- Going over the cons & everything wrong with my 2017 Maserati Ghibli. If you're considering buying a Maserati Ghibli whether it be used or new make sure you watch this first!
This is the 2nd & final part to my Pros & Cons series on my Maserati. After 8 months of ownership while I absolutely love the car (regardless of the cons), there's certainly things that I don't like and in this video I'll go over exactly what those are.

Had my 2014 Ghibli for 4 years and my gas mileage has never been that bad. When I drive it in sport mode all week, I will average 12 to 14 mpg. I drive it everyday to work 35 miles a day. Also, my AC work fantastic. Super cold.
Might be mine then! Realistically sport is like 10mpg, but a trip usually averages anywhere from 7.9-9.9mpg. I do drive manual and ride it hard though, so might affect it more?
AC is definitely just an issue on my end apparently. It’s weird, sometimes I don’t have much problem with it but on a really hot day it will be a pain. Definitely need to get it looked at.
Location, humidity, height etc... driving conditions and driving behavior. Even the coasting upto intersections etc... typing as I listen, incline/steep hill etc... angle and anticipate the speed bumps. I have a QP5 and know the roads... don't power into hollow road dips, and accelerate before the straight. That will counter the ground clearance. Check the A/C rear passenger seat button, when its not cold enough. Also the cabin pressure increases, so make sure you have clear cabin vents.
@@peterlattimore6013 All great information, thanks! The incline/steep hill thing is pretty easy to counteract if I'm being careful and know the roads (as you mentioned).
Actually didn't think to check the passenger A/C, will do that for sure. It's currently incredibly cold here so A/C is a non-issue at the moment haha.
I'm going to be bringing it in for a yearly service soon so we'll see if anything comes up.
Thank you Sir for telling the truth about this car. This video is TO NEGATIVE; he's just telling the way he uses the car. Thank you again.
Damn, my jeep jk 09 wrangler with 35 inch tires does better than that
Great review! I am going to take my 2nd hand 2018 Ghibli tomorrow. Great sharing!
Thanks and nice! What’s the spec?
Find your local eurocharged and have it tuned. A lot of these have problems with the overly rich software causing the pour fuel economy. It's what happens when you have a hand built motor but then try to use one-size-fits-all software. You can get better fuel economy and pick up 50 horsepower.
Agree on all things you mentioned. For the A/C I have an issue but its because I live in Vegas where the summers can reach 110+ degrees...but some good quality tinted windows will help.
Interesting, you've also got an AC issue? I only really notice it when it's over 85 degrees. Then it's pretty miserable. Tinted windows would definitely help, but I'd like to try and address the actual issue. Going to have it looked at later in the year.
@@CarsLifeYT ya, after I got the windows tinted medium dark it helped cool down but the extreme summer temps out here can challenge any A/C I imagine.
@@molkimskylop4265 That’s true. I don’t quite know the heat of Vegas personally, but I know it gets much hotter than where I’m at. Very rarely will it get over 100 here, and if it does it’s largely humidity.
The benefit of where I live is that for more than half of the year, heat isn’t much of an issue. Probably why I’ve procrastinated getting this looked at.
@Milkimskylop42 I live in Vegas as well and am entertaining getting a Ghibli. Is it possible to ask you some questions?
Do you use the auto feature on your climate control?
Awesome review. Thanks... Hello from Finland! 😊😎
You’re welcome! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Good review my guy really love this car I gave the same color. But the AC issue I have no issues with mine cold as ice, and I run it auto at 75 no problems.
The AC is a weird one for me. Sometimes I’ve got no problems with it, but most of the time it’s just not working great. Could be my car in particular. Others online were saying similar so I thought it was just how it was. I’ll have that looked at whenever I bring it in for service.
Great video thank you for sharing. I have always wanted one. I wonder if the issue is not the height as much as it is the distance between the lip and the front wheels (attack angle).
Thanks, and no problem! The suspension is definitely a little problematic (not a huge deal) but I do believe the angle you approach a steep driveway does have something to do with it as I’ve come to learn.
