Just think of the Ghibli as a Kardashian. It can't act but it looks good in pictures. I respect the review but it also makes me sad because I love the styling of the Ghibli.
You have done a fine job of putting the Ghibli into perspective.As I stated in my original comment, I love the looks of the Ghibli and thats why I sought out this video. There is a place for a bland reliable perfection but there is also a place for a car that stirs your emotions and makes you feel alive as the Ghibli apparently does.
also if you want to read a review of a car reviewer who says THE EXACT OPPOSITE of EVERYTHING in KBB's review, see this: www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/road-tests/reviews/a6890/7-things-we-learned-abusig-2014-maserati-ghibli-s-q4/
@Anthony F : well written. I have found myself defending the Ghibli all over CZcams, I can't believe how many haters and trolls this car has brought out. I drive a 2012 Jaguar XF Portfolio (5.0) and its a great overall car, wonderful to drive, but SOMETHING is missing....and I feel like when I am in the market for a Ghibli here soon I'll find that missing piece of personality. (A lot of it probably has to do with the incredible exhaust note)
WELL SAID MAN!!! Exclusiveness that is what you want from your car and woman.
I don't even have the money to buy Ghibli but after I sat in one it make even a poor ass guy like me feel as if like I have millions and ready to buy two Ghibli in cash,now that's a car I WANT.
Only Italians can make flawed cars so desirable you want to buy and make it out with your heart and soul.
Yeah, I have to admit, value-wise, the ghibli is not very competitive. But say this one last word with me out loud:
Maserati.
Exactly
Junk
@@Michael-tm6vs yea Ferrari Enginering and Chase and its junk 😆
@@MostlyPeacfulRiots Italian engineering is no bueno
I have the same color combination SQ4. Let me tell you this. I had M3, Z4M, and M6 before.
I have never been this excited to wake up and drive a car. The engine note, the way its shortcomings become so sexy is heavenly.
I just push it sport and manual buttons and just take off. I dont have a clue where radio is and signal is hard to reach and NAV..I dont care. All I see is what I feel. And the way she waits you in the garage and that sound of cold start...AMAZING!
Same here. I dont even care about the specs. I just kno I have a twin turbo motor designed by fucking Ferrari under my hood and the thing is just an absolute beast. I could not be happier.
Emrah Ercan same iam a gt owner
It is kind of weird to compared it to to the GTR. They say it shares Chrysler parts, but the GTR shares Nissan parts and only has two doors. Sometimes KBB complains just for the sake of complaining.
I completely agree. I have an ‘07 SQ4 and I just can’t get enough of the driving experience. I’ve owned BMW and Mercedes, which are nice, but nothing makes me feel like the Ghibli. It’s stunningly gorgeous too!
Had a Ghibli loaner for 3 weeks. Enjoyed the drive and the sounds and the interior was striking.
I'm thinking about getting one used with under 10k or 15k miles, couple years old. I found some eye-popping deals on them lol. I'd honestly rather drive this around than a brand-new 2022 minivan or Infinity or something. Looks and sounds really cool, has some power and is pretty well made no matter how you look at it. It may not be stunning compared to other cutting-edge, foreign luxury cars but if you get a used one for cheap I think it could be fun as hell to own. 😄
I've driven my friends Ghibli for about a week and I can say that it is most certainly an entertaining car to drive, but more for beginners. It feels safe, even when you're going MUCH faster than you should. It sounds like an angel screaming at a football game. It gets decent fuel economy. As far as price and quality of materials, however, the reviewer was correct. You cannot justify the price tag with the quality
Your reviews and presentation just keep getting better and better. Look at your videos from just 2 years ago, completely different. Good job.
I just saw one of these parked outside a Lawyer's office. I understand looks are subjective but I honestly thought it looked damn good. It had a beautiful profile no matter where you looked at it from, and it has a nice stance.
I guess at the end of the day, you must judge for yourself and take one for a spin.

Henry Perez agreed that the exterior is mostly beautiful (the rear needs a rework though). But aside from the exterior looks, that interior just doesn't scream exotic luxury to match the exterior. Perhaps if someone has never seen a Mercedes/Audi/BMW interior, that interior would impress. But it looks pretty dated when compared to the German competition. And i'm sorry, but for the asking price, they should never let any shared components from lesser expensive cars make it into the "visual" touches of final product. That's just sad and insulting to the brand, let alone the buyer imho.
