Massive congratulations on 10 years of STG
As a Granturismo S owner myself I can only say...I love the car...it looks amazing and the sound is simply amazing. Went on road trips all over Europe with it, the perfect grand tourer...
@@MVD792 same here my 4.7 was a dream car across Europe. No issues and 100% reliable. Sold it after 3 years with a £10k loss
@@askiff1415 Cool! I have mine since 2018 and just put it up for sale. Drove from Holland to Spain twice, Holland to Austria once and twice to Italy visiting the factory aswell. My last Eurotrip was last year driving from Amsterdam to Palermo, Sicily, and back. Great trip!
Lot of car but you will need to respect the servicing and maintenance costs. Don’t touch one without a full service book full of stamps and associated invoices 😂
Check out the disasters that M539 Restorations has had with his "cheap" GranTourismo.........
@@EvoraGT430is that one of his old videos?
2014 and up are rock solid 👍 but keep it up with the propaganda so prices remain low
@rvfinder7997 yoir bang on I love it. Just bought a 2014 new shape Quattroporte with the ferrari 3.8v8 twin turbo. Absolutely bargain because of stupid people still suggesting maserati are unreliable. Ferrari engines are one the most reliable engine you can buy
@@rvfinder7997 I owned a 4.7 for 3 years. It lost £10k in that time. Nothing ever went wrong and it was 100% reliable. Usual main dealer servicing was no issue apart from twice the price of my 911 servicing 😆. Drove across Europe a couple of time which is what it’s designed for.
Test drove the new one the other week
Sunday morning cartoons for car enthusiasts, you're the man Sam!
Maserati is the thinking man's Ferrari.
Noooo they’re gonna go up in price now!! This was my quiet dream car 😂
They definitely won't for another decade
Great video. While not a Gran Turismo, I own a 2006 GranSport with the CambioCorsa (single clutch automated manual) and it has so far been a great car. I’ve done around 5000 kms and all has been perfect so far. It’s lighter and smaller than the Gran Turismo, though only came in the 4.2 as opposed to the Gran Turismo that came in 4.2 and 4.7. Absolutely no regrets here and think it’s got to be one of the best cars for the money. Love it and plan to keep it long term!
Sam's review about the Granturismo Sport is really spot-on. I own a 2018 model and he is right about everything. It's a GT and absolutely not a sports car: more like a BMW 5 series with boatloads of Italian flair, which no competitor has!
Don't go for an MC Stradale, it makes zero sense to make a shouty pretending to be lightweight car out of this classy Gran Turismo.
Nothings cooler than saying "I have a Maserati" 😏
"I have a McLaren F1"?
@@EvoraGT430 Maserati rolls off the tongue better ;). Would make you feel like an Italian baller
Someone’s been watching too much dadcars 🤣 absolutely agree with him though, best value car pound for pound you can buy currently
Sam, I love the subject and purpose of this episode. I spent a week with a new GTS Quattroporte of same vintage and absolutely loved it. They sound like Pavarotti after three martinis, are Pininfarina beautiful, have enormous character and old world glory. Good for you to touch on mechanical footprints as so many casual used buyers are caught flat-footed.
I’m debating a Maserati or Porsche next to replace my model 3, I drive 4k miles per year but need 4 seats for the school run. This video helped!
Dude I am literally contemplating buying one, and one of my favourite RUclipsrs hits me with this lol. Not all heroes wear capes
I have a modified 2006 Maserati GranSport…and it’s perfect. Many many many haters out there who don’t know anything about the brand and simply hate. These are excellent high speed grand tourers…they’re meant to be driven hard and maintained meticulously….if there is anyone thinking about buying one off head machines…do it…you won’t stop smiling. You can even make these cars louder. Drive it, maintain it and you’ll never be bored.
I’ve recently bought a VERY cheap Quattroporte and so far, it is going very well
Sundays With Sam ☕️🐿
People who say maserati grantourismo is unreliable dont have a clue what they are talking about. Get one with the ZF box and its far more reliable than any BMW V8 or merc V8. Youll see this engine in quattroporte with well over 200k miles no problem. Bmw performance v8s struggle to see 100k miles
@@DaleSteel as I’ve had one I can agree with you.
