Maserati's NEW MC20: The Good, The Bad, and the WTF 

Always funny when a random fast food man tries to explain style and quality to Italians.

The worst part about a Lambo is the owner.

These are available in non carbon fiber for poor people as well..... That was epic 🤣

You want this car to feel like 500 k supercar. In my opinion it's not like that. This car is in between supercar and normal car. You can drive it and enjoy every day. Maybe little bit expensive, but with this doors and beauty it will sell and will be appreciated. Italian cars were never about quality, yet we love them. I like it.

This review is pretty off the mark IMO. Watch every other review of the car from Chris Harris, Steve Sutcliffe, Henry Catchpole and Matt Farah among others. All more respected in the realm of automotive reviewers/journalists. They've all loved the car. I've also driven all of the competitors and this car stands out. It's was designed with weight saving in mind. It's got a carbon fiber monocoque made by Dallara with a dry weight of

"Non-carbon for poor people" LOL. Gotta love it.

Hilarious as always brother. In 4-5 years when it's 120k, I'll be first in line and be happy to drive the sh*t out of it. Because of the power, lifting doors and looks, it will never go under 100k

I have to say… this is the best looking sports car at the moment! Simply perfect proportions..

Man I think you make the most brutally honest car reviews on RU-vid!

Have mine for 7 months and 7k miles, not a perfect car but an amazing experience driving in all conditions. It wouldn’t take much to make perfect maybe another 20k better quality parts/leather. Engine/trans/suspension is really dial in and I feel very connected to what the car can do. I think there is some compromise due to designed for both gas and electronic and I’m sure will likely improve with future production runs

I honestly prefer my yellow mc20 over my Ferrari 488 🤣

Dude you lost credibility when you weren’t sure if it was a V6 or an inline 6. Lol

I just realized that it has many components from the Alfa Romeo Giulia... for instance, the center airbag cover and two of the Call buttons and the roll selector in the steering wheel, and many many more, exactly the same. Stellantis is saving a lot of money sharing components from cheaper models into their premium ones. They share everything among Maserati, Dodge, Jeep, Chrysler and Alfa Romeo.

Wow, PJ, you've instantly become my fav car reviewer with thus brutally honest review of EVO's Car of the Year! Please, please, please do similar reviews of the Ferrari 296 GTB/GTS and McLaren Artura as soon as you can get your hands on them.

You are crazy. Maserati looks beautiful, interior not the best, but supercars usually lack off, but everyone hates Maseratis. I love it and will do forever.

Disagree with you on mc20 depreciation. Demand is high and all 2022 sold out.

I find this review quite bizarre because UK motoring journalist Steve Sutcliffe was raving of about this Maserati! one of the best cars he's ever driven he quoted! This review highlights fault finds little non important details like buttons, switches when instead he should analyze and concentrate on the most important aspect of car which is the engine! which is a masterpiece! yet he hasn't even opened the bonnet to show on camera! given us any numbers on performance etc...

Probably the best review I5 ever seen on any car.....honest, regular, but informed commentary. I would buy a car from you. Thanks.

The sound can be hacked, the interior parts not so much. This car looks beautiful in person!

I agree. This car would look great with a full gloss carbon exterior package.

If you want a luxury car, you should probably get a rolls Royce. At least it has Lambo doors. The interior quality in the huracan or an average supercar is no better tho.

My man sounds like a hater 🤷🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️😂

THIS GUY IS CLUELESS. THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST RAW SPORTS CARS YOU CAN BUY. YES IT DOESNT SOUND GREAT. BUT TAKE IT TO THE TRACK AND WATCH YOUR JAW DROP. EVERY SINGLE PROFESSIONAL REVIEWER/CAR MAG , ESPECIALLY EVO HAS NAMED THE MC20 PERFORMANCE CAR OF THE YEAR. THIS GUY'S NOT THAT KIND OF DRIVER.

This was EVO car of the year (people who know more about driving than any magazine) over the 296 gtb, artura and toyota GR86.

Finally, this gentleman is honest about the value and desire of the consumer. Totally impressed with the fact that he didn’t placate the manufacturer and approached it from the desires of the buyer. I subscribed and so did my friends for that very reason. Please keep up the good work.

