The best english speaking german reviewer I've ever found

Probably the best review I ever saw in my life. And I saw a fair amount of them... I really appreciate your style. So relaxed, unobtrusive, full of info and elegance. You`re not overreacting nor trashing the car. Neutral yet friendly style. Thumbs up for that.

this guy doing the best reviews in my opinion. Thank you !

Superb review from Thomas at the beginning of his glorious journey.

Based on your lovely review I bought one Ghibli diesel and its a wonderful car thank you a million and also thank Mesarati for producing such a master piece . Danke .Graci .

Just picked up my first maserati ghibli today! Such an awesome car and such a great review!

This was one of the best car reviews I have ever seen on KZfaq you covered all the points I was looking for a true buyers guide like experience, plus the way you commented on interior materials and even minor details like the stitching color on the leather dash, just astonishing thank you

I'm a fan of Italian sports cars: Thanks for this honest and impartial review that I really appreciated.

I really appreciate the review ,very good ! Thanks Joe

***** I dunno why I cannot answer you directly to the comment, but however: Yes indeed, as I also said in the review, I really like the front but they should develop a more distinguishable rear profile.

A very beautiful and relaxed car review. Amazing job. Thanks

very well-made review.well done

Great review!

Very nice review!! And I also like your accent!

You the best test driver!🎉

awesome review as always! Thanks Thomas. I really enjoy all of your reviews, thoughts and feedbacks. I have to agree with you on the rear part. Despite the fact that It confused me many times with KIA optima on the road. Some may argue about this, but It does not look good anyway. BTW, I almost got a ghibli because they have a really good leasing deals in the states, but I ended up getting an A6.

super well done as alway mate!

Thanks for the balanced and practical review. I admire that you acknowledge the emotional as well as the technical impact of reviewed cars. I too believe in the near perfection of German Marques and after an Alfa Romeo selespeed swore never to go Italian again. An Audi cab and two Mercedes convertibles I thought had converted me forever with their trouble free and perfect experience. Now I'm hankering for a more emotional experience and you've convinced me to try the Maserati diesel I wear of my v6 3.2 l merc convertible. Wish we could get more reliability data. As for the rear. Has no one else noticed the luscious Maserati chrome. signature???

Leasing price is the same as a BMW 535d or a Range Rover Sport HSE Diesel so it will be a tough choice. I guess every passionate driver deserves at least one Maserati in his/her life, and this diesel brings it within reach. Don't you think your day simply becomes better with the prospect of this getting you to work and driving you to your dinner appointment?

I have one of these engines in my 300C, it always surprises people when I plant my foot down, they forget how torquey diesels are. It isn't a GT-R but 0-100 in 6.5 seconds in a 2 ton diesel powered car is pretty good in my book! Thinking I may need to upgrade my exhaust after hearing this.

loved the ghibli but went for an xe-s. Thomas is a great reviewer. should have him on bbc top gear! 'emotional ' lol

Great Job!! Thanks!

good review, i have one of these in beautiful blue with black 19in wheels, love it, great fun to drive, a real head turner but it is very thirsty on gas in sport. I.C.E mode is economical but boaring. getting it remapped to 335bhp cant wait for even more rear wheel burn outs.

Good review. It takes time to adjust to the feedback of a (Ferrari like) light steering with non-runflat tyres but THEN, precision with a good 50/50 balance is excellent thanks to the balanced body of a (old Mustang style) big hood/small trunk with the A pillar far behind the front wheel. The new Ghibli market success is well deserved. Philgood

Very good and objective review of a beautiful looking car, altough I agree the ass isn't the best looking ass in the industry. The interior on the other hand is absolutely stunning. Thanks!

Molto competente. Complimenti.

I have to say you seem like a true gentleman. I really enjoyed your review. Very composed, calm and polite. I think the car looks amazing. Something special on the road. I quite like the design of the rear end. Overall it's something different compared to its German rivals. One question though: how was the 8 speed zf gearbox especially in automode? Was it as good as the one in the BMWs? I guess it's the same gearbox with a different(?) software. I drove the Jaguar XF (3.0 Diesel) and Jaguar also uses the 8 speed ZF gear box and I have to say it wasn't as smooth as in a BMW 5 series. It worked well but not as brilliantly as in the BMW.

i think the rear is just as amazing as the front!

15:33 Angela Merkel makes you smile? lol

Beautiful car and .... a Maserati

Just Bought the same car based on this review 2018 model.

when was soft close door introduced on the ghibli - was it 2017?

I didn't know there was a diesel-powered Maserati. Well, apart from the Cummins in the dealership's tow truck.

MASERATI is a nice brand👍🏼

thinking of buying second hand diesel 2016 around £19000 any opinions

Hi, thanks for your good review. Can you tell if the Diesel engine is very noisy from the outside and if you can hear it much inside please. I'm thinking of buying one. Thanks

even better then my denglish skillz love the maserati

You could only buy the diesel if you never drove the petrol...it sounds SO much better, probably the best sounding car in its class. The diesel might be competent but you can get diesel German cars with more power for less money. None do a petrol motor that sounds better though so I think it is the more competitive car against its rivals.

The side and front are beautifull to me. The back is just alright.

