Maserati... a very nice sounding name. This is a legendary Italian exotic luxury car manufacturer with milestone products. Does the Ghibli carry that Maserati legend? Unfortunately, the legend is no more. The Ghibli is Maserati’s attempt to make a social status symbol that would cost you $80,000, but it is not a car worthy of this price tag. Although the Maserati symbol shines brilliantly on the front grill, the Ghibli has many problems to be addressed: because It is a Maserati doesn’t mean it is good.
While I was editing this video, the unexpected happened and I lost all the test drive footage. I managed to recover only a few clips, and the video you are seeing now was unfortunately not the way it was meant to be. For my viewers, you have my sincere apologies.

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 CZcamsr.
Also guys, check out his newer videos... talk about upgraded! In-depth reviews and footage way improved from this video 👍
Erm BECAUSE he basically copied Dougs video..... highlights the amount of logos, highlights the “cheap” door cards, highlights the engine sound, but also compared BMW is slower or lower powered and the steering is bad, go watch dougs video and realise he parrots pretty much everything
@@yeahno.... haha I get that with this video, but did you watch any of his other videos? he does his own thing and obviously does his research and prep for those videos
Lol
Beacuse its poor review.
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.
Literally the reason I picked up an Alfa Guilia last year. The BMW, Audi, Merc cars, while nice, have honeslty just become like any other car on the road. Especially when you consider that the highest trim models of brands like Hyundai, Mazda, etc. are only like 7-15 thousands dollars less than entry level german cars (which honestly offer the same level of trim even at the base level).
German cars are now common as muck.You tell people you have a Maserati,thats a different story....
They are in fact as common. Where i’m from, it’s actually more rare to see a nissan vs a benz, audi or bmw. That says a lot
A ghibli not a flex lol most people that know anything about cars know they’re not worth shit
Indeed shit
CZcams has given birth to an Asian Doug Demuro! Love it keep it up!
Thank you for the nice comment!
Right! Nicely done video as well.
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 😂
So do they have a lot of problems! Looking at a 2018
You can get over for 25k. That's a hell of a drop from 80k in just 4 yrs.
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.
Doug the type of guy
Oh wait wrong video...
Keep up the reviews man! You're very personable and likeable. Keep being yourself
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!
Thank you for such a nice comment! My newer videos are all much better made than this one. Be sure to check them out if you are interested.
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.
VERY nice review..Im impressed with the fluidity and plesantly well informed flow and delivery. And VERY professional. THANK YOU.🙏
Thank you for watching and commenting!
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.
Good idea! Thanks for commenting! Right now it is difficult to film a new video because ppl are mostly staying home, but I will keep this in mind!
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.
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.
Lexus +1
Reliability with the zero driving dynamics equals a boring driving experience. No thx
What We Drive go take a look at the LS500 or LX570, LC500 or any new models from Lexus , and tell me its same as Toyota, only with different badge..... the difference day and night.. even new es350 is miles far from Camry
MASERATI is one the worse Italian brand a money can buy
@@wanleaf probably never even drove one before. Yet buy one ? Yeah right. They are great cars!!! Been driving mine for 2 years ! Great car for sure
Maserat's are like yachts. Happiest days are 1st day purchased, and the day it's finally sold !
FICKFEHLER you said ur all
As an owner. I enjoy every second driving it
This is gold. I like this delivery more than DeMuro. Keep it up.
Appreciate it!
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.
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 Asian Doug demuro
Dairon Marion Doug D. Is annoying AF. He rents every single car reviewed rather than actually owning any of them. Are you really going to take advice from a guy that drives each car for a single day and then post a video bitching about the pros and cons of each?
@@HawtSauwce You aren't very bright are you. No car reviewers own the cars they review. These guys review hundreds of cars. What kind of financial sense would it make to buy all of those cars just to review them. They are given those cars for a certain amount of time to do a review and then on to the next one. Thats it.
@@CrossfireGamingNetwork Exactly! Well said. This guy above you is a full fledge idiot. lol
Kobra Kai
What type of car reviewer owns the car they review? That’s just absolute bullshit.
@@HawtSauwce
What car reviewer owns all the cars they review? Get the fuck out of here. It’s not financially viable for someone to own every car they review. -_-
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)
Nice video man keep it up I subscribed !
Love your videos man
Good job on the video my friend! You are a good auto journalist.
Thank you! Please watch my newer videos if you are interested, they are much better made.
Nice job on the video !
Nice job with the review! Keep it up !🙏
Great video and review. Was thinking about a 2018 cpo might go with a bmw 540i MPK homegrown here!!!
I love your honesty!👏
Your the best do not give up!
I liked the review I found one the same year same price and had suspicions. Thanks for the review
Great video buddy!
Good review. Very in depth
the front passenger door is a bad color match on a repaint. i been working on theses cars alot lately not super impressive
Thank you very informative!!!!
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.
Thank you.
Great review brother!!!!!

$80k no. But at $30k… it’s a deal!! 👌🏼
So im lookin at a camouflaged 2014 maserati but it got 130k miles but only $20k. I wanna buy it specifically to put on turo… is that not smart? Lol i aint seein good reviews on this car😭
@@trevey16 what did you do? Any updates?
@@fnaftronline5025 never got any responses besides a homie tellin me Masi engines aint foreign engines but made by Honda or somethin. I forgot, it was gone within a couple of days. Couldve been a good investment. If only I knew about cars
Damn... Thank you for the response!
Great video! 👍
Thank you!
amazing video, very thorough.
Thank you!
that's great, I'm thinking of getting one..
you just earned yourself a sub!
great video thank you
Very nice review about pros and cons. I'm still loving Maserati
Jesus that license plate placement is an eyesore.