That’s a very interesting video and could not agree more. Last summer, I placed a deposit on a MC20 Cielo fully loaded msrp 368k. The dealer seems completely disorganized, It’s been a real nightmare dealing with the dealer. Fast forward 8 months now Feb 2023 and my car is to be ready Nov 2023. Now I see 5 pages of MC20 for sale on car guru. This has me thinking, apart from the design and doors. This car doesn’t really compete with Ferrari 296 in that price category. I regret to say I decided to cancel my order and now fighting to get my deposit back. In the mean time I purchased a fantastic 2015 f12 silver with only 2100 miles. 😂 with extra cash added some novitek exhaust system.

Most honest and necessary reviews on the inter-webs 🔥

The most honest car review I’ve ever heard. Definitely do more of these reviews.

I'm also a multimillionaire and I completely disagree with him Maserati MC20 is one of the best New cars on the market right now. Good guy. Bad video. Have a great week!

i used to work at Porsche as a test driver. Got a chance to drive a trade in maserati once. The cheap buttons, and the overall budget feel was surprising for a 150k+ car. If i had the money, i would never buy one. Rather get a Porsche

Great video PJ! This is why the Corvette C8 Z06 is a bargain supercar. Even the C8 Stingray sounds better than this MC20.

The "mansory" version of these do these justice! Just brilliant, 720hp, wide body, carbon everywhere! Also, an interior to match.

It Does have ceramic brakes. And the reason doors are carbon is because whole tub is made by dallara, plus f1 engine tech. Exterior is supercar heaven . You are SO right about Interior man, I saw the leather seats, total trash .lol it to bad they didnt go the lambo route with interior. Massive missed opportunity. That being said, I don’t think you really drove his car because it’s very very fast

This Car looks incredible.

They sell about 1300 mc20 a year worldwide. The price will go down a lot in a few more years. Right now is 170k already

Just worked on one of these, and agree. Inside feels like any other toyota/hyundai etc. With alcantara wrapped around stuff. I would never guess over 200k unless it has some amazing track performance or something.

we need a review of the 296 GTB! the only man who gives us honest reviews

The trans knob I think is supposed to resemble a yachtmaster bezel?

I never was a Maserati fan but the car do look amazing! Think this is a test for them to see what people complain about and in the next generation (if there is one) they will correct the issue!

The Car and you need the same thing a real Diet 😂😂😂

MC20 EVO magazine 2022 car of the year beating out Mclaren Artura and Ferrari 296GTB

I own the ghibli, levante and granturismo....probably the most honest review ever thank you

There are versions with optional upgraded interior (laser cut alcantara with blue inserts) and extra interior carbon package. Can you review that to see if it feels more premium.

I think these are first world problems. When you think of Maserati you don’t think of it’s top speed, the exterior speaks for itself. That’s exactly what they did here for a fair price. Not every car needs to be as equal as other cars. Look at Dodges interior vs sales. This car deserves a little more respect cause I thought it was a million dollar car when I first seen it.

21:16 is exactly how it panned out. I predict a $110k market for this upcoming (maybe not the Cielo)

I like this car because it's a fresh look on and exotic car. I would purchase this car over the competition simply because lamborghini, etc have very little full updates. They all look the same for the past 6 years. Nothing fresh about them. I do like your reviews as a person whom had and have many exotics to compare it to. I still like the look it is fresh and not a repeat of the hum drum exotic look. For as function. I don't need a car that wants to do 200 mph every day but has the capability of doing so.

I’ve seen your ads & the algorithm provided this MC20 review, so I decided to watch & listen. TBH, I like your blunt approach. It’s different than most RU-vid/Industry reviews (at least this one is). Most reviewers aren’t saying the things that you’re saying or approaching vehicles from the angle that you’re approaching. Kelly’s Blue Book or Car & Driver, used to have a similar approach, although not close to what you’re doing/saying. Although I’m not familiar with the Maserati, I find myself nodding in agreement. A dealer paying $17k over sticker for this car, a car that could lose $100k in 2 years…that has to be nerve wrecking. Good analysis & video. Liked & subscribed.

That car rips man🏁 I have done a ton of homework for a new track car. I pick mine up this summer. A few people told me I’m crazy to take this over a GT-3 Cup Car.

