Why are so many people disliking this? Is it because he speaks the same way Doug demero does just with an accent? Come on, he's obviously practiced alot and the video production is pretty good for a small KZfaqr.

A big thank you to all those who gave this car a bad review, I could never have afforded to buy one without you. A lot of valid points raised in the video. Yes, it is a status symbol, you are paying for the badge. People hardly notice a BMW, Audi or Merc anymore they are almost as common as the Nissan Joke.

You can get over for 25k. That's a hell of a drop from 80k in just 4 yrs.

KZfaq has given birth to an Asian Doug Demuro! Love it keep it up!

Former FCA employee here. I agree with everything this man has said, except for the infotainment. Chrysler's Uconnect system is the easiest system to use while cruising at 90 MPH down the highway 😂

Doug the type of guy Oh wait wrong video...

I love when you close the trunk. You are right! A car at that price should have virtually no noise when you close the trunk and doors.

I had a 2012 5 series bmw, 2010 C350 sport and now a 2017 Ghibli. All good vehicles and the Ghibli it is a fun ride every time I ride it.

Keep up the reviews man! You're very personable and likeable. Keep being yourself

Most luxury cars depreciate a lot in the first 3 years, even BMW and Mercedes. It makes more sense to buy a low mileage certified used car. And if you want a reliable luxury car, get a Lexus.

Nice video man keep it up I subscribed !

VERY nice review..Im impressed with the fluidity and plesantly well informed flow and delivery. And VERY professional. THANK YOU.🙏

I have had 3 Maserati's. The main reason the price drops is the maintenance, after 3-4 years the car starts to fall apart. Everything will cost $3K to $5K to fix. You have spend around $5K to $8K a year to just drive around 8K-10K miles a year. Lease only never buy. You can get them cheap zero down for $549 a month at dealers in LA (don't put money down), their is nothing special about this car or any Maserati for that matter. Sales have fallen from 46K units a few years go to under 10K this year. They have no innovation, technology, or new models coming, they don't care so why would you. If you buy any Maserati you will be disappointed, even when you sell you will lucky to get $20K. I sold my first QP to auto nation for $22K after buying it used for $67K with only 1,200 miles after 4 years. My friend paid $85K new for his and sold for $28K 4 years later, don't waste your money folks.

The point of this car is the motor and the suspension, and after that the fine Italian interior, and of course on top of that the marque cachet. The car delivers all of that in spades, so it lives up to its intentions and promise. This is a luxury/sports hybrid, like a BMW, but whereas the BMW puts the emphasis on luxury, this Maserati puts the emphasis on sport, and your 5.5 second 0-60 mph rating, along with the astounding top speed you mentioned puts it at excellent performance. I have the S model with 404 horsepower vs your 345 horsepower and my top speed is an insane 170 mph. If you like that idea, here's your car. You don't make mention of the most oft quoted fact of this car, which is that the motor is designed and manufactured by Ferrari, and getting a car with a Ferrari engine for even $80K, come on, what more do you want dude? My car has the shifter paddles and I use them all the time. Unlike cheaper systems that are mounted to the steering wheel, these are mounted on the steering stalk where they are always in the same place, right where you need them, and they are rock solid and sturdy. I honestly didn't understand what you were complaining about the buttons on the back of the steering wheel, but any trashing of the paddle shifters is unfounded. Also the German made ZF eight speed automatic transmission is a miraculous accomplishment in human history, is highly respected, and that one or other ZF models are used in most all high performance and luxury cars. Any denigration of that transmission is also unfounded. I can agree on some of your thoughts about the look of the cockpit, but at 170 mph do I really care? BMWs are fabulous cars. I've had four BMWs and loved them all. BMW also has plenty of hate you can find on the internet, they aren't as good as one might wish at the price they charge. My BMW friends were teasing me "Yeah, Larry used to be a Beemer guy. Now he looks down on us." I said "No, Beemer is a fabulous car. I love Beemers. But....I could never go back." The Benz interior is not as nice as the Beemer, never has been and I guess never will be. The Benz you showed still reflects qualities of the former industrial, non-luxury, tank like mentality of Benz's of the past. Some of the elements in that interior are present in my 1999 Benz, they haven't modernized as well as has BMW since way back. The interior of the Ghibli is fine, that car is all about the motor dude. Also the rims of the S model are like sparkling jewels, very very nice. Finally, let's be honest, people buy these expensive cars to show off, for their family, their friends, their co-workers, for themselves. Such people could buy a Toyota, or a Lexus, or a Camaro, but they want something with more pizzaz. In that deparment nothing, absolutely nothing, can come close to competing with a Maserati at the $80K price point. To get that cachet for that price is a bargain and a privilege and a life altering purchase, don't even mention snaring one with 5000 miles for half that price.

Love your videos man

Stumbled into this video as I was looking for reviews about the Ghibli. I like how comprehensive you are about your review. Subscribing to your channel now. Keep up the good work, mate!

