Had a 2015 Maserati Ghibli SQ4 for 4 years. Never had a problem. Enjoyed it.

Drive a Ghibli for five years now. It has been flawless. Wish I could have said that of the Audi’s (camshaft issues, timing belt tensioners , gear box etc…)I drove, would have saved me a lot of money….

First of all if you’re doing well financially you’d NEVER finance this car you’d lease it. Second, expensive cars come with expensive parts. Hence, why maintenance and repairs are so expensive. Third make sure the car has been properly maintained throughout its life. If you take care of your car then it’ll take care of you. It’s not a “Maserati isn’t reliable” issue, it’s a maintain your car issue.

“I hate this car and it’s garbage, but I still haven’t sold it because I actually do like it”

People either love them or hate them. I personally love mine and have had no issues whatsoever.

Genuine filters can be bought for $35... don't know where you are going to get yours... sounds like you're going to the dealer. Aftermarket filters can be gotten for under $20.

I have a 2017 Maserati Ghibli…..I had mine for five years and have 59,061 miles on it. I don’t drive it much, and I must agree with about about this car. They aren’t worth buying for real. You’re paying a lot because they’re made by the same people that makes Ferrari. Maserati, do not hold any value

There is only one I hate about Maserati in general is the fact that I don't own one.

Good looking guy. Thx for the details I was looking at an AWD one. Now I’m changed brands all together

The price of the oil filters makes more sense when you consider that they are comprised of virgin silk from the illusive "Yikes" spider, and hand-woven by fairies on "Sucker" island.

I have had a 2017 and now I have a 2019 and have had no problems with either car.

The nearest Maserati dealer is a 7 hour drive for me. Otherwise I would legit consider them, they sound wonderful and have wonderful interiors.

thank you my friend for being so honest!!

Unlike a lot of people that are going to flood the comments section to repeat what Doug Demuro said years ago, i actually own one of these, and I enjoy it. My only advice is to get a warranty in the event something does fail. Otherwise, drive it and enjoy it. The Ghibli gets a bad rap, but honestly, they are good cars when taken care of and maintained properly. Alot of people buy these cars used because they're cheap and they want that trident badge but then they can't afford to maintain them. Lack of maintenance leads to the car becoming a headache and constantly breaking. Then they blame it on the car and maserati. They are not cheap to run but nowhere near as bad as the media likes to portray them. I have a 15 SQ4 with over 63k miles, and it's running strong. I do have the Maserati extended warranty in my back pocket in the event that something does wrong. Good luck with yours.

People talk about reliability but he didn’t mention any of that. People who buy these take care of them so what’s better? This one with regular maintenance or an Audi, Mercedes with little maintenance?

It is your dream car. Now you are living the dream and realize that it is a nightmare.

Hello everyone! I am looking into a 2018 ghibli s (rear wheel drive). It only has 21k kms, car looks like new. Prices is less than half of the new one. But i keep seen mixed reviews! Can anyone share another experience?

Thank you for this. Saved me a lot of money bro.

I have one but my engine light keeps coming on but there’s no issues with the car…..What does the inside of the gas cover look like? Is there suppose to be another cap there?

They look exactly like 2020 fusion switches too, and pretty similar to 2016 Toyota tundra. Poking being most cad wondow switches are similar especially 2014-2020

I have a 2014 Ghibli which I bought in 2017, best car I have ever had and driven, and I have had a lot. Yes servicing is expensive but aside from servicing all I've had done in 7 years is a new battery, one rear light cluster and tyres when required. If you buy an expensive car have as much as you've paid for it in the bank as spare cash, don't spend everything you have buying a car!

😂😂 one of the best channels on youtube

So do you think someone, who has at least 30000€, a job and a car buying budget of 23000€ can afford the car?

Also i wouldnt drive it everyday or severe weather..its a weekend car

I bought my 2017 in a very weak moment April 2024 and regretted the hell out of it. A month later I decided to sell it so I figured what the F let's find out what this thing can do. Got her up to 130 with no problem and she was hungry for more (hit sixth gear at 120). Smooth as silk but I came off the gas for fear of an HP possibly up ahead. Still have the car.