Brian Westfield No doubt about it, the inside of this looks ok, though pales when compared to its more refined German rivals.
I like it though, it's different. Everywhere you look there is either a three point star or that darned (though lovely, i must confess) propeller.
-HP
I agree. One of the most beautiful cars I’ve ever seen. Looks like art
Maserati design, history,brand and even the engine sound are timeless . Very difficult to find a good deal in the pre-owned market since a Maserati car maintains very well its value a lot of fans. The BMW,Mercedes sedans are good cars but after few years they loose value and compared to a Maserati have totally difference customers. Maserati are for people with passion for cars, BMW-5 and Mercedes class-E are sedan you see often used for hotel airport pick-up or by retired people with a passion for golf.
I love it when people leverage the fact that Mercedes Benzes are used as Taxis to somehow belittle the brand the fact is that is a real world example of a car being chosen due to its reliability. A company investing in a fleet of cars doesn't want a car that will be riddled with problems to fix. When I see a Mercedes Taxi or service vehicle, that gives me an idea of how educated the company is as it costs more to put a fleet of MB vehicles on the road, but the true value becomes apparent in the long run.
Referencing the Maserati history in the context of this version of the Ghibli is pure irony. This car is wrong starting with its name being put on a four door sedan. It sounds like young all people should have know that as a start. Then all the other shared parts and just OK features and performance that are nothing worthy of the trident should really show that this is not the car Maserati can truly build. This is a Marketing project car to minimize investment to maximize profit. The problem is they don't know how to do that in a convincing car yet.
I can imagine not everyone from Maserati was happy with this result. But when you get bought out, things aren't in your full control.
So, I know that this comment is made much later than the original video. Apparently, this reviewer is not a Maserati or Ghibli owner. I have owned many high end auto brands including Porsche, Mercedes, Audi, BMW, etc. I purchase the majority of my vehicles as low mileage off lease deals and normally drive them an additional three years until I move on. I have always admired the Maserati brand and decided to purchase a used Ghibli. Of course, I read all of the negative reviews prior to my purchase but it seemed that those reviews were all written by people who never actually owned one. I really enjoyed my Dodge Challenger and had zero issues with the car and it was quite easy to operate meaning the interior parts, switches, gadgets etc. So I have no problem with the interior similarities on the Ghibli. I purchased a 2016 SQ4 model with one owner and only 21k miles on it six months ago. I have had zero issues, bought a comprehensive warranty just in case and I have no idea what this guy is talking about. The seating is extremely comfortable equal or better than the Volvo S90 that I just traded and the car rides beautifully. And fast...yes sir. Hard to keep it under 50 mph. The constant hum is the beautiful noise that comes from the Ferrari engine and the exhaust note...spectacular! This is not a vehicle for the average driver. It is a heavy, nimble sport sedan. Not a Toyota Camry. I get waves, stopped for comments and constant "Nice car" shouts all of the time. Don't believe the one and done reviews. Read the owner reviews of which most people rave about their Maserati. I have a smile every time is start my Ghibli and can't wait to get on the road. Yes, the brand new price may be steep, but wait a few years and be bold. The car brings me nothing but enjoyment. And she is gorgeous!
This car is the epitome of the saying "Buying the badge".
Probably the best comment on here. Just on eBay it is ridiculous the amounts of people who are trying to get rid of low mileage 1-2 yr old ghiblis for close to half msrp. That really says it all.
A beautiful car is like a woman: no matter how many people may say they dont like her, you cant stop loving her and can't wait to see her next morning. Even if she cant cook the best steak of your life.
The David no just no
Eric Ruiz you're right, this not the case. This lady CAN cook the best steak, too.
heard one of these driving in the New York City streets and was immediately interested but thank goodness for this review otherwise i might have a regretful purchase on my hands
when will you review the masarati Levante? i'm really thinking of getting one but if it's anything like the Ghibli i'll pass.
Great to see an actual consise REVIEW instead of 30 minutes of reading technical specs like some other youtubers!
Great review. Very honest. And you didn't even mention the FCA reliability issues.