Couple of things. A) Doug is not a point of reference. B) the stick shift is like a joystick you have to know how to use it. C) it’s a LOW car. You know like a sports car. D) I have no issue with the a:c so perhaps your is faulty? E) Ya it’s heavy on fuel. It’s a Ferrari engine. Not meant to be frugal? Is it perfect? No. It’s a great car imho. I do agree with the jerk offs wanting to race. It’s the Maserati name plate no doubt. I love your color combo.
Oh, I love the car beyond any of its faults. By far my favorite car I’ve ever owned so far. I totally agree.
Thanks! The color was a factor in the purchase. Definitely stood out to me. The blue looks awesome during the day and even looks really good under moonlight.
In response to your points:
B. The lever is really one of my non-issues, don’t have many problems with it. Just pointing out that it can have that minor inconsistency from time to time.
C. For sure, but the fact that it’s low with no lift systems that are often optioned into sports cars is just a minor annoyance though.
D. Yeah, think it could be my car, I’m going to have that checked on servicing. I named the video “My Ghibli” for this reason. Don’t want to throw all of them under the bus for that, especially newer models.
E. Absolutely love the Ferrari engine. Ferrari engine + the Maserati exhaust note makes for one of the best sounding stock exhausts, in my opinion. That alone is worth the price tag of these cars haha.
I can agree with you somewhat but I can't say I agree completely. I didn't have any issues with my ac it will freeze your ass off in 100 degree heat. I have a 2018 Ghibili S and I will say the start and stop feature is my con as well as the parking sensors going off loudly when I have my blinker on and turning a corner with someone in my blindspot or pulling through a drive up. Lastly, I romped the hell out of my car with it fully packed with 4 passengers and I averaged 19 to 20 mpg. We went on a trip of 216 miles and still had a little more than a quarter tank.
The sensor is a good one, I can relate with you on that one. What mode were you in for 19-20mpg? That’s really good mileage. I’ve only seen those numbers in ICE. Sport/Manual for me is usually an average of 12 at the absolute highest.
@@CarsLifeYT I was in normal driving mode. I didn't even know about the ICE mode until I saw your video. Now I have to try it out and see the results!
@@keithpierson8188 Yup, I get better mileage on Normal as well. Still not as high as ICE, but much better than Sport/Manual. I just don’t like how early the car shifts in automatic.
Thanks for the feedback.
I've had my 2017 Ghibli S Zenga Edition with the 21" Titano wheels since Aug 2020… I've put very low mileage on the car and 90% of those have been in town. As is the case for the Zenga edition, there are no paddle shifters on the steering column (though they can be added), and of course manual shifting can be done from the center console shifter, although I just put it in drive and use sport mode when I feel like it. I get 9-11 mpg with my in town driving (which again is mostly what I do). When I tracked my mileage for a ~2hr freeway drive (at night with no traffic) I got 22-23 mpg. I have a Pedal Commander (throttle controller) I have yet to install… that will increase the fun factor, curious how it's going to impact the mileage. BTW… the Ghibli is NOT my daily driver.
what is your alignment? do you chew through tires? what psi do you run in the tires, recommend on the door, or 10% over. wow, 10 mi/day is your problem; the car never has a real chance to warm up. also sounds like you need a titanium front splitter/lip protector.
Gotta master the tilt the wheel to avoid the scrapes, no time for daydreaming. I haven’t used a front plate in 20 years! Yes it absolutely kills the look. Nice clip, thanks. And yes the idiots that want you to go including Trucks! Annoying right? It’s a really nice family sports car, my opinion.
I’ve certainly gotten better at avoiding scrapes this past year and yes, it’s very annoying haha. I’ve had minivans fly by me.
@@CarsLifeYT Please no mini vans😂
@@chop3625 Yup 😂
I have a quick question for you having opportunity to buy 2014 Ghibli around $8,000 $64,000 miles runs good but it has some issues all the wheels are scratched 90% at the top typical spot needs an oil change which I think I can do myself it's got a dent side panel it's got a bumper that was hit lightly but the paint is chipping needs to be cleaned up and detail and on top of that there's no maintenance record I know someone that's selling it I felt comfortable with that price because I figure I got to put some money into the car what do you think about it I think it's a very good deal even if I put couple thousand dollars into it which I think I will have to to do.