I have been watching Ghibli videos all day because I have been trying to get an idea of the perception before I sell mine. I have a 2014 SQ4 which I have had since 2016 and have a little under 90k miles on the clock, and had barely over 20k at the time I bought it. Maybe I got lucky, really really lucky, because I have had had NONE of the issues I see nearly every video mentioning and complaining about. I’m not even gonna sell mine I don’t think. I feel like I got a unicorn. I saw someone say they can’t get their Bluetooth to connect to their phone, mine connects every time, multiple devices at once. The only two things I agree with, one of which is not a complaint, and that is the buttons are cheap but I don’t really mind, at the time I got it I had never watched any videos on it so I didn’t have any expectations either way. Second, which is a complaint, is it doesn’t immediately shoot forward when I mash the gas. It feels like it builds for a second and then takes off, unless I’m up to speed already like on the freeway or something. I can’t speak on the cost of parts because I haven’t had any breakdowns yet. I know it’s coming, but so far so good. Oil changes are expensive compared to other luxury cars like Bimmers and Benzes, but I would suggest not even considering buying an exotic car, no matter how inexpensive it is, if the cost of maintenance scares you. You don’t need to have it done at a certified dealer tho, it’s not that complicated. You can spend maybe 150 on the oil and filter and then have a garage that is familiar with high end cars do the labor for around 300. Instead of 500 to 600 at the dealership. And you don’t have to get oil changes every few thousand miles. I have let mine go like 8 or 9 thousand miles between oil changes.

You should have realized that the parts price is the same or not more than ferrari parts..usually its a ferrari maserati dealer and labor rates are over 200 per hr...why did you think this was cheap to own? Go buy a hyundai if you want cheap...i have a levante with 37k on it and i figure ive put 6000 or 7000 into it to drive that far..i consider that normal for a vehicle of this calibre.

This guy said the the awd system is trash 😂, if you dont like to drive fast you shouldve just get an audi, maserati awd system is one of the best awd on the market for sport driving.

My Friend, You Are Awesome! Like You, I have Always loved the “Brand” with its rich and storied 3:59 History…From what You are saying and what I have read online, FIAT (I believe the Parent Company) is Drifting into its “Acronym”-“Fix It Again Tony.” Thank You for Helping Us “Car Lovers” Avoid so much “Heartach!” 🙏🙏🙏

That sucks bro. You have no idea how much I would enjoy standing in my driveway ripping on my supercar. Still I get it. And it does really suck.

How much for insurance?

I love my Maserati, but the car always have a lot of suspension issues. Wheel alignments often, and it rides badly very bumpy. But over all no under the hood issues

As a maserati ghibli owner, and I agree with things that you have said but with the newer generation most issues have been addressed, but the winter on the summer tire thing is hilarious and thats true.

Thanks a bucket man😁 ill get a lexus LS thanks again

The filters are $16 on Amazon bro

i have maserati q4 2018.......with snow is superrrrrrrr!!! i think you don´t have idea what a car is, please drive more Mercedes and BMW🤣

Did you adjust the bass and treble levels on the stereo?

Man I bought one too 2014 I a lot problem Italian car suck I been fixing my steering noisy. And the AC actuator blend door I been change change change I want the people Sue the factory man

The oil filter is like $15 on Amazon 😂

So how do you fix the wheel rumble problem?

lol my guy was definitely in his dream feelings 😂

I got Maserati Ghibli ! Bad car now I have to replace high pressure fuel pump 😢

does the newer model have the driving system issue?

Bro if you have all season tires on an all wheel drive car that's obviously not what you want to slide around turns; of course the friction is going to catch. Or if you drive like a grandma n then try to hit a corner right without having tires used to hitting those angles. This car is amazing. Like dogs its the owner that needs training.

SAIS TU ROULER AU MOINS ?

Disclaimer: this guy could not afford this car, now he complains.

Here’s the deal. Maserati are great cars. Problem is they are the entry level super car. Its budget buy. So yes parts and oil changes cost more. New buyers don’t get this so they never keep up with the vehicle. Hence 2nd hand owners end up with a car not taken care of. Get the warranty your fine. Worst car I owned was an Audi A6.

Doesn’t understand the Ackerman effect. It isn’t a problem and it’s not anything to do with the AWD system.

I have a ghibli from 2018, no problem, the v6 is the same engine of the Jeep grand cheroke. I think you have a problem!

5 year owner here. Knock on wood, it’s been much better than I expected. Only minor issues. Actually, so far more reliable than a Porsche Cayman and a couple of Mercedes SUVs.

La più bella auto lì parcheggiata indovina qual è?

Dodge Arati : ❤😂 I like the style of the Maserati and the color, white or silver 🔥 Repair cost scare me

Stereo sound, expensive oil filter and Dodge buttons..? That's all you have to say to recomend NOT to buy a Maserati...? Great mate...

I had 2 Ghiblis, no problems. WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT????