Does this car feel fast when you nail the pedal
The first time I watch a premium car review and don't feel bad about not being able to afford it lol! Thanks Micah xD
Mine drives and handle and brakes just fine. And it’s a 6piston break kit what do you expect my guy... And turbos have to build boost genius
This is why I like KBB and think Micah is cool. He doesn't pull punches and so many reviewers, especially American ones, do.
Agreed. It takes guts to tell it like it is. It would be a disservice to buyers to just regurgitate a press release like most "reviewers" do. Hate on him all you want. But he deserves props for saying what is his experience with the actual car compared to actual cars he's driven.
Did you guys review this in San Diego
Ferrari-built engine. That's enough.
Skyler91 from a chrysler block. not exactly a pure ferrari engine.
The machine to create the block and the aluminum was selected and design by the Ferrari engineers
That block is legit
Brian Westfield who cares. It’s a Ferrari engine. No Chrysler sound like that. So what’s your point.
Brian Westfield wrong
Thats not enough... a common failure of this car is going into limp mode not letting you rev past 2k rpm i think
The window switches are just sad.. I like how they added the chrome tips to them to try to make them look more classy! lol 1:24
I wish this car had more bespoke things to it and a more exotic looking exterior. A friend of mine that doesn't know a lot about cars saw this car in a parking lot and mistook it for a big Nissan. Not cool at all!
Actually the Maserati Ghibli sits in the 4 door coupe category, and competes against Mercedes-Benz CLS class, BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe, Audi A7, and Porsche Panamera, not the E class, 5 series, A6 or CTS. An easy proof is those frameless doors.
its like hes calling Gibbie from iCarly
So what about mechanical issues has any here have any ?
Whatever happened to Leigh Anne Sessions?
What was that on the rear bumper at 5:13 - crack or just dirt?
May be the parking sensors beep all the time but doesn't work all the time... it is Italian car at the end ...and don't think the American parts helps for improving the reliability :)
What is the song in the video?
You are most entertaining reviewer I've seen on CZcams. Keep it up
Thanks for your feedback, Neil!
My cousin leased one 3 months ago and it has had to go back to the dealer for repairs twice already. He says he wishes he had gone with an S6.
My Benz CLS 550 lease is ending soon so I'm looking at this car. My main worry about these non-mainstream cars like Audi, BMW, MBenz, etc is their technology integration is archaic and not updated often. I have admittedly not drive one yet - I'm setting up a test drive this weekend, and I'll be sure to play around with it. The best part about this car is the price, I priced it out online and it came to just under $10k less than my CLS 550 was - with slightly better options. Love the look and uniqueness!
love the fact that the reviewer kept it so real
Was this filmed down in long Beach by harbor Chevrolet?
Another great review from Micah!
Such a straight forward, no looking up to anything, honest review. Awesome.
I see the negative reviews on this vehicle. Could anyone please tell me what the problems are with this car??
From the back it looks like a Kia. That's not to say it looks bad because Kia's recent designs have actually been pretty nice. It's just that it looks like a car less than half of its price.
Basically your buying a $70k badge
There’s a constant hum? No shit, it’s a sports car first and luxury car second. That twin turbo is bad ass. The current price is about 35k which is a bargain. The BMW 5 is boring and E class is for the elderly. Dude is missing the point at every level.
That's why you buy it used!
@@HawtSauwce absolutely right! E Class is definitely boring and the 5 series is mechanical nightmare!
This was a good video and I appreciate how he wasn't afraid to say what he thinks and he talked about other cars compared to this one in the same class and what you would get for them compared to this car, which, other reviewers don't do enough of. However, he barely mentioned anything about performance and the car has a version over 400hp and he barely mentions anything about performance. Otherwise, a very good video.
Great review. My wife and I recently had use of one for a few days and I am amazed that I had some of the save observations that Mr. Muzio did. Positive: Styling and Information system, engine sound under acceleration. Negative: Engine drone at highway speed and rattles. My car was a loaner so it was pretty well beat but still the rattles were disturbing. One more positive, those people in my area who have pulled the trigger on buying one have been happy so far, but it is an acquired taste.
Is that a scratch on 5:14?
This guys having way to much fun making this video
Your expressions are best Mr Micah. No one can imitate those.
What about used for 30K???
My parents got their Maserati Ghibli S Q4 three weeks ago and it is awesome!
