This is the best car CZcams channel. It's so comfy. No one screaming at me, no 420BLAZEITBRAHH crap, no one shilling some stupid tshirt, no cringe worthy jokes... just direct discussion about cars.
It's b/c Mr.Metcalfe is one of those rare care journalists like Harris that give out informative automotive information. The others are just playing pretend; or trying to mimic them & just catch up at best.
I agree with both of you guys but I honestly think the main difference is that both Harry and Chris actually go out and drive the cars. Even Shmee you wouldn't really see him ripping around a field like that to actually test the car. No one cares about how much carbon a car has we just want to see how a car performs.
Commander Russels You'll definitely love Autogefühl then.
totally agree... couldn't have said it better.
It's because he has a real automotive journalism background, and not a youtuber wannabe, 'support me on patreon' attitude towards his followers and what he does.
"What did you do on the farm today?"
"Drifted a Maserati 4x4."
Legend.
Harry drifting a Maserati about his estate; the definition of class :).
But Harry as modest as ever calls his Estate a ‘farm’👍
it sounded like a tractor at the beginning
the great thing about Harry reviewing a car is his technical knowledge and his fairness.
he tries an ice covered Hill and it fails,at the point most presenters would roll out the 'its no range rover, up this Hill"
but no,Harry goes and fetches his range rover,tries and fails the same Hill (and puts it on the film).
quality review as always.
Exactly. Fair play by Harry , bravo!
Bryan Yes, agree, sounds like a tractor, and although I might love a tractor, there is no way I want a car that sounds like this. I much prefer my almost worthless 1998 XJ. V8 petrol that will scream to 6800 rpm. Trouble is the cars I desire are £100k upwards new. Can't justify spending that, and no way would I consider this diesel lump. I also have a 1997 diesel escort van, in a way it's fun to drive as you can keep your right foot to the floor most of the time without being illegal!
Ecodiesel
"I think it's upset about the long grass" best quote about a car ever
And it's an SUV that's supposed to go out in the wild a bit sometimes... ridiculous.
Crap
I just have to say, such fantastic work on this review! The part where Harry brings in his Land Rover to show that it aswell got stuck on the hill was exactly what I was wondering. Just great work! Thank you
"real world review' and proceeds to drift it around his own field. Harry, you are a legend. It brings me joy to see your channel grow like that in a world full of spotters, Lambos spitting fire in central London and the other run-of-the-mill youtuber specials. Keep it up!
Such a lovely morning landscape.
I could look at those trees and rolling hills forever. It's so inspiring. Thank you!
Harry, you are a legend. Not many people can say they've spanked a Maserati around their farm.
I love your hooning around your paddocks like a young hooligan
Said it before but Harry but you've found the perfect formula for your videos here. Love the fact that the videos aren't over edited and we get a real feel of what life is like with these cars. Great work.
first time ive seen this guy. Very watchable.......Great review
Why didn't the BBC get you to do Top Gear instead of Chris Evans and Co, a missed opportunity on their part as you do great car reviews.
Heil Óðinn Sire cause the bbc want it there way and to the average humanoid he’s to technical. From my point of view I’m with you all the way
Nice to see Harry go all "Tax The Rich" in the field.
Maybe the 15 inch footwell and only selling it in the Diesel version in the UK is Maserati's passive aggressive way of letting them know that they drive on the wrong side of the road.
No way!
Maseratti has lost their styling edge. They used to look so sharp and different. Now their cars look to rounded and generic with a sprinkling of Maseratti bits. Not to mention the fiat parts bin stuff inside
Saw it at Goodwood Revival in September and I like it! Thanks for showing the engine too, most guys car reviews do not show them!
Front end looks like a C4 Cactus. Cannot unsee 😁
future62 Theres nothing wrong with the Cactus
Erik Simonelli Nothing wrong with the cactus... there is something wrong with a 50k car that looks like a 15k one
future62 Just because a car is cheap doesn't mean it has to look bad. Look at the fiat 500. It looks better than most of the dreary stuff on the road today.
Erik Simonelli Like I said nothing wrong with the Cactus... but I don't want my 50k car to look like a 15k economy car, no matter how good the economy car looks. Not a difficult concept
The Cactus is one of the best looking hatches on sale - great looking thing. If this Maserati looked half as good as the Citroen it'd be successful. As it is, it's hideous.
Drifting it out in your field looked like so much fun :)
Brilliant review, as usual... I now want a ten acre field for Xmas and something with a V6 to slide around in!
great video harry but that is the most horrific looking suv on the planet, how did that go into production?
