As a current GranTurismo owner, the car just does everything well and really has no flaws. Sure there are faster cars but not many cars can achieve what the GT does. Elegance, comfort and speed. And it looks damn good doing it.
Congrats on your ownership. The Spec here is not too impressive, the silver "Titan Tex" carbon fiber trim is however right with the Rosso Leather, but combining Grigio Lava with Rosso and Rosso calipers, no, not too sharp, tasteful, or imaginative. I do love this car and have my sights on owning one. The 2018-2019 is my favorite version, I will have to wait a few years to acquire one. I have also made a hobby of configuring this car, see my designs here: ladiesforthegranturismo.wordpress.com/ I tried to do a Grigio Lava MC but could not find a complimentary wheel or really make an impactful design, not really a fan of greys; perhaps I'll try again with a Sport model and use Cuoio with the Grigio Mercury Tridents.
I own a 2018 Maserati Granturismo sport convertible and I love it. They say the 0-60 is 4.7 seconds but it's much quicker than that. With a car like this you get a lot of lookers and it's so funny watching peoples face when they hear that beautiful Ferrari v8 engine.
i had this car one for a year this car does not have the tech but you won't care after a week best sound, comfortable, and turns heads just as much as any car that would cost 4 or more times more. Trying to find the perfect next one can't wait to have it back
That's great to hear. I'm looking at getting one soon as well. Glad that it was essentially a stress-free ownership experience. Did you have the 4.2 or the 4.7? ZF 6 speed or the MC Shift single clutch (F1)?
My wife just bought one because she wanted a convertible at our beach home in Florida. Now she wants it at our main house. It is a beautiful and comfortable car.
Hey I'm going to be honest with you recently my car die and I'm looking for a new car should I get a 2019 Corvette zr1 or a 2018 Maserati granturismo sport convertible white which one has more space and visibility and is more reliable
GT is an amazing car. I have a white one, black interior with carbon. Once you're over the test drive, what you want is comfort, great looks, and power when you need it. It's not the fastest car out there, but do you really care?
Looking into buying one of these 09 model or a 09 CL63.. I love both cars & both on top of my list but can't decide, which one is the best bang for the buck & why guys?
@@BrosFOURRSpeed appreciate it. I been looking for a MC for a min. Every time I call about one, it's gone. Seems like ppl are snatching them up. Fast. It came out to 57k total after taxes, fees. But it's so worth it with only 8500 miles.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed absolutely. I appreciate the feedback. Its crazy how dealers are selling them so fast, even a Maserati dealership by me had one and it was being serviced and wasn't ready for sale and someone came in and bought it, what the hell is going on lol
I'm 5-10 and a half and I sit back there quiet often for hours and I had no problems with comfort-ability. My friend who is 6 foot sat back there and loved it. You ever try sitting back in a Ferrari? Now that is a dreadful experience.
Short shifting an Italian thoroughbred GT like that is doing a dis-service to the marque and the car....Let it stretch its legs and really clear its throat....just sayin'.
454 hp not 554, it would be amazing if they had 554 lol, I would ask for 2020 if they updated in cluster to digital, infotainment screen updated, revamp headlight to full led with DRL, full led tails, a biturbo v8 with atleast 560-600hp, and a zf8 speed auto, full glass roof, it would be amazing!!!! It’s literally the same interior as a 08 and exterior besides few minor changes, it’s an amazing looking and sounding car, very nice gt car.
I agree about the steering wheel but not about the other part you said, i think the only good thing about this car is the sound. It's a 4-5 second car, shift so slow,the interior looks old, the tech in this is basically ancient. There are a lot of better cars than this one. This would be a good car for like 10-15 years ago.
I know this car is older, and was really outdated when it came out. But it's still really disappointing to see how slow the shifts are in manual mode. This car would've been great with a dual clutch. But with the decade old interior at release, and the slow transmission, I can help but see this car as okay at best.

How is the maintance on these? any major break downs or flaws? I currently own a ‘17 M4 but kind of looking around for a replacement.
Lucky bastard! Enjoy this beast!

@@sambingdotgov did you ever make the switch ? Isn’t the m4 much quicker?
One of the most beautiful stock exhaust notes in history. Love it.
The most underrated car on the planet 😰
Totally agree... That red interior with that stock exhaust is from another world 💓💓💓💓💓😭
These sound so awesome
oh yeah!

454hp. Not 554
I love my 2009 Maserati GS with the auto clutch transmission. It had great acceleration, sounds wonderful, and handles wonderfully.
Very nice! The GranTurismo is a super cool car!
Absolutely love my 2018 GT MC Sport.
They are fun cars for sure!!
What's maintenance on that? I've heard it could be up to 4k/yr. Is that true?
I have owned 2011 Granturismo and absolutely loved it! Very functional, not like Lambos or Ferrari.
My wife just bought one because she wanted a convertible at our beach home in Florida. Now she wants it at our main house. It is a beautiful and comfortable car.
Very cool! Its a comfortable car
Beautiful car. It’s has to be one of the best sounding cars on the road.
This car have best sound in the world Literally
Maserati's are great sounding cars for sure!
Really like these cars and the style. Noise is amazing.

