‘Life is too short to not have a Maserati’

There is nothing like a MASERATI GRAN TURISMO BEST V8 OUT THERE!!!!!!

I own a GranTurismo Sport MC in Blu Sofisticato exterior color, and matching blue leather in the dash with blue contrast stitching in the interior, like this one. Simply put, the best car I've ever owned. Timeless design, best sounding V8 ever, handcraftsmanship fit and finish quality, comfortable ride, smoothest power delivery.

MASERATI STEALS THE SHOW

I have a 2006 GranSport 4.2 V8. It’s been missed with Larini decats, Tubi exhaust, Firmula Dynamics Drive by wire, ECU tune, lowering springs and beefier sway bars. This car is an animal…for how heavy it is. People fail to realize is that this is a GT and NOT a Sports car. These cars are built for high speed traveling…150 mph +…all day long….sure it’s finicky, but that is just the passion coming out. Porsches are a penny a dozen…it’s like driving a Mercedes/BMW/Audi…..NO PASSION. This gentlemen forgot to mention that this is a 3200 Twin Turbo V8…a classic car. A lot of reviews of these cars are done with poor examples of the marque…because maintenance is so HIGH…but it’s worth it. I always get looks and thumbs up and everyone wants to race me. 0-60 -> 4.4/4.7 top seed 180+ with a normally aspirated V8…no hair dryers attached….just 4.2 liters and 420ish horsepower with my modifications. This car also pulls like a scolded dog and NEVER runs out of breath. So yourself a favor….buy a Maserati, a good example….don’t be cheap, do the maintenance and my GOD lose the boring Porsche/Mercedes/BMW/Audi blahness…..do something different for once. You WON’T regret it.

From some angles, the Aston Vantage reminds me of the Honda S2000.... My Masi GT doesn't remind me of anything except a Maserati!!!

Every now and then I come back to this review. I think it is because of the passion Valentin talks about the Maserati. Makes me even more proud owning one myself.

I bought my 2016 Maserati GT new and have not had one single issue with it. It is a head turner and the sound hands down beats all other cars (based on many comments and my own biased opinion) - LOVE MY 2016 GT!!! - New Subscriber here

I needed to have the Maserati exhaust note in my life, so I bought one a year ago and I have never regretted it.

Great video Valentin, thank you Sir! You must have had so much fun filming this! I have. a Maserati and love it so much for it's Italian style and V8, every journey in it is special, and that V8 is just epic.....! - A friend has the same 4.3 Vantage in hardtop as you drove here which is also gorgeous. I think the choice comes down to whether you want the old British class of an Aston, or the somewhat more flamboyant Maserati. Both beautiful cars, and both make the world a better place when you see them on the road, especially when you are behind the wheel! Keep up the good work! ;-)

I love your love of the drive experience. I’ve got a 2013 and it’s exactly as you describe

"Tapered" is the word of the day. Wonderful video Valentin, like always

How timely I came across your video. At this very moment, I am considering an '09 Vantage or.......a '14 Gran Turismo. Even though there's a price difference, the one I like the best is the one I happen to be looking at, at the moment. So, your video didn't help. LOL. Both great cars, and the decision is a difficult, but wonderful one to have. Thanks for the comparison.

Love the video! Thank you for making it!

Videos are very well shot, and Valentin sounds like Scarface narrating each one, haha.

Thanks for another excellent video 👌🏻 Just Subscribed

Valentin is the... Aficionado!! Great review. Thank you for the content!!

I have been watching your reviews for years. The quality has improved bit by bit to the point where now it is excellent. Good for you, let me know if you ship to Canada and maybe we can do some business :)

Bought 2010 Maserati convertible two days ago absolutely in love

Great review....I've had a gran turismo s 2012 coupe and an aston db9.2 2014 coupe.....cant go wrong with either

Hello my friend!!! I love the content you put out on social media.

