I don't see why some people see the 3200 GT as an alternative to a Ferrari or other exotic cars and see it as the poor cousin. A Maserati is what it is and does not need to be compared to anything else as a close second etc. The 3200 GT is a fantastic well made car and has the build quality, performance and styling to go with it. It is exactly what it is, its a Maserati 3200 GT and I appreciate it for what it is. Using this amazing car as a constant close second comparison to other cars I think is very unfair and is usually judged by those who have very little technical knowledge or understanding of what they are talking about. I own a 3200 GT and also several Ferrari's and I can tell you that they are every bit as good a car. If you want a Ferrari then buy a Ferrari.. If you fancy a 3200 GT then buy if for what it is, and not because its a cheap alternative for what you actually want.

You're way too biased, people see Maserati as Ferrari's poor cousin cuz Ferrari owned Maserati and marketed them as bargain buy Ferrari's but early cars had notoriously bad build quality and the automatic transmissions are unreliable so they got a bad rep resulting in their used market value to nosedive and that's why people see it as the "poor cousin" but you shouldn't take that as an insult sometimes the poor cousin is more charming and down to earth than the rich playboy.

I do agree with you, having said that, not everyone is as fortunate as yourself. I own a maserati gransport, lovely car and an absolute blast! But to me it is no knock on the car to say I bought it as a cheaper alternative to the Ferrari I wanted (a 550 or 575, or a 360). Because as much as I appreciate the car on its own merits, and in many ways it is superior to the 550/575 and 360 (I've seen a 550 and 360, so I can appreciate their weaknesses too), it is ALSO an alternative to those cars that is significantly cheaper. And that's a GOOD thing in its own right! It means I can enjoy the car without as much worry, replace it if need be, etc. It also means that I am happy to acknowledge that I wanted a Ferrari 550 and settled for a fantastic alternative instead because I could afford it. So as much as I agree with your advice, and I appreciate the car on its own merits (and recognise it is likely superior to the 360 and 550/575 in many ways too, maybe even as an overall package given its equal speed, low down torque and 4 seats in a sporty package), I also recognise that being a cheaper alternative to the Ferrari I wanted was a part of the appeal! Would I have bought a maserati gransport if I could get a Ferrari 550/575 or 360 for the same money? No I would have got one of those probably. The fact this was a cheaper alternative to a Ferrari because it delivered almost as much car for a lot less, was one of the reasons I got one!

I prefer these 'boomerang rear lights' to its newer model!

I have a maserati gransport, I've looked at 3200s before and to be honest, I am a bit torn about the boomerang lights. Sometimes I like them more, but sometimes I think they would have needed a visual update to match the styling of the gransport. They don't quite "go". Personally I think the gransport just nailed it in just about every way except not having a manual option

Great content Jay. Liking the lines & sounds of this & the later 4200 cars, which I hope you get to test soon!

There's not a lot I can agree with here! In terms of running costs if you know what you're doing and seek out a good marque specialist it really isn't that expensive to maintain if you stay on top of things. The comment regarding the boot only extending into one wing is because the battery is mounted behind a carpeted door on the other side. I have a 2002 manual with only 35,000 miles on her and absolutely love it! ❤

Hi James love your videos... watch them all. Would love to see a Jag XK8 and XKR. Cheers 👍

The reason the 6 valve engine was not produced, is the fact that optimal / maximum efficiency of airflow is achieved with 5 - Yamaha put intensive research into this... Nice review James

I like your new intro , cool cheers for the review , great cars them Maserati, I see them in there own exclusive class , not common ,, cheers Shane uk 🇬🇧

Thanks Jay. I have a manual one in a fantastic condition - I had an easy fix for the annoying throttle : Spring installed underneath to feel a resistance. It changed everything. The only other annoyting thing is the plastic of the switches becoming overly sticky.

Already owned a Maserati 3200gt in blue.. Year 2000 manual transmission but was horrible to drive specially towns.. So I transformed it into an automatic1990 transmission from a Mercedes v8.. It's most reliable and marvelous and drives smooth and powerfully wonderful... I can send pictures if anyone interested... And anytime I can change it to its original transmission back...

Nice review! Would like to see a nice F360 Manual review, they are for some reason a very rare thing on YT.

