Sergio Rodrigues yep i agree with you so much, but maybe the people that complain about them, maybe can’t afford an used one, who know and cares. And yes maybe you shouldn’t get an car like this to complain, I have an cla45. 2015, and there’s things that I can complain about. But there simple things.. enjoy your car. It’s going to be my Next one, if I can get away from my Benz.. lol.

Liv Stone Very classy sir. I can tell you that I own one and absolutely love it. By the way the infotainment rocks “UConnect, works excellent with no lag, and my power windows also work perfect thanks to the Chrysler parts. Lol and the best part is you get 424hp to smoke all those “Me Too” cars!! Get one you will love it.

Thank you for staying this and I agree with you. I am not paying for buttons. Paying for Ferrari/Maserati performance and feel. I’ve had three Ghibli’s, one Gran Turismo, and looking for a Quattroporte GTS after watching these KZfaq reviews. A detuned 488 sounds good for my soul.

As a Maserati driver I support this message. Honoustly: I drive a Ghibli for quit some years now. It has done 110k miles by now; zero issue’s. I wish I could have said that about the Audi’s (engine, auto-gearbox) and BMW’s (transferbox Xdrive)……

@@dg91xj I have a 2015 Quattroporte GTS that I'd be willing to sell. I love the car, and I'm not actively selling it but it sounds like you really wat one lol.

No debate on how wrong you are

Gabriel Garcia how many miles do you have on it now, thinking about getting one 2017 qs4 grand louse.. nit press about the maintenance, I have ace mechanics.. just worried about how many mike can they go, I have an Benz cla. 45, with no issues, 150,345 miles?

Doing your own services is a must, you can spend thousands getting these things serviced by the dealer/ mechanics.

Have you had any issues from the transfer case and jerking during acceleration?

@@fordstone2725 I have about 65k and no real issues. Thinking about selling this fall. Ready for something new like a NSX or Lucid

Based on your immense experience? I have had many German, Italian, Japanese cars. Never had any real issues with the Italian ones but the MB? Absolute crap.

The older ones have much better interior, true Italian car.

Foreign Creations i Agree .

Your car is way nicer, 4.7 N/A that sounds way better, acceleration is almost the same, way better interior, exterior is a piece of art compared to this one that looks like a fiat 🤣

cyber rednec don’t be scared just get an used one. 2016 and better..

Scrim Time very true

Hey get a used or salvaged one that has just scratches so many people abandon these 2016 or newer and try to save up for a engine swap thats reliable you will get a sic car thats also reliable

Go for it! I bought a 2015 base model a while ago with only 23000km on it. I’ve used it for a couple of months now on my daily commute and she is absolutely FANTASTIC! Hungry, aggressive, powerful engine, the best interior thinkable and second hand they are very affordable! An absolutely beautiful limousine if you ask me!

@@fordstone2725 Why a 16, What about a 2011? I understand its not all wheel drive. I thought anything with the newer trans was a decent one to buy.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for your thoughts I’m glad you enjoyed the video!

Lesia Boelter thank you for ur statement,, it helped me a lot.

I'm looking at purchasing a 2014 GTS. I'm looking for owners who already own at least a 2014 or similar up to a 2016 since they're all the same between those years with only minor changes until 2017. I just need some pointers on repair costs, enjoyability, and just generally what you know about the car.

@@ironman98 here are my thoughts brother. I own a 2016 QP and I love that damn car. LOL. anyways, Reliability? I honestly believe that people that have issues with theses cars are people that don't drive them enough. these engines are meant to be driven and NOT sitting in the driveway. hint why mileage is always so low. Use the damn thing and keep that engine running and serviced. The maintenance cost? its only crazy if you take it to the Ferrari/Maserati service dealers, BUT if they only sale or service Maserati's the rates are much cheaper. But the truth is you can service this car yourself bro. I'm not a mechanic in any way shape of form (i'm a suit guy) but Oil change, Brakes, FILTERS, Sparkplugs can all be done from home, with a few tools enough common sense to follow KZfaq videos. It is really no different than your average BMW / Chevy or Honda. REALLY, no bullshit. Its just about buying the right parts. An oil change out here in the bay area is $650, but you can get it done yourself for $150, The Full service is $2,400 which you can get done for $500 on a nice day off. Etc etc.. The car drives like a dream, it fast, its classy, luxurious and sporty and my favorite... Very exclusive. Find one with the lower mileage possible and service it yourself REGARDLESS of what they tell you. Get new oil, Change the plugs, change basic filters and MOST IMPORTANT clean those injectors. Lots of "Gunk" gets stuck in there due to high performance engine that cause issues If you don't keep them clean. (Only issue I had) Engine started running very rough and then learned of this and never had an issue since then. I was told the car was simply not driven enough the weeks prior. dealer charges you $500 for this service (Yes, its that common) but you can get it done with $20 worth of cleaners and a couple of hours. I hope this helps your decision. this purchase is one of those things YOU WONT REGRET. Find low mileage, Service FIRST, follow maintance schedule and keep the car running and on the road. Oh, AND get as many of the feature you cant live without. You wont enjoy it if you keep wishing it had this or that, or if it was this color or that color. Etc etc. Good luck brother. Let me know if I can help in any way. My name is Elias

@@EliasSreyes Hey thanks, that was extremely informative. Appreciate it. I'll make sure to come back here if I have any other questions. I think my only immediate one would be is this: How long have you had yours, and what was the mileage on it assuming you bought it used.