I am blessed and own an amazing factory matte black Huracan. When the MC20 was first announced I thought it was the best looking car in the industry but didnt pull the trigger for the fear of how bad Maseratis depreciate and the build. I test drove one of these twice, on the streets and highway; I dont have the same opinion as reviewer. I thought the build quality was unbelievably good. You must see the car in person, the looks are amazing, one of the best in the industry. It is unbelievably/surprisingly fast. Him complaining about the door handle I dont understand. Porsche GT's (unbelievable cars) that cost the same, if not more, have pretty much the same thing and no one complains about it. The interior is one that you're going to love it or hate it. I like the minimalistic look of the interior, some may not. Some exotic car interiors are just way to busy on the interior. While driving fast speed do you really want to be distracted by a whole bunch of buttons, I don't think so. The sound is the sound, do you really expect a V6 to sound like a V10; I would hope not. Overall I still found the sound pleasing. In closing tho, I will admit that Maserati built the MC20 to change their image and try to rid themselves of exactly how this reviewer feels about them; I'm not sure the MC20 will do that but I still do believe its an amazing car. In regards to depreciation, only time will tell. But lets face, almost any car you buy and drive off the lot depreciates. I think most dont buy are car thinking they are going to make a prophet when they sell. The last three years was just an absolute fluke and we wont see that again in our life time. God Bless you all and enjoy what ever car you like and can afford!!

I like Maserati for years just never invested, I lost interest for awhile because like Volvo, they didn't do any major upgrades. When I saw the MC20 I was crazy about the body and engine but the exhaust sound needs help. The interior irritated me because it did look cheap. I see a lot of people customize their MC20 but I can't see purchasing a $250,000 having to do major interior upgrade. I'm waiting another year to see where the price goes.

Brilliant Review,PJ your commentary style is bar none keep it up!

Trashing the car...maybe he works for Porsche....

Now today can get it for 160k. I love that car

I had a Mas and I had the same issue with the buttons. All of the buttons were the exact same as you can find in a Mazda 3

Comparing Ford and Maserati was so helpful. So much clarity! 😂 👍

It must be nice to have so much money you can shit on dream cars.

Gm already been putting those mirrors on their Camaros, vettes and some trucks I believe.

So basically the mc20 is a super bmw i8 It’s probably worth $100k to $200k Sold!!!!😊 let me get it with the carbon fiber options. *whispers* I don’t wanna look poor. Lol 😆

Good detailed review. The MC12 is one of my favorite cars of all time. This, the 992 911 and Lexus LC500 are probably my favorite car designs now. It breaks my heart that the MC20 build quality and fit/finish is trash like the “lower end” Maserati Stellantis/Chrysler parts bin cars (Ghibli, Levante, etc).

Nothing worst then walking with empty mini coffee cup 😂

They definitely missed an opportunity to have something special. It will be a nice car at that 150K-160K range, and hopefully in a year or 2 someone will have found a way to tune it and make it bit more exciting. It looks so good and has a nice presence. Thank you for another honest review!

They may be sold out, however they will be selling, very quickly, on the used car market when customers realize they made a mistake. Unfortunately, for some, they have to own it before they realize there are better choices.

If I’m looking for a track day car I’m getting this I think it’s great I like the look and 620 hp is plenty and I’d drive this over the Ferrari and McLaren v6’s!🧠🤯🔫

MC20 is better than the McLaren F1.

Thank you for your review. I get my Notte Saturday. We'll see how it feels and then maybe get out of it in 6-12 months for a small profit.

Kudos for this review, you called a spade a spade. I test drove this in ’22 and my immediate reaction was that this car carries an artificial price premium that can’t be justified by car’s quality or any kind of supercar feel. It’s just a high margin product, that doesn’t deliver on its promise. It feels generic, like they purchased a bunch of different stuff from Chinesse manufacturers and put it all together, making it totally soulless. Sound-wise it’s close to high powered turbo Ford Focus than entry level supercar like Audi R8..

This guy explains stuff well. But to be honest his in car stupid camera angle. And calling people who don't buy carbon parts poor passes me off. I just don't want everything in carbon. Also he calls people poor and classless yet I guarantee u he was one

found a few listed in FL for $182,000 and $189,900

You can tell you’ve never been in or driven a 2017+ masersti. Driving a 2014 doesn’t make you a masersti expert. You’re 100% wrong on all masersti cars. And there are no damn FIAT parts in this MC. I’m a huge FIAT fan and there are NOOOOO fiat buttons.

You can find most cheap cars in China to have monitor on rear mirror . 😂 maserati only makes shittie cars. Your review is excellent.