Pairing these two manufacturers was a great choice. Because they both build their cars from their own past. Thus, they always represent a more conservative direction of sports car construction. The Vantage clearly evokes the smooth lines of the db4 gt zagato, while the GranCabrio carries on the legacy of the legendary 450S sports car of the ’50s and its predecessors in its design. But I have to say the Maserati starts with handicap because the classic lines never prevail with the vibrant colors. Perhaps it would have been more fortunate to choose a specimen painted with Grigio Nuvolari. The other downside is that the first series of GranCabrio was more aesthetic (as usual) than the second one here. The classic design has fallen victim to the desperate effort to win the graces of growing younger buyers. Thus, Kevlar covers were included, which should rather be left to Lamborghini and his associates. The Vantage was fantastically hit, especially with the rear view of the car, which seemed a bit unimaginative at the time the Maseratin was released. It's not so dangerous with today's eyes. The problem with AM is (as usual) with the aesthetics of the instrument panel and steering wheel. It’s simply not the cockpit of a sports car, it’s an American limousine. This sight is always sad, just like the db9, which also has a fantastic look. Here, the Italian gains an unimportant advantage, as we still see most of our car from the inside. But I add again, not thinking about this parrot color scheme interieur, with the carbon platelets. (sorry). The sounds. The Vantage combines the sounds of an ancient British sports car with the ripples of American muscle cars of the ’60s. The Maserati is a typical Italian, starts from a baritone and arrives at a roaring tenor. Both are unique and pleasant. But the tenor boils the person's blood better ... But of course it is subjective, as are the previous ones I wrote above.

Great review again Valentin ...keep them coming...I like the Aston but the Maserati will always win my heart, and that’s why I bought one and I bloody love it.

Damn the Maserati sounds amazing! I’ve been looking between this and the f type jags. The Aston sounds amazing too!

Wow ! Liked and subscribed too , if i were to judge by your video quality i’d atleast think you have 750K subs but i guess people don’t appreciate your hard work 🤷‍♂️.... thankfully i do !!! Great job 💯

If I see this color combination come up for sale in my area, I will be powerless to resist it. That Maserati is stunning.

Maserati is the true ultimate driving machine. It checks all of the boxes - classy, sporty and the infamous Italian V8. I love Aston’s as well, but like you said: life’s too short to not own a Maserati. Also I really hope your channel picks up soon! I love the content, you deserve a LOT more subscribers!

Hey Brother Valentin, nice video and by the way, our next purchase from you will probably be Maserati :)

Both are purest Art!Cars like this make you in love. But the Italian one ist not reliable as the Brit. Ps.of course the weight of age difference is on the Aston,next time compare it with the new Vantage.

I’ve always been a fan of Aston Martin’s sleek designs, but this Lamborghini’s design features are amazing, especially the interior leather’s contrast with the body paint. Wow! What a car! Valentin always has the coolest car videos!

I don't own such a car, in fact no car at all yet, but damn the grin I get from watching and especially hearing that Granturismo>;)

Both are stunning cars. A fairer comparison would have been to have a 2014 Vantage so same model year. As mentioned the 2014 car would have had 4.7 V8 and 420hp plus the robotizes manual would have been second generation so slightly better. The Maserati colour is simply stunning with the tan interior.

I own a maserati gran turismo in blu meditoraneo. Best car I ever owned. Dr Jekyll is wicked sport mode. Mr Hyde is quiet and more subdued.

I have a 2007 V8 Vantage. Did fancy a Maserati Gran Turismo before but people kept putting me off saying they were nothing but trouble....and they lose value. Do still love them though. Who knows....maybe after the Aston i might go for one. Nice video my friend.

I miss my mc gran turismo, sounded amazing, drove so nice, not the fastest thing but I did keep up with a 5.0 on the highway, this was my cruiser, and it is very dated but so are Bentleys from 04-2011, they keep their looks and the quality is amazing, I’m deff in the market for another one.

Nice double review. For me, the only slightly disappointing side of the Maserati is the rear... tail lights are nice but they aren’t as sexy as the rest of the car. I think they got a bit lazy back there. I’m not sure you mentioned the color of the Aston... is it tempest blue by chance? It doesn’t seem 100% silver/gray.

I was planning to buy å granturismo until I realized I cannot fit in it. I did not even check the trunk, but now I realize how small it is too.

Maserati is my favorite. The MC. Great review. Esti Roman? Salutari

Myyy man. I have watched this videos 7 times going getting ready to buy mine. You need to review some lambos and Ferraris please

The masi color combos is amazing!!

Val, you are the consumate car salesman..bravissimo!

You got the Robert Deniro going on bro..😎

I had a granturismo 4.2 with the exhaust of the 4.7 with valves always open its a dream sound wise but i would love having the last one with the new infotainment system and install a novitec supercharger on it since it is not fast oem

What about resale value and reliability?

Bewtiful mate!:)

I have the Maserati Ghibli (in this blue colour) and have been wanting a GT ever since. But I just can't believe how thirsty they are. Would cost me about £25 every time I wanted to visit my friends a few miles away.