I had a conversation with Maserati at the time of the introduction and the reason for the tail lights changing for the US market was it was felt that it was too strange or different for US buyers...We have a Gran sport with the 430 engine and the car needs upgraded suspension and wider rubber and a stiffer roll bar and upgraded software and it is wonderful....

Jay the reason you felt the throttle binary (or or off) is because that car actually has a major issue about to play out... there is a worn sensor in the electronically controlled drive by wire throttle body that leads to the binary all or nothing response of the throttle pedal. there is a gebtleman that can be easily found online who disassembled the part and rebuilds it which is far cheaper than the cost of a new factory one (which itself will ultimately fail in the same way)... it would be worth relaying this go the cars owner.... sell it now lol

Nice car! The last time I saw one of those was back in 2017. What an epic brand Maserati is. I am big fan of Italian cars. Let’s wait and see how the upcoming MC20 will look like.

these are fun cars and i feel the last true Maseratis they made of this era. I modified hundreds of these cars 4200 coupes from 2001-2006. They are so inexpensive to purchase today but the issue is obtaining parts is difficult and your left with second hand parts from salvage cars and there are not many of these laying around for parts these days. I was very tempted to buy a Gransport last year but got cold feet after a customer of mine had a Gransport and needed parts and they exceeded the value of the car so he junked it. I hope Maserati revamps their entire line up soon with good cars .

The parts situation is dire, they really need to discount the parts prices for older models, it would help the residual values and they'd sell more genuine parts. They treat them like Ferraris which have a much higher value. Maserati must have the worst car value to parts price ratio of any brand

Love the Eric morecambe reference 👌

I think driving a Maserati is cooler than driving a Ferrari. It's less "See Me ! See Me!!",

The first proper test I've seen on the Assetto Corsa. I do remember having a test drive of the standard 3200 GT when it came out, and the Official Dealer made me very wary of the fly-by-wire throttle, they clearly didn't have much confidence in it. I always fancied an Assetto Corsa in Maserati red, and I think it would have mainly been bought by Maserati aficionados rather than by simply business purchasers of the time, so if you can find one they should have been maintained in reasonable condition. Undoubtedly, the 4200 Coupé was a better prepared car than the 3200, although less stylish in my opinion, and I would look forward to a review of it.

Ideal car for you neighbor to own. You get to hear her start up,admire its shape,get a lift when she is running right,BUT don't have any worries about the maintenance costs or restless nights thinking about the maintenance costs.

I have a Maserati two tone air horn in my MG TF. My father brought from Halfords for his Ford Orion, about 25 years ago.

Guess it needs more fettling to achieve greatness...nice one jay

Did the power steering groan at full lock? The one I test drove many years ago did :( Nice car but I suspect the build quality was lower than required of a premium brand.

The GT with Boomerang rear lights is a classic already! The manual version is a GEM

I went from a 3200 GT manual to a 550 and then to a 4200 manual and another 3200 manual at the same time! My first 3200 had such a hair trigger throttle, hill starts were a nightmare, it was on a standard exhaust, I enjoyed it apart from the servicing costs, very practical too. After the 550 I bought a 4200 manual - fantastic engine, better seats but the manual gearbox was awful, the 4200 box was designed to be a semi-auto first and foremost and you can tell. My second 3200 manual was awesome, throttle had been modified and it had a Larini exhaust. Compared to the 550 though they are miles away which is reflected in what you pay. Compared to a 456 auto I'd possibly pocket the change and have a 3200 auto or 4200 CC. I prefer the 3200/4200 to a DB7 and first gen XK/XKR but the second gen XKR 4.2 is the unsung hero in the sub £20k GT market for me - quick and reliable with sensible parts prices, the 5 litre though is apparently not as reliable. 911s whilst I like have been the most unreliable cars I've ever owned so wouldn't consider a 996/997 at all unless it was a 997 Gen 2.