Honest opinion? I don’t typically like any of the 2015 and below models due to lacking certain components tech and otherwise. You should be able to get a 2016-2017 with under 30k miles for under $30,000 and something with a clean record too.
no cold air is a simple fix, recharge your low pressure tube. most of the new refirgerants actually just kind of fail to work over a period of time, go to a PEP boys and they sell the cans of refirgerant for line 10 bucks
i have the same car, same color, never drive it in sport mode, i have no such problems that you mentioned , tested to 160mph, can go to 180mph with no effort try Exxon premium fuel, i never open the hood, oil changed once a year at the dealer, i am enjoying the car every day with over 50 k miles. My model is the S ghibli.
Yeah, a lot of things is my car specifically. Always good to hear from other owners, though. How’d the car handle around 160? I’ve only ever brought it a bit above 130.
@@CarsLifeYT fast and stable!
@@michaelbilin9056 That’s awesome. Mine’s been in the shop for a few days since there’s been a shortage on parts and I need an oil filter. I miss driving it!
@@CarsLifeYTwhat parts are you finding a shortage on? I’m almost to the point of buying them well in advance to avoid the delays When I need to use them.
@@TheRealTyJe256 I honestly forget what it was at the time, but haven’t had that problem since.
I’m thinking about buying a Ghibli and LS swapping it still need to do more research before I start the project
I Was thinking how cool that would be while watching..... If I get one I have bad intentions as far as mods. The delearship might band me 😈
Sport mode always keeps the revs high, and prevents overdrive from engaging. Given the weight, engine displacement, 8 speed automatic, final drive, GDI and aerodynamics ... it should absolutely average around 23mpg when driven purely as a commuter car on the freeway. I don't own one, but I'm comparing it to my 2004 Audi A6 2.7 Bi-Turbo Quattro which averaged 24mpg when driven back and forth to the office (without dipping into the throttle) and it only had a 5spd auto and Port Fuel Injection. I can't imagine the wider tires in the back and timing chain vs belt would cause THAT drastic of an efficiency difference - but I'll tell you if I'm wrong when/if I get a Ghibli myself :) Since the Ghibli likes to wear tires fast - the extra friction from default alignment could be cutting into efficiency to gain extra grip in the corners.
Just wondering the price on maintenance...ie...oil changes, etc...also I heard if one gets a flat ....no "normal" shops will fix it due to the fact that they are afraid to ruin the rim. Is this true?
I did another video that went over the total yearly costs, but oil changes will run about $500-600. If you don’t run into many issues it’s a relatively cheap car to maintain. Mine has been great in the 2 years I’ve had it.
Really the most expensive stuff is insurance & if you need anything done with the brakes (that can run you above $4k).
Haven’t had any issues with the tires, so I can’t speak to that personally, but if you know a place that works on exotics or European cars they should be able to help. I know a local place that I take mine to for service and they work on Maseratis regularly.
@@CarsLifeYT I recently just became a follower so I'll have to caught up on your previous videos. I really love your content which are very informative....thank you so much.
@@GOLF4METOO Thanks for following, and glad to hear you’re enjoying the content! I really enjoy creating these informative ownership videos.
You enter at an angle,one tire at a time..
What model year of your Ghibli????
I’m on the market to buy one
Thx
It's a 2017! You can find those in a pretty good price range as they're getting pretty low on their depreciation.
Have you ever had to do the breaks on it ? If so how much did that cost, also if you had to replace any tires? Or even how much is the yearly cost for maintenance and oil changes ?
In the 11 months I’ve owned it I’ve only ever had to do an oil change which ran about $600.
Yearly cost for me is about $15k but I don’t commute otherwise it’d be closer to $19k.
Get ready to spend some cash on brakes. Had a 2017 Ghibli base. Drove it normal, not like a hooligan. Brakes went out at 12,500 miles and after looking at the forums, that’s apparently normal for the Ghibli. Oh, and you have to replace the rotors when you replace the pads. One dealer wanted to charge me over $2,000 to replace the front pads and rotors! Aside from the brakes, the rear camera that broke and had to be ordered from Italy which took about a month, and the 6 blown fuses, I liked the car. It was fun to drive and sounded great. No longer with Maserati though, went M5.
@@DTF2009 I’d expect to set aside about $5-8k for the car per year in case of anything like that and I’d imagine that’s a pretty good figure.
I don’t commute and drive about 7k miles per year so seems reasonable barring anything crazy. I’ll drive it slightly less once I get a weekend car next year as well.
