I’m 66 years old, I’ve owned 52 cars over the years and my QP is without doubt the finest !
You sound like a bit of a legend! I hope to have owned a similar amount of cars but I better get busy to match those numbers. I honestly wasn’t expecting to enjoy this car as much as I did, I’d be very happy to buy one when the time comes.
I’m on 25 cars and this QP is the finest all rounder I’ve ever had.
Im 50 ive owned 200 cars and ive driven everything.This is the best 4 door car without question
Have you ever had a S-Class or Jaguar XJ? How is it compared to the others?
@@mrporsche4236also better than S-Class or Rolls Royce or Jaguar XJ? Why is that?
As the proud owner of a Maserati GranTurismo 4.7S, I can’t recommend them enough. You’re essentially owning a 4 door Ferrari here. Pure Italian thoroughbred. Love this review.
I’d love to feature a Gran Turismo on the channel! That’s been a bucket list car for me personally 😍 I hope to feature every Maserati on the channel! 👏
this is the best revue i have seen on the Quattroporte ...I just bought one this month on a 2006 plate for £11000 with 3200 miles on the clock ! ....oh my god , if it only lasts me 6 months it would be worth every penny !! the quality is outstanding inside and out ,i have been a jag driver for years but this baby takes the biscuit !! 4.2 Ltr Ferrari engine 400 BHP absolutely beautiful insid and out !.....my life ambition was to own a Maserati and this is the one !! I foooookin love it !!!.....................bit thirsty though !! :)
Sounds like a great deal you got there! 👏 thanks for the kind words, really appreciate it :)
Inspired by dadcars - 2 kids, 2 year old and 11 year old so today I bought a 2007 Maserati Quattroporte 4.2 v8 Exec GT
Brilliant channel!!
Amazing! Makes me so happy to read this 🤗 join the Dadcars Facebook group and post a pic of your car! I’d love to see it
@@dadcars I will, once it's serviced and detailed ;)
@@nordicwooddesign3678 can’t wait to see it 👏
That’s amazing! Will put a smile on your face whenever you drive it as well as looking back at it when you park
I love that you get the kids involved, it's not just talking to the camera. Wholesome Petrolhead content is what the world needs more of!
Also, fully approve of the Jelly Snakes as a sweet snack, regularly drop a bag for my nieces to share (Not all at once) along with a bag for adults to chomp down on (Between three of us, we do go through a bag in one go).
🤣 jelly snakes are great! This video was one of the most memorable to film 🥲
Mate, your passion shines through and the kids just add another dimension. Awesome channel and can’t wait for your next one.
Thank you so much Jon, I absolutely loved this car. The next one is a car I think you’ll enjoy 😉
Love how your kids are doing their own thing as the car rumbles. My three year old son snoozes a few minutes after I put him in the backseat of a California, as if the sweet V8 NA roar is his sleepy music
I’ve found this as well! Don’t even need to switch the valves in my car to silent mode, it’s like it’s soothing somehow 😴
Another quality review/road test! Dads cars is the future!
What a lovely comment thank you my man!!! 🙏 tell a friend! I have some VERY exciting Dadcars lined up in the coming weeks!
@@dadcars Also have you tested a Gran Turismo yet? Just got mine and struggling to get my belt child seat for my 4 year old in back due the shape of the seats.
@@DippyB no not yet but hoping to! Just need a willing owner 😊 I’ve got an assortment of childseats so I’m confident I could make it work!
I’ve got exactly the same model as you. ZF 4.2 with the flappy paddles and the same grille. Charcoal with cream interior but different wood and different colours on the dash and steering wheel.
I absolutely love it and it’s one of the best cars I’ve had and very reliable. Engine is absolutely superb. Design wise it’s a work of art.
Anyone who thinks these aren’t good just doesn’t have a clue.
Great choice! How much per year had yours cost in maintenance?
