    The 3200 GT featured the very last 100% Maserati engine. In fact, the 3200 GT was the last pure Maserati...
    It was a 3.2 liter with a twin turbo layout, exactly like modern Ferraris, twenty years before.
    To me, this was the most désirable of all these bodies, especially with its manual gearbox and the boomerang tailights ❤❤

      I have a 3200 GT. Lots of torque mid range, more than the 4200 GT and gives a real kick in the back overtaking. Concerning maintenance and reliability, good if regularly maintained at an independent specialist. Some parts can be tricky to get, but lots of enthusiast club support in Europe. Also can save on Bosch and other parts shared with other models and not with Maserati label mark up. Engine is great close to 400 - 410 bhp and not the 370 BHP claimed as Ferrari wanted to not let the 3200 have a figure more than the 355 Ferrari. The 3200 GT was released when Maserati was put under Ferrari management.

      I own a "genetically" quite near the 3200 GT despite its small 2800cc 18v V6 : the 430 ("biturbo quattroporte").
      The engine torque was a phenomenon, but the chassis was overloaded with it.
      I guess the 3200 GT is far superior in every aspects. And hopefully reliability!

  • @yash.kapoor
    @yash.kapoor 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +24

    The difference between Doug's review of this car (with a manual gearbox) from April 2020 and this one is quite drastic. He really stressed in the old review how the Cambiocorsa was terrible, clunky, unreliable and was to be avoided, was slightly more critical of the interior quality, was a bit more jovial with his commentary on some weird quirks, was more critical of the rear seat space and features (maybe because he used to climb into them back then), and he mentioned how the exhaust not wasn't quite as loud as some later Maseratis. Also in that review he acted less surprised at how much it had depreciated since new, but still maintained that it was an excellent deal in manual form.
    Now I get that his opinions may have genuinely changed over 4 years, but the fact that he avoided talking about the transmission until 12:46 in this video might say something, even before we get to his claims about it feeling "more mechanical" (I'm won't argue whether he's right or wrong, just that this is a huge change in his opinion). Also he made no mention in this video as to how unreliable the Cambiocorsa is.
    It's probably obvious why this is, and this is far from the first example. But really is this even a review if he needs to sugarcoat or paper over some of the flaws in these C&B auction cars?

      Doug's reviews have become so saturated and artificial, and also noticeably lazier. The reason we watched him was for his open honesty and transparency on all the quirks and features. And now he overlooks things and only seems to care about promoting cars for C & B auctions. This channel has really changed for the worst...I'll sometimes pop in to watch a video but it used to be so much better.

      Agree 1000% . His videos for the past year or 1y and a half have been so difficult to watch, but in the last 6 months or so it’s just impossible. The moment i hear “BIG NEWS ! This car is being auctioned on C&B” and i scroll through and see he’s again in that bunker-type garage AND sitting on that chair (strongly doubt he’s using the chair for health problems) i just dislike the video and leave. It’s so incredibly obvious in his commentary that he desperately wants to sell the car and make its value go up. He’s sugarcoating everything. No more honest reviews, LOTS of mistakes in pretty much every video i’ve managed to watch.He’s nothing compared to years ago, but i guess that’s what money (and selling out) does to people. I hope he’s taking a look at his views, dislikes,comments and does something about it or people are gonna leave for good. i keep coming back hoping something’s changed

      If you go in with your eyes open, and can do most of the work yourself they can be a bargain. If you need to go to the dealer every time it breaks, yes you will go broke. But there is nothing that unusual about working on them, you just do need to research what make/models/years/options are likely to break and be expensive to replace.

      The cambiocorsa is fine, especially with a formula dynamics DBW. Test drive it before insisting on a manual.
      I test drove a maserati 4200 GT manual before getting my Maserati 4200 Gransport (cambiocorsa). I love manuals, but found the manual linkage in this car relatively unengaging and the manual didn't feel like it suited the pace of the vehicle (kept above 5000 rpm this thing moves through the gears FAST)
      More importantly, the gransport version was a nicer version with a lot of styling and other improvements, and well worth it over the base 4200/Coupe.
      I would have loved a gransport manual, but alas, none were ever made.
      Test drive a coupe/4200 GT and a Gransport before you decide and I'll wager you likely will end up in a cambiocorsa gransport

    “ I keep saying that the automatic was a terrible transmission and let me explain, it was a terrible transmission. Indescribably clunky and awful. Every time it shifted it would lurch like a beginning driver that didn’t know how to drive a stick shift. just a terrible, horrible, driving experience. in addition, the transmission has become extremely unreliable and nobody wants to drive it and nobody wants to maintain it. The worst of the worst, in terms of transmissions.”

    Doug views are declining. He tracks them religiously, as he’s mentioned in previous TST podcasts, and usually has a good understanding of why he is popular. If he reads comments still, I’ll tell him why I’ve stopped watching.
    His first video that hooked me was his new Ghibli review where he tore it to shreds. I still remember the tube of toothpaste. He was objective. He said on podcasts that he doesn’t take manufacturer trips because then he believes it would not keep him objective. He was right, it kept him objective.
    Now though he has cars and bids, which has reversed that mentality. He can’t be as objective or tear a car to pieces like the Ghibli, because he wants it to sell on his site. It shows in all of his new reviews. He doesn’t want to say much negative or realistic because then it’s a mark against someone’s car he is trying to sell. Even in this review he BARELY mentions maintainability of an early 2000s Maserati. Or the diagram of the infotainment switches? Old Doug would have ripped that to pieces.

Cons and why they are so cheap? A/c stopped working, turned out to be the switch on the dash which was 1k from the dealer. I instead took it apart and discovered it was a cheap plastic shaft behind the knob, which I fixed with jb weld. That was all that was wrong. As you work on it, you find cheap, thin plastic all over the car. The glove box will fall off in your hand, again because the hinge is thin plastic. Speaker covers are thin plastic and so forth. The transmission went out. Turns out again, the trans was fine but a module on the trans went out and that one part was 10 grand. I sold the car. It's wonderful to drive and painful to own.
