I have a 2014 sport and owned it for 2 years now. My experience ... I have not had any issues with it. Eats petrol like its nothing ... Eats tires as it's nothing ... around 800 for all 4 pirelli. Had to replace brake disk / pads which set me back around 3k. Service and maintenance is expensive Just like all good things in life , experiences cost money. I dont regret it , I love it and it's my daily driver. I also decat the mufflers , makes the sound pop a lot more. Gets lots of attention but also subtle Same league as other exotic / super cars. Yes its heavy and doesnt have a super quick 0 60 but then again I'm not a speed racer .... Amaizing car for anyone that wants to get one and for the price its more than worth it in my opinion.
@@sjb3460 good luck with your sales position ! It's hard to say because the car sells itself ?! But I would say be polite, know everything about the car , the good , the bad . Know the history behind it , how it got the trident , how the trident are in the wheels and can be seen in other parts. It's just cool little gimmics . I think being enthusiastic about the thing you are selling will defo come across. The engine is still one of the best sounding. The tires do burn out quickly even with calibration but that's to be expected from a 2tone car. Its also how you drive it. I think for showing off, driving in style maserati is the one at a fraction of the cost of a ferrari . In terms of bad experiences from sales .... I wanted to buy an audi r8 . I got at the dealership and was told that was issue with my booking and that car is not available. Wasted my time and I went there with intent to buy so they lost my business. Another time I found out the dealership miss represented the information online vs when I got there. On the website it said 1 owners. When I got there to sign the papers it was 5+ owners. I walked out. I guess logistics issue but to me flags . Hope this helps

I have a grandturmiso sport 2010. I’m scared to daily drive mine. I drive about 5K miles per year, what is your maintenance cost? I only had recent oil changed, and a small evaporation leak which cost about $450. Currently I am heavily investing in stock. I’m thinking about selling the car and using it for a down payment on a real estate investment which should gross about $10K per month.
@@martinrodriguez7859 These cars don't like to sit, so if you keep it, drive it way more than 5k a year. They are actually better vehicles when you drive them regularly. I do about 20k to 25k a year on mine!
One of these was parked next to me, today. I was amazed at how beautiful it is, I believe it was the 2019 model. I have a 2006 VW GTI, so I was very surprised that an exotic was parked next to me. It’s a nice size car with very beautiful lines, and carbon fiber accents in all the right places; sexy, like a beautiful woman.
I just bought a 2018 GT sport with 20k miles. I the sounds this car makes. Taking it back to the dealer for a lil popping sound when turning the wheel and accelerating. Other wise very happy with the vehicle.
After my DB Vantage and many Jaguars i am driving this Masi for a year now, putting 20 d miles on it and so far it s been by far the best car i ever had !! Be shure if you get one to buy it from a Certified Maserati Dealer ! What you save from used car lot dealer you will spend later by repairs 😀 pobalby one of the best and most beautiful cars, coupe ever made !!
Glad to help! It really depends on how much you drive it, how well the owner before you took care of it, where the car is from, and what work has already been done to the car. If there's no problems with those 4, you should be good to go. I'm roughly 5'8 and I have a good amount of head room. Anyone 6 feet though might have a rough time so definitely test drive one out first before you make a commitment
I just bought a 2014 for all the reasons you listed. A little under 30K miles and paid $37K at the local Maserati dealer. So the car is clean, nice shape. I was really nervous about buying it, but the more videos like this I watch the better I feel about it.
Congrats on your new GT! It's an amazing car and from what I've seen they don't have too many issues with them. I miss mine a lot and I had way less maintenance problems than the 2010 BMW M3 I had which also had a V8.
Thanks for the advice. I have a generic scan tool that works with my US made vehicles, but I have heard the Maserati's need a specialty scan tool for most stuff. Can you recommend one? @@603adventures9
I have a 14 MC and I think it corners pretty good actually. I also have a Ghibli and my GT feels very nimble and light in comparison, Ghibli feels much heavier than it actually is vs GT. That said, I do think the Ghibli also corners pretty good considering it's size and weight. They are fun and easy cars to drive as you know.