These Gran Turismos are achingly gorgeous. I would look at it as, I'm getting a great deal, and the money I've saved will be used for maintenance and trouble shooting. Just don't go all in. Because it will be an enjoyable experience getting behind the wheel of this beauty if you've taken care of its Italian mechanical peculiarities. ✌️
The MC is definitely my next purchase. Rosso Magma or Bianco Fuji…….
Would love to see a long-term loaner of the new one for you to review!!!
I was between buying one of these or a PDK Boxster. I ultimately bought the Porsche and it’s great but could not stop thinking about the Italian V8!!
Good afternoon my friend , I love your vids always so exciting and the cars are what dreams are made of , You are a very lucky man xxx
Corrosion issue is limited to the front sub frame, and not horrendous to sort. Similar issues affect many modern cars.
Mechanically it’s a lot more reliable than an S6.3AMG Merc, which can leave you with a £60K bill for a new engine…
I also have a 991.1 GT4S, that I’ve owned from new, and the Maserati is far more reliable than that!
Performance air filter, sway bars, and coilovers make a significant positive difference to the performance and handling.
You get used to the dynamics though, it just requires a delicate touch at speed.
This easily is the best car I’ve ever owned, and I’ve had three 911s, two BMWs, and a TVR!
I have a 2012 Quattroporte S. It’s been great, and surprisingly reliable. I’ve needed a refurbed water pump and a window
Regulator in 5 years and 30k miles… can’t think of any modern car that I would prefer. Maybe a 612
Why suprising? That ferrari v8 is more reliable than a BMW M5 v8 or e92 m3 V8. That ferrari v8 is a very reliable engine. If you get the ZF gearbox then you've got an drive train more reliable just about any German counterpart.
It’s been my dream car since 2012.
Loved my 4.7 MC. Didnt love the servicing costs which were about 10% the value of the car at the time. Was a short love affair. 😅
Lovely lovely car. ‘66 plate was reliable. Beautiful. But. It was big (wide) and heavy. 3200gta was more fun.
I'd go for thd gen 2 Stradale, it has the rear seats. A Granturismo with no rear seats is useless. I think it's competition are cars with actually usable rear seats, Aston Martin Rapide, Ferrari 612, FF etc, not 2 seat sports cars like the F-Type.
What if it was converted to Manual? being that the transmission is already shown that it can be done in the Ferrari's. I think it could make this into an even more enjoyable and engaging drive!
The Quattroporte is on my list
Quite funny that you apologise for butchering the "pronounciation" of chiaro, when what you actually mean is "pronunciation".
😂
Love Sam and loves a mazzer gt
I've been considering these for a while but I just can't pull the trigger.
I think a used Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio makes more sense.
Lovely car, was looking at these a couple of years ago but went with a DB9 instead.
@@lukeshardlow768 I did the same as a friend had the DB9 but I chose the Maserati 😄
I can’t believe how heavy these cars are
Personally I feel the main problem with the gran turismo…is the supercharged jaguar xkr. Considering value for money, the more powerful and less expensive jaaaaag is the way I’d go!
They’re very different cars despite being similar on paper. The Jag just can’t compete for drama or emotion. It’s much more of a muscle car than the Maserati and whilst the 5.0L supercharged engine sounds good, the Maserati just sounds so much better
Is this not the quickest answer in utube history- “No” 😂 is it not as reliable as a McLaren and as expensive to service and repair as a Ferrari. But what it does have is it’s different and that has to be appreciated. A million BMW, Mercedes and Audi pass me by and I don’t notice, I’ll notice this and think “ Nice” but that’s more on it being different I’d not say it was an absolute looker. Nice setup with the Garage must be great working away with the view of the stock.
Buy a 2013 and above. I have owned 3 Maserati Granturismo Sports. They are amazing cars. Best car for the money on the market. They are Ferrari expensive to maintain.
Maserati will bring back NA V8 again?
I wonder why no one converted one to manual....that would have been cool....
M539 Restorations gave a Maserati Quattroporte a go. Complete disaster.
