- The 2004 Maserati Spyder might be forgotten by car enthusiasts, but that doesn't mean it isn't a decent car. We show you all the features of this Italian grand tourer, including the navigation system, Cambiocorsca automated manual transmission, and the 4.2L naturally aspirated Ferrari V8. We go on a road test and give you our opinion about this sports car, and give you buying advice if you're in the market for a 2004 Maserati Spyder.

We're proud to say that all of our videos are uniquely produced in the Niagara Region, Ontario, Canada.
No one is more embarrassed about this video than I am. There was a lot that went wrong when filming it, and I've certainly learned a lot since. The mispronunciation of Cambiocorsa throughout the entire video is probably the worst, since I spent time remembering the right way to say it only to screw it up during filming and recording.
Your channel is definitely grown since I have subscribed Great job
4:00 "As a car enthusiast I don't drive manual, because I have not had the opportunity to learn", followed by " the manual cars that I have driven before"...huh????
Sorry that confused you. If you watch our 2017 Mazda6 video you'll see that we're quite happy driving around with a manual.
@@PRNTestDrive it still doesn't make sense
Not sure what’s not to understand. Prior to this video I had driven a handful of manuals, but would not consider myself someone who could as I only had a combined half an hour of experience behind the wheel of manual cars. That’s changed quite a lot in 2018 for me, and it’s something I don’t need to be embarrassed by. Gatekeeping in the automotive enthusiast community is a big problem.
You really need to be embarassed about it, you can't do car reviews if you don't know shit about cars. It's like a virgin talking about sex
Lol, sure thing man. So what, you expect everyone to already have all the experience in the world? No one is allowed to grow or expand their skill set as far as you’re concerned? Grow up. Normal people develop new skills, that’s what I did in 2018, and I don’t need some internet dweeb telling me otherwise.
Nice review man! The interior held up pretty well, looks like it's been maintained properly over the years.
It's not too bad, I believe the car's only driven 17,000km though.
I've been watching your videos lately, you're doing a great job, no matter what you review. Keep it up!
Thanks, we appreciate that! We've got some fun stuff ready to publish over the next week or so!
Before it was passed down to me, my grandpa bought the coupe manual version, and apart from the Thermostat, and the MAF sensor that was dirty... this car has just regular maintenance, and its just a joy to drive! 89000 km on the clock!
Not bad at all! This was one of our earlier reviews, and looking back we're pretty embarrassed by it. We'd love to find another to feature with our newer format!
Perpetual Radio Networks I'm located in the USA in charlotte. I'd love to have you feature it but it's far from where you're located. But if you'd like she's here looking better than ever! Full headers back tubi exhaust, and ecu tune manual!
We'll definitely let you know if we ever do a road trip through the US to film!
Great video and the explanations of the car were very clear and complete.
Glad you liked it, thanks!
Great test ;)
Thanks, glad you liked it! We're very happy with the way this video came out.
I would totally get one as a weekend cruiser, as long as you dont daily drive it, the maintenance costs would be spread out.
That's true too! Definitely has to be a manual though, this half-manual automatic gearbox was absolute trash.
PRN I used to own a Quattroporte with the DuoSelect transmission and I went through 3 clutches at $4000 each. I ended up trading it in for another one with the ZF auto and it was light years better!
Do you have the part number of the clutch kit? I'm sure the shop marked the price up quite a bit because of the make and model. I think (may have to do some research) that some of the parts may be shared with other make/models (which translates to lower prices) since Maserati is built by Chrysler/Fiat.
If you don't drive like a teenager you can easily reach 30k miles. All the updates and new parts have made the F1 gearbox quite reliable. A new clutch replacement is about 3k.
I daily drive mine and it’s been pretty reliable
Hahahaha! The music part is hilarious. Great video!!
Glad you liked the Maser Music!
Well I liked your review - a calm, professional delivery and useful info - as you say - not many of these compared to the 30,000-odd Gran Turismo's produced in 2015. So well done Monsieur - good ole' America got most of these by the look of it.
I’m glad you liked this one, it’s one of our earlier videos that I don’t look back on fondly. I’d love another chance to redo this car.
Criticising the auto-shift, while admitting that you "could have used the paddles", is just unfair, and pretty stupid. That's what they are there for. And if you think the whole point of a 390 horsepower sports convertible is "to go for a drive and enjoy the scenery", then this lovely machine was just wasted on you. And then you wrongly called it the Maserati coupe. Oh dear ...
I know I'm such a terrible person, sorry for all these awful mistakes.
LoL Don't let these people get you down. They're just tired of driving their beat up under powered old SN95 Mustang thinking they have a "sports car" but can't afford anything else. ;)
I realize I'm late to this party but I have to make a couple comments. I'm on the bigger side myself and had a Cambiocorsa for a couple years when I lived in Calgary. These are thoroughbred machines that need to be on a highway where they are happy,... not putting around town. A brief time spent going through the vehicle with the sales person Before shooting the video may have been helpful, and not being a manual driver at the time, having the sales expert drive the car while you ask questions might have been a better way to feature this car. They are not pokey, and there is nothing wrong with the shifting IF you learn how to use it. I think you would benefit in many ways if you put down some cash and took performance driving lessons if this is your passion. Take up autocross, but the last thing you should do is blame the car for your lack of knowledge in driving it. I'm not trolling trying to raise a response, just some helpful hints for future reviews. Like any car they had their faults but not to the degree you expressed considering your experience with driving in general. Best of luck going forward.
