by one. Like yours First 4C, this car in 5/6 years price will grow Up

[@jjjfo1818]

This car would have been an absolute home run as an Emira competitor

[@TheLukanda]

Interesting, I like the sound. Do you think you can fix the emotional feel with a different exhaust?

[@skeeplays4409]

In my opinion Sam presents a perfect summary of this car. The price of this from factory is absolutely ridiculous. Just checked what a used R8 from 2017 costs in Germany atm and the MC20 is almost double the price at the used car market 😂😂

[@popeyepanther4519]

Why does the tire not cover the rim properly? Winter tires?

[@godlyobject6509]

Haven't seen you this honest in awhile. I also, happen to agree. I WANT to love that car, I just don't. Well done, Sam.

[@LeviHeatonIII]

What year is it? Used car... What year? How used is it? And wth would you choose yellow?

[@raylancaster2712]

Great looking car, better than Ferrari, McLaren’s but lacks quality in sound and drama. Service costs on MC20’s ate horrendous.

[@TheMJ008]

At 13:30 you nailed it. i was thinking of trading my r8 v10 plus but the engine just ruins it for me. no emotion in the mc20

[@Drop_a_gear_and_disappear]

It’s so eye watering pretty.

[@felixneri8608]

Re brakes, they are carbon ceramics and work best on track (as does the car itself). Not the best on road and/or damp.

[@harryarteza3435]

Drove it three times, wanted to buy one - but just couldn't pull trigger. I sat this against McLaren GT, Artura, DBS, and Roma. The MC20 was possibly my pick from outside the car - but didn't compare well when driving, especially at lower speeds. That engine was just awful when pottering around.
