Vehicle overview
We wouldn't think any less of you if you wanted a 2016 Maserati GranTurismo based on looks alone. It's drop-dead gorgeous, after all, with generous servings of sporty aggression and seductive curves. Eight years after its introduction, it still manages to turn heads and remains an object of desire.

Though dated in some areas, the 2016 Maserati GranTurismo remains one of the most beautiful cars on sale today.
Eight years is an eternity in autodom, however, and the GranTurismo has struggled to keep up with the times. Its infotainment and navigation systems are noticeably out of date, and the car lacks many of the advanced safety features that are available on even non-premium vehicles these days. Furthermore, it trails most of its newer rivals when it comes to objective performance numbers.
On the bright side, the GranTurismo is still plenty of fun to drive: It's got a high-revving Ferrari-sourced V8, after all. Thankfully, the adjustable Skyhook suspension ensures that the car's sharp handling doesn't come at the expense of comfort. Further enhancing comfort are well-shaped and padded front seats and rear quarters that can accommodate smaller adults in a pinch.
Deciding on the 2016 Maserati GranTurismo will require shoppers to weigh these pros and cons carefully. The striking Alfieri concept suggests that a next-generation model is around the corner, and there are excellent alternatives available today that include the Edmunds "A"-rated Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe and stalwart Porsche 911. We also recommend the BMW M6 as a strong, if less exuberant, competitor. The 2016 Maserati GranTurismo will always be a head-turner, with a proper Italian exhaust note to boot, but its advancing age is apparent in other areas.
Performance & mpg
All 2016 Maserati GranTurismo models feature a 4.7-liter V8 and a six-speed automatic transmission with manual control via paddle shifters that send power to the rear wheels. Most GranTurismos produce 454 horsepower and 384 pound-feet of torque; the exception is the base convertible, which drops to 444 hp and 376 lb-ft.
Maserati estimates the GranTurismo coupe will reach 60 mph in 4.7 seconds, with the base convertible needing 5.1 seconds and the other convertibles 4.9 seconds.
The EPA estimates fuel economy for the coupe at 16 mpg combined (13 city/21 highway), and 15 mpg combined (13/20) for the convertible, regardless of output.
Safety
Standard safety features for all 2016 Maserati GranTurismo models include antilock brakes, stability and traction control and front-seat side airbags. Front and rear parking sensors are standard on base trims, but MC and Centennial trims only come with rear sensors. Coupe models also come with front-seat side curtain airbags, while convertibles get auto-deployable roll bars.
Driving
The 2016 Maserati GranTurismo lives up to its name as a grand touring coupe that is equally adept at comfortable road-tripping and tearing up curving mountain passes. The Skyhook variable damping system does a decent job of smoothing over potholes and ruts, while in Sport mode, it keeps body roll at a minimum for more spirited driving. The single-mode suspension in the MC models is stiffer still and may be too harsh for most drivers; fortunately, the Skyhook system is optional.

The Ferrari-sourced V8 is sonorous and free-revving, but doesn't offer the explosive power that its forced-induction rivals enjoy.
The 4.7-liter V8 doesn't flatten your face from a standstill like the turbocharged engines that are so common today. Instead, it builds force rapidly as the engine climbs toward redline, which is how performance engines used to be. With the sport exhaust, the feeling is accompanied by an inspiring soundtrack when the baffles in the muffler open wide. Power is easily accessed while cruising, thanks to quick shifts from the automatic transmission, and Sport mode engages an even more aggressive shift program.
Interior
Like the curvaceous exterior, the Maserati GranTurismo's interior is stylish and sporty. Materials quality is excellent thanks to a liberal use of top-notch leather and tasteful wood or carbon-fiber trim. Shoppers can also pick from a dizzying array of colors and surface materials to have their one-of-a-kind masterpiece.
The honeymoon may be short-lived, however, once drivers begin to live with the GranTurismo. Climate, audio and navigation controls are out of date compared to the competition, as the Maserati makes do with a relatively basic infotainment screen surrounded by small knobs and buttons. Expected features like smartphone-app integration are noticeably absent.
The GranTurismo's front seats provide good lateral support when cornering and ample cushioning for long-distance comfort. Rear seats are cramped but can accommodate smaller adults if necessary. Size is a bigger issue when it comes to cargo, as the coupe can only hold up to 9.2 cubic feet, which is significantly smaller than average. The convertible is even more limiting at just 6.1 cubic feet.
2016 Maserati GranTurismo models
The four-seat 2016 Maserati GranTurismo is available in either coupe or convertible body styles. Both models come in Sport, MC and MC Centennial trim levels, but the convertible is also offered in a base trim.
Standard features for the GranTurismo Sport include 20-inch alloy wheels, adaptive xenon headlights, automatic wipers, heated power-folding and auto-dimming mirrors, front and rear parking sensors, adjustable suspension dampers, a dual-mode sport exhaust system, keyless remote entry, cruise control, dual-zone automatic climate control, wood interior trim, leather upholstery, 10-way power-adjustable heated front seats, driver memory functions, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, alloy pedals, a navigation system with voice controls, Bluetooth and an 11-speaker Bose surround sound system with a CD player, satellite radio, a USB port and an auxiliary audio jack.
The MC adds a lightweight carbon-fiber hood, aerodynamic body elements (spoilers and side skirts), a non-adjustable sport suspension, carbon-fiber interior trim and a faux suede headliner. Front parking sensors are not available, but the Sport trim's adjustable dampers are available as an option. The MC Centennial includes additional carbon-fiber exterior elements, a stiffer sport suspension, carbon-fiber front seat frames and unique interior trim.
Convertible models feature a power-folding fabric top and roll bars but are otherwise equipped similarly to their coupe counterparts. The base GranTurismo convertible gives up a few features (including the alloy pedals) and provides slightly less engine output.

