The close up at the petrol station of the guy next to you 😄😆😂,brilliant

So happy to find this review. Just bought a 2015 Ghibli Diesel with 91000 miles & still feels solid, no rattles, squeaks or creeks - great power and handling and It is just a joy to drive. These are some serious bang for buck cars now too prices for still nice ones can be sourced for £15K !

The Ghibli has a place in my heart, back in early 2019 my mum was looking at buying a car and the local garage had a 2014 IS 300h premier and a 3.0d Ghibli (both in a metallic gold paint with beige leather interiors). Both were circa 30k miles and around £15k (pre 2020). She ended up going for the IS but I smile when I see one of these Ghibli's.

I have a Ghibli S. It is stunning. It's got the V6 Ferrari engine putting out 410 bhp. A breeze to drive fast and beautiful.

Great video Calvin! Cool car! I can't believe these are £15k with that mileage!! I remember pre 2020 looking at a 2014 model and it had 35k miles on it and it was just over £15k. Just shows you how crazy the market is...

I’ve got an a6 like that one and I’ve been looking at these to replace it so nice one for showing this

😂The zoom on the guy at the gas station was hilarious

Love what you do and how you do it.. thats 'presenting cars' with a smile and humour(?).. brilliant. Loved the Maserati too, I'd buy a car from you.

Mate, your thoughts and words describe exactly my view. Nice one and all the best mate

It’s amazing how little power they got out of a 3.0 v6 twin turbo diesel and such poor mpg too.

I have been so waiting for you to do this car. I’ve always wanted to know what these are like and have been tempted so many times to buy one. Not even watched the video yet - just wanted you to know 😂🤣

I owned one for a while. The attention you get completely outweighed the car itself. Gorgeous to look at. My major gripe was the infotainment which was robbed from Chrysler and quite clunky. Drinks holder was also very small. If I was to go for one again It would be a petrol 2018 + model

I just discovered this channel. It’s awesome, new sub.

The diesels have a sound booster under the car by the exhaust which generates that v8 sound

I keep looking at the Maserati Granturismo, it looks amazing, refined and good performance. I am just terrified of buying one as spare parts are scary expensive, even if the servicing and running costs seem quite reasonable.

Stath let’s cars 😂.great review mate,very informative 👍🏻

it is clear that the Maserati looks and is a better driving pleasure than the Audi. Maserati is on another level. Audi can be compared with VW, BMW, Mercedes, Ford, Opel, etc.

Very very good honest review

The v8 version sound mean too 👌🏽 sick video

Great video mate and I confirm that Ghibli are really great cars.

I really like these always looking them up on eBay would definitely have one

14:34 👀 Proper starer 😂

Calvin I already have a Ghibli diesel and love it! In fact this is my 2nd!

Not many reviews on this motor :) nice on calvin

As a car dealer myself we have had a few in stock over the last few years. Personally I think they look fantastic and are a lot of car for the money, but performance wise I find them lacking. With that being said as a motorway cruiser they are fantastic, smooth and quiet.

I’ve had several Audi V6 diesels. The 2.5 was disastrous(camshaft problems), just as the 3.0 (timing chain tensioners etc…). The A630HP engine from VM Motori is powerfull a low rpm’s, uses 1 liter diesel at 14/15 km at average (Audi’s 1:10/12), and uses zero oil (yes Audi VAG, it ís possible!) The Audi Multitronic an S(-tep)tronic, it is all garbage. It wasn’t a matter of if, but when they would fail, and fail expensively. Just check the online forums. I drive a Maserati Ghibli diesel for many years now, and up till now (110k miles) it has been flawless. The ZF8HP from Friedrichshaven can handle 700+Nm, has been proven bulletproof. So please, the Audi is only on another level in garage bills….. Is it all sunshine in the Ghibli? No it is not; for instance the gear change lever is rather clumsy (later versions form ‘17 are better), and the sunroof gives to much wind noise for such an exclusive brand. But it handles great (50/50 weight ratio)! The Audi suffers from massive understeer because of the heavy engine over the front axle. On the other hand: you want a impeccable steering 4 door saloon? Buy the Alfa Giulia QV….

Frameless windows… agreed I love them until winter where like with my TT the windows freeze and then door won’t close as glass won’t drop 😡

Calv, any comments on a Jaguar XF s 3.0 tdi? Looking prefacelift

Ghibli Diesel my dream motor. I'd still keep the Golf for trips down south and annoy the neighbours by sticking my Blue Badge on the dash in the Maserati 🤣

Are the 20-70mph runs always started in 2nd gear? Or can you start in first

Hi Calv. Here’s an interesting rare one I been struggling to find on you tube - 2017 Jaguar XF V6 S petrol - would be nice to hear your thoughts on that one. Great video by the way on the Maseratti, your car reviews are top👌

Do a video on that G11 7 series 🙏🏽

Thanks for doing this calv I’m looking at one but abit worried about parts and costs I.e water pump is £2,000 at Maserati independent

When you get the poltrona frau interior pack the build quality is really nice with bentley level leather

What app do you use for HPI check Calvin?

Sat patiently waiting for the 335D video to drop 👀💨

You do like your steering wheels Cal haha 💯

What app are you using to check spec?

Calvin! Do you have a guy who knows how to fix an adblue failure in one of these?

I had a choice five weeks ago, a Ghibli Diesel 14 reg with 50k miles or a 17 reg Jag XJ premium Lux Diesel with 70k. Both £18,000. The Jag came with a 5 year premium warranty for £900 or a 1 year warranty for the Maz for £450. So glad I went for the Jag. Returns 55-60 to the gallon, virtual cockpit, heated steering and park assist. Remote climate and start. I believe it shifts a bit quicker than the Ghibli.