Gorgeous machines

The Mas looks perfect when some wheel spacers are added. This bring the tyres level to the body which is the main thing lacking and briings a very much more aggressive stance.

Love my GT! Incredible car!

I love them both but I think my choice would be the Maserati because of the sound and that beautiful interior

Seems like these two should have been the subject of more comparisons. I have had some of the older Maseratis, 2004 and a 2005 and they are fun cars. Way larger these days. Always sort of wanted a DB9. Still do. Would shoot for a 2009-2012 coupe. The vantage doesn’t seem like the best comparison. At this level it should be the DB9 against the Maserati GT. I think they spec out performance wise very close. The “Maserati” name seems to get a lot love and they are fairly common in Florida. Of course so are the Astons. If life and BTC permits, think I’d still shoot for the DB9.

Hey guys! On a somewhat unrelated topic, at which year did Maserati/Ferrari fix that known-issue with the Variator valve causing the engine to starve for oil upon start up? Thank you to all that respond. Ciao from California!

What's the beginning song?

Is Maserati reliable enough?

Frumoasa treaba!

It's difficult I'm a die hard Aston Martin fan and I would say take the Aston for sure but the sound of the Maserati it's magic for your ears

On build quality alone the Aston Martin hands down .

0:10 wow, didnt realise the Maserati is soo long, love it iven more now, more space and comfort.

And I love the sound of Ashton. Analog

Which is more comfortable for the taller gentlemen? Or should I just keeping day dreaming about owning a 911?

Two beauties. Love them both. I would get the coupes. Even prettier.

how much is the blue car going for

I love both even been a Maserati Owner

In the doubt i will take both!

Aston the best piece of art❤️

Life is too short not to have a Maserati 😊

Great review, in the UK that’s a gran cabrio.

Sorry to be a pedant but it is a Grancabrio, the Granturismo is the hardtop coupe.

Owned a 2011 gran turismo convertible and regret selling it. Looking to purchase another one because they are intoxicating.

Love the Maserati, but they could learn interior design/finish and quality from Aston... to much stuff borrowed from the Fiat/Chrysler parts bin like buttons, multimedia screen and other small stuff... makes it feel less premium... But the body design and engine... Maserati is BEAUTIFUL and has the engine sound to match! 😍😍😍

That Maserati is georgious! #mydreamcar

You can’t beat an Aston Martin its simply art and sounds great James Bond is right 😉

What is the name of the interior leather, please?

Should have compared the Aston to a Maserati from the same decade, before the styling became more aggressive, like the 4200 GT or GranSport. I like the understated exterior in the cars of both brands from that decade.

Love this review...for the record I'd pick the aston

The Maserati is just fantastic!

My only complaint is the Maserati doesn't come in manual so I'll have to go with the Vantage,

Maserati is a piece of art , a timeless unique car with Ferrari V8 engine which produced for 12 years that means a lot!!

That sound from the Vantage though

I don’t know what he’s going to choose but as a girl I’ve always liked Ashton. And it won’t change

just bought a Maserati GT and omg I’m so glad I did!!!

Man who is the guy he have the coolest swag ever😎😎👌🏾

Its a big dilemma for me when i win the lotto 2 of my favourite cars ever wow

Not a fair fight, compare it with the same Year, V8 Vantage S Roadster. Than you get a diffrent result. You wanna be, Adriano Celentano or James Bond ?

10:59 for sure, black wheels from distance just look like a black spot, u dont see the shape of the wheel, the beauty of wheel. this car need some hot wheels

i loved both,looks are prettier

My Dream Car!🔱

Good1

Maserati it’s just a lifestyle

this guy look like Mike Wolfe's bother.....from American Pickers

Aston Martin is an icon and it’s design is timeless. If u wanna feel ur James Bond every time u drive.. Maserati? I dunno.. the brand is getting cheaply made not like the older modes, and not as well made of other cars, probably in the same level of Jaguar not Ferrari or lambo, this model has not changed its design from 2008. U see Maserati everywhere but not an Aston Martin..

Why not compare 2014 to 2014???

GT all day! .... loving my GT MC

Soz but that’s a Maserati GranCabrio not a GranTourismo

Forza Maserati!

The maserati is rare as a four seat convertible or coupe-they are actually useable rear seats.

One car is significantly older than the other.

Flat Plane crank case wins it all! Maserati!

Did I miss something which does he prefer? Me, Maserati by a mile not even close.

I like these cars but somehow I can’t let go of my classic AMC Gremlin. It’s purple so yeah.