Paul Marshall Same here i have a white gt sport with red interior 👌🏻😍.
There are actually adjustments in the suspension. Whenever you go into sport mode, the suspension stiffens by
10%.
My mum is saving money for this car

Great sound.. nice interior.. excellent review !! Keep up the good work 😎😎😎
Thanks! It was a super clean car. Great for a road trip!
Picking up a 2013 GT MC with 8k miles on it... cant wait
Nice, congrats! I'm sure you got a great deal on that, but that's also pretty low mileage! Used is the way to go!

Why did you end up selling it?@@MetroCollectablesandvlogs
Awesome video! Thank you for reviewing this car, it is one of my favorites. Although the transmission did seem kinda slow.
Yeah its a bit outdated. More of a luxury grand tour car than a sportscar
U can’t leave us hanging like that dude 😢 That exhaust sound and u didn’t give us one single acceleration over 3500 rpm 😭
Was just looking to get one and I run into your videos again ;) lolol havent talked to you in foreverrrrr
Nice man! These are pretty cool!
Maserati makes very beautiful designs

I do enjoy thee looks and thee exhaust note, as well as thee large fender wells :-)
It's a nice Maserati! Definitely something cool to pick up for cheap!
How would you compare the speed of this compared to a mustang gt or camaro es or other cars in that area
Probably a bit slower. The Maserati GranTurismo is more on the luxury side. It's peppy enough. But the American V8 will beat this ;)
Sounded like you weren’t revving in sport mode it makes a difference
This guy didn't do his homework.
Night and day in sport mode
ooooh this car! i love it!

I don't believe this young man knew the car had a sport mode.

6:31 I thought I saw the TH-cam play button lol
my man trying hard to not crash the Maserati
What do you mean?
Dream car
I just got one a month ago. If you dont like too much attention dont get it.
Would love to have this car with a super charger on it , that would really wake this car up , definitely like this car over a tesla.
Takes a whole second to shift after using the paddles lol
Haha the beauty of a single clutch gearbox.
You like men yeah
Moto Squid so leave it in automatic :)
@@maxhall5794 just this one in particular stuff like the Aventador shift crazy fast and that's a single clutch
@@roysalman6720 Yeah the single clutch is one of the biggest complains on the Aventador. It's very jerky.
I own exactly same 2014 car color but black interiors. Ciao from Italy
Sweet! The Maserati GranTurismo was really fun to check out!
I live in Greenville so when i heard him say Greenville i realized that i know where that place is at
Cool car, smile in thumbnail pic is creepy though
hah yeah! Back when I didn't show my teeth for whatever reason lol
Funny, I found my Maserati at the same dealership last year.
The F type wished it sounded like a Masi Gt
Both sound great in my opinion.
this car might not as fast as lamb. but really. i choose maserati over lamborghini for dates. it’s on a different category
Heritage of Maserati since 1914. They were for the super rich before Ferrari even started
Doesn't have the exoticism, exclusivity, or charm of the GranSport. But, still pretty cool.
Everything about the car was awesome, until we got to the dated infotainment system. The dash isn't even digital. Such a shame, lovely car though.
I don't think the car has changed much since it came out. Great GT car tho
8:27 8:34 8:40
Thanks for checking out the video!
Bro didnt even know it has sport mode lol
Why do you say that?
The steering looks really dated even for a 2016, but the rest of the cars is just bellisimo

Can u actually drive it!! Quit short shifting and punch it!!!
It looks very similar to a Ferrari
Designed by Pininfarina, which also designs ferrari's.
@@maxhall5794 👍
Put the pedal down and stop being scared. The car moves out if you put it to the floor.
If it were my car sure, but I wouldn't do that in someone else's car.
I'll race ya....Tesla Model S owner. :)
I'd love to put that against the GT-R! lol
looks like jaguar mixed with ferrari
Ok
2016? Lol that looks like a 2003 car design inside and out
Yeah the GranTurismo is no modern car. Very old school
Every one trades in there masurati because great sound .But it gets whooped light to light buy to many sports cars for the money.
It's a GT not a sports car dumbass..
Has more miles than my 2014
Tur-IZZ moe? Really??? Tour-EEEz mo...
Granturismo does not have 554 hp!
He may have meant 454. That also may be why he wasn't as impressed with the acceleration. We would be, but he's driven some very nice cars.
pov
Not a big fan with this car
Maseratis are just crappy Chrysler cars.
Clueless

Newer models are going offer what you are looking for!
454hp, not 554
Not sure why I said that, but it is 454!