EliasSreyes good evening,I have an question for you, after reading your message, do u feel that an warranty is needed for this car,I have my eye on one that has only 35,568 miles 2017, grand lusso.. just an bit nerveous, because I would like to keep this car into my 50,s or so, God willing, right now I have an 2014 cla 45 amg.. thanks for your answer with this matter

EliasSreyes facts..

I wish someone responded to this

I'm looking at purchasing a 2014 GTS. I'm looking for owners who already own a 2014 up to a 2016 since they're all the same except for 2017 when they changed some more major things. I just would like to know generally about repair costs, upkeep, enjoyability, and just anything about the car in general.

Iron Man98 I understand where you’re coming from when it comes down to buying such an expensive car, I wanted to know everything that I could possibly know about Maserati and each brand of car so what got me kind of hook to begin with was The Gibley Ginobili and I Collett that for a reason it’s a beautiful looking car it has power but it should not look like that the cost of those cars for 20142016 $20,000-$30,000 makes my Quattro porte GTS look like a cheap car play it’s not it’s fun no a couple bad things about the car the brake caliber was faded I got lucky and Maserati did a new paint job on it now they’re beautiful. The other down part is depends on how you drive your car if you drive your car or you’re constantly peeling out and slamming on that gas pedal which is a very fun but I could actually cost somebody the registration for my 2016 is about $1400 a year in California the oil change is about $700 per year or 12,000 miles tires depending on what you buy and what brand the tires I have on my car 315/25/R 22 those tires range anywhere from $250 to 550 so ranges for any new tire $700-$2200 just for tires next insurance is going to jump up to about $300 just for that car it’s because of how expensive it is to fix the car Maserati had to put a brand new bumper on the rear of my car $9000-$10,000 that includes the pain and everything else so when it comes down to this car it seems like there’s a lot more negative it cost because there is . It’s a high-end exotic car not as high as Ferrari Lamborghini but it is a high-end car it has a Ferrari engine in it but I will tell you this I love my GTS I love everything about it I love the Phil I love the twerk I love the horsepower I love the look I love the rims and tires and sound and everything else I decided to go with the GTS because I do have a family I got three boys and my wife so with that being said I couldn’t go with the Gran Turismo like I wanted because there’s no room in the backseat that Ginobili has no room in the backseat you’re all squished so I went with a GTS because the GTS is pure comfort throughout the car unless you’re 7 foot tall dude or woman or he she. You will fit just fine back there and be comfortable not to mention all back windows have a sunvisor that goes up in my 2016 the sound is incredible sounds like I have a small system in my car and that’s comparing it to my SUV that has a Bose system in it I’ll take the system in this car over the Bose system much louder much more bass now with that being said I would not give up my car. I have a few friends that asked me why I bought it it took me three years to finally buy a Maserati and all my friends are business people they’re only looking for the next team that they can invest in to build their secondary third fourth income that way if anything ever happens we have multiple incomes and they would ask me why did I do it and I told them. You just have to get into it Dryvit fill it for yourself so last weekend he decided to go on the Touro app and rent a Maserati but he drove the 2014 Gibley and he was surprised about how it felt the power it had been a fun car how much you wanna step on the pedal and just go because you know you can I’ve been 170 miles an hour in this car perfectly fine rip the ground like no tomorrow you can feel the difference and that’s switch for the power you can feel the difference in that button or switch for the suspension hugs that ground if you have to go around something. 530 hp behind your hands increase horsepower and torque with the Pedal Commander increase horsepower and torque and sound by doing a resonator delete I’m putting in cross pipe there’s much of other stuff you could do but you’re talking about very expensive parts when you drive down the road people want to know who’s in your car I texted him all my windows including the windshield it cost about $600-$700 to do the nano ceramic tent 50% tax on the windshield my wife already got it. 30% on the driver and passenger and 5% of AR nano ceramic window tape on the rear and all through the car I didn’t wanna make my window tent that dark because the darker it is the more you’re going to get pulled over I still want to people to be able to see who it was Kinda in the car but not be able to see completely now with that being said the positive stuff that you could do to the car just makes it that more enjoyable. Is it worth $700 for an oil change not really is it worth 1400 for the tags not really but is it worth knowing that you have all the speed in your hand and hardly anyone on the freeway could touch you absolutely like I said I won’t give up my car. I sold my Yamaha are one because my wife gave me a choice I could buy the Maserati or get rid of the bike I said bye to the bike and I go and buy another one later on but that’s not the point the point is I’m not gonna give up my car and in a few short years I’ll probably Going to upgrade to a new Maserati I hope that helps you and if you have any other questions go ahead and respond

@@unclejosh1984 Thank you for your informative reply. I appreciate it.

@@unclejosh1984 i just purchased a 2018 gts and love it. Wish i could do something with the tail lights. Have u seen any differnet lights?

@@Munition-Hobbyist honestly the tail lights I think you can look on eBay I know eBay is not the best but there’s not to much of that upgrade there is a few performance upgrades you can get like a beautiful exhaust pipe upgrade the chip your looking at 11k for that But the one thing that I could think of is if you could find somebody that does custom smoke tell lights you can do that

Waqar Aslam true

Waqar Aslam facts

Aaron Harstine yes the older ones had the most issues, the new one has an ZF1 transmission, the same one the s class uses along with other cars.

@@fordstone2725 Great question I'd probably say the Aston but maybe cause its just older.... watch my new video where I tell you the 5 things that will go wrong with a vantage

Thanks! And good luck I’m jealous...

ZF transmission if i remember