+Liam Beeson-Clune - You're joking surely?! I hate SUV's with a passion but this is actually one of the better ones to look at.
How can this be the most horrific SUV on the planet when the BMW X6 or the X4 exist?! These 2 abominations are the most hideous car designs ever commissioned barring the 1st gen Fiat Multipla and the Chrysler PT Cruiser.
It's substantially better to look at than a Range Rover Evoque or any of the other Range Rover products tbh. It looks hundred times nicer in the flesh than a Jaguar F Pace.
Compared to a Gran Turismo or Ghibli it's not great but compared to some of the above, it's like a super model.
Alex J gotta disagree range rovers look great on the road with good road presence same with the f pace it looks sporty ..but this look neither very boring..agree with the BMW comment tho
I've seen one of these in blue, parked up around Hyde Park. There is nothing about the Levante which stands out. It just doesn't look premium enough for the price, both inside and out.
Alex J agreed BMW easily make the ugliest SUV's
Each to there own at the end of the day, this is my personnel opinion of this SUV i agree others are horrid as well. If anyone is offended by this comment you probably shouldn't be aloud on the internet.
G'day Harry. Wonderful to see you more often! You're my favourite car reviewer by far and I'm sure I'm not the only one who enjoys your truly informative, insightful and entertaining car content.
Couldn't care less about the Levante, but Harry's reviews are so good
I saw one of these in Cirencester a few weeks back, looks good in the flesh, I wonder if it was you driving, it was dusk so I couldn't see the driver!
I thought it was an Infinity at first until I saw the badge!
Great review as usual Harry.
cheers
tony
I sometimes put on Harry's videos and cook my family a three course meal. It's amazing how relaxing and informative these videos are. Stunningly superb.
Well done Harry! One of the reasons I like your videos and appreciate your work is because you appreciate Italian cars, especially Maserati. Cheers!
it's always a pleasure to watch your videos harry, keep going! cheers from italy
Back to the nice videos from Harry. Keep it up
sounds like a tractor but it's so damn beautiful
One of the best video review of Levante diesel so far.
I could watch Harry review a lawnmower and be interested!
Wonderful video, Harry. The hooning around on the field was world class
Classic Harry´s work, brilliant ideas, very clear and direct to what really matters to the viewer. Loved that "red calipers makes you go a little faster".
Your videos are pleasingly honest and enthusiastic. Great. I love the small Maserati logos on the side glass.
That is some unique car. I really like your style of reviewing. Indeed as if it is daily driving, practical, not only the fancy things. Thumbs up.
QX70 looking good.
As beautiful and refined this car can be, opening the video with that dreadfully loud cold diesel clanking noise does not make it justice, Harry...
Mug of coffee, feet up, Chromecast to TV, press play.....
lol
Harry's garage is so much better than all of those other english youtube "stars" combined...
I love your content, Harry! Loved the magazine growing up and its a pleasure to see you online still giving great insights! Now, let's get a Regera. :)
Harry, great review and appreciate your similar perspective of how "common' the interior is, quite unremarkable actually.
Great work on the vid, really enjoy these real world tests.
I wish I had a field to run out off... best thing iv ever seen you drifting that motor Legend
I would never be able to afford Harry’s shoes 👟 never mind some of those fantastic machines but I’m glad someone like Harry does cause he don’t half do a good review.
Informative & fair as usual, thanks Harry, keep them coming...
I really enjoy your tests Harry, you do give the cars some stick!
Great video, but a Maserati SUV causes pain...
Think about it this way. Porsche today is an SUV manufacturer, who also make sports cars. And without the SUVs the brand would probably be dead or at least seriously struggling.
fundiver198 yes, but that's an SUV that drives like a Porsche, and has the build quality and interior of a Porsche. Not a re-badged FCA parts bin special.
+Joe Tacchino You are missing the point. Many people hated the Cayenne, when it came out thinking, that Porsche should never build such a vehicle. But it gave the company profits, which it could use also for improving its sports cars.
And if Maserati is going to have a future and be able to build great cars, they need sales and profits. Its as simple as that. And globally there is just much more sales in SUVs than in sportscars or high end limousines like the Quattroporte.
If you dont like the brand and wish for it to have a future, why are you even watching and commenting on this video? If you would rather own a Porsche, then fine, good for you, buy a Porsche. But we are some, who find, that the car world would be a bit boring, if only the german manufacturers were present in the premium segment.
X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X I think it is ok lookwise ,at least in the front,the rear is anonimous and meh.. you know what is NOT ok? the alfa stelvio, that, is a horrible abomination that should not exist especially since there's the levante out there.
