ULEZ does not apply to Private Cars. The definition of motor vehicle that they use includes passenger carrying vehicle in the context of minibus/taxi/private hire, where a passenger is someone who pays for a ride. This is the general legal definition of passenger in Blacks Law Dictionary and it concurs with the Road Traffic Act 1988 from where the statutory definition is derived. it does not include Private Car. (RTA 1988 S.121 interpretation).

Its beautiful I've been looking at it probably once a week😅 not in a position to buy, just dreaming, hope it goes to a good home!

Friends - I’ve owned mine since 2007…and she’s equipped with all the Formula Dynamics goodies. If anyone buys one of these - here are a few tips: 1. Buy the Formula Dynamics drive by wire enhancement. The clutch will engage and shift 10x better. Always drive it in sport mode. 2. Replace the secondary decats with either Larini “decats” or “Sport” cats. The current setup really robs the car of power and sound. If you look under the current, the pipes are “squashed” and look like someone has “kneeled” on the pipe….I have the decats and you can really feel the difference in the power and sound. Also, buy either the Larini or Tubi rear back boxes for even more sound. 3. This car is a GT not a sports car. I’d recommend updating the front and rear sway bars and lowering the car…makes a huge difference. 4. ECU upgrade - this car already pulls hard…but, the ECU upgrade makes it pull like a scolded dog. 5. Maintenance - ok, honestly, yes, very high maintenance costs…but, buy what you need in advance and plan for it and maintenance is no more than a BMW/Audi/Mercedes. 6. Bad rep - the 4200 and GranSport are, very very very good cars. A lot of haters have no real clue about what this car is…it’s a blast to drive, gets attention and has a killer engine. 0-60 4.6 - 4.7 and top speed over 180 mph. 7. Join the Maserati Life Forum - a lot of very helpful people on there. 8. Ok CLUTCH - yes, this is a big expense…but, if you buy the parts in advance, and you learn how to drive this car with the Drive by wire…you can get 40k + miles on the clutch…. Don’t be scared. 9. Ferrari stickies - yes, a problem that plagues all Maserati 4200/GranSports…I’ve been able to find a guy who fixes all of this on the Forum..it’s worth it. 10. Drive this car, maintain it…rev it hard (she loves to rev) just change fluids and be prepared to never wipe the smile off your face.

Amen brother (or sister). They are a great car. Have been toying with the idea of DBW but James’ review has turned me off somewhat - more research is needed here. Looking at the decat pipes so hopefully can do that soon. Clutch is approaching its useful life so will look at the 430 or quattroporte clutch (meant to last much longer). I love driving mine on weekends (usually early mornings so I’m back before traffic picks up) but can understand the frustrations of driving one daily and dealing with its “quirks”.

I really miss my 53 plate 4200, had to go due to Covid and work issues, I was getting 19 MPG on a run and about 16 MPG doddling about, that was until I changed the MAF sensor for a genuine Maserati part, I found the previous owner had cheaped out and fitted a Volvo one😮 Made a bit of difference and MPG went up to an amazing 23 MPG ! Mine was a six speed manual and I never had any issues with it, well built and amazingly reliable 😊 God I miss that car ❤

According to the nit (before I took it out) I would get 24 on a run, but not sure the digits went higher than 24 lol

Just past the intro and my thoughts are these; I’d rather regret things hadn’t turned out the way I’d hoped than regret never trying. In February I got my ‘08 650i. It is not the “most” anything, and some consider it ugly and it has its share of design flaws that afflict most mid-00’s BMW (and car makers in general). It is my first car as I’ve made do with motorcycles thus far. Because of this I wanted something special, and I have always liked the 6-Series, and I feel in love with my car almost instantly when I looked at it. Just after I got it, I drove down to the south coast from the midlands to see friends on my first big journey with the car, and on the way home, late at night, it hit me. This was MY car, fully bought and paid for. I owed no-one a penny for it. And I’ll admit, I teared up a bit, because it was a special moment for me. I don’t care it’s not the greatest at anything and even a bit “slow” today (Trust me, it’s only slow by bike standards!) Has it been perfect? No, it’s a mid-00’s BMW with a very complex engine. Is it expensive to run? Yes, although better than one might expect. Do I regret buying it? Not even for a second. I might keep it for a few years, I might keep it until it has to be scrapped, but I can say I bought the car my heart wanted. But I fully understand the need to drive to Scotland to test the theory. It’s all for scientific endeavour.

Just had to lose my 4200 due to minor crash damage 😢 the insurance offer was double what I paid for it... the price for super unleaded is at £1.71, and at best 15mpg, and head ruled over heart - (this video doesn't help). I bought it at £1.46 ppl with £120 tank fill... went for a Jag XJ6 and the rest goes on home improvements - its the head again, but my heart, well, turn up the volume!