Completely different generation though, these are slightly better
That car had 300,000km. Go find an M5 or E63 that doesn’t need an engine replacement at that mileage
I did test drive a Ghibli S Q4. It sounded nice but interior wasn't nice at all and infotainment system was stone age.
The old boss had one, not a fan myself and his had an expensive repair bill
I'd take one over most Astons.
Stop the race , enjoy the GT
Dancing Sam strikes again.😂
No!! But definitely a looker.
until an oring somewhere on the engine needs replacing 64pence to buy then £5600 worth of work to fix it lol
Did you find the Abarths seating position abit awkward
It absolutely is and the more you drive it the more you fall in love with it...
@@vincentkr3w is it stable on the motorway and how do you solve the weird seating position when driving, did you have to install like an aftermarket seat lowering kit ?
Maserati and Austin Martin fall off a cliff with depreciation so the average guy can own them used.
Your channel is a breath of fresh air. Keep on keeping us happy with your content.🐹🙉🌹
I've always heard they are money pits. Lots of mechanical problems. I'd rather buy a cheap Porsche.
No, no, no…. Late jag xkr is the better car and even better looking 🎉
No
Owned a Spyder 4200 GT for 5 years, A Maser is not even half a Ferrari, alas.
What put you off it ZZ?
@@johnjoseph911 ZZ?
Personally. Biggest issue for me with these is the Quattroporte 😂 its still as sexy now as it was new 🤌🤌
I've never understood this car, just doesn't look good to me! Only like the sound
C63
Der Moment, in dem man merkt, dass die Kommentare unter einem Video noch witziger sein können als das Video selbst🧡
rather have my F type
Wife?!?!! What the hell, I thought this guy was flaming.
He's just British.
Dolce vita
just get her the car already !!!! shes your WIFE !! and the mother of your child for heavens sake, id say shes earnt that maserati a milion times over :)
Money pits.
Also i Own a Yellow Abarth like that in the Video , sadly though mine has had to be rebuilt lol , clutch gearbox , shocks all went wrong after a few months , I think i just got scammed as the price was very cheap guess how much i paid ? £3500 lol so you can imagine the state it is in haha
Please buy my cl63 amg :))
No, not at all. I have such a strong distaste for these cars (especially the GranTurismo). I’m sure Maserati has its audience obviously, but their cars just look so appalling to me. There’s just so many cars I would rather get at a similar price or less. Obviously this is all purely from my perspective and someone can say the same about my particular tastes. I think the best thing about it is that they’re relatively cheap, especially compared to what their retail typically is. So it’s a lot more obtainable to those who really want it, and I doubt the desire for these is going to skyrocket any time soon. That aside, this is an amazing collection of cars (both new and old) and color choices.
Edit: Again, relatively cheap for the car itself, not so much the price to repair. Basically paying close to Ferrari prices.
Quatroportte. Is better
Ugly looking car in my opinion
500$ max 😂
No.
Nah is not.. best sports car you can buy for that kind of money is a C6 Corvette Z06... even rarer for ya'll in Europe even though I'm sure is more than 15K, for that you can get a C5 and still and hell a lot more than that car.
Or a Grand Sport, even "cheaper"
Can’t buy a C6 in the uk for the money of a GT
Corvette LMAO that is made of Plastic American trash , Maserati , Ferrari , Lamborghini , All much nicer , I live in Ascot in the UK i have a Maserati dealer up the road from me and trust me they are better than any American car , there is one neighbour who owns a Mustang and he hates it and that new Mustang EV is just wrong ! lol Italian cars are much better built , finest leather used in the seats and just properly screwed together , Also i have a 500 Abarth in yellow like the one in this video and even that tiny baby Ferrari is more fun than US cars.
Make Maserati Great again
Rather an unreliable italian beauty than a cheaply made muscle car
You've gotta be joking...a plastic fantastic Corvette?
5:55 flappy paddle is one of the most cringeworthy Clarksonism. As well as the frankly inaccurate “listen to the wastegates”
10:36 hahahahahah living the vida loka *laughs in brazilian* is that a spoiler?