I'm so confused bc the post says 2016 maserati but yet again it was posted in 2014 ? i didn't know they made a 2016 model just for this guy to test drive it in 2014 ?
This reviewer's favorite flavor is latex!"so you know"
How is the reliability of Maserati nowadays?
Unfortunately here in the States, people have been desensitized to the driving experience and want to drive in a huge bubble where you don't hear or feel anything. Not surprised he didn't like the car as everything he's complaining about is convenience-based. Of course the suspension is going to be tight, it's a sporty sedan. I'd take that Ferrari-tuned engine any day over a junker like Chevy or Cadillac.
Well, said!
apostolostv well said! I agree with you, I drive a Mercedes and I'm seriously considering the CT6. Also, this reviewer misses the point, the Ghibli is about the driving experience, the Ferrari/Maserati engineering and for the 2017 models, the Zegna-design interiors.
Theres a difference between a sporty suspension and bad structural rigidity, the ghibli is a trash car for the price.
The simple takeaway from owning a Maserati of any version is......it will not be the car for everyone. Just like a BMW etc will not press the buttons of others similarly! Ok, so they may perform similar on paper, but to own a Maserati is to appreciate where it comes from! It is Italian, just like its big brothers at Ferrari where they build the Maserati engine at Modena. I own the SQ4 - Europe version 2016 with 440 BHP and I can tell any sceptics out there that this vehicle is truly awesome. I don't get the rattle from the rear nor does my engine hum. I have the 21" Titano wheels and they feel sturdy over mild potholes, but the stark reality is that IF we strip away every single foible with every single vehicle that is made, there would be but a handful that we would all own and where would the joy of driving and being different from the rest then come from? The Maserati brand and the Ghibli in particular is a vehicle for those who want to live a little, not sit behind the wheel of a vehicle that does all the thinking for them. Where is the fun in that??
Get an Infiniti Q50 instead. Looks like a Ghibli, drives better, costs cheaper, w/ pretty much the same power.
the exterior mirrors are laso from the 300C/charger. This car in Europe too is well welcomed by the press. People like the front end, and the sound of the petrol engines, that's it. Fiat is doing a great job with the american brands but is killing it's own...
Wow! I was seriously considering this car then KBB woke me up!
Long Beach, CA. No wonder those streets looked too familiar. It's close to where I live.
Wow I was thinking of getting one and seen them but never drove. Makes me still want to drive to see how it feels personally. It it sounds like it's not worth the price. I would rather wait for a 300 hellcat soon to be out.
This is what i call HONEST review. Subscribed BAM!
thanks for the very honest review!!
I think you didn't like this car from the get go. You can always tell when a reviewer has preconceived opinions. You should not have done the review, it has little value.
This guy is fucking clueless when it comes to cars. KBB is a shitty source of automotive journalism anyways
KBB is a marketing company. See its ads all the time. It would praise all the mainstream selling cars.
This guy seems to forget, this is Maserati's FIRST entry in this segment, pretty damn good first effort I'd say! All it needs is polishing, development and tweaking in places to really become competitive against the best of Germany, Maserati have proven this with it's first ever SUV The Levante which has had rave excellent reviews. One thing is for sure the basics (most important) engine, chassis are first rate and beyond any criticism. Expect it's successor due in a few years to be near perfect and awesome!
0:56 I love the way he says Ghibli "geeblee"
Interesting review, it makes me a bit hesitant about the new Giulia, which is like this car's little cousin with an Alfa badge. It is on my hit its to replace my C250. Also, it looks like the rear parking sensors are a must if the damage above the exhaust pipe is to go by on this test model.
I actually test drove the vehicle and must be in honest in saying that I loved it. This is a wonderful vehicle and found the seats to be super comfortable. The power comes on great. I am now concerned because I now know going forward that I can no longer take car reviews by what they say. Sad but true.
I've also test driven it. And wasn't blown away by it. The seats are ok but not the greatest. Power delivery is as the reviewer noted. For the asking price you have to be very good. This car is decent but if it was my cash if get something else. If this was closer to a E350 in price now it becomes interesting although I think the safety systems of the Germans are a couple of generations better.
funny thing is when I am in Audi i find a lot of things share with vw and Skoda.I dont recal that anyone sad anything about that when is reviewing audi.