Saw it on CoPart.. I was tempted

guy in the petrol station is Mark Catlin. Former CEO of Portsmouth football club. Great Video though

I can’t be bothered to do more research, but Alfa Romeo were aligned with Maserati. Probably using the same dashboard, engine block and safety cells, as those are the 3 big cost items in car building. Maybe the idea was that Alfa Romeos felt like Maserati, but your excellent video (as always) suggests it went the other way 😂

Remember seeing one in London when they were new. Women walking past thought he was some super rich dude driving it.

Hopefully the fuel doesn’t cool the pump or it’s screwed

What about parts and servicing? Looks like euro car parts doesnt have a lot of parts for these. With the germans you can get aftermarket parts from any motor factor. Simple things like filters and brakes.

Just an observation - '1' former owner means it's had 2 owners in total. If it was a 1-owner car it would say '0 former owners' :)

Ghilbi .....haha sounds like the inside of a chicken. That car originally came from Graypaul Maserati dealer in Edinburgh.

Drove one of these a few years ago was very disappointed with it

Lot of varying opinions here on this car, are they good or not. I always thought they were, but never owned one. I'm swaying between this maserati, a 530d ( which i know are good ) or a jag xf 3.0 v6. What's your thoughts?

The engine in this car is from Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles so they probably had a hand in some of the design, hence the american feel to it. I can see what you say by that, I thought with it being Italian it would be a bit more luxury. How would you say it compares to the Jaguar XJ with the 3.0 V6?

Calvin has taken over from Jeremy Clarkson.

Legend!!!

Really want to like these but the styling seems in my eyes to be dating badly. The Alfa Romeo seems a much better looking car despite being the "lower" brand, which doesn't help.

Calvin da car guy 👍

And the soundbox only works when you put it in Sport, and yes, it has a camera at the back when you put it in reverse…

I also own Ghibli Diesel, but isn't it a single turbo?

I bet with a remap with the twin turbos that would gain a lot of extra power.

Buys a car that only has one redeeming feature; the sound of the engine. Then gets the diesel version.

Might consider one. Would it be quicker then a mapped 335d

I honestly don't see the point in these unless you get the petrol. The petrol sounds like an F-Type V6 (god tier) but the diesel is just a worse BMW 535d. It's cheaper inside, doesn't really look any better imo and is a V6 diesel. It's like a Chrysler 300C, the only reason to pick it is if you want to stand out a bit. I mean you could get a Jaguar XJ Portfolio instead for similar money and that's on a completely different solar system inside.

Very entertaining 🙂

good looking posh car but couldnt afford to run it 🤣but love the audi a3 1.6 great all round family car ,done a fantastic job on it so deserves a loving home ,the type ive car id need to replace my 2005 2.0 sri turbo mk5 that had from new with still only 78632 miles on it just hard for me to part with it part of family 🤣😂😂 me fingers are crossed but who ever wins hopefully it goes to a good home and massive smile for someone 😀👍

Zf gearbox by any chance?

I went to the private launch of this years ago. Liked the car but somehow was missing something; many people at the launch were fawning over it because they felt they could afford a Maser when previously they couldn’t. I went and bought a BMW.

A diesel Maserati just doesn't sound right, it has to be a petrol which usually sound awesome.

Awesome car the road presence of these is undeniable

How much was it

Is 24mpg fairly good for a Diesel?? You keep buying cars that are cheap for what they are but for the general public that don’t have connections to get things done cost it gets expensive

beauty love da maserati

Do you think diesels will Re gain popularity as electrical bills soar the electric car market will surely slow. I’ll personally keep my TDI forever

These are single turbo diesels. The petrols are twin turbo. I had a diesel was best sounding diesel I’ve had it would fool anyone!

A what!!!!!!! Diesel Maserati WTF 🤣

As far as i know they are SINGLE turbo

Loverly car

This is no Ghibli. The real thing is a stunning 70s coupe of classic lines and sexy proportions. Maserati lost its mojo in the 80s. Not sure it’s much better now.

I considered one of these but the engine scares me….I’d jump on board to read it was installed with a merc or beemer 3.0 6 pot engine (gearbox will be fine but engine 🤷🏼‍♂️)

Twin turbo diesel thought they were single

Why is a Diesel Ghibli the cheapest. The Diesel type of engines are often more reliable on the way they work.

Whats the point in buying a diesel car since next august they are extending the congestion zone to the M25 and also they are more expensive on fuel at the moment.

looks like a jag

When Gran Turismo?

3k prof just like that

4 wrongs... Cheap. Maserati. Diesel. Ghibli. My old 3200gt costed me 250euro every km. (And i even did all maintenance and revisions myself)

Put in a fiver 😂😂😂

24 mpg is pretty good?? 🤣🤣

I'll never understand the type of human who buys a Audi A6 in 2.0 TDI spec 🥴

Is it a china fake? The driver placed on the wrong side 😂

335d is best deisel engine ever 290 bhp 580 nm and good mpg and that's the e60 the f30 running 313 bhp

Is that your normal voice, accent and diction?, Or are you just putting on an accent for this video?

It's bizarre they can make a shitty 6cil diesel sound like a petrol v8.

Chrysler 300c with a Maserati badge

A Jeep is it? For £90k new .... brilliant , plus you cant put it into Reverse ,,,,, takes some doing trust me !!!!!!!

Street cred, its all about Street cred.

12k

Definitely Maserati over Audi irrelevant of the Audi is probably better it’s a Maserati 😎😎😎

The audi looks pants compared to it

For the first time ever, and I have clicked like on ALL of your videos, we have a minor disagreement. Stellantis didn’t take over until Jan 21, and the American thing is a red herring unless they were designing them to appeal to Americans, which is a slim possibility. You still get the like, but it’s just Italian build quality 😂

Diesel! Low point of Maserati.