@@harrygreen9548 i would definitely suggest test driving one. The GT is a completely different experience from the ghibli. The GT though is a fantastic car and super easy to drive but obviously compared to other cars out there, it cant take corners that quickly
I’m looking at buying a used one with 30k miles on it. It’s 2012 in great condition and it’s better than financing a new one because u said that haven’t changed anything interior wise. And it’s going for 30k before taxes
That's a pretty good deal if it is clean. Definitely get a full inspection at a shop that isnt related to the dealer and knows how to handle exotics cars. If everything checks out and if similar cars on the market are more then by all means get it if that's what you want!
Good Reviews Richard. I also Love the Maserati Granturismo 🔱 as my daily driver, great space, comfortable for any ride. Yes I do all the maintenance on mine, Robin and I have fully installed an Android touch screen (see our video in our chanel) with front and rear cameras plus a 3rd always recording while driving dash camera. Normal Guy Super Car "Dan & Megan" have gave it great reviews, Dan does all his work and has an amazing video for a lot of DYI simple and even complicated stuff. I do all the maintenance in all my and friends cars. I say "Maserati Everyday 🔱". Thanks for sharing, great video.
Thanks for the kind words Johnny! It seems like there are a lot of Maserati guys who don't mind getting their hands dirty and doing the maintenance themselves which is a fantastic thing! If I were to upgrade anything else on the car, it would probably be the suspension and them after I want to give that Android touch screen a try.
even the early 2010s ones look good and pretty close to the newer ones and some are listed in the 30K range... not bad getting a gt maserati sports car for the price of a new fully loaded toyota camry.
I saw an all black 2008 one that looked pretty good too. I saw another 2008 that looked old but the 2008 that I mentioned first, looked more modern. Owner probably gave it a facelift himself.
Thanks terry! I've made several videos about this but just to share come key points: - Coolant hose located behind the engine goes out which is $1000 to fix - Servicing your car at the dealership can cost up to $1500 whereas doing it yourself can cost about $500 - This thing eats tires - Coolant reservoir tends to crack with some GTs and needs to be replaced - wheel bearings go out (depending how hard the car was driven before) Other than that, there isn't too much else. I've had two GTs and both were pretty solid. The first one only had the coolant hose leak issue. The second one had a lot more issues but I knew those going in since the car was treated poorly beforehand
Thanks for the information. I am wondering now about how many miles on a set of tires? Also did you get the camber offset changed to 0 or close to it. I do change or work on all of my vehicles. The basics oil change, filters, rotate tires, grease fittings and if need be pack bearings. Do you also think that the mc version is better maintenance wise?
@@terrypetersen4039 The first one I bought ate the tires because of the camber but with this one I made sure it was close to 0 as possible. With the first GT I got around 20k miles and with this one, when I hit 20k I still had plenty of tread left over. Really depends how you drive and how the camber is set. In regards to maintenance, I think the MC is better because you don't have to deal with the Skyhook suspension if it were to go bad on the regular GT
Richard Cuico oh i get you, they also sell wireless license plate backup cameras that connect to the iPad through Bluetooth which is what I’m getting, but whatever works for you bro!
If you have good relations with a shop that specializes in Italian cars it should be reasonable. I did some of the servicing myself too so my maintenance was relatively cheap for the maserati compared to other people
Hi. I just got one. It's a 2012 with some maintenance issue, but I had 4 months of warranty on the dealer. In my case I was able to find a pretty good mechanic that made a full inspection. He found a problem with an oil hose, like you said. I will look into to your video.