Maserat's are like yachts. Happiest days are 1st day purchased, and the day it's finally sold !

Great video buddy!

Nice job on the video !

The Asian Doug demuro

Hey, you should do a review on the 2014 Maserati Ghibli vs. the 2018 Maserati Ghibli. From what I know the quality was upped substantially. I'd just love to have a side-by-side comparison to see if they fixed everything and if it's still worth it-especially since the 2018's have already fallen towards $38,000.

Nice job with the review! Keep it up !🙏

I have driven my friend's brand new 2017 model. Yup the interior is quite mono type. Step on the gas and the car roars beautiful. The trick is in the exhaust flap opening up when car is pushed. Tried the standstill dash and was impressed with the sprint. Of course, it's 3 litre and performs great like any other car of this capacity.

This is gold. I like this delivery more than DeMuro. Keep it up.

Great review brother!!!!!

Thank you very informative!!!!

I love your honesty!👏

Good job sub!!!!

Good review. Very in depth

great video thank you

Your the best do not give up!

Great video! 👍

Good job on the video my friend! You are a good auto journalist.

You just got a subscriber man! Kepe it man!!

Hi everyone! My new video is here. I have taken many criticisms and suggestions and am happy to share my latest review with you all: E89 BMW Z4 sDrive 35is review, filmed at Angeles Crest Hwy. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fsqipaVikp7Oln0.html Please feel free to check it out. This time no test drive footage was lost 😉

you just earned yourself a sub!

5K oil changes and 100k/7 year coolant flushes make a Maserati have 100k+ trouble-free miles. What makes owning a Maserati worth the maintenance costs is the exhaust sound, leather quality, seat comfort, and performance. I have sat in a 2017 Maserati and the seats are the comfiest.

New subscriber here! Look forward to future videos!

$80k no. But at $30k… it’s a deal!! 👌🏼

amazing video, very thorough.

Great video and review. Was thinking about a 2018 cpo might go with a bmw 540i MPK homegrown here!!!

Good review. There is a Ferrari/ Maserati dealer by me that has a thousand Ghiblis' just parked there.....They cant give them away. Now the Quadraporta ( big sedan) is a truly beautiful car along with the Gran Tourisimo (2 door sport)

This is why I prefer the 2018 models and up. Despite all the hate it gets, I have an odd liking for this car.

I love your review. I’m a fan.

the front passenger door is a bad color match on a repaint. i been working on theses cars alot lately not super impressive

I liked the review I found one the same year same price and had suspicions. Thanks for the review

Hahah i dig your style. Subscribed

Excellent video bro

Great vid bro.

This 345 hp base model did not cost 80K. More like 67K. Mine is 2014 SQ4, (S=Sport and Q4 = AWD) and it was 80K brand new. It has 2 tone leather including on the dash and doors, carbon fiber trim, 20" wheels, Shift paddles, and 404 HP.

Jesus that license plate placement is an eyesore.

that's great, I'm thinking of getting one..

LOL “the backup image that hurts my soul”, subscribed!

Still a beautiful car. Thumbs up.

Nice work

I dont understand...you said steering doesnt feel sporty enough but the suspension doesnt feel lux enough? So which one do you want lux or sport? Also e class and 5 series drop even more than that and interior of bmw feel really cheap to me...this segment is all the same in depreciation

You said it very well. I almost thought you were reading off my mind. Great video.

This channel is underrated

Thanks for your honest review of this car and I'm kinda curious what do people see in this car. Its not a car I would pay for that price. All Ive been hearing from people are constant complaints about noises that are just coming from everywhere.

Enjoyed it 😂

Very nice review about pros and cons. I'm still loving Maserati

I have owned many Maserati before: Quattroporte, Ghibli, Cambiocorsa, Gran Turismo....I can tell you people who buy Maserati they don't care about the interior, it is all about buying a lifestyle and classic Italian alternatives...if you have been a loyal customer to Maserati then you should know the interior and powertrain/transmission have been improved dramatically. I don't mind having a Ghibli as long as it's not my primary car, I would love to have a Ghibli as daily and MC20 as a weekend car. The Ghibli won't give you all the perks unless you get the Trofeo version, the base model is more like a entry level Maserati. It depreciates fast but even today if you walk into a showroom, chances are the Ghibli on display is still for sale more than $140K

Very good video, can you make one for BMW with the 3.5d engine plz

He is speaking all facts....you're only paying for the Maserati name with this car. It is definitely cheap in quality 🙄 and if you find one for 30k you better believe you're going to spend the money you saved on maintenance fees. The maintenance on this toy car is obnoxiously expensive 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Honestly the interior designs do color you can select your self and it looks and feels really good with the red color and looks a bit more expensive and you might not like your because it’s a cheaper option on it.

Good presentation broth

great video

Your doing a new car review on a car that is four years old. It's a $30k first generation used car. It would have been more helpful to talk about the car's current maintenance requirements instead of rehashing old talking points on why the Ghibli sucked as an $80+ car.