M5 is a nice choice, how’re you liking it?
@@CarsLifeYT how 15K a year? For what
@@persiianprideeghaeli1007 $15k is a bit much, but $5k is a good figure. If ever you need to have the brakes done that can go as high as $4k.
Do you always drive in manual mode? 9mpg sounds SO BAD! It's it an 8spd trans? You're mostly driving around in 3rd or 4th. Otherwise, thanks for the info. Great looking Gibili.
Thanks! Usually I’ll always drive in manual, but there’s times when I don’t. The car can definitely handle being in 4th up to 50mph, but in automatic it’d throw the car into 7th by the time you reach 40. I like to ride the revs a bit higher, personally. Mileage is more or less a nitpick here.
Having watched this entire video and having owned a 2014 SQ4 I can say that half what is said here is not normal. Gas mileage is not good with the Ghibli but it is not as bad as described. Having watched the driver I can see that he primarily drives in Sport mode and with the paddle shift. So this is the absolute LEAST efficient way to drive. As far as high speed is concerned I have had mine up to 161mph and I did not feel like it was in any way unstable. You don't feel the speed until you start to slow down. Having cornered at 125mph while dodging another car I felt very confident in the car. I definitely agree on the cheap components. Its a Dodge with a Ferrari engine but the handling is good. The brakes squeal and slow speed turning is noisy because of the differential. Otherwise its a fun car. Used mine as a daily driver. I would not have it as the primary car but a 3rd car for sure. Ground clearance is not a huge issue. I have a steep drive way and if you drive slow then there are no scrapes but the CAN happen.
I think mileage for me is also largely because I drive city for only about 15 minutes at a time and lots of stop & go with lights. Even in Normal Automatic it’s roughly the same mileage.
I may not have given the car enough credit here. It does handle high speeds very well for what it is.
Yeah, I’ve also found that going slow is the key to not scraping the front on inclines - seems to work pretty well.
I honestly think they make for a decent daily, I’ve had really no issues with it as far as reliability is concerned or anything like that. Also handles inclement weather pretty well. That’s my opinion, though.
Wow, watching your video's I see that we both have similar purchasing experiences (used & costs). However that's where are similarities end. My Car (a 2018) is Super cold in the summer heat of the DC Area's day and it has no problem maintaining the set AC temp even while sitting in direct sunlight. Unlike you, I only use the Sport mode while sitting in traffic or stopped at lights (The sound is Very Real). This car is a Beast on the highway & I get Very good gas millage traveling state to state distances for such a powerful sport/luxury car. However if I speed from stop light-to stop light, yes, the gas millage will not be as great as a Toyota. So for daily commutes, I do my best NOT to drive it in sport mode. It still demands a presence and has the ability to accelerate pretty damn fast outside of sport mode.
Nice! Sounds like you got a great car there. The AC is definitely on my end after doing more research and many owners here saying theirs was always fine.
Initial research led me to believe it was a common issue but perhaps that was simply search bias. If I look it up, that’s what I’m going to find hah! Not many people posting about their working AC.
Agreed though, on the highway if you’re commuting I’d use Normal if you really want to get the most out of the mileage. I don’t commute though so that’s where that differs for me.
I have no idea what you're doing to get that sort of fuel economy. I drove mine over 600 miles the weekend after I bought it and I had the highway mileage as high as 27 mpg at around 75 mph in normal mode. Around town I'm around 12-15 unless I'm just hammering it out of every stoplight. Also, you don't have the race suspension so it's not going to handle as well at racing speeds.
The majority of my miles are all city. Stop & go with about 7 different lights on my ~8 minute drive each day. Highway is much better, that’s where I can get 20-24mpg no problem.
What are the maintenance costs and reliability of the car?
Mine’s been quite reliable for the 3 years I’ve owned it. Others may vary. Maintenance is usually in the $600-1k range per year. Nothing unmanageable.
Hello you still have the car ? How reliable has it been ?
Yes, still do! Very reliable. Only big issue I’ve had which was recent has been the front-left brake line rupturing. Pretty simple to fix and not that expensive (~$500). Overall, love the car.