Is there a difference in exhaust sound between the MC Stradale and Granturismo Sport? From RUclips videos it seems like the Granturismo Sport is louder on cold start. I may be wrong but is the MC Stradales valves closed during startup?
from my experience the MCs are typically slightly louder but at the end of the day they're pretty much the same car with just a different look. If you were to find a TRUE MC Stradale though (never delivered to the US) then you'll for sure be able to tell the difference
At the dealer that's about $1500 for minor maintenance and $2500 major, minor on year 1, major on year 2. If you do the maintenance yourself an oil change is about 150 for parts, some other parts are harder to source outside of the dealer. Brakes are 2/3k at least at the dealer.
thanks brotha! One of my friends is an audi tech and I've asked him about the R8. The R8s are a hit or miss, if you have problems with it, it'll be really expensive to fix. Best to stay away unless you have the money to fix it. Preferably go for the V10 and a get the manual for less issues. The jags have a lot of issues as well. NormalSupercarGuy has one he rented out for turo and it has only experienced problems from what I saw. The GT is probably the one you'll experience less issues with (trying not to be bias here). The issues in my opinion are easier to handle even if they might be pricey. Compared to the other two though, you're less likely to have issues unless you drive it on the daily like me and you got a real lemon
I really appreciate your comments. You know your stuff, no doubt. At the same time l would love to collect a dollar for everytime the word 'like' is used in this entertaining presentation . 🤔
You mentioned that there is a guy in youtube that makes videos on this cars reliability, can i know who it is? I am looking to buy a maserati Gt as well Thanks alot
The car is pretty reliable as I've had two and would definitely get a 3rd. The issue with this black one was due to the neglect from the previous owner. For the first MC I had, there was a coolant hose that broke but other than that, it was all your typical maintenance. If you know what to look for it's pretty easy to spot whether or not the one you're getting is good or bad. I would personally not touch anything older than 2012
that's a tough choice indeed. You can't really go wrong either way as both have their pros and cons. I might go with the vette since it's cheaper to maintain and there's a lot of things you can do with the car in terms of mods. Also, you probably wont feel as bad to drive it everyday. The older Maseratis are uncharted territory for me so I can't strongly recommend them
The problem with the older Maseratis are the valve variators. Search it up and read about it, it causes a dry and rattling start, not good for the engine. If you wish to own cheaper Maserati Granturismo 🔱, plan to have that job completed. Then it would be well worth. If you wish the newer look front bumper, just install a newer one. For the price you can haggle a 08, it will leave you with tons of upgrades options. The only drawback now that the engine would be a 4.2L and not the latest 4.7L with about 450HPs. Corvette a total bargain and easy to upgrade, yet, only two seats.
Dope car .i think they should have kept this model and got rid of the ghibli. The gran ties IMO was an aggressive sleeper I feel they could have put an all digital dash touch’s screen. And upgrade the motor v8 520and a v10 600hp
You're totally right about that. The ghibili is just such a weird car nor does it hold its value very well. They should of just massively updated the GT ages ago. They barely started doing it now but it's too late
@@RichardCuico exactly ppl actually liked the gt atleast let it be able to rival the m6 s63 coupe. Just needed a few tweaks they could have kept the body the same
definitely breaking necks when I go by. Mostly the reactions have been pretty positive. A few thumbs up here and there while people from afar just look. I did back a video back in the day where i purposely acted like a douche so I did get some snares here and there but most of the time people just love how the car looks and sounds.
I don't let other people driving my cambiocorsa coupe because most of the time they either can't start the engine or park the car with the wrong gear...
The repair/parts costs is on par with Ferrari, so for the average person to purchase this car may not be a wise choice unless money is no object. Also the Gran Turismo is notorious for being extremely unreliable. Still undoubtedly a beautiful car.
Don't sell the gt...there will never be an engine like that again...I have the Mc convertible and I just bought a mint 11 qp GTS, the new one doesn't do it for me and these cars were low production and will be classics
I was strongly thinking about it but ya you're right. these cars are going to be a collectible one day. Right now finances were kind of tight which got me worried but I I'm sure I can work this out just fine. I'm definitely making a lot of maserati content soon so be sure to stay tuned!
Love mine best 25k ever spent do own work buyy scan tool reset oil light ect save 1000s $ Maseratis are reliable long stay away from older dou select transmission
I am really on the fence on getting the GT. However reliability and parts availability is my top concern. I will want to daily drive. Can you please advice. Also where do you get all the parts from?