Owning a running a dry ice cleaning company, Maseratis are some of the worst constructed cars chassis wise I’ve seen. The rust on cars used in the UK weather is insane. Compared to a Porsche or other marques at this price point it almost reminds me of a kit car

In my inner circle that delve with toys, figures and model kits, we always have a saying "Better regret buying it than regret not buying it". Shame to see the GranSport going away, but very much understandable. Hope to see more Maserati in your garage (an MC Strad or maybe another Quattroporte Sport GTS...?) since not many youtubers want to give Maserati a chance to prove themselves. Also, can I just appreciate how you went into great details about things you like and dislike as well as why a certain car works - or in this case, doesn't work - for you. Great consumer advice, giving people chances to make well-informed choices when they want to buy cars (even if, like me, many probably can't afford one).

Love my 4200, it has GS springs and i cant complain about the handling at all. I paid under 10k, its low mileage (relatively) and has been very well looked after. I think for that money, its crazy value. Hopefully it wont throw too many wobblies lol

Great video. It hasn't dampened my love for this model. As regards your search for a four seat vehicle, I think you'd look great in a Gran Coupe, indeed.

Regardless of the conclusion, I think you would have regretted not buying the car. Great to see your (as always) thoroughly honest feedback.

I always like the way the subtitles say ‘Music’ when there is just the sound from the exhaust!😍

Loved this video! As a ‘05 Coupé GT (manual) owner I think you’re spot on with your comments (except for the ride comfort which I find bone shaking in normal mode!). I just did a 1000 mile road trip last month and got 21 MPG with a lot of 70mph Swiss motorway miles. I also find it quite noisy in 6th at this RPM (probably exacerbated by road surface). You were lucky with your CoC, I had to pay Maserati a lot of €€ for mine. Re. the ground clearance, it’s a pity the GranSport is 10mm lower than the Coupé. I’m sad it’s going to depart the channel after such a short time.

A fantastic well-rounded overview of the GS! There's no better way to really get to know a car than a big road trip. Having just sold my 2004 4200, ironically to a nice chap in Scotland. I can't say I fully gelled with it but surprisingly I do miss it and can't help feeling one day we might see these start to be looked upon more favourably and perhaps even climb in price. All the best, Matt.

It's great for people that have the time. But as much as I love Jay's productions, I just can't justify watching KZread videos this long with the hours I work

Totally agree with the old lights being better. Thought that for nearly 2 decades

Very good viewing. A detailed, balanced & fair review. If I hadn't just agreed to £2k's worth of welding on my XK8, I'd be tempted to buy one.

I have a 4200, due to the "sticky dash issue" I had no idea it had a sport mode button, I thought that manual mode was sport mode and was worried about the slow gear change. I few weeks back I discovered by accident the offending switch.. not know what any of them do due to no markings I was a little apprehensive to just press hem all until something happened. Having now driven it in sport mode Im totally in love with it and now only drive in sport mode regardless of the harder suspension.. I LOVE IT. Everybody I know warned me about the electrical problems and Maserati tax but given I paid only $26000 NZD for a car that has travelled less than 40k miles I'm pretty impressed

Headphones on, the engine sounds beautiful JM, your audio outside of the vehicle is brilliant, thanks for sharing

Now this is a video I’ve wanted for a long time. I’m obsessed with these cars. I’ve had 2 4200s but always wanted the gransport. I like the Bianca Fuji color in these but your blue would be a close 2nd. Beautiful car

Ihave an 06 Gransport Limited edition (with the large maserati side badges) i love it and its F1 transmission is actually one of my favourite features, the downshifts are amazing.

Your reasons are fair and as always an accurate assessment. I have the spyder and I often wonder about the decision. Then I wash and drive it. A really big issue to consider is what else has the same capabilities and look and feel for the same cost. The closest is a 997 Porsche which is common as mud by comparison and I have an SC that I prefer as my Porsche. It is a 2nd or 3rd car at best for those of us that can't afford Ferraris. A glorious Italian car which I will now go and wash, drop the top and enjoy the sun and sound.

The manual gt that I own is particularly a pleasure to drive at 27890 miles from 2002 it’s chassis number 12 and my forever car I’ve done silly things to the exhaust but the pops and bangs make it so fun to take on twisty roads in the blue ridge mountains here in Virginia

I watch youre videos for a few years now and really like them, especially the Ferrari and Maserati ones. I have one suggestion for you, id really appreciate if you could tell us the L/100km fuel economy number. I kinda get a grip on mpg by now, but all what i know from engeneering explained is that L/100Km/Miles is somehow a better value to tell about the economy. Appreciate it mate!

