Get the feeling he was thinking of, and comparing the car to, a Ferrari. Kind of pointless review then IMO. Especially in light of his previous efforts in the auto 3200. You'd be forgiven for thinking he might have expanded on the ideas and impressions he gained earlier ?
Ten minutes I wont get back anytime soon....

Someone should give him a sorted GranSport to play with, interested to see the differences between that and the 3200. The 3200 should not be compared to a Ferrari as it was done before their influence really took over. The GranSport I reckon has a lot more Ferrari DNA in it for better or worse.

He's reviewing a 20 year old car as though it's a new car. Throttle could need a reset, suspension might be worn and the steering might need an alignment.

He should speak to us who has owned one for good few years. Generic bollox if you ask me.

Why would you give the fool more ammunition, setting the Gransport up for a slating in the process...?
As far as I’m concerned, he should just straight up test an effing Ferrari, if he can get his fat, squeaky asss into one....!
Self appointed YouTube wannabee.


I know what he won’t be testing anytime this side of 2050 - my sorted , non Skyhook 4200 rolling on new V3s with a slick manual box and a lovely V8 n/a motor attached....

I think you are being a bit unfair, I've been following him a while from when he owned a new Lotus Evora, and always thought his reviews to be fair and honest.
He has just bought himself a Ferrari 550, a childhood dream, and has also reviewed many older Ferrari's over the last few years.
You should watch his video's on the McLaren brand and ownership experience of friends, shocking!

I don't agree with everything he says, but he was a nice guy when I met him. He let me jump in his Evora and blast it down the road without him in the passenger seat.

I've been getting a bit jealous as I've wanted a 550 for ages now!

He filmed a vid on my Alfa, cue youtube comments that I looked like Tony Soprano in the passenger seat and that I was about to "whack the guy" but I didn't know if was going to be in shot so I just sat there quietly!

The way I see it is fairly simple - where's the continuity ?
There is none. He might as well have been reviewing a Ferrari.
You wouldnt know he had reviewed, and not slated, an early auto 3200. He seemed to almost approve of the slush box ! In stark contrast, every compliment he offers for this evolution of said 3200 auto was either a back handed effort , or direct comparison to a Ferrari to make the point that Maserati coffe is good, but Ferrari coffee is better. The interiror is nice ( begrudgingly) but the Ferrari ( WHY FFS ?) is better...
Strange man doesnt seem to understand the point of his existence, let alone a Maserati...!!!
And I thought Id give him another go. I think he;s been drinking Ferrari cool aid. Im sure they make a great car but does it serve anyone if a reviewer cant get past a personal bias ?
Im out....