@@dadcars so far it’s been extremely reliable. Other than routine servicing that costs about $450 NZD here at an independent, the only thing I’ve done is the cam cap modification (and that was my choice to do that preemptively) which cost about $1500 NZD all up.
What a fantastic review and video. I love your daughter's reactions and comments as well. Awesome! 👍😊
Ah thank you 🙏😊 I have a border terrier as well, he’s only made little cameos in a couple videos 😅
Good on you man!!! First video I see and subscribed right away! I have a 2010 Sport GTS and I love it to bits. Happy to see people make content with these cars.
Awesome! GTS 😍 that’s a very cool car 👏 fell in love with these when I filmed this video
Beautiful family mate. I have a 2016 Gran Turismo (same engine and platform) and I love it. It is not uncommon to see Gen 5 QPs with over 130,000KMs on the odometer, all original parts (except the wearable items like belts). Look into the extended factory warranty at your local Maserati dealership as they recently started covering cars for up to 10 years or 150,000KMs (whichever comes first). Your QP may or may not qualify for the extended warranty from Maserati but never hurts to check. Cheers.
Thank you 🙏 that’s impressive isn’t it! Hopefully I’m featuring a gran tursimo on the channel very soon! So subscribe and keep an eye out for it. I’ve done videos on the 3200gt and a Ghibli if you’ve not seen them worth a watch ☺️
@@dadcars Years ago I leased a 2015 Maserati QP (the newer Twin Turbo V6 engines) I did not like it but I love the Gran Turismo. At the time my (now ex wife) was not a fan of a two door car so due to me being married (at that time) I decided to get a sedan as it was more practical. Now that I divorced that hag and I can enjoy life again I decided to get a GT.🤣
@@VanquishMediaDE big part of this channel is about not compromising 👏 if you can in theory get by with a 2 door then go for it! 😅
Thanks for the info. Unfortunately mine is 14 years old now so wouldn’t qualify. Loving it though and can’t help but smile every time I drive it, plus that’s moment when I look back in the car park
@@JonWhitworth I would not worry to much about it mate, the Gran Turismo is pretty reliable for exotic car standards, just please keep an ear out for the camshaft variarator rattle noise (upon cold engine start up), it only effects about 1 in 20 F136 engines but other than that you should be good to go.
Beautiful car dude 😎 sweet kids lucky man ! I have five of my own in total lol ! And a big jeep Cherokee good luck with your channel👍
Thanks 🙏 I love the cherokees! They’ve been cool since way before SUVs became popular 😎
These are lovely, yep the GTS is lottery win unicorn, fab video.
Thank you my man, it won my heart when I drove it
Congrats on the great channel! I was watching a JayEmm video and had to come check out your content… amazing little ones too. This could be my new favourite channel as a petrol head dad! Now, off to the classifieds!
Oh brilliant! I love Jayemm 👏 welcome! Got lots of videos already and more to come 😜
Jayemm is the worst car reviewer I have ever seen, so much waffle, it never ends.
The Maserati is a stylish dad car without question. Really a great choice . Excellent content
It looks sounds and feels so much better in person as well 🙌 another maser video coming very soon!
Great videos! I'm now a dad with a driving teenager. She shared my passion when little like your girls, but it has faded with age. I was never brave enough to venture into the Italian car arena, looked at the Quattroporte, but stayed safe with the Germans. Just bought a 99 MB C43 to try and improve the driver education and maybe reignite some car interest with a cool car as she has struggled with the cool, but very large Panamera and is overwhelmed with my wife's manual VW GTI. Can't wait to see your future videos. Keep up the great the work!
Awesome! I love mercs, I’ve had Vitos for the last 10 years now 😎 not as nice as your C43 I’m sure but reliable as anything.
Got here from Jayemm. Always have time for a QP review. Daddy cool.
Thanks Rob! If you like these V8s you may like tonight’s new video 😎
I can proudly say I'm a new subscriber to Dadcars🏎️🏎️
👏🙌 welcome!
This is the first video i have seen on your channel, I love it!
