A classic Doug review would talk about the facts that the F1 transmission needs a clutch replacement every 15K miles but since it's being sold on Cars and Bids I guess that detail was left out...
Mate, not true. I have owned the Maserati shamal ,this car . Along with 355 and 328 Ferrari. The clutch that lasted the longest was and still is in this car.
He did a video on one of these a few years back and made sure to stress that. I remember prices on the manual cars skyrocketed after that video got really big.
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.
@@royturner2957 thank you very much for the precisions. 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!
Mic was unbearable for this one, watched anyways because I love these things, so unreliable, so terrible, so cool hahaha Of course it’s in “I’m over 70” gold, love it. If I won the lottery I’d drive this around my gated community for hours, maybe try to fit my golf clubs in it.
Glad to see he’s reviewing another one, was just going through his playlist yesterday reminiscing over the bashful Maserati reviews, I’m sure this will be another one at least to an extent 😋
Spare tires are often considered a structural part. They help absorb heavy rear end impacts. So while the donuts aren't quite as good as full size spares, I wouldn't consider it "crappy" or be glad it's gone.
Exactly. Doug is weirdly fixated on quirky trunk release images than things that help drivers in the real world like the spare tire and kit he bemoans as "crappy". Most cars today don't even have spare tires whatsoever.
Ghibli is a FANTASTIC car. Amazing, powerful and reliable. Thanks to people like you the Ghibli has depreciated so we can buy them cheap now. There is nothing cheap about new Maserati’s. I love mine!!
The quirks of Italian cars never cease to amaze me. I had a FIAT 500 Abarth when they first hit the states and the only way to unlock the trunk if the car was running was to get inside and close door and open and close the door open handle there was no trunk open button very fustrating.😂
The trunk button and fuel door button in the glove box is a holdover from a previous era. That's valet stuff. Lock the glovebox so a valet also can't steal your gas or whatever is in your trunk
@@HoolaaBaaloo In this car's era and earlier, you could often get a valet key that would open the doors and start the car but not unlock the glovebox because it wasn't fully cut. I had a Chrysler like that. Before this, cars usually had one key for the ignition and one for the doors/trunk/glove box. I guess it was presumed that the valet wouldn't lock your car.
@@HoolaaBaalooYou’ve never heard of a “valet key”? 🤦🏻♂️ It’s a key with no buttons and will only unlock and start the car. It won’t unlock the glove box or trunk.
@@NovaResource of course I’ve heard but doubt it that a italian car from that era has this feature, at that time you likely see that stuff on german cars
The trunk popper in the glove box and cruise control on a stock are normal features for 90's cars. I think Doug knows this. (Maybe it's a quirk for an early 2000's car).
My dad has a manual 2002 3200GT Assetto Corsa in red, with the boomerang tail lights, and it's such a stunning looking car. I've got fond childhood memories sitting in the small rear seats while the car roared along the road, but it's been a decade since it was last on the road, needs a lot of work done... much like my own italian car, an Alfa 159, needs a lot of work done... 🙊🙈😆 You put up with the headaches because when you walk up to it with an admiring gaze, or when you put your foot down on a fun bit of road and hear the engine growl, the recovery trucks and repair bills are all worth it 🥹
That dainty reverse selector is also very delicate, easy to break, and impossible to get replacement parts for. I had to 3D print a replacement part for my friend's Coupe. Thankfully that part seems to be holding for now.
A few Italian cars of this era liked to be able to lock the trunk independently from the rest of the car. Therefore the trunk unlock button is inside the glovebox that it is also lockable… you could then use a valet key that only opened the driver’s door and the ignition! My dad had a Lancia Delta with the exact same feature and for even folding down the back seats you needed a key! I think it was specifically thought for the Italian mafia, you could stick a body in the trunk and still take for dinner, the mechanic or cleaning the car without worrying about it😂
i found a way to connect hdmi to the television port of the sat nav on my 98 mercedes CLK. i use it with samsung dex with a mini keyboard with touchpad. i've got google maps and everything. Works brilliantly. So the screens in 2000s cars aren't entirely useless
The Maserati coupe my Dad had said Pininfarina on the side. Inside it said leather by Armani. He also optioned the skyhook suspension package (Active Damping). The exhaust was upgaded to a full Tubi system. Later he purchased the Gran Sport model. Different clutch engagement program. Slower off the line. Red light race lost to a supercharged Nissan Frontier. That was the end of that in favor of a SL55 AMG which replaced it. Weird quirk about the trident on the front grill was purposely not centered.
Back in time people pay big money for handmade best quality handcraft and best quality material. Now people pay big money mostly for a brand stamp, simply production like plastic interior, exterior, engine arrangement.
I have a friend who has one and he's rather afraid to drive it because he's afraid something will break and cost him a ton. And he owns a foreign car repair shop. But I've ridden in it, it's gorgeous and fast, and it tempts me.
A lot of cars have the trunk release inside the glove box or center console. And I don't know what Doug is talking about about with the cruise on the turn signal... US automakers did it for decades.
Buttons for the trunk being in the glove box is a holdover from the 90s. I remember my family had a few different cars like that, but I don't remember what brand they were.
Most modern cars " touch screens are horrible and dangerous, bring back buttons and knobs" A particular maserati owner " get me the sticky stuff remover, and hold my beer"😊😂
He knows so much about the cars he reviews, he really prepares. I wonder how much time he spends prepping / studying. So much better than when thre reviewer knows almost nothing about the car and is figuring it out as they review. This guy is really the best at this.
Doug I’m European born and trust me many Renault, Peugeot and Citroen has the cruise control on a specific “satellite” behind the steering wheels. Believe or not some recent Renault still have a similar one. If I may this system is not that complicated, there is certainly a learning curve but afterwards it’s pretty practical 😅you can grip the steering wheel very securely and make the changes 😊
To be fair, all GM vehicles from the 70s thru the 90's, utilized the turn signal stalk for cruise control. And some Ford models in the 80s used the turn signal stalk as the horn (I'm looking at you Crown Victoria)!!
Hi Tower81@@Tower81year we had the same kind of horn location in many (almost all) 70's 80's and some 90's European cars. When I had the chance to drive one always looking for the horn ahah
Did he say no rational automaker puts cruise control on the turn signal stock? Did he mean like, normally it's on the right stock but this was on the left stock? Cause every car I've ever driven has had the cruise control on a stock. Button on the end to enable, flick down or up to set. Flick opposite to unset. Or maybe flick towards yourself to set/unset, and flick down to do the opposite.
I drove one of these in the mid 2000s. At the time I had a manual B5 S4 with an APR stage 1. Maybe I just loved that S4, but I was totally underwhelmed by the Maserati. Glad Doug sees the charm… but I suspect there’s some nostalgia factor going on here.
Cruise control on the turn signal stalk was common for GM products in the 70s and 80s. My '86 Chevy C10 pickup had the cruise and intermittent wiper controls on the turn signal lever. My 2006 Dodge Magnum (then heavily influenced by Daimler-Benz) had a 2nd stalk behind the turn signal level for the cruise control, just like the Mercedes models of the day.
Maserati made a Trofeo race car version for their own series similar to Porsche and Ferrari. A gentleman bought one and raced it with NASA Great Lakes, seriously cool car, as a racer it was very reliable. No clue how many they made but there had to have been 25 at least?
Would like to speak up for a cruise control controls. If I'm not mistaken, Volswagen models had their cruise control on that column too. And I liked it
You REALLY should film the driving part with a POV camera. Would fill a giant gap in the car review community on internet. Would give you also wayyy more fans and views!
Italian car factories only build on Friday afternoons right after a boozy 2 hour lunch and just before a big evening football game. Keeps the workers focused.
1978 to 80 Chevrolet Monza and Monte Carlo had the radio antenna integrated into the windshield, there are definitely places to hide them but just like PDA, nobody wanted smart phones back in the late 80s and early 90s even though the technology was ripe and ready

