Should you buy an early Maserati GranTurismo? Today i'm driving a 2008 example with the 4.2 Ferrari derived V8 engine and ZF 6 speed gearbox. This is a car that i've always lusted after, however it was not quite what I was expecting...

Have you had a go in one of these? Do you agree with my opinion? Thanks all for watching!

Dude, my phone started randomly playing this video while it was closed. I thought something was going to explode from the inside the phone
Thank goodness it was only the Maserati

4.2 for 8 years now and there isn’t a day where it hasn’t put a smile on my face or turned heads …

I’ve had a Maserati Granturismo s 4.7 for over 2 years now. Absolutely love it, it’s looks and sounds amazing, never had any issues, every drive is special .
Fantastic choice, fingers crossed you don’t have any issues.

1. The 4.7 Sport was quite a big improvement over the original 4.2 for performance and sound 2. The sticky buttons - that's a fixable issue, and not all cars get it. 3. There is a third party company called AuCar who sell a replacement Sat Nav system custom fit for the GT - It's about £1000 but gives you a modern touch screen sat nav - changes the car completely.

I’m loving my QPV and although similar to the GT, is a different proposition. Amazing cruiser, double glazed and electric seats in the rear. Practical car to swan around in with a Ferrari engine up front. Also read that the exhaust frequency of the Maserati Quattroporte is 333 HZ, which is a frequency level that supposedly stimulates the sexual arousal in women.

YES! I had one of these before my current DB9.2 and I did enjoy it thoroughly.... I had it 5 years without any issues it was a 2012. Coincidentally, the one I had before the Maserati was the E63 M6... lol

My dad has a Quattroporte 2007 Duoselect and besides some minor electronical issues it has been perfect! The transmission gives it that little bit extra to enjoy it when driving on country roads

I would definitely buy one of these. I've always loved the Granturismo.

After driving a mazer, db9 and xkr - I bought a 2010 xkr - 500+ hp, lovely to drive and apart from the older but functional infotainment a lovely place to sit in. I have no regrets...

A very beautiful GT car. I love it. I would prefer this one over the onter ones that you mentioned. The style and the sound - just very nice.

I love my 2016 GT in the same color, i always drive in sport, info tech not good …sticky touch points really suck but its a 24/7 head turner and constant compliments EVERY time I drive it…sounds amazing as well!

I had my Blu Mediterraneo 2008 GT for 9 years and loved every minute. Several road trips across Europe into Monaco and Italy. The best of times.

You need to try the later 4.7 version Joel. Mine also has the aftermarket infotainment. Both make the absolute WORLD of difference. Fancy a spin?

@nickH-worth1984 4 years ago (edited)

Possibly a little bit critical of such a beautiful car, a head turner!. An Italian super car of the late 20th century. But still a good vid, and looking forward to the next one.