I daily drive my car and last year I drove it about 100 miles a day crazy enough and I had 0 issues. However, just recently I had to replace a wheel bearing but that's due to the age of the car and the neglect that the first owner did. I get all my parts from scuderiaparts or just look on ebay if they happen to be cheaper. In my area, there are quite a few exotic mechanics so servicing can be fairly cheap compared to doing it at a dealership.
@@RichardCuico hi, i live in LA are too, would you mind telling me which exotic mechanic do you recommend? And i read on your other comment that it better to ask shop check it, do you mean by bring the mechanic to the dealer? Thanks!
@@dvss7459 if you're looking to buy one, I would ask a shop that specializes in exotics to do a PPI (pre purchase inspection) so that going in, you'll know exactly what's wrong with the car. They can go to the dealer or you can have the dealer bring the car to them. For a shop, I used to take my car to Gi Automotive but they have since shut down.
Would you recommend this as a first car? Im talking about 2013-2016+ BTW Im living in Germany so insurance wont be big pain in ass and they are quite cheap here.
Yes and no. Yes because it's a car that is relatively easy to drive, has supercar looks, has an amazing sound, the 2013-2016s are pretty reliable, and it's actually pretty comfortable. No because if you have this as your first car, you won't be able to enjoy all the other cheaper cars that are out there. But then again you still have a lot of other cars that are much more expensive that you can look forward to lol
@@DenisTheRealMenace as someone who has just passed their test dont get a car like this. I was in the same mindset wanting the fastest and coolest car I could for the money but trust me once you start driving you dont want something like this. In the end I got a 2020 a class which is great but even still I worry about crashing it. If you have the same kind of budget as I did, just get something small and new like an a class or a 1 series. Dont go for this.
@@trumpdump20 I changed my mindset a bit so I think I will look for something like an S7 2012/2014 just because I have driven 200+ PS cars before and I really got used to the power. So something like an S7 would probably be nice to have for 4/5 years.
depends on where you drive it lol i live in pretty much the beverly hills of florida so it does a good job blending in with exotics but also standing out from the everyday Mercedes, bmw, or lexus
@@stevetruong3190 You're completely right about that. In Beverly Hills, it doesn't grab too much attention but like with any nice car it'll grab some lookers. Especially when you put the exhaust in sport mode. In my hometown however, I'll get a good amount and people driving alongside give me thumbs up. I haven't had unwanted attention yet though.
@@AR-il7gn those are really good choices. I've only heard good things about porsches. I haven't looked into GTRs too much but either way you go, you'll have an awesome time!
I can see you don't make to many videos. Anyways I was going to tell you not to hang out with a lot of people or don't go to dances or anywhere with lots of people because of the virus. I'm not trying to stop you from doing what you want man I'm just trying to not let noone catch the virus if you know what I mean cause I don't know how to say it.
thanks for the concern brotha! I'm not trying to go into places with a ton of people and when I do I usually wear my mask. In two of the upcoming videos though, unfortunately, I'll be around a lot of people but i'm trying to minimize it as much as I can.
Ya it's hit or miss with these things. My last one was super reliable while this one is experiencing a lot of issues. The servicing is pretty expensive too unless you know how to do it on your own.
I have a 2014 sport and owned it for 2 years now. My experience ...
I have not had any issues with it.
Eats petrol like its nothing ...
Eats tires as it's nothing ... around 800 for all 4 pirelli.

Service and maintenance is expensive
Just like all good things in life , experiences cost money. I dont regret it , I love it and it's my daily driver.
I also decat the mufflers , makes the sound pop a lot more.
Gets lots of attention but also subtle

At the dealer that's about $1500 for minor maintenance and $2500 major, minor on year 1, major on year 2. If you do the maintenance yourself an oil change is about 150 for parts, some other parts are harder to source outside of the dealer.
Brakes are 2/3k at least at the dealer.
Good talk....good talk.