Awesome! I’m glad you found us! So many cool videos you can watch 🤗
Just caught up with this video and had to watch twice because of your eldest daughter, she is a star I couldn't take my eyes off her antics and expressions, she reminds me of my granddaughter 👍🏼
The sugary jello candy is absolutely captivating!
Great video, your enthusiasm is infectious. All the best growing a successful channel. Came here from JayEmm btw if that makes any difference
Ps. The "can someone get me out here" at the end made me chuckle
Thanks Jim! I’ve started added outtakes at the end as I get some lovely real moments with the little ones during the filming 😅 got another maser video coming out tomorrow 😉
Subscribed thanks to JayEmm video. You have already found the best answer in the Maser QP! I own an '86 QPIII as well as GrandTurismo S and GrandCabrio S which would be great if you had 3. But with 4... QP all the way. Or maybe a Porsche Cayenne Turbo would do 🙂 Great video! Best of luck Ben. Dad of 3 here, a bit older as my youngest is 15 now, but appreciate your enthusiasm.
Hang on you don’t own all 3 Maseratis at once?! Thanks for the kind message! Check out my video later today it’s 5pm uk time… I think you’ll like it 😉
Great review, as always. Delightful kids! The Quattroporte from this era is the best design they came out with for a 4-door, 4-seater.
I agree, I’m not as in love with the latest facelift.
Damn - that engine sounds good 👌
It was truly glorious 🥰
Subbed and shared, owned one for 9 years now and love it have done the nc500 7 times now
Wow! 👏 that’s impressive! How has it been maintenance wise over those years? Yearly average?
@@dadcars later car so 12k or two year service intervals, average is about £2500 but really £5000 every other year, last year was a set of rear tyres at £550 because between services (and did less than 5000 miles due to covid and not using for work etc)
@@yeahno.... ah thanks for sharing very interesting, so I want too far off with my 2k estimate ☺️ I do very much love these cars so well done 👏
That's my dream car right there, but I'd still keep my Alfa 159 Ti sportwagon as well, and it's only a 2 litre diesel, but is a hoot to drive!
It’s an incredible car honestly, I loved this car so much and would 100% buy one when the time comes I need that level of practicality. Amazing value for money. I’ve never driven an Alfa! Would love to get some on the channel at some point! Running out of masers to feature so makes sense 😉
@@dadcars My car does fit your category with regards to space, although it is a bit tight in the back for adults, but if you want a car with a bit more oomph, try to find a 166 with the Busso V6 engine. It's not that fast, but the soundtrack from that engine is worth it! BTW, my avatar photo is my car, not something nicked from elsewhere.
@@nekite1 looks lovely! They are great looking cars! I’d be up for featuring one for sure 👏
Two Italian stallions on the drive? That’s brave but brilliant! I love my QPV and it’s been so much more usable as a daily than I thought. Never had an Alfa, just jumped straight to this Maser for my first Italian car
@@JonWhitworth I'll stick my neck out even further and suggest another very left field alternative - a Saab 9-5 first generation, preferably an 04/05 Aero that has had a stage one tweak. A proper sleeper that will surprise a lot of supposedly fast cars even to this day.
Brilliant video, love the older cars! I've a one year old so finding a modern classic with isofix is a pain, retakes some great cars out of the equation
Thanks! Yeah they are hidden but iso fox was there on this car 👏
I had a Chevy SS sedan here in California (a Holden sedan with the Corvette 6.2 NA 6.2 L V8 and 6 speed manual) if you ever get a chance review one of those 4 doors. Cheers!
Ah! The dream would be to one day visit California again this time with all the family and do some American car reviews for the channel!
Had mine just under a year , Xpipe is my advice 😃
Bet it sounds insane! 🤯
It’s started to look kinda cool and retro the older it gets 👍
I agree 👏
Give your quatroporte some love. The roof material is falling off, it needs to be glued back on. The sticky stuff can be fixed at a detailing workshop.