It's cool but you should try a 2019 Gransport model, nothing like the older MY and way more fun to drive ;)

👍🏾thank you

As soon as you said Chrysler, that said it all. LOL

My friend leased one and returned it the lease ended. It was less expensive too lease than a 3 series BMW or a C class. You can buy a used C300 or Ghibli for about the same price and it’s a faster engine but may not be as reliable

Bro do you live in San Gabriel? That street looks a lot like one that I used to live close by.

Thank you so much for this video. I was looking for a car in my price range and it was this car only a 2014. I do not buy for brand name at all I truly have not much knowledge on that. I need reverse, drive and a transmission and drivetrain with no existing defects. I like compact cars. What I was wanting was a Maserati 2014 Ghibli S Q4 Sedan 4D for 123K it reminds me kinda of cars I used to have (Not same Brand or close too) I want the car to be about this size and drive I have no intention of making money just getting me to school and work. What do you think? Thanks for your time! Any feedback will be appreciated.

Great and honest review! Can you please do a Range Rover evoque review please?

Well made video.

Doug DeMuro! That's a really nice car! Why did you review such an old Base Model?

Good review man! keep it up!

They’ve always been tinny and outfitted with cheap plastics. That’s part of what makes it a Maserati.

Thank you for your opinion about it .

I thought it was a very well done video. Nice job

Very nice video.....Well done.....Well I see the comments are all over the place here as far as positive and negative comments about the Ghibli . I recently purchased a 2015 S Q4 with 15,000 miles. Has a bunch of factory options...20 inch wheels, Skyhook suspension, Alcantara roof and pillars, "premium sound system," Carbon Fiber interior trim, red calipers, red leather interior, Luxury and Premium packages. Original sticker was with the car and totaled out at 95 grand. Bought it Certified Pre Owned with brand new Pirellis and brake pads, 2 year additional warranty for 45 G..... Yes obviously a big depreciation, which benefits me.... The S Q4 has 400 HP from the factory, plenty of power...But I have to admit, the stereo sounds HORRIBLE. My 2013 Dodge Ram 1500 sounds way better..... It is a shame they put a basic head unit in this car, too much highs, not enough mid bass and low end....... And I agree with someone about BMW interiors, plain and boring, not very luxurious in the Beemer......And everyone owns a Beemer, how many people can say they own a Maserati??

Basically the Asian version of Doug lol

It's not the car , is the high maintenance intervals. The brakes and tires every 6 months and the pricey oil change every 10k

Well said...i was even searching to buy one GHIBLI but after I heard you talking about it...i need to think again.

You missed the point. You cannot compare an M5 or 550 to a Ghibli. They do not play in the same court. German efficiency, sturdiness, solidity, etc.. compared to Italian design and beauty. They have nothing in common. And thank you for your "Doug" like reviews (you probably own yourself a 10 year old corolla): now anybody can buy a Maserati in great condition for less than $30k. Please keep up your great videos! Love my ghibli.

Does it have an AUX jack?

Best car I've ever own!

You can find one now with approx 56k miles for about $17-$19 k. That’s a great price for this nice looking car. But maintenance is expensive

*"When You Try To Make A Status Symbol Instead Of A Good Car"* Love What You Said Right There

Love the video! Keep on going, you’ll eventually get 10k Subscribers

You're a good reviewer

Sounds like a tin can when you close the trunk 😆 Great review btw! Wasn't this era owned by FCA? Lots of crossover parts from Chrysler, etc!

Nut: shifting paddles have always been an option on all the Ghiblis but this option is not mandatory at all, once you got used to all the auto shift modes : on such clever ZF 8 HP gearbox and behind a low inertia torque instant response prime mover, frankly you no longer use them. All cars kept in a good condition hold their value pretty well, almost all ones, but this one had obviously the wrong options from the start so this wrekage was abused from the beginning. Since i bought mine two other persons who tested it bought one new as well and globally over the last five years we all three had no meaningfull product issues whatsoever to report on those Ghiblis, on our others cars yes. Just got for someone a New GLC, pricy, unergonomical and it globally stinks in comparaison, so your Demouro type bashing on the interior finish doors gag and others details, that is just insane : smooth quite and confortable, just drive it instead of counting insignifiant points just because they are different and better than those of a german station wagon.

Maserati breathes This guy : im about to end ur whole career

Wow, 468 subscribers. I have more than that! I think this channel is quite good, slow start or saturated market...

Good job kids , a honest review for sure

I think you tried to scroll on a menu that didn't have enough menu items to scroll on. But yes in general this is a FCA parts bin car. I have a Giulia QV and RAM 1500... Between the two I can build a Ghibli.

Can you buy this car? Or are you just confusing the mind? It is the most beautiful vehicle and with the most beautiful sound that exists in the V6

8:45 those are not replacement buttons for the paddles. those are for the stereo volume and station. this particular car wasn't optioned with paddles.