What is the best choice you think? Maserati granturismo s, audi r8 v8 or a jaguar f type v6. Great content by the way keep it up!
thanks brotha! One of my friends is an audi tech and I've asked him about the R8. The R8s are a hit or miss, if you have problems with it, it'll be really expensive to fix. Best to stay away unless you have the money to fix it. Preferably go for the V10 and a get the manual for less issues. The jags have a lot of issues as well. NormalSupercarGuy has one he rented out for turo and it has only experienced problems from what I saw. The GT is probably the one you'll experience less issues with (trying not to be bias here). The issues in my opinion are easier to handle even if they might be pricey. Compared to the other two though, you're less likely to have issues unless you drive it on the daily like me and you got a real lemon
@@RichardCuico how do you feel about Maserati GT's vs 911/caymans
@@mitch8769 911/caymans. Far more reliable imo, have far mpre aftermarket parts you can get if you are on the budget, like fcpeuro site
Granturismo s the best
Vincent V cayman and 911 awesome cars but do not get the looks of the Granturismo. The sound and looks are intoxicating. Such a wonderful car
I'm getting a 2013 GT MC this week. Freaking out
congrats dude! be sure to share some pics and videos of it!
@@RichardCuico for sure, thanks for all ur vids. There are not many out there that shows the day to day experience..
You will love it! Wonderful car
@@MetroCollectablesandvlogs how did you afford it?
@@rev8716 onlyfans 🤣
That car Design to drive for aways I don’t know why in America people think it’s short Distance drive cars
I have an issue with my 2008 Gran Turismo GT stuck in fourth gear any advice
I really appreciate your comments.
You know your stuff, no doubt.
At the same time l would love to collect a dollar for everytime the word 'like' is used in this entertaining presentation . 🤔
STOP PUTTING THE GT IN THE SUPER CAR NOMENCLATURE. IT IS NOT A SUPER CAR!!! IT IS AN EXOTIC.
#Maseratiadvice best to figure any way to stay in compatibility when needing vehicles parts.
Amazing on Gas it sounds wow
You mentioned that there is a guy in youtube that makes videos on this cars reliability, can i know who it is?
I am looking to buy a maserati Gt as well
Thanks alot
The car is pretty reliable as I've had two and would definitely get a 3rd. The issue with this black one was due to the neglect from the previous owner. For the first MC I had, there was a coolant hose that broke but other than that, it was all your typical maintenance. If you know what to look for it's pretty easy to spot whether or not the one you're getting is good or bad. I would personally not touch anything older than 2012
MC Stradale or nothing else
I couldn't agree with you more!
From my experience take care of this car and it will take care of you .
0:50 is a message to your tax accountant. And I'd do the same thing!
Torn between getting an 08 GranTurismo or a 08 Corvette Z06..: hmmm
that's a tough choice indeed. You can't really go wrong either way as both have their pros and cons. I might go with the vette since it's cheaper to maintain and there's a lot of things you can do with the car in terms of mods. Also, you probably wont feel as bad to drive it everyday. The older Maseratis are uncharted territory for me so I can't strongly recommend them
The problem with the older Maseratis are the valve variators. Search it up and read about it, it causes a dry and rattling start, not good for the engine. If you wish to own cheaper Maserati Granturismo 🔱, plan to have that job completed. Then it would be well worth. If you wish the newer look front bumper, just install a newer one. For the price you can haggle a 08, it will leave you with tons of upgrades options. The only drawback now that the engine would be a 4.2L and not the latest 4.7L with about 450HPs. Corvette a total bargain and easy to upgrade, yet, only two seats.
$40k C7 Stingray Z51 2LT skip the Z06. You’ll love it
L0ve The S0und When You Downshift😅
dude it's the best!
@@RichardCuico Imagine The Straight Piped GT😂😍😍
@@waqasahmed6214 bro that would be incredible!