Look at the Ford poor man' Aston Martin Ford Fusion that killed Aston Martin. I guess Aston Martin got lazy with Ford. Also, I worked on an 1980s Rolls Royce and it had a GM factory radio, GM factory, speakers, wiring, so I was like wow this is a very expensi piece of crap.

if they put that body and interior on a toyota/ volvo platform, so the thing was reliable, they would have a winner.....but its not...

For me, the only REAL Ghibli was the first, produced in the late 60's/early 70's. One of the most beautiful cars ever produced! Today sadly, even the most luxurious cars have difficulty standing out...😢

yes... anyone can hate this car... but..... dat exhaust note tho... *drool*

3:22 looks like my 2019 Charger. Those buttons are straight outta dodge. 😬😬

Should have bought an AMG .

I don't have that problem they sound system sucks tho

🐐

This car is cheap and expensive at the same time. I almost made the mistake of buying it.

I can tell you that these comments are quite superficial, I thought there was a real issue with them and its not.

but you bought it

Solution is very easy : swap the engine and transmission with Lexus LS430 , it's possible and cheap 😀

It's Italian. It's part of Italian quality

I'm really surprised this could be someone's dream car. It always seemed to me Maserati is what a poor man buys to look rich because they can be gotten for so cheap.

My mallu bro, got ripped off. Not worth all that money.

Such a funny video I can rrally tell how much this car has frustrated you but at the same time you keep it lol like a bad ex girlfriend that's a psycho but still hot.

Dude go get Golf ! 😏

I would never buy a 4WD car. And why are you hanging out with people who own Dodges?

Technically it’s Chrysler crap they put in these, not Dodge. Personally, I would never own a Maserati…they are simply too unreliable and too expensive to maintain. That’s why the majority of these cars are leased. All but one model of Maserati’s lose between 50-67% of their value within the first 5 years. That is why you can pick one of these up so cheap. I’ve seen too many people wanting to look cool, rather then drive a reliable car with low maintenance costs. I’ll stick with my Lexus, but good luck to you and your wallet.

But I thought it was general knowledge that used maseratis are junk.

Well this is just a bad review lol. Sounds pretty mainstreamed for click bait. Wouldn’t watch any of your other vids 👎🏼

These guy is a clown !! Not credible !!

This is your dream car? Wtf mine is a Countach brah 😑

The mechanics at ferrari dealership says massaerati were the worst cars ever

It’s not true dude

Ahhh yes, the cliche facepalm thumbnail.

Even the 2023 designs are bs 1. That piece on top of clock is ugly. 2. Sunroof still small same old 2014 style or older 3. Same old door handles that stick out too long on exterior. 4. Same old fat GMC keys 5. Cup holders still can’t hold regular size cups. 6. MPG same 7. Horsepower same 8. Dashboard design same 9. Exhaust sound still weak 10. Audio system still weak 11. Shifting gear knob still too large 12. Mirrors still don’t fold 13. Technology Innovation still weak 14. Overall no major redesign. If mazerati wants more sales and respect then they should earn it by building a better quality brand. Redesign it.

Get educated about high-performance cars. You obviously do not KNOW well about Maserati's...

2024 !!! 1. That thick piece on top of clock is ugly. 2. Same old tiny sunroof like the old 2014 style or older 3. Same old door handles that stick out too far on exterior. 4. Same old fat GMC type keys 5. Cup holders still can’t hold regular size cups. 6. MPG same 7. Horsepower same 8. Dashboard design same 9. Exhaust sound still weak 10. Audio system still weak 11. Shifting gear knob still too large 12. Mirrors still don’t fold electronically 13. Technology Innovation overall still weak 14. Overall no major redesign etc ed. If mazerati wants more sales and respect from consumers then they should earn it by building a better quality brand. Redesign it !

Merceds more luxury and reliable

Stop complaining Abt the dodge parts..it's so stereotype!

The best engines from the world, only nonsense spoken by everyone here…

bro ur wasting money!

Lol bad owner.

Bullshit

That simple : most overrated car ever !

My bmw 3 series drives than this lol

that is why I only buy a Toyota

Dumbest intro

Basically it's a garbage vehicle😂😂😂😂 issue solved

87% of Maserati buyers lease. So for you poor souls who buy the remaining 13% on the used car market, all I can say is: Buy a Jaguar.

Third world problems.

While they are pretty machines, they are endless money pits and I for one would never own one :(

Looks like he needs an old 90s Merc which is what he looks like he belongs in

Bro let me tell you something about rich people, they go out and buy these luxury cars and waste tons of money for piece of crap cars. Even though they’re expensive they’re built poorly. I would rather buy quality cars from quality brands that wont give you stupid problem like everything you mentioned on here.