Beautiful cars and quite fun actually. Flawed? Absolutely! But to just drive it around as a street sports GT (not at the limit), it offers quite a lot. Quick, sounds awesome, style. Not for everyone, but definitely something different and exotic. And the headliner 🤩
I had a 2006 cambiocorsa and it was simply gorgeous! It was definitely a chick magnet in Boston! I loved rolling down the windows, putting it in sport and roaring through the tunnels~that sound was bliss
I actually know about the 3200GT from Underworld, or I guess I should say I first learned about it there. When the film came out I thought the tail lights were amazing lol, funny to see it's one of the few external changes at it became the Coupe. I'm guessing a lot of that had to do with regulations in the US or whatever other markets they were selling them in.
DOUG the sound of the mic and the church like concrete walls are a bit much. Maybe put 50 pictures of the Carrera GT on the wall with soundproofing below
Yes, the mic is bad in this video but ever since Doug moved into this dungeon this distracting echo has appeared in each video taking place there. Come on, Doug, get a sound guy. (Also IMHO you should ditch the office chair as it looks a bit strange).
Doug’s videos were much more interesting to me pre-Cars & Bids. These days, other car channels like Carwow, Tavarish, Throttle House, & Car Wizard fit the bill. I find these channels to be much more palatable, since I prefer learning about automotive technology over Doug’s glib used car salesman jive.
Hi Doug! I've noticed in the last couple of videos that you've started referring to the engines of the vehicles as the "powertrain", speaking of the engine and the transmission separately. It's my understanding that the term "powertrain" refers to (at least) those two components combined. If my understanding of the term, or your use of it, is incorrect, please let me know. Thanks for all the videos!
Found the same descriptions in a couple different places (including one manufacturer's site), so here you go: A power train is composed of an engine and a drivetrain. It is an assembly of every component that thrusts your car into motion. It includes engine, transmission, driveshaft, axles, and differential. The drivetrain is everything after the engine to make the wheels move.
These cars are almost reliable enough to be daily driven. It takes about 5k on ceika coilovers and formula dynamics tuning options to make a 4200 better than a gransport in power, shift speed, and handling.
My old man once warned me that there is no such thing as a cheap luxury car. He could well have been referring to Maserati. They have the worst resale value of almost any exotic for very good reason .
My experience with single clutch w/ auto shift was with an MRS and I felt the same. Mechanical feedback was great, and it doesnt take long to get used to it/learn to drive it right, the motions are intuitive and it can provide better feedback and response than many newer automatics
That colour looks gorgeous on that car. I always thought the Coupe was one of Giugiaro's best works in the 90's. I don't care what anyone says. Fight me.
I wish this was the first Maserati I drove my first experience was very underwhelming a 2019 levante the car felt cheap and was not at all exciting then I drove a g63 afterwards and a c63 they were a blast to drive.
Clicked this vid and got hit with a $8400 repair bill
Sounds about right. These are disasters to own.