Dope car .i think they should have kept this model and got rid of the ghibli. The gran ties IMO was an aggressive sleeper I feel they could have put an all digital dash touch’s screen. And upgrade the motor v8 520and a v10 600hp
You're totally right about that. The ghibili is just such a weird car nor does it hold its value very well. They should of just massively updated the GT ages ago. They barely started doing it now but it's too late
@@RichardCuico exactly ppl actually liked the gt atleast let it be able to rival the m6 s63 coupe. Just needed a few tweaks they could have kept the body the same
@@RichardCuico the design of the car was ahead of everybody just need a update in technology and an updated motor 480 for base and 580-600 for Gts
how bad was ur insurance with this car every month?
What are the reactions like? do people still super impressed, thinking your driving it? breaking necks?
definitely breaking necks when I go by. Mostly the reactions have been pretty positive. A few thumbs up here and there while people from afar just look. I did back a video back in the day where i purposely acted like a douche so I did get some snares here and there but most of the time people just love how the car looks and sounds.
@@RichardCuico thanks for the reply, subscribed nice videos
idk why i’m watching all of these videos i’m scared to merge onto a highway💃💃
I don't let other people driving my cambiocorsa coupe because most of the time they either can't start the engine or park the car with the wrong gear...
hahaha ya people get pretty nervous when driving cars they're not used to and make mistakes
MC20 is a epic supercar 👌
Was definitely considering a granturismo, beautiful car and that V8 👌
I got the ghibli I get the part in the dealer but I got my boy doing the work he work for Ferrari
The repair/parts costs is on par with Ferrari, so for the average person to purchase this car may not be a wise choice unless money is no object. Also the Gran Turismo is notorious for being extremely unreliable. Still undoubtedly a beautiful car.
Don't sell the gt...there will never be an engine like that again...I have the Mc convertible and I just bought a mint 11 qp GTS, the new one doesn't do it for me and these cars were low production and will be classics
I was strongly thinking about it but ya you're right. these cars are going to be a collectible one day. Right now finances were kind of tight which got me worried but I I'm sure I can work this out just fine. I'm definitely making a lot of maserati content soon so be sure to stay tuned!
Love mine best 25k ever spent do own work buyy scan tool reset oil light ect save 1000s $ Maseratis are reliable long stay away from older dou select transmission
What year is this Rich ??? It’s a classic “
this one is a 2012 but I'd recommend getting a 2013 instead. Less problems!
I am really on the fence on getting the GT. However reliability and parts availability is my top concern. I will want to daily drive. Can you please advice. Also where do you get all the parts from?
I daily drive my car and last year I drove it about 100 miles a day crazy enough and I had 0 issues. However, just recently I had to replace a wheel bearing but that's due to the age of the car and the neglect that the first owner did. I get all my parts from scuderiaparts or just look on ebay if they happen to be cheaper. In my area, there are quite a few exotic mechanics so servicing can be fairly cheap compared to doing it at a dealership.
@@RichardCuico hi, i live in LA are too, would you mind telling me which exotic mechanic do you recommend? And i read on your other comment that it better to ask shop check it, do you mean by bring the mechanic to the dealer? Thanks!
@@dvss7459 if you're looking to buy one, I would ask a shop that specializes in exotics to do a PPI (pre purchase inspection) so that going in, you'll know exactly what's wrong with the car. They can go to the dealer or you can have the dealer bring the car to them. For a shop, I used to take my car to Gi Automotive but they have since shut down.
Is doing the service on your own hard? #loveandHUNDREDS
Is the mc stradale a good Maserati to get?
Hell yeah ..careful though. You’ll break a lot of necks
What year is your gt?
mines a 2012!
What is it like to be sitting in the back?
it's a bit tight not going to lie but still comfortable enough for fairly long journeys if you have to be there
Would you recommend this as a first car? Im talking about 2013-2016+
BTW Im living in Germany so insurance wont be big pain in ass and they are quite cheap here.
Yes and no. Yes because it's a car that is relatively easy to drive, has supercar looks, has an amazing sound, the 2013-2016s are pretty reliable, and it's actually pretty comfortable. No because if you have this as your first car, you won't be able to enjoy all the other cheaper cars that are out there. But then again you still have a lot of other cars that are much more expensive that you can look forward to lol
@@RichardCuico Ok thanks!