I have to say this is one of, if not my absolute least favourite videos we've produced as I look back on it. The car itself was not good, and that came directly from the mechanics who I personally know who had to work on this vehicle prior to the dealer selling it. If I could re-do this episode I would, but we also don't delete our old work, so unfortunately this episode has to stay.
Will be interesting to review an infiniti i30 1999
We're hoping to find some of those early Infiniti models and review them!
This car has an automatic for when you take it to the garage or when your wife wants to drive it. it will take at least a week to master the cambiacorsa gear change, that's why it's jerky, it's not killing the car, you just need time with the car
it's one of the best sport's cars on the market and going up in price thanks to its rarity.
Given this was one of our earliest reviews we've done I'd want to have a re-do on the Maserati. I think we could do a much better job featuring it today compared to a few years ago.
I would really like to see your review of a 2005 to 2012 Acura RL, or a Jaguar S-type, with a perspective on how it compares with German competitors.
We'd certainly like to be able to get those cars on our Show! We're hoping to have some new opportunities this summer as we partner with local dealerships and clubs!
The electical system in your car is for the most part 12 volts on anything modern. Usually youll have a volt or 2 more pumping out form the alternator and itll level out to 12 volts when you have loads on the system and will charge your battery back from starting and such. If your oil presuure drops low its bad. You wont be lubricating your engine. ;) the more yah know.
Indeed!
Great Review!! Very professional and informative keep up the good work !!
Thanks for the nice comment! We definitely feel like we've gotten a lot better since filming this car, and always working hard to make the show better.
This Maserati is a very interesting car, and quite pretty in this colour combination. For about the same price or less, I would be inclined to purchase a SL500 of similar model year, which has the versatility of the power hard top, superior solidity, and would likely be less service intensive, or at least more readily serviceable across Canada.
I agree. In fact I'm hoping to be able to review an SL500 soon, so we'll see if I can make it happen and see how both are to drive!
Well it's not quite the same year, but we are going to be filming an SL550 on Friday! We won't be able to do a TestDrive Showdown between the two, but hopefully the standalone full tour and review will be enough. Cheers!
Excellent! When the R230 SL debuted in 2001, I didn't find it too attractive. As the years have passed, however, I think it has become one of Mercedes' nicest designs of the modern era. Perhaps it is a little unappreciated at the moment, and will become more appreciated in about another 5 years - a typical pattern with Mercedes coupes and roadsters.
I definitely agree with you. I love the early 2000s MB designs, the W203 and W220 are my favourite, and I'm really hoping to be able to feature both soon. There's just something about that double-bubble headlight that I can't get enough of.
Actually a supercharged V8 SL55 AMG or twin turbo V12 SL600 around 2003-2005 and pretty affordable. You get near 500 HP, better quality interior, and a folding hard top convertible. If you want to spend a few grand on mods you could get over 600 HP. ;)
The rear looks more like a Honda Prelude I'd say. No troll. The Prelude was a handsome car.
I can definitely see that too. We always liked the Prelude, especially in an unmodified form.
maserati was like: oh yeah, yeah lets put the satnav at the lowest point possible, so nobody can see it (that way we can distract from its zucc)
It's not that much lower than in my E38, but it took a while for the screen to get bright. I think the cold weather we've had hasn't helped.
did the car sell already
I just checked the pre-owned website for Performance Mercedes-Benz and it doesn't appear there anymore. By the looks of it, it has been sold!
Respect you doing your thing salute. But reviewing cars and dont drive manual. cant respect that. You saying the shift is killing the car when you arent even shifting it is a waste of everyones time
Really appreciate your opinion on that. It's not by choice that I don't drive manual, our plan is to buy a beater and get the hours in so I don't wreck someone else's clutch.
Yeah the fun is in matching the revs downshifting and exiting corners with all the power. You're making it out harder then it needs to be. It's easy. You're a car guy you will pick it up in an hour or less. Also when you are coming to a stop light or stop sign just throw it in neutral and coast to the stop. Alot cheaper for brakes then clutch. I only see people having a trouble on an inclune. You will be good. Again congrats on the sucecss. That Spyder has the same gear box and engine as the Formula 1. That transmission is not the issue.
Find you an el cheapo lil toyota corolla or civic 5 speed. They can be had for a grand in the states. You'll be able to sell it for what you have in it. Enjoy learning on a car thats cheap and you wont feel bad to dog the tranny. Trust me you'll never imagine how much fun youll have in one of the cheapest cars on the road. I learned on an old ford truck that was a three on the tree with a burnt out clutch with no power steering lol.
Love the review. Like your style.Just a tip, do not take this as an offense.