Indeed, the next owner can address that if they want. It doesn’t bother me as my 10 year old doesn’t complain
New qp taillights remind me of a Toyota Camry
You’re right actually! 😅…
From a dad of 2... great video!
Ben's accelerating, kids not baiting an eye ahahaha.
They’re used to it 😅
What a great Channel I just found out! So qp or gt , which one would you choose?
Both!… 😅 I’d have the grantursimo until I absolutely needed the rear space, I’m all about the car that is barely just practical enough for your needs 😎 have you watched my GT video as well?
As soon as I seen Maserati in the title I had to look👍
I’ve reviewed 3 other Maseratis as well 😎
I’ve just fallen in love 😍
These are really cool cars 🤗
@@dadcars true, the cars aren’t bad either 😜
@@dadcars true, the cars aren’t bad either 😜
Lovely car.
I don’t understand why the Quattroporte M139 is still so cheap, Ferrari engine, Pininfarina design, and genuine Maserati can’t compare with Gilby quality. I think that car is so undervalued and especially in the UK.
They have a reputation for being costly to maintain… think there are a some neglected time bombs out there but if you buy right, you can get a very special car for not much money 😎
Love it love it love it!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love my late QP5 S
I’m hoping to review all of them in time 😊🤌
Fun video but you have some sound quality issues. Hopefully are fixed by now, as this is an older video. Your daughter is a bit distracting, though funny! Keep it up!
Thanks man, yeah I’ve upgraded my equipment now but aiming to get better every video 🫡
Great review! The Quattroporte is a fantastic car, even with the Duo Select transmition, if you are willing to lift your throttle foot a bit at the right moment. I love mine a lot! A huge pleasure to drive! Cute girls you have!
They are fab aren’t they, yeah the super fast game is over now with EVs so it’s all about the experience and these cars are so special
Clean plastic with Dunlop 65 fretboard (lemon oil)
That sounds like a solid tip! 👏 thanks Mark 😊
@@dadcars check : proper process(method).
My plastic -parts
Like brand new.
@@D.Mark1 I’ll give it a try when I own my maser one day… or even a prancing horse 🤞
Cheers, I’ll take a look at that
Correct!👍 Discovered after cleaning cameras and binoculars which were coated in a similar ‘soft feel’ finish 😉
I need to have a go in one of these. Tried a 4.2 granturismo yesterday and loved it - any dads want to buy my 2000 reg S6 4.2 so I can scratch this itch??
Watch out ladies, this dude is shooting from the hip! 😅
£15,000.....but repair costs are astronomical, however.
it’s great with the 3 seats for the children - Audi Q7 can’t do it
What lengths men will go to justify buying a Maserati to their wives,
Fantastic
I made a video all about how to justify it to the mrs 😎
Question… which did you prefer driving, 5th gen qp or the ghibli?
QP… but the Ghibli was a diesel
Did you fix headliner?? Details man details they are important
No, it will be going soon and the next person can fix if they want to
👋👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍very nice
Thanks man, more interesting Dad cars to come! Stay tuned 👏
Christ, have you got enough kids 😂
Interesting car but honestly I couldn’t care less about someone else’s kids, they just annoy me, it’s not for me at all, running about after kids, I’m too selfish, I enjoy the luxuries, time with my other half and friends, travel and my cars. Most friends with kids have zero fun from what I’ve seen, marriages crumble, and sex seems non-existent!!
The car is lovely however, I like the earlier version as it has a dry sump but shame the box and clutch are delicate.
Headliner like a mid age ladies belly
The head units kinda suck on them.
Who needs music when you have this engine though!
Show me a car from the mid-2000s that doesn’t suck!
Why did you do that to the grill . Ur car looks like a ford
How old you are bro?
34
@@dadcars Man, you are young. I am 40 and have no kids. Thinking if it is too late to have kids! What do u suggest?
@@MrTeslaX you’ll be fine, just have one or two max 😉
@@dadcars Okay thanks bud :)