@@DenisTheRealMenace as someone who has just passed their test dont get a car like this. I was in the same mindset wanting the fastest and coolest car I could for the money but trust me once you start driving you dont want something like this. In the end I got a 2020 a class which is great but even still I worry about crashing it. If you have the same kind of budget as I did, just get something small and new like an a class or a 1 series. Dont go for this.
@@trumpdump20 I changed my mindset a bit so I think I will look for something like an S7 2012/2014 just because I have driven 200+ PS cars before and I really got used to the power. So something like an S7 would probably be nice to have for 4/5 years.
@@DenisTheRealMenace whats your budget?
It was a Chinese torture...with “like” being said..”I was.like...sitting in this like car...”..had to switch to another RUclips offering
How many miles do you have now?
a ton ahhaha almost 62,000 miles
Very slow oniy for the sound
Best value bar none
10:15 U were in Oxnard. wtf idk how I caught that😂
hahaha I don't go down to oxnard too much anymore but you might see me here and there eventually!
Supercar??
It’s a seat 💺 not a chair 🪑
thanks for the correction!
Hey man good stuff I wanna get a GT as wekl
Make more videos!
1) Anyone who begins a video with "what-up" and wearing his cap backwards isn't qualified to evaluate a luxury car. 2) Quit saying "like".
thanks for the tips man! Also, thanks for tuning in
What!!
Lmao y would that even matter daily driven exotics literally drives Lambos and buggaties with just a shirt and hat smh
Do u get attention driving this car?
depends on where you drive it lol i live in pretty much the beverly hills of florida so it does a good job blending in with exotics but also standing out from the everyday Mercedes, bmw, or lexus
@@stevetruong3190 You're completely right about that. In Beverly Hills, it doesn't grab too much attention but like with any nice car it'll grab some lookers. Especially when you put the exhaust in sport mode. In my hometown however, I'll get a good amount and people driving alongside give me thumbs up. I haven't had unwanted attention yet though.
I am thinking of getting this as a weekend car, RC 200T is my daily, 4 runner for the family
Considering this 911,GTR for under 40k
@@AR-il7gn those are really good choices. I've only heard good things about porsches. I haven't looked into GTRs too much but either way you go, you'll have an awesome time!
Bro I’m boutta be driving this bih as a senior in HS 😂
Actually kinda like get to a point. But like zzzzzzzzzz
I can see you don't make to many videos. Anyways I was going to tell you not to hang out with a lot of people or don't go to dances or anywhere with lots of people because of the virus. I'm not trying to stop you from doing what you want man I'm just trying to not let noone catch the virus if you know what I mean cause I don't know how to say it.
thanks for the concern brotha! I'm not trying to go into places with a ton of people and when I do I usually wear my mask. In two of the upcoming videos though, unfortunately, I'll be around a lot of people but i'm trying to minimize it as much as I can.
@@RichardCuico okay man be safe we all got to be safe. When people talk to you talk to them but maybe don't hand shake them.
You had to be from California... hope your house is not a garage
it’s not a super car. It’s a touring vehicle. Nonetheless super nice and beautiful
it's incredibly beautiful and i agree with you! It's awesome for long trips and sounds like sex!
Seems mad slow. I Looked up 0-60 times and 1/4 mile times on these turds, and they seem super slow. Sounds and looks amazing though!
It’s a GT car meant to tour at very high speeds 160/170/180 without braking a sweat. Get off your steroids pal.
@@ChicagoItalian ... I know it may hurt your feelings a little but facts don't care about your feelings. It's a turd stil..still... lol...
#Maseratispecialty.
Painful
they fall apart, thats why they r cheap
Ya it's hit or miss with these things. My last one was super reliable while this one is experiencing a lot of issues. The servicing is pretty expensive too unless you know how to do it on your own.
Wow 🇵🇭