Yeah just like Jaguar jumped into the game as well. I believe they sold more F-Paces in it's first month of sales than the entire Jaguar line-up. I'm glad Maserati jumped into the SUV market as well... not only does it look beautiful (in my opinion) but it's a smart move on their part... because they know not everyone can afford their higher end cars like the Quattroporte or the GranTurismo.. not that this SUV is exactly cheap ( in the US) but it's better than paying 100k+ for the other models. Honestly once I get my degree and the vehicle I have no completely dies, I will probably look at a Levante,F-Pace, or Cayenne/Macan. All 3 look great in my opinion, the only downside is for the price of a base Levante I could get a maxed out F-Pace.
Great detailed review. I appreciate your honesty regarding the various pros/cons of this vehicle. Many other reviewers appear uncomfortable providing this sort of unbiased approach. I think most viewers want this from a review though.
Great video Harry! Looking forward to spring videos.
Well Harry, I always enjoy your videos. Your presentation and style is one of, if not the best in the buisness. I'd like to see you upload a few videos a week. I look forward to viewing the next one!
I've said it before but I swear your accent is like a perfect mix of Jeremy Clarkson and James May.. it's like you must have lived in both of the places they did or something..do you know those guys?
Lord knows why that might be the case and yes, I know both of the rotters you mention in your post..
haha thought so, great channel by the way
Harry is the man! Drifting on the field with a Maserati like a boss. A grandfather everyone would like to have :D
Really enjoying the videos Harry. Keep them coming! even if they are cars I could only dream of purchasing :)
Thats a comprehensive and honest review.
One thing though: The Levante does NOT directly compete with F-Pace and macan (D-segment) but with the upcoming J-Pace, RangeRover Sport, chayenne and so forth (E-segment).
A kerb wheight above 2 tons and a 0 to 60 time of 7 sec, with the standard issue 3.0 diesel, are pretty much standard in this class.
So no wrongdoing of the Maser here...
I love that you just switched it to sport and rally-ed the damn thing down the field haha...brilliant
I heard that Land Rover where venturing in to the two seater low slung sports car market. Using a modern development of the Lotus Europa with a 6 litre W12 engine based on the Rover K series.! Interestingly the whole rear of the car comes off,and it comes with small seats above each rear wheel, so mechanics can get comfy whilst doing headgaskets repairs. It's even going to have cup holders in the engine bay.happy days.
all in all, seems a pretty good first effort. pommies seem to make the best car reviewers, he's quite watchable and informative
Love your honesty Harry, pity about the footwell! Cheers
really appreciate all your content Harry,Loyal subscriber and frequent video "liker".
Another excellent video Harry. I do like your modern car reviews, but i prefer your old car ones more though. The history of them and styles you just cant have anymore. That said though, ill look forward to your next video, whatever it may be. You have a cool job!
Just a dream come true. I love the sound of the car,
Is it just me or do a lot of Harry's videos have an intermittent signal interference buzz that comes and goes? Like when you leave your cel phone too close to a piece of electronics?Regardless, I'm always excited to see a new Harry vid in my feed! Keep it up!
Harry, the ultimate gentleman hooligan :) Respect
Get the petrol version or don't bother. It looks quite good though!
Love the front look
I have to say that this Levante reminds me A LOT of the Mazda CX-5. The size, shape and even down to the long door mentioned in the beginning of the video.
Great videos Harry, you have such a great place to test cars like this. It looks out of place on the rough stuff, it also looks like a Nissan Qashqai from the back. Would never choose this over the F - Pace 3.0 Diesel or for the money the New Discovery.
Love the field test!
As always, thanks for the video. For your info, the radiator shutters at 2:14 are standard on almost all new cars now (even my 6 year old Focus has them) and are generally referred to as a Kysor Shutter.
Maserati needs to make itself the Italian Porsche ... and this is what it needs ... but it needs it when Maserati is much more on people's radar ... Maserati need a Boxster / Cayman rival before it can start moving forwards again ... the Ghibli and Quattroporte are good cars, but the brand is what needs work now ...
Loving your work as always! (reading / watching since Performance Car Magazine, EVO issue #1).
With shots from around your farm I wondered if you could get some really nice footage of off-roaders sliding around fields or cars threading through trees using a camera drone. Just a thought :)
That bong noise at 10:47 is exactly the same noise my train makes when I go over a sleeper...
From his description of the all wheel drive system it sounds like a clutch pack type, and max front power is the two axels locked together.