@@CarsLifeYT That's pretty impressive I was shopping on fb marketplace came across one for like 15k with all service history I couldn't let that pass
What’s the difference between ghibli s and nerissimo and gransport ? Which is the best ?
The S Q4 is the sport version, ~404hp AWD and the interior/options aren’t really anything special. The Nerissimo is a limited edition S Q4, only 450 were made. The Gransport is a more luxurious S Q4, carbon fiber finishes on the interior, backseat seat warmers, heated wheel, etc.
@@CarsLifeYT is it possible to find the black nerissimo edition but with red interior ?
@@hocineted7594 Hmm, don’t think so. The Nerissimo is specifically all black by design. You’d have to get it custom.
@@CarsLifeYT i really like the nerissimo especially the wheels but I want a red interior, so what do you recommend for me ? nerissimo or gransport with red interior I can’t decide.
@@hocineted7594 I’d just get a black Gransport. Can always change the wheels on it.
I have 2018 gibli I hate the location of the oil filter
I had a '14 SQ4, and I averaged about 13MPG (always in Sport mode). I now have a '19 S, and I average about the same - 13-14 MPG. That is very low MPG you are seeing...
Yeah, I'm around that range now give or take. Definitely doesn't help that most of my driving is city and there's lots of stop and go. Highway isn't that bad for mileage, that's where I see much better numbers.
Just stumbled upon your other videos. This car got alot of bad rep since Doug his video gained traction. Granted there are some lemons that are nothing but problems. Also, the parts from Chrysler. (Which funny enough I view as a positive! What this switch is the same as my sisters van with 150k miles and still works flawlessly- AWESOME! ) If you get a solid one this is one of the best cars. It will not top any performance segment. But, ask any owner, they’ll tell you what this car is all about.
100% Agreed! Didn't buy the car for performance. As a matter of fact, the exhaust note alone is worth every penny haha. Even with minor flaws, this has been my favorite car so far.
What about tire changes?
Just had that done. Full set of P-Zero All Seasons put on. Think it was about $1800. I’d have to double check the bill, but it’s in that ballpark.
I got over 29mpg average on a roadtrip in a 2020 ghibli. I'm not sure but you seem to be having real issues.
Even whooping on it I could routinely get 25mpg mixed. from a rental.
that people are likely hitting with 87 routinely because it's not theirs.
granted the tires were 40psi cold and 45 PSI up to temp out on the desert highways.
not a fluke either. it was giving me 600 mile projected fuel stops. Maybe I had a touring specific ghibli, and a Non-S.
but the ultra quiet ride, the very real economy mode, the looks, the leather everywhere, Like I'm still pining and window shopping for a 17 and up Ghibli.
high speed stability issues, you need to get it aligned at a shop, perhaps take it to a performance shop and get just a bit extra camber put on it? Or maybe you're actually too nervous. I can't say I blame you. I flogged a rental one real good, but being in the market for one now the whole perception of how I'd drive it is different. :)
Yeah, the mileage seems to be more so that I only drive about 8 minutes at a time for the gym in the morning and that’s hitting about 8 different lights, so a combination of stop & go, low gears, and not having the engine run for very long. The highway isn’t too bad for me, I get around low 20s mpg there.
For stability, my biggest thing is in the cornering. I might be a little hesitant about it in this vehicle, but to me it doesn’t feel quite as clean as my McLaren. Not that I’d expect it to be, though - two totally different classes of car. This is a heavier vehicle and primarily a luxury sedan.
Overall, I love the car though. Can’t blame you for window shopping!
I have a Maserati Ghibli 2018 and man the one u absolutely right is people always try to raise me 😢but I did once w a Tesla cuz they put there windows down and tried me so hard I end up getting the car to 170 😂sport mode 😂🤣the were left behind in 6 sec I got it there 😂🤣
Always want to race lol. I honestly just ignore it now.
Is it good deal to buy new maserati ghibli or used ? And what’s the difference between ghibli s and nerissimo and gransport ? Which one is the best ?
I don't get al tis new admission BS. We can't make V8s anymore but you can slap a bunch of turbos on a V6 it gets worse gas milage than the V8. What exactly are we saving here?? A possible slight reduction in carbon admissions? I would like to know if they built the engines stronger to handle the turbo charging. Anytime Ive ever had a turbo charged engine it did not last as long.