Lost it's looks since original Quattroporte design look' like when they removed the "Boomerang" lights from the 3200, design by committe etc... The rear and boot mechanism look like they've been stolen from a Lexus IS ?? !!

You must be like 190cm or so. That means, it's not too comfortable for two pretty tall guys if they sit one behind the other, which doesnt mean that the rear is comfortable for kids only.

beauty contest . participants, ghibli, a7, 6 seies gran coupe, cls, panamera, rapide, xf. my vote. first place ghibli.

nice review, would u mind telling me the name of the music that comes in at arounf 3:14 please?

About the emotional approach, I dont think, they acheive this particularly well by using a lot of swichgear from a Dodge Dart compact car and the entertainment system from Chrysler.

Les voitures allé sont parfaites ? Elles sont souvent au garage pour réparation oui. La fiabilité allemande c'est dans les livres d'histoire.

Is the Diesel engine reliable? I mean is the built quality good considering the fact that it's a Maserati?

6:21 Thomas in the back seat

Please allow me to ask, how tall are you in cm?

The question should be "will it sound like a diesel or will it sound like a - Maserati".

does the car come with speech recognition for the headset and navigation?

It does sound good... but only when you think it's a diesel. The petrol still sounds SUPERB and SO much better than the diesel. Sorry Maserati, you did a great job, but your petrols are still the way to go.

ghibli or panamera?

its a MASERATI ! thats all you need

Outside is awesome, but interior is like Fiat Punto. It doesn¨t fit in such nice car. They should design something that followes ouside lines...:((

The back says Toyota Camry

Wie groß bist du?

Nice car but i prefer bmw 6 gran coupe

Disagree with German "Perfectness". - My Uncles 3 month old, mark 7 Golf broke down twice in one week, resulting in recovery both times - My Aunts VW Continetal (it's not a Bentley) did over $20,000 in repairs in the first year with various problems - My brother's Porsche needed an engine rebuild. It has done less than 70k miles. He still won't tell me how much it cost! Audi, BMW and VW have been the worst and most costly car ownership experience. My BMW for example, with just over 40k, had suspension issues, steering rack replacement, hoses flying off everywhere. electrics were glitchy (not know a BMW without glitchy electronics) ... and gearbox grinding issues. My 170,000+ mile Toyota had to replace a mid-section of the exhaust (around £35) and a rear wheel bearing replacement after 167,000 miles. That's it, total! I admit it kept on eating batteries until I got an alternator upgrade, but i was running a Sundown SA-12 at the time - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/op5da610m7LJgn0.html So again, where is this German "Perfectness"?

it's got BMW front lights, and the back from some Korean thing!! But rolling coal? Na.

Does anybody shares my opinion that German cars are absolutely not perfect? I don’t know but I’m driving a CLS and it’s beautiful and good and everything but miles away from perfect... the seats makes noises and so on and so on Blabla. I drove an Alfa before and was more satisfied and I don’t know why... Anyways I love the merc but still thinking about maseratis and Alfas 😫🤨

Great presentation, but underwhelming car for the money!

The rear looks too much like a Korean car.

Looks like a small Quattroporte. The name Ghibli deserves a more distinctive design than this!!

Why does this guy sound like Borat ?

Just spend a little more for a Tesla Model S, and enjoy much better acceleration with no annoying engine noise and zero emissions!

People not persons! :)

nice car but the navi is bullshit

Hmmm. I like the brand and the design. But the diesel? I dont think so. Yes I know BMW and even Jaguar now mostly sell diesel cars. But I think Maserati is still a more exclusive brand. So buying a diesel Maserati is a bit like buying a castle and then sleep in the kitchen, so you dont need to heat up the rest of the building. If I was going to get a Ghibli, I would spend the extra bit of cash and get a petrol one. And If I really could not afford that, I would just get an ordinary BMW, Mercedes or Audi diesel. Or to put it another way: This is neither a particularly good diesel og a particularly good Maserati. So whats the point?

Maserati Diesel - a contradiction in terms - what an awful thought to put a polluting tractor engine in a beautiful car like that. Save us from yet more particulate and Nitrous Oxide pollution.

Maserati ghibli = alfa romeo giulia 2016

This car is toyota quality. Should be priced at 30 000 dollars

Red doch mal deutsch

Front looks ok, back loos boring and like some generic japanese car

But you are NOT neutral nor unbiased...as you are german and even though your talking mostly nicely about maserati...but you are enhancing german brands saying they are so 'perfect'....you are joking the folks man...by the way I can report bmw's being decomposed within 7 years...mercedes as well and audis as well....audis are the better ones from the 3 germans in terms of finishes and interiors quality.......Jesus Christ...you can't compared 5 series...A6...or E class...with this Master Maserati Ghibli....get some sleep man...lay down....hahaha...'this car has is for 2 passengers....haha....this car has got a small trunk....haha....over 500 liters and you stated is small.....anyway.....cheers and a mix of fun and good video...with goodwill!

I recently to be accurate 10/19/2017 bought a Maserati quarto Porte from @maseratiofsandiego and this car is nothing but a piece of junk, has been to shop for service twice, just noticed they missed stitching on the middle back seat and other issues very poor build quality what a junk, I will loose few thousand and get rid of this junk, I hate @maserati