3k for a clutch in a gransport is cheap! But to be honest, my Gransport has been cheaper than both of my previous Alfa's, mainly due to timing chain instead of belt. A clutch on a gransport that's not driven daily could last 10 years, which is 2 timing belt replacements on a v6 busso - and almost the same cost! Of course, if I needed suspension or other work the costs will exceed Alfa's, but I was ready for that and so far it's been cheap to run

I owned number 23 in the same colour but unfortunately Auto. A special car, the steering was a little light but nice and fast, and the engine felt super strong after sorting out a few issues. Wish mine had been a manual (although crankshaft endfloat was a worry). If the steering on this one didn't feel very sharp there could have been something a bit worn. For example to replace some ball joints you have to change the whole wishbone. I want a 550 :( This was as close as I could sortof get!

Didn't the Bugatti Type 35 have 3 valves per cylinder?

You’re a machine! 👍

The weird pedal feel sounds to me like poor calibration of early eThrottle cars, as this one has. I remember an episode of Wheeler Dealers where this was a specific concern of Mike and Edds, and I think it turned out to be a potentiometer and they bought a re-conditioned electronic throttle body, which seemed to fix the throttle response.

Do a video about the Ferrari 550 being a cheap alternative to a Bugatti Veyron, so then people can start making little of that car too.. The 3200 GT is a cheap alternative to no car...

Almost as beautiful as my Alfa Romeo 156 Sportwagon in Alfa Red with tan interior.

Re the Boomerang tail lights. I can assure you that in Australia they were outright banned, while the existing models were legislatively considered good enough to remain with their owners, but no additional ones were to be imported. In addition, I was informed from a separate source that the same problem occurred in a lot of western European countries such as the US and UK. Instead of changing the rear lights, Maserati simply focused on the newer model that was due in a short time.

It (finally) dawned on me the other day where Kia got its styling cues for the Stinger GT (especially rear) - this Maserati. Is it mere coincidence both are front-engine/ RWD and have twin-turbo V-engines of a bit over 3.0l?

The boomerang tail lights weren't carried over because of one reason: cost. LED tail lights were a lot more expensive to manufacture at the time. Which is a real shame.

Sort of like an upscale Toyota Supra (the old one) not a sports car outright, but sports gt.

Makes big difference when you switch from Ferrari and test other cars. Previous review of 3200gt, before owning 550 Maranello, was completely oposite and Assetto Corsa should be even better as regular. Next review try after Fiesta )

The only notes that it does play with in the right order are those in your wallet😂

If only it had a flat plane crank, maybe we could make an exception........

Badge, Price, Sound, Interior, Comfort, Exterior, Engine, Gearbox = Tick. Suspension, Steering = Crash. Sadly i won't be buying one, after reading informed comments.

Part of owning a car is making it your own. It looks to me like most of the issues on this car can be mended with proper engine mapping, an aftermarket fly-by-wire throttle etc. It's not like you'll void the warranty, is it? After all that's done, you might actually end up with a baby Ferrari, and it will remain reasonably cheap.

I do agree with him on the running costs though as I considered buying one myself only to find that things like the brakes & clutch had to be replaced every 10k miles & when you’re talking £2500 for a clutch that can only be done with genuine Maserati parts & £700 for a set of pads it ain’t cheap?

It is idiotic and plain madness, as evidenced that no-one has put that into successful production. 2nd Qte: "rumours says that it was something with this manual gearbox that caused many engine failures in these cars".. Maybe they forgot to change gears..?? They´re not otherwise an integral part of each other beside the clutch. Bizarre statement.

This car desperately needs fresh suspension bushes, I'll wager. After that, let's evaluate the steering and handling. I'm neither 'defending' nor 'picking on' the Maserati, this happens to every old car. Yet, it hardly ever comes up in our evaluations of them. Instead, people think: 'Well, these old cars just are not nearly as stable and precise as what we have today'. P.S. You think YOU are an obsessive gearhead? Ha! Hold my peace pipe! I DIY-replace ALL the rubber bushings in ALL the vehicles I buy. It's a big hassle, it's not exactly free, but it's absolutely worthwhile. Well, only if you'd like your car to drive as it should...

A far from good-looking car in my opinion. Combine that with the high maintenance costs and the dubious desirability of Maserati generally, and it wouldn't ever make my shortlist.

Take the engine away you have a car no better than a ford mondeo ghia x, other than the glorious engine noise I’ve not seen such an uninspiring car in my life!

The interior looks awful. Reminds me of a cheap fiat