Maserati,mclaren,ferrari..3 brands quality is very bad..3 of them brokes down so easily you spent most of yout time at repair shop.instead of driving on roadss 😂...stay away from 3 brand..😂😅

My SMG-II in my old M3 had a lovely click but plastic paddles. Changed them for longer aluminium ones for the win

The host might come across as pompous or a prima donna but his prediction of where the market value would settle in for this car is aging well

He is trying to convence that the MC is worst than Lambo. 😂

😂😂😂 bro I can listen to this guy talk about cars all day lol he too real

One year later they’re going for 170 😂

Maserati owners get painted as status chasing fools a lot. It’s a rough wrap that’s not always deserved. My daily driver is a Levante Modena s because I don’t wanna be another Range Rover sport, cayenne, glc , g wagon, or x5. It’s nice to just have something different

I really wanted to hear your opinion on this car because I thought it would disappoint. Probably not for the right reason though.

He is right ✅️ I am looking at one for less then 200k

I think it's one of the best looking cars, fantastic design. I'm not sure I could live with those cheap paddles or lack of tactile AC control.

Pejman hardly says anything nice about most cars, but I think he's right on the money. I bought my Granturismo at about half the sticker price 4 years after it came out. M3 was cheaper, faster and more athletic, but driving it back to back with the Granturismo, and there was no comparison in terms of neck breaking ability. The V8 Vantage came close, but it was plagued with reliability problems and was underpowered. As I look at the MC20, I think the same thing. Wow it is gorgeous, and like the previous generation Granturismo that had a dated and questionably designed interior, more than willing to look past it, when this comes down to around the $120k range. At $170k, it would still be a hard pass for me, and I'd be surprised if they move much volume at the current $250k range. I think it will still be far more reliable than any McLaren, though. Those are fun and fast cars, but they won't stay together. My Granturismo has been very reliable over the past 7 years. Only time will tell if the MC20 was built as well.

I think this reviewer doesn't care much for Maserati's in general. Just sayin. Some of the nitpicks were not issues at all imo. An example is controls on the steering wheel. These cars come with ceramics as an option. Power-wise this car is doing 60mph under 3 seconds. The doors are DIHEDRAL. Saying doors up kind of lost me. After having said that I like the brutal honesty and I can believe that if this guy says a car is great then it probably truly is lol.

Perfect example of people that know nothing about cars other than aesthetics and car value, acting like they know what they are yapping about. 🤣

Dude! 💯 nailed it!! Car is underwhelming at best. I was bored. My old m5 comp is better. Way better. R8, better, 570 s better, turbo s wayyy better, huracan wayyyy better, superleggera way better, db11 better. I have no clue how people get behind this car.

Like a rich kids complaining about not having enough toys….

That steering wheel and paddles are straight from the update Alfa

This guy wiped his sweat all over this car 😂

I actually feel sorry for this dude. He reminds me of a chick with a high body count that’s been ran through. He seems to have money, and a nice home, but he has no appreciation of beauty. This is what happens when you have too many options, and too many resources. You can have anything you want, and appreciate nothing. The Mac-20 is a beautiful car.

Best Car Review I have seen in a while ! New to your Site !!! Great Job !!! PS !! X Maserati Owner

The Maserati was good but we all know that the greatest thing in the video was the Cuban Coffee 👌🏼

One year later, plenty of examples under $200k and dropping. Looks like he'll be correct in his pricing assessment.

so what are the good things about it?

What you say is the reason why the used market for the Masarati is bad. Therefor they don's hold value much, therefor PPL with money see it as bad investment. As long as they choose to stay in this loop, the cars will not get better quality and sales stay linear... If they going to make revised special editions that tackle these "problems" they will not advance. Then the loop continue.

My 2019 Infinity QX 80 Limited has an LED rear-view mirror so it's nothing "new" or exclusive to Maserati. And while the Ford GT is exclusive, it didn't put Ferrari "out of business."

So do think they can give this car a 3yr run - 2026 and improve on the Quality of it and keep the price point where it is by adding some quality touches here and there to Compete with others in this price point. The reason i say that becuzs it's a great looking car one of the best out there as for as design they hit it out the park just need a little top Notch quality on Certain things.

LOL, get real. People mistaking his crass comments as honest review?

Considering how few copies of the MC20 the company builds per year ,they coulda had a 3D printer create all the buttons and trim for the 3,600 or so units Maserati builds each year.... < dumb > -- and the high price could be justified and the resale value for the first buyer would be a value. Instead to took the easy, low-value way (similar to Ford, lol) and cheaped out.

Ok I own all 3 cars I was looking to get 1 myself I have a Bentley Maclean and maserati granturismo sport so my next either mc20 are Lamborghini hurricane thanks for video ...

LOVE THIS CAR, Absolutely not worth a quarter of a million dollars, maybe $150,000 but that's probably how much it took them to build it so they'd make no profit.

I assume there's no place to put your cup down either, in the whole neighbourhood...