You said it very well. I almost thought you were reading off my mind. Great video.
Very good video, can you make one for BMW with the 3.5d engine plz
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 job sub!!!!
You just got a subscriber man! Kepe it man!!
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
Hi Comella, thank you for the comment. What I meant was that the feedback from the steering wheel didn't have the sporty feel that I was expecting. I personally would prefer to have a heavier and tighter feel. Since the steering is less sporty, I thought the Ghibli would bring more lux but then suspension has the stiffness of a sports sedan, which was a bit confusing to me at the time this video was shot. The car was nimble thanks to the suspension, but the steering didn't satisfy me. Overall, I think the Ghibli, at least this one, did not have a clear placement of what kind of car it wanted to be. And lastly, I agree that cars in this segment generally face similar depreciation.
This is why I prefer the 2018 models and up. Despite all the hate it gets, I have an odd liking for this car.
Enzdude even my 2017 model has 0 problems so far after 2 and half years. I love my car. The hate for the Chrysler window switch and shift knob is ridiculous. They act like the whole car uses Chrysler parts.
I love your review. I’m a fan.
Excellent video bro
Thank you!
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.
Hahah i dig your style. Subscribed
Hahaha thank you I appreciate it!
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
Still a beautiful car. Thumbs up.
Good presentation broth
Great and honest review! Can you please do a Range Rover evoque review please?
Doug DeMuro!
That's a really nice car!
Why did you review such an old Base Model?
Great vid bro.
Thank you!
Nice work
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.
“Instead” I said, I was expecting more than just the buttons, ex the buttons and the paddles right after.
Thank you for your opinion about it .
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.
ALFJAMXA James That’s exactly what I thought this video was going to be about 😂😂😂
Hey guess what? The new 80k car is not far off from this one. At all.
For sure
Enjoyed it 😂
As soon as you said Chrysler, that said it all. LOL
FCA, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles eh?
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.
It's cool but you should try a 2019 Gransport model, nothing like the older MY and way more fun to drive ;)
I would love to! I heard the 2019 model is really different.
You can't afford a Maserati stop lying. I'm sure you drive a Oldsmobile from the 1970's
@@mannyp5528
Can’t afford a Maserati? Lol these things are dime a dozen cars. I’m sure that even a college student with a good part time salary can afford one. XD
Does it have an AUX jack?
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.
Thank you for the input. I am sure the owner of this one would have been happier if he got the SQ4.
James Raaymakers mine 2
Jairo Guerra moron he never said that he bought new
He said ‘it cost 80k new’
I own a sq4 white pearl with a red interior and carbon fiber trim
I paid 50k with 17k miles and 3 years extended warranty
You probably own an iPhone and have a lot of apple products "(
Jairo Guerra and you probably drive a Corolla
great video
Thank you
Well said...i was even searching to buy one GHIBLI but after I heard you talking about it...i need to think again.
There are other good Maserati out there, but please stay away from the Ghibli.
Basically the Asian version of Doug lol
This channel is underrated
Bro do you live in San Gabriel? That street looks a lot like one that I used to live close by.
Just made a day trip to San Gabriel for the video :)
Good review man! keep it up!
You're a good reviewer
Thank you!
👍🏾thank you
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
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.
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!
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 🤦♀️🤦♀️
Ferrari Maintenance Costs, Chrysler Engine and Parts, McLaren Depreciation, Nissan Styling, for the price of AMG. The worst of all worlds.
Best car I've ever own!
Harold Hernandez if you take care of it it won’t fail
@@locitojones Yessir!
Harold Hernandez I was going to get one yesterday it was for sale for 33k for a 2016 but the sales associate wouldn’t work with me and he only would go down 1k so I’m just going to stick with my 2016 sti :/
@@locitojones STI! Nice wheels!
Harold Hernandez Thanks !!!
You are wrong wrong. It is a very nice car and eye catching. It depreciates because of expensive maintenance and repair. A lot more expensive than the other luxury cars. That is the reason.
Our 2021 compass limited has a nearly identical gauge cluster, among other parts lol
Is this in Alhambra?
Well made video.
Thank you for commenting!
Check out the video at 0.39 but I saw it at other times too. The front passenger door has been damaged at some time and had a bad paint job. Doesn't match the rest of the car.
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??
You did a great choise. The Ghibli has been improved in interior quality and features over the years. The Germans do offer more tech features as options (the new Ghibli now offers all the driving assistance features lacking in the previous one), but that's it. BTW, Maserati has never been known for its forefront technology, but for its style, prestige, elegance, uniqueness and exhaust sound.
I thought it was a very well done video. Nice job
Wow, 468 subscribers. I have more than that!
I think this channel is quite good, slow start or saturated market...
They’ve always been tinny and outfitted with cheap plastics. That’s part of what makes it a Maserati.
Love the video! Keep on going, you’ll eventually get 10k Subscribers
Thank you for the positive comment!
dude the plastic buttons behind the wheel are for volume and tune....not for shifting. For the base model, the padel shifters only come with the sport pkg and it wouldn't surprise me at all seeing this car has none of the pkgs when the owner added this fake decal lol. It would be more gorgeous to add a "turbo" decal on someone's 911 i think.
I was aware of the functionality of the buttons, they were worth pointing out because it was a disappointment not to have those pedals in this car (only available in the sports pkg, really Maserati?). And oh I have also seen "GT3" decals on base 911s lol.
*"When You Try To Make A Status Symbol Instead Of A Good Car"*
Love What You Said Right There
if it depreciates in value, isn't that a good thing? we can still afford it another 5 years guys XD
I mean reliability..... there's a reason it goes down in price
you can't afford the repair bills
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
most beautiful sound in a v6? you obviously never heard of a ford gt 🤣