Yeah, I’m not a fan of the switch to EVs and all the emissions regulations either. I get the reasoning, but those aren’t the kinds of cars I enjoy.
I’ll gladly take the turbocharging over strictly electric, though. At least you get some noise then.
@@CarsLifeYT The people trying to push the emissions standards don’t realize how bad mining is for the environment. All that EV tech especially the batteries is beyond terrible for the environment. I’m not buying any electric anything! I’m actually partial to late 90s vehicles now. If you bought a diesel truck in 1990 and took care of it properly which isn’t hard. It would literally out live you!! Now the way they have to make them because of emissions they won’t last 300,000 miles. They want everything to be both disposable and green at the same time.
Wahh! wahh!
I have had none of your problems!! Do you have a lemon?
Hmm, I don’t think so. A lot of these are kind of nitpicks. Reliability overall has been fantastic. No serious issues in almost 2 years of ownership.
Lol.
The milege is bad but is that in top gear?
In the city where most of my driving is you’re usually not getting out of 4th 😬 Normally it’s between 1st and 3rd gear. About 7 lights on my ~10-12 minute drive. Highway miles aren’t bad.
A/c just have a tech sup up your system. Its worth it
Yeah, I’m getting this one looked at in the new year. Hasn’t been a huge issue, but don’t need the AC at the moment anyhow.
I bought a GT. No cheap Chrysler buttons in the interior
7 MPG?!? Wow. I get it isn't going to be super fuel efficient but I'd expect at least 15-17 mpg.
City driving with lots of lights 😅
Is what it is, nowadays it’s more 12mpg. If I get some highway driving in it’s pretty decent at around 23 or so.
Mine tuned at over 500 hp gets 21 mpg. I drive like a retarded teenager and still get 19 mpg😊😊
Watching the vid...your gas mileage night be so bad because your manual gear changes are terrible. At one point you were driving at 30 with 300rpm. No surprise then that the gas mileage is bad. Take it out of manual change.
It’s pretty bad in city with automatic as well. In automatic I get maybe 10-12 city where I drive. Highway is much better and that’s where I’ll see up to 20-23mpg.
I do like to hear the car though so I’ll tend to keep the revs high, in automatic it shifts every 1.5-2k RPM. You’ll be in 5th gear going 20. Not my kind of driving experience 🤷♂️
Mine average 17mpg with sport mode, u better check your car.
Cannot believe you complaining about front lip scraping, get a Corolla dude.
My ghibli also blowing ice, looks like you got a lemon
Yup, AC is an issue with mine alone. When I did some research I saw quite a few people talking about theirs being bad, but a lot of owners here seem to say otherwise.
Not necessarily complaining about the scraping, just nitpicking for a con. I wouldn’t say that’s a pro so it ends up on this list.
17mpg is pretty good. Manual or Automatic?
@@CarsLifeYT you’re awesome but bro the maserati is a awesome car bro
@@Baphometangel Absolutely, don’t get me wrong at all. I love the car. Over a year and a half of ownership now and it’s been incredibly reliable.
Engine? Horsepower?
It’s an S Q4 so it’s powered by a 3.0L twin-turbo V6 assembled by Ferrari that makes 404 horsepower and 406 lb-feet of torque.
My friend had one it was in for repair at dealership every week. He said it nothing but Italy expensive junk. If it wasn’t against the law he would set it a fire. He hates it.
Sounds like he had a lemon, that’s unfortunate. Mine’s been very reliable the past 3 years.
Complaining about the MPG whilst the display is furiously complaining he needs to shift up.
The shift notification goes on once you hit 1-1.5k RPM typically and when the car is in auto it short-shifts which is pretty annoying. You’ll be in 7th gear going 30mph.
I definitely do drive the car hard though and I don’t doubt that affects it more. That being said, in sport they don’t have great mileage in general. ICE is where you get the best mileage.
Wow. My AC is great. And here we have many 90 days and I drive an hour. No.prob
The key to fixing this for me was to have the recirculation on. I also think it needed a recharge.
Your cons, compared to the pros, are really nothing. I could live with them without blinking an eye. In fact I'm going to take a drive in Ghibli very soon. Thanks
It’s really just nitpicking honestly, I’ve loved this car for the 3 years I’ve had it!