Try to wear more representative clothings, your shoes are really dirty, I noticed that right in the start.
Will look a little more professional if you want to take your channel to the next level.heads up!
Fair enough, we always appreciate constructive feedback. Thanks!
I've been reading some of the comments about the maintenance or transmission repair cost can be expensive. Soooo.... where are some examples or have you owned one??? Every car needs maintenance and can be expensive to repair if the transmission fails. Care to elaborate (commenters) with your extensive knowledge and experience with these cars or where did you get your information from? Google Professors? This is something I pulled from a random car forum member's response to someone looking to purchase; " I looked at Maserati's ( and others) after I sold my Porsche. They are awesome in design , have a a great Ferrari build engine, fabulous interior with assorted leather. Indeed you will find some garage queens but in general these things ( 10 year old ) have been driven several 1000's of miles per year and 40-70 K miles seems to be a good estimate. Then, to the details. Gearbox with or without F1 and clutches seem to last between 5 K and 15K miles, you will find most of the cars that are for sale with " a recent or newly installed clutch". Why would that be I wonder. Note that little deal will cost between 5 and 10K dollars ( if new bell housing is needed), count on that every 10K miles to be on the safe side ia every 2-3 years. The 2002-2004 Spyder has a heater core that fails, you will need to pull out the complete dash, 10's of hours of labor. I heard 5K for the work. The core is 1500 dollars but an identical core from Alfa Romeo, when bought in Europe costs about 200 dollars. Assume all spare parts are horrendously expensive. And the list goes on. Count 5K per year for repairs and set 5K per year aside for the major repairs coming your way. Cars built after 2007 are most likely a better buy , they are also substantially more expensive but better built I would say.... for the rest ... I drool on the design, engine sound, interior and chick magnet capacity.
" Hope this helps anyone considering buying one.
Thanks for the info! It's always difficult researching any used vehicle's maintenance issues like this, and to be fair it was one of the first ones we filmed where we actually talked about common problems and what to look out for. There are so few of them on the road, but a pretty decent enthusiast community out there for this specific car, so there's definitely resources out there.
Many people now days work on their own cars so dropping a tranny on a Maserati shouldn't be any different than any other car. Reason why it may cost more is it's an uncommon car so a clutch kit will be priced up vs say your average American, German, or Japanese car. Though the Maserati share some parts with Chrysler/Fiat. Sometimes checking parts numbers and if it is shared with another make and model you'll save money. I ran across this in many cars and even motorcycles. I had a water cooled Yamaha and they wanted $60 for a coolant cap. I checked the part number and it was shared with a Honda car and was only $12. lol
This is old but I own one and I daily drive it! Owning it has been a dream with just regular maintenance.
My clutch is original and it has 67k miles, my heater core is still good and the part is $150 from an Alfa Romeo... brakes I just use ebc pads and I have bought the rotors for 1k for all 4 and that was at 55k miles. At 57k miles my thermostat went and that was $368 part and labor, at 62k miles my MAF went, and that was a $49 part from Volvo... I change the oil every 5k miles and all fluids with a flush, and carbon cleaning once a year.
In the past..
Maserati basically a small power..
GT version
Slowly Ferrari.
The gearbox is F1.
The brake is racing.
I can imagine the engineer wanna build a daily driver racing style GT car.
This a s type r or 996 911
Interior is amazing but that's the only thing it has going for it
The interior wasn't that nice in person, unfortunately. We'd love to have another go at a car like this and try to compare it with something similar.
**Hits kid on bike in neighborhood**
Honk at those who get in your way hehe
Might want to mention that it gets about 10mpg. So you'll be paying more for gas.
Robert Drake 24 mpg and I beat the crap out of it
08:42 - I hate tree debris by the hood hinges!!!!!!!!!!
Unfortunately it's our understanding that that Maserati had been sitting in the back for a little while before we filmed it, so it started to collect some unwanted companions.
No kidding but the interior reminds me of a Toyota yaris from 2004 😂😅😅
Haha!
Carlos Leal ...Solara
This guy realizes oil pressure doesn't mean it's 'full' right?
Yep
sounds like v6
Drives like one too.
Man why do you review cars? You don't seem to know what you're talking about...
Don't watch our videos then!
For an enthusiast you don't know much,
Sorry
Saul Clissold this car is not very common and is besides the interior junk
I know I'm old when car enthusiasts say they don't know how to drive a manual. Manual transmission were in the majority of used cars I owned when I was young. Actually the first clutch I learned how to use was on a motorcycle. lol
Ugh that damn transmission is what killed the Maserati they should of not done something so different they should of done a true manual transmission or even a true auto.. 🙄 why do these ppl do this... You can't see it I'm banging my head
They did make a proper manual for this! Would have been much better than this thing.
Dude I know it's a pitty
Oh well shit
Ish, they were trying to be modern, sporty & cutting-edge by mimicking Formula One. The real shame is that the few with an actual clutch pedal (called the "GT" BTW) were wonderfully-magical buttery-smooth pieces of automotive perfection.
And some of the construction pulled from the Chysler / Fiat parts bin ;)