Thanks for the review James and sorry it wasn’t for you. I was really looking forward to some decent KZread GranSport content over the next 6-12 months as it is surely lacking at the moment. I bought an 06 GS around 6 months ago and am totally in love with it. Mine isn’t a daily - it is a weekender and it is usually just me or +1 in it. For me, it’s perfect, but could understand how using it as a daily could be frustrating. I wonder if you could mod out any of the issues and give it a second chance? Oh and good to know about the DBW….that was on my list but may bypass it now. Anyway, thanks for the vid and keep up the great work!

Simply incredible! There are several very similar looking Maserati from that era 3200 & 4200 & omg i absolutely love them. They’re in my dream category

Enjoying the videos on the channel keep up the good work 👍👍👍

Always love your videos, well done! Quick hello from LA 😉

Love it . Love it . Love it . ❤ Not a bad word to say. Your final summary about it being "not the car for you" as it does not fit the requirements of lugging folk or luggage around. May I suggest the Jaguar XFR-S ?

Looks amazing and since it's smaller/lighter than a Granturusmo it seems much more enjoyable while beeing driven as a sport car. To me the best Maserati and a total bargain

Thanks J, great looking and sounding car! 🙏🙏

I have the same over in Aus the spec was called MC speciale

I’ve got an 06 plate Gs in the same colour, your car sits low at the rear, these cars come standard with Coilovers, I had my adjusted and set up so the car sits level and a touch lower than standard GS and it’s perfect. I would bring yours up a bit at the back and it should help from bottoming out over humps

Cheers as always for the fab video, keep well.

I have a 06 gransport which when I bought from Brighton and drove to North Manchester. I managed high around 30mpg but I was driving like miss daisy and wasn't in sport mode. But on another journey when I was more used to the car in sport mode and in a slightly more spirited manner that became around 22-23. So far I've not had any grounding out issues even with 4up but looking at yours I think maybe is been lowered just a little when compared to mine. Overall I'm very happy with it

VVT actuators are oil pressure activated, so you need to see if you're down on oil pressure first before replacing the VVT solenoids.

As an XK owner, i average 30mpg comfortably on a long run, ive delighted with it. Offer stands next time you do this drive, as youll have driven past my house (just east of Inverness)

Thank you for your honest indepth review.... Great content, video, audio, commentary, tutorial, demo, editing as usual Im in the market for a Maserati 08-13 4.2L or 4.7L Quadroporte or Grandtourismo with updated ZF transmission & low mileage preferably with up to date maintenance. My understanding is in order to enjoy a Ferrari or Maserati you must drive it hard particularly the early F1 transmission models @ over 3k rpms in sport mode. I believe the variators would last longer if engines were wet sump.. Thanks again & smash the throttle 🚗💨💨💨💨💨

James, having travelled these roads on a bus trip 20 years ago, I agree - a Maser would have been a much better companion! Every time I hear one prodded an evil grin surfaces followed by dribble. I really appreciate your style and varied content. Cheers from Wollongong AUS.

Good luck finding a decent on in aus there mostly the 4200 coupe. I finally imported a speciale version after a rough ride in a F1 360. Love it to bits, tried to upgrade to the grandtourismo but very different car big heavy more like a merc less of a drivers car.

Great, honest interview. Equipoise done perfectly. Thank you and good luck...I'd keep it if you can afford to do so...but otherwise, nope. Get a modern E type coupe...done. Or just an M3/M4. Not pretty cars, but you have ferraris already.

If I recall well, wheeler dealers had similar problem to yours with their drive by wire system in a 3200 gt. It was long ago, but they had a guy who knew what he was doing fix it for them. Maybe the old episode is worth checking out

I wonder how you would like a CL(K) 55? Yes the transmission is meh. But the reliability and engine are good. Good looking and affordable car as well.

Nice looking car,great that Maserati are hangin in there" Scottish road trip high on to-do list! While I,m on I do like the way you combine the mundane with the exotica with some motorsport stuff coming in as well Enjoyed the two Mike Hipperson films( I used to do a bit of business with his brother David) & the Roger Nathan & Maclaren as well.

Great channel great car. Abstract question as a GT car fan have you ever tried silent tyres. Are they worth it? Trust your opinion over marketing bs

I think it’s interesting with your stable of cars that you chose the Maserati for this trip ! Must say something about the appeal of the car ? ❤

Brilliant video - very thorough!

Watched it in the mountains so most of the time 144p quality and constant refreshing and lagging, felt almost like driving one!

Stunning car. Love the body colour. All the best with it sir

Thank you for this review! A beautiful, low mileage example appeared locally… Was considering it given I missed my Gran Turismo, but will let someone else embark on a journey. By the way, please feature more declassified vehicles like you did with the Ferrari FF it was brilliant!!!

I love those cars. Almost bought one a fear years but ended up with something else. Might still pick one up one day! So gorgeous and sort of obscure in a way. Too cool.