12:40 GM put the cruise control on the turn switch for more than 20 years.
Closing the trunk was personal
That also hit hard for me too... I definitely felt it.
I definitely winced a bit.
I like the classic Doug Maserati review when he stuck a tube of toothpaste in the panel gap of the interior trim 😂
Ah the ghibli review, yeah I remember that one fondly lmao

Remarkable how well this car has held it's value. They were like $20,000 back in 2012. Basically hit their bottom and held it for 10+ yr
everything just doubled in price starting around 2020 lol

Maserati has always seemed like an iffy brand but one thing is for sure, Maserati knows how to make an amazing sounding exhaust from the factory.

1978 to 80 Chevrolet Monza and Monte Carlo had the radio antenna integrated into the windshield, there are definitely places to hide them but just like PDA, nobody wanted smart phones back in the late 80s and early 90s even though the technology was ripe and ready

Doug's the kinda guy to hype a car nobody in their right mind would ever own.
Cruise control in the Saturn (Opel) Astra (H) is on the indicator stalk as well.
Why that biturbo thing look kinda sick tho?
Many VAG vehicles have cruise control on the indicator stalk so not that strange an idea, maybe just none of the VAG cars sold in North America had it
DOUG the sound of the mic and the church like concrete walls are a bit much. Maybe put 50 pictures of the Carrera GT on the wall with soundproofing below

A power train is composed of an engine and a drivetrain. It is an assembly of every component that thrusts your car into motion. It includes engine, transmission, driveshaft, axles, and differential.
The drivetrain is everything after the engine to make the wheels move.
@@aaronw8606 sounds like my understanding of the term is correct, then. Okay thank you!
That car looks really out of GTA IV.
Has anyone ever done a mockup of how a coupe body might look on the short wheelbase Spyder platform?
These cars are almost reliable enough to be daily driven. It takes about 5k on ceika coilovers and formula dynamics tuning options to make a 4200 better than a gransport in power, shift speed, and handling.
I miss when Doug used to get into the back seats to show us how usable it actually was.
My old man once warned me that there is no such thing as a cheap luxury car. He could well have been referring to Maserati.
They have the worst resale value of almost any exotic for very good reason .
Can't unsee Tavarish's cartrek maserati XD
Also, really surprised Doug didn't mention the car's notorious unreliability, which contributes to its supremely low price
My experience with single clutch w/ auto shift was with an MRS and I felt the same. Mechanical feedback was great, and it doesnt take long to get used to it/learn to drive it right, the motions are intuitive and it can provide better feedback and response than many newer automatics
I'm waiting on the day Doug Reviews a Morgan Aero8 or Aeromax
The Johnny Sack special
Miss and prefer the old more natural outdoor reviews. Audio has been a bit ropey recently too.
Hilarious that the same people complaining about the garage filmed videos also complain about the wind noise when he’s outside.
That colour looks gorgeous on that car. I always thought the Coupe was one of Giugiaro's best works in the 90's. I don't care what anyone says. Fight me.
"this rather striking exterior color" which any Toyota owner would call Sierra Beige Metallic
aka the correct color for any 90s Toyota
FInally Doug has discovered audio noise reduction :)
I wish this was the first Maserati I drove my first experience was very underwhelming a 2019 levante the car felt cheap and was not at all exciting then I drove a g63 afterwards and a c63 they were a blast to drive.
My 2021 alfa romeo infotainment is just as laggy to be honest lmao! Though, equally fun to drive.
Ahhh Italia.
