agreed , seems like they're very VERY lazy into making simple changes in refining the car

@@kylegordon9523 It could be the less funding given by it's parent company. I bet Maserati would do so much better if given a lot of funds.

It's so true. I'm a Chrysler guy through and through; and I liked Fiat, Alfa, and Maserati before the merger, so I was thrilled when it happened. I'm not happy about what they've done to Maserati though. First time I sat in one at a car show I was disappointed immediately. The thing that really ticked me off is the insanely cheap pieces like that little plastic (er carbon fiber over plastic) flip door for the cupholders. I pushed on it to open it and almost vomited. How can a $100k plus car be so cheaply built? Honestly though, it's part of the reason I bought my 2018 Chrysler 300 touring with the S package. It's literally 90% of the quality/materials of the Maserati for 1/5th the cost (minus the Ferrari tuned engine and suspension of course). It shouldn't be that way, but it is. The switches are the same, the knobs are the same, so so much is the same it's embarrassing for Maserati and is directly Fiat's fault for not maintaining a higher standard of quality with such a prestigious badge (and also reason for maybe a second look at 300's if you have been considering a large German-ish style car; seriously I picked mine up for $23,000 brand new and if you look hard enough you can find them for even cheaper than that now).

That’s what I’ve always said. They have so much potential but they cut too many corners. I’ve been a huge Maserati fan, but they never try to compete with the Germans. They take too long to add new equipment to their cars, that ZF transmission that everyone has hated for years has FINALLY been phased out.. they don’t try hard enough and for that they fall short. The cars they make are beautiful but for the money you could get a German car with more tech and features, so I see why Maserati isn’t as popular as the German offerings.

You got a detuned 530hp ferrari v8 twin turbo in this maserati. ECU tune stage 1 would get you to 600hp. It looks better and sounds better than the german's, plus no clutch in this maserati.

still have it? can you comment on how's it has performed in these past three years? I am interested in this car, has always been a favorite of mine but terrified on maintaining it...

Exclusivity? It’s the cheapest of all those other 4

@@user59371 no it isnt

⁠@@glonl4334I stand corrected; in order of highest current price for 2018’s, it goes 1. S Class 2. LS500 3. Quattroporte 4. 7 Series. Feel any better now?

@@user59371 No

Same...

@@Mashburn007 ... You’re so pretty?😂😂

@@roccotarli762 wdym?...😂😂

Ouch.

Oof

Johntyson that’s more like the old 3200 and the 4.2 CambioCorsa. Since the Granturismo S, Maserati has improved a lot in terms of reliability.

MadDrummer100000 “Improved a lot” only speaks to how truly horrific Maserati was in the past. The fact that they’ve “improved a lot” and are still worse than most is hilarious to me.

That was Cold 😂

The 19s have an improved shifter and it works much better

Yeah, damn, agreed--glad it's been fixed

pretty much straight out of a 2013 Chrysler 300 just a different design I deal with the 300's every day they make that exact noise and are just as annoying.

The chassis are pretty great too, as are the looks. It's sort of an old-school sport sedan: good looks, good materials, good powertrain, good chassis. Forget the tech. (Because even an upper trim Camry is more impressive)

year, miles yours has?

A common misconception, The M5 is a V8, the M4 is a twin turbo V6 putting out pretty much the same 0-60 and HP as the Ghibli SQ4.

I set mine up to show outside temp.

Just think yeahhh really

Zackery Jones its a v6

Vahan Vahanyan it's a V8 didn't you hear him say V8

Whatsupevrybdysubaruxwrxfanhereeee...

lol true. #whatsupsubaruwrxfanhere

It has them, they are optional though.

HillBilly Ass Ram STFU...

Also, this car would be absolutely amazing at maybe $40,000-$60,000 but at this price you are just paying for the badge, not quality.

For the money, the Stinger.

😂😂😂😂😂

classic

CLASSYC DEMURO !!!

You put this GTS version next to an s550 and it looks much better. RWD, ferrari v8, 1900kg, amazing sound.

Smokes the tech, but not the reliability. That tech always fails, which is why a used S-Class can be had for little money. And what do you want, a car for driving, or a mobile tech fest?

Il piccolo borghessuccio è giusto che guidi una sicura Mercedes le maseerati vanno lasciate agli uomini che vogliono vivere sensazioni vere

please, have mercy

Abe Coulter hmm..didn't know that. Makes me want to chew gum

Some people like the look of the carbon fiber on the interior of their car. It's nice to look at, not necessarily functional.

Unfortunately it's not even okay it is subpar quality even for a midsize $26,000 sedan compare in the US they are far better in quality than this piece of shit! My neighbor has one it is falling apart and the body gaps and the quality of materials are shit and the transmission has already failed after 2 weeks! Junk pure junk

@@polebarnexperts Lies pure lies. I own one and it’s absolutely magnificent!

Most Italians are shorter.

Piersandro Mannino cuz no one would buy the quattroporte then.

@@nbaldo003 Pretty much. Maserati should put its shit together like alfa did and really attack the germans.

Why didn't they put it in the Gran Turismo?

After this video I went out and rented a Ghibli and a GT for a weekend each. Honestly there isn't a tremendous difference in the power or feel of the different engines. Both sound Amazing & handle great. Having the V8 extra power to accelerate from 60+ is nice and the GT does exactly as you command, very responsive. I get some of his complaints about the car but frankly its not near as bad as Doug makes it out to be.

The ghibli is for people who are too concerned about saying they own a maserati but dont mind having a terrible car

krezo you must not know anything about cars

SoundMan1985 Or pretty good. Lol

Lol

you're batshit crazy

ty the koenigsegg enthusiast same in a heart beat

I have the window sticker that proves it is.

This Quattroporte GTS starts at $138,980.

Sadly this car would lose to a genesis g70 3.3tt in a straight line. And it's only 52k maxed out

Wedow LOL . Same can be said about the S class , Audi A8, Bentley, etc. Your comparison makes no sense. This is a FULL size luxury vehicle.

thepeeps07 Correct. I have one. Faster than 4.6 by a good margin. My friends Lexus claims 3.9, I’m faster.

1st gen was sexy as fuck

Get a 2007 maserati executive GT fully loaded rides way better than this overpriced cheaply made pos

Elephant In The Room Now it makes sense.

I dont see that, but Kia thanks you, even if you are an idiot.

see one in person its a different story

I just learned something