Somehow, all the great automotive companies started to produce the ghastly SUV , in order to cope with the market..Hence you see Bentley, Jaguar, Porsche, etc....Come on chaps leave this to the good old Landy and produce what you are good at...Proper super/GT cars...
Cheers .
Manufactures are only moving into the SUV sector because that seems to be what most premium buyers want today. At least this Levante is heavily biased to good on-road performance, the handling really was very good for this type of car.
Thanks for watching
Quite right. If I see Ferrari and Lamborghini produce an SUV it will be the end of the wold !
Uhm, hate to be the one but in 2013 it was confirmed that the Lamborghini Urus will come for late 2017/2018.
These cars are often the only thing that keeps large sportscar makers afloat. Porsche was pretty much saved by the sales success of the Cayenne in 2002-2004.
So try to see them as a neccessary evil. :)
Mick Wrinkles I know... I know...From Miura to an SUV...guess I will not be surprised if the market and sales call it to start with tractors again...
Enjoy life !
Cheers
Rather from tractors to the Miura.

Looks like loads of fun.
Was stuck in a traffic jam on the way back from Stansted when a lorry pulled up next to me on Italian plates. Was full to the brim with these.
My curiousity peaked. I went and attempted to spec one out. Before taxes but with the options I wanted (some of which should be already included at this level of the game) the damn thing came out to 108G's Cdn. That's before taxes, fees and what not.
If I was in the market for an SUV and I had that type of cash to blow, I would go for a Tesla instead.
I wish Maserati all the best. Great to see a legendary marquee attempt new segments.
Harry I want to study but now I gotta watch your video!
Great review as always. How do you not have more subs?
It's all about quality, not quantity.
Thanks for watching
the car itself it's a bit of a love/hate issue , right in the middle is where this maserati is , more than the car itself i really enjoy the way you test them and specially off road , i would love to see the face of all those suited executives seen the maserati been thrown into the grass & mud , it's just glorious ! keep working the same way harry , i ve just look forward to your next test!! cheers!
Great review - so detailed, intelligent and comprehensive. You just don't get this anywhere else in these post-print days. (Supercar Classics is sorely missed.)
You've probably nailed the conundrum of the design brief for this car: Firstly, it needs to translate the essence and virtues of a Maserati to an SUV (a paradox) that could even be diesel powered (an anathema). Secondly, it needs to be a credible off-roader but still be a sporty Maserati on-road even though 90% of the buyers couldn't care less about either. (They just need lots of logos and a big price tag as they drive it around on shopping trips.)
That said, I still feel Maserati may want to host a link to your brilliant field test on their website, LOL! (I once did something even more lurid in a mate's 911 Carrera and he complained he got a massive bill for hosing down the mud and grass from all the crevices in the undercarriage. Wonder if the ride height adjusters saved the Levante from a similar problem?)
Looking forward to finding out if the Stelvio has an 18" footwell and great connectivity....
Don't think you will see another reviewer measuring the footwell of the Levante...let alone the Fiat Panda to compare them.
Great review as usual. 👍
Love all your videos, Harry! FYI, wouldn't hurt to clean the camera lens from time to time. It's been a bit smudged on the last two videos.
Great video. Esp. considering that it's a new maseraty and someone takes it drifting in an icy meeadow. Cool!
Have a quick look at Salomondrin's latest video. He starts up one of the Petrol ones and it sounds really good
Thing sounds like a diesel locomotive at idle!
I think it’s a matter of taste, I personally love it...
BEST CAR REVIEWER!!!
Another great, honest review! Shame maserati haven't released the petrol engines in the UK. Really waiting for those to cross the shore.
Me too!
Lovely engine note .
Last week on Harry's garage: Transporting Champagne and a boat engine in a Ferrari.
This week on Harry's garage: Drifting a Maserati in a field on the English country side.
Next week on Harry's garage: ????
Well done Harry.
A 3.0 diesel that sounds louder than a Ford 6.7 diesel work truck. Bravo!
You might think it's strange but I love the sound of a V6 diesel on tick-over. Still think I'll stick with the Land Rover though.
Nice Panerai, and a very good video!
I imagine this is what Harry is doing during the COVID19 lockdown. Doing donuts in his field 😅
"Real world review". Drifts around an icy field :D Great review, as always!
I wonder how much parts it shares with other cars form FCA group
will be interesting to compare it to the Alfa Romeo Stelvio
Harry, how about a test of the 425 bhp V6 S??
Really enjoy your work. 👍
The Pannerai watch Matches perfectly