Mr Martin ..... I just love your intro theme tune. ... Is it your own jingle, as I can't say I recognise it from anywhere else and I would like it to add to my road trip CD/ Download compilation. Thanks James.

Honestly you told yourself in the episode of the Mercedes C63 that it was the car you should have gotten. Currently running a 2009 Estate example and my only gripe is the 66l tank. I've seen conversions to make it 90l which is what it should have had from the get go. Also definitely for the early 7spd cars get the shift speed upgraded to match the SLS. As it transforms the car. Still uber smooth in comfort, but turns into a right animal when the TC is off and the shifts start going through just a hair shy of an RS3's DQ500 box.

Great video, Scotland looks amazing and the car sounds great. Go check n buy a V8 E39 you know you want to!

I guess it's a sign of the times when a combined 20 mpg is "shocking". Some of us remember cars which shamelessly delivered mileage in the low teens.

More mouth sounds, please. The scraping over speed bumps was wonderful!

Ended up bypassing the skyhook system in my Mito and the car is better for it!

Still the best intro music! Never a big fan of this Maser, but the spec you have is very lust worthy. That sound - an Italian muscle car! Love it! Excellent find! Btw, similar MPG as my old ‘05 CLK55. I preferred to measure in SPG (smiles per gallon).

Put about 20,500 miles in seven years on my 4200 Cambiocorsa. Got it in November 2013 with 42,200 miles. Put about 500-100 miles on it then stored it in Florida for 11 months. Started right up when I got back and I immediately did oil change, but within a 1000-1500 miles clutch totally failed. Looked at paperwork and saw clutch lasted about 17-18,000 miles. Dealership in S. FL said they couldn't work on it for three weeks so took it to a specialist. Mistake. This time clutch lasted 13,000 miles. Otherwise small things kept going wrong, 5 disc CD player, purge valve, alternator, dash button to open gas cap. Dealership left the car out in the broiling sun for days and glue for leather headliner melted as did dash buttons etc, etc. Clutch went again after 13K miles. Then variators went. Ka-ching! BTW, this car had at least $25K of work done on it by last previous owner including FD drive by wire and ECU enhancement software. I did keep up with the expensive annual maintenance $1500-$1800. Then Jan 2021 I replaced tires and brought into dealership for alignment. They had just completed annual maintenance and variator work not long before.They then informed me that car had serious axle and corrosion problems to undercarriage. Estimated $40,000 to repair. Within a week I was in new leased F-type!

25.05 James does cover version of Annie Lennox - "why".

In regards to the suspension when fully loaded with people/gear, looking at the GVM (at least in Australia) you only have 380kg of payload (GVM - Kerb Mass, 2060kg-1680kg). So with 3 people and all of the luggage you may have been getting close to GVM.

James, take it next September to Croatian coastal state road between Rijeka and Zadar. Please, believe me, you are going to enjoy your Maserati like you never have before. It's like you take it to Italy, but..., much better, It was born to be driven there.

The fuel economy can probably be attributed to the transmission. No torque converter to lock up while cruising and lower the revs. Also 20mpg isn’t *that* bad all things considered

I owned a 4200 spyder for 2 years - did 12,000 miles in it. While it was somewhat flawed, it is without doubt the car I look back on most fondly. I've had 911's, Boxsters, S2000, M4 and while they were all great, and in some ways more capable, the Maserati made me feel a way the others never did. Fantastic car (if you can stomach 15mpg!)

It’s an interesting point about onboard weight. I wonder whether there is ( was) an industry standard for testing . This is particularly prevalent when considering you are asked to inflate tyres when your carrying 5 and luggage…. Presuming you inflated for your trip to Scotland, how would this weight as you mentioned bottoming out etc impact other systems ABS breaking distances etc ???

Bootyfyool car review! And a cute car too. It's a shame it wasn't designed with taller people in mind. Otherwise, it would be on my radar.

Having seen this car at Helmingham Hall, it is such a good-looking car in the flesh. I had eyes for this over the Scud. Maybe it's because I'd seen a lot more content on the Ferrari that this, but it just seemed a bit more unusual.

You should run some fuel additive through the system…… I got my w210 from 30mpg to 38mpg with a bit of fuel additive to clean out a high mile engine of its accumulated deposits

A tad thirsty perhaps but I'd say a rather trivial matter for such a good looking, quick sportscar, I'd certainly choose one over a secomd hand porsche 911, more practical too, nice on J, great colour as well!

Cool video, and in Norway known as masse rart i (lots of strangs things insisde).

So my guess for the replacement is a Gran Turismo, another Quattraporte, or a Jaaaaag. There are other cars that would be more sensible, but you won’t be able to resist the intoxicating drive.

I almost bought an 06 back in cali for 11k dollars. Dark blue interior. But it didn’t have a headliner and I just had a bad feeling about that for some reason.