Tech-savvy shoppers may be put off by the GranTurismo's dated infotainment system.
Options are extensive and include a wide array of carbon-fiber trim additions, a wood or faux-suede steering wheel and a tonneau cover and wind blocker for convertible models.

Two cars in One
tekman69,06/16/2013
2013 Maserati GranTurismo Sport 2dr Coupe (4.7L 8cyl 6A)
I have driven sports cars in the 60-100K range before, and have enjoyed the speed yet didn't always enjoy the stiff suspension driving on the pot hole filled streets and highways in and around New York City.
I just upped the ante and purchased a new 2013 Maserati Granturismo Sport about 1000 miles ago and it is worth every last penny and then some.
This is two cars in one.
A sports car … with plenty of power, great handling and a sound that you never get tired of (sport on).
This car is beautiful and will not get old. But the absolute best thing about this car is a push button on the dash that turns this car into the most comfortable long distance luxury tourer for the entire family of 4

The best care we have ever owned!
Charlie Hawkins,03/26/2016
2014 Maserati GranTurismo Sport 2dr Coupe (4.7L 8cyl 6A)
We love this car more than anything we have owned yet and that includes the Porsche 911 Cabriolet, Range Rover HSE, Mercedes s550 and BMW 7 series.
First of all, the thing is just drop dead gorgeous. We bought ours in White with the Pearl Beige leather interior with the black dash and accents. The car has plenty of horsepower (454 hp) and lots and lots of torque. The sound of this … engine is like nothing else we have heard from other manufacturers. Throaty and sensual, loud but still classy. You can keep the sound lower if you stay out of SPORT mode (which opens electronic baffles in the exhaust, adjusts suspension, for speed and cornering (adjusts shock and other components), changes the electronic mapping for the ZF transmission shift points and advances ECU) mapping a kin to putting a "chip" in the ECU. pretty cool! Dou you know what I would have been willing to pay for that if it was an option? Lots of money. Luckily its standard. The cars handling is great, its heavier than the 911 but much more predictable on the edge because the engine is in the front.
This Maserati allows us to take our kids (middle school and high school) with us at any time because there is plenty of room in the back seats. Small to medium sized adults are fine too. The front seats automatically (+ electronically) slide forward to create a comfortable in/out process for a two door, four passenger car. The trunk is not optimal for a Costco run, that's what a bigger car or truck is for anyway. In my opinion, this car is a sports car with eye-popping good looks that provides the luxury ride when needed and its a back road eating exotic when desired.
We loaned it to our friend for a couple of days and when she brought it back, she said "the only way I can describe this car is that its like great sex! , I have to buy one".
Btw, we have not had a single problem with the car in the 2 years we owned it. Its been to the dealer once for a scheduled maintenance.

BEWARE!

2008 Maserati GranTurismo 2dr Coupe (4.2L 8cyl 6A)
This is a gorgeous, fast, comfortable ride that definitely turns heads. Unfortunately, it's full of quirks, and electrical problems. My car has been back to dealership eight times in as many months. Navigation, proximity sensors, alarm system, seat heater have all failed or not worked properly. Dealer has been responsive, but the car may disappoint for this reason.

2012 GranTurismo
maser4me,02/26/2012
2011 Maserati GranTurismo S Automatic 2dr Coupe (4.7L 8cyl 6A)
I recently owned a BMW M6 for 3 years and looked at several cars (Jag XK-RS), AMG-C63, Porsche 911) before buying the Maserati.
Other cars are faster, but the GranTurismo is an exotic compared to the rest. The interior is better than the other cars I looked at, only the Jag comes close. As far as gadgets the Maserati does not provide all that the M6 did (Heads Up Display, multiple levels … of tuning the suspension and gear box). The engine is the difference with this car, exhaust note and torque. The sport mode can be felt instantly in the tighter suspension and throttle response.
The paint finish is higher quality than the rest, leather is also a notch above. Color combo is great too !

Should I lease or buy a 2016 Maserati GranTurismo?
Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