No big deal, just can’t drive fast, drive in the summer, enjoy a cheap plastic interior or shift - sounds pretty minor and well worth getting 8 miles a gallon. Can’t imagine looking at a Benz or BMW, unless you were sane.
😂😂
Wait until you see the repair or service bills 😤😤😤😤 .
After a year the most I’ve spent was $600 on an oil change give or take. I don’t drive much as I don’t commute so servicing is a bit less frequent. Service is coming up soon, though.
Lol at all the people complaining about gas mileage while in sport mode.
Also Lol at those saying the AC is great!
1. Buy a diesel (well, if you don't live in the US)
I'm gonna take front plate of my Cadillac
Do it! Most cars look significantly better without it. Never did that with my Cadillac, but would if I got another.
I was looking at one before I bought my Jaguar XF im glad I bought the Jaguar instead even though it's basically the same car Jaguar got a supercharger
Nice. The supercharged one has more hp, if I’m not mistaken. You probably also have a nicer interior with the Jag. The biggest difference probably in Maserati’s favor would be the exhaust note, but that’s largely preference.
I don’t know what the hell he talking about my 2019 S has a 21 gallon tank and I get around 22hwy sometimes 24
I get that highway as well. Most of my driving is city, though. There it’s anywhere from 9-14. Usually on the lower end.
I stopped watching 1/2 way through - you must have something wrong with your car. I get OK gas mileage - 14-18 in Sport and 25-30 in ICE. However I drive like I have a raw egg between me and the gas pedal. I have never scraped the tip of my bumper - the bottom, yes :(. Unwanted attention? What other reason do you want a Maserati ??? I don't have the AC issues you mention either, if it is 75 I have the windows down .....
He sound like little girl 👧🤣
Thanks for the comment.
@@CarsLifeYT ignore those idiots bro lol, there is always morons who are childish
Funny, I average 24. Half small town city. Half highway
Do you drive automatic? How much of it is stop & go?
@@CarsLifeYT yes auto. 50% stop and go. Chicago to Columbus OH I get 26mph
@@scottygtheretirementguy3134 Nice! I only really drive to the gym in the mornings and I end up at about 8 lights on the short 8 minute drive.
Don’t drive in automatic often and someone also mentioned it’s really not enough uptime on the engine. All of that probably contributes.
An average speed of 23 MPH...for about 10 miles a day...in sport mode.... yeaaaaaah that's really a shame a big sport sedan eat so much ! 🤦🤦🤦🤦
Lol it’s definitely a nitpick since there’s honestly not much to complain about. 2 years later, I still love this car.
Too many gripes for a really expensive car. The name has provenance but the product isn't in synch with it.
Absolutely agreed, but let me tell you that when you’re behind the wheel and open the engine up you honestly forget all about the negatives. The sound just puts the biggest smile on my face even after 11 months of daily driving it. Not to mention it handles like a dream.
@@CarsLifeYT It definitely looks awesome and I'm sure it handles great 👍.
Your wrong on so many levels. Why are you driving around in manual & I can see the prompt on the dash asking for upshift. No wonder you don't get good milage. And really do you use the gear shifter like that...kinda 'throw' it into park. Probably a good idea to study 'you' more than the car...oh & get your air con looked at. It's obviously faulty.
Have you driven one of these in automatic before? It’ll shift about every 1.5k RPM, which is also where it tells you to shift in the display. There’s a 6.5k redline. Not really as much of an enjoyable drive if you like to listen to the car. Besides, most of the driving is in city and even in automatic the mpg is around 10-14. On mostly highway, it’s closer to 20-22 even in manual.
As for the AC, yes - that‘s faulty.
Buying this type of car is like buying a lion that's about to die: you know that It can't hunt like the younger ones but it's still a lion. Instead I don't give a s**t about appearances, I prefer a Toyota Yaris GR that you can squeeze all of its power to your heart's content
wow that dash looks super cheap and plasticky like something belongs in ford or chevy not italian exotic car.
Yeah, the dash leaves a bit to be desired. Lots of plastic there and the thin aluminum material used to line some of the things is very cheap and I’ve had it peel when cleaned. The leather and stitch work is nice, but that’s about it for the interior.
The exterior of the car, the engine, handling, and the sound is really where these cars shine.
POS Italian cars🙄