Maserati has this whole history of exclusive cars with none being sold for less than $100k. This is why it's a big deal. This are not parts from a $20-25k car going into a 40k one like a base A4. These are parts from $15k cars going into an "exclusive" 100k car. Big difference.
+lecorsaire Thew good thing is that buying a Ghibli is optional, noone has to buy it if they dont like it. The morons can preach all they like about how a Skoda is almost as good as Audi but again, buying a Skoda is optional, and if anyone REALLY think they are getting a rebranded Audi they are in for some serious disappointment.
+ivanlazarevic78 more like many components of Audi are shared with VW. Compared to Japanese or American counterparts VW feels very upmarket. It's the other way around with the Maserati however.
If your spending that much on a car their shouldn't be any parts you can find in your base model Chrysler..It should be completely different.
In every way, the CTS-Vsport trumps this car. Better value, comfort, power, ride quality.... I think the only thing you can argue for the Ghibli is badge and exhaust note and even those parts are subjective
Why do i think of a Mitsubishi galant when i look at the rear of this car? The back of this car looks completely uninspired the front looks cool tho. Ive seen a couple of these cars on the road. They do stand out
I own a Ghibli S4 which I bought last July to replace my Audi A8. Agree with the review in general, but wish he could pronounce the name properly. Some of the parts are on the cheap side (although I've also noticed the Alfa 4c and even some Ferrari's look a bit cheap inside). And it rides fairly stiffly and could use a lot more sound deadening. But I still love it. Particularly when going 70-80 MPH on the interstate and you floor it: it just leaps forward and you'll be seemingly a mile down the road in a few seconds. Amazing. I really enjoyed making my boss turn white when I gave him a test drive. Also, it attracts a crowd everywhere I park it, including recently on Independence Avenue in front of the Smithsonian Institution, where I found a bunch of tourists taking selfies in front of it. (The car is platinum with tan leather and the tan dash caps and door armrests.) Overall, it's way more fun than the A8 was, and I was paying thousands of dollars maintenance for the Audi even though it had only 25,000 miles when I gave it to my sister. When I took delivery in Rochester, NY, and drove it back to VA, I got 28.6 MPG even though averaging 75 MPH. As someone who had ordered the original 2005 Maserati Quattroporte when it came out, but cancelled in favor of the Audi A8 at $50,000 less cost, I'm really pleased with the Ghibli as a somewhat more practical and sporty car than the QP.
from all of the research ive done on this car including the press launch it sounds to me like he is pronouncing it right: Gee-blee . And great story about the tourists and selfies lol...i drive a 2012 XF portfolio and i was on a date and on the freeway next to me this car was rolling down their windows and taking vids and pics of my car ...perfect timing!
It's refreshing to see a non biased review. So much ass kissing when reviewing luxury items.
Nice job well done
This is the only CZcams video where they talk bad and complain about the ghibli. All the other videos say how good it performs and how good it drives.
Are you kidding? The Ghibli is widely known to be overpriced and extremely cheap for its price... For instance, the 550i xDrive outperforms it in every aspect except brand prestige, all with a lower price
I literally haven’t seen a review that doesn’t shit talk the Ghibli. The panel gaps alone are a joke and a sign of the ridiculously poor build quality of every part of the vehicle other than the power train (and even that has been rumored to be falling apart left and right).
Bet this car will always be remembered as the Masarati sedan that came out when the brand 1st had input from Chrysler.
This is the most unbiased review I've seen of the car. Fantastic job Micah! For the price I'm astounded they raided the Chrysler parts bin. Brings the whole car down a little more
This car should be 30-35 K .
Summary: not worth of its price.
+abcdLeeXY The engine is made by Ferrari. Thats why it is more expensive than a BMW or a Mercedes.
+Eric Palchanis yeah and an interior of a cherokee lol
I'd bet any amount of money you've never been inside one. The interior is nothing like a cherokee
I agree.
Thats in infotainment system not the craftsmanship of the entire interior, idiot... smh
Well, I'm on the market for a new car and after watching this scratch this off the list. Thanks, for the review.
Wow clocked on the kbb review expecting a boring mundane review. This was a great review and the presenter was fantastic. The car....not so much. At least you can say you drive a maserati, even if it's a bad car with Chrysler parts....
The Ghibli is an exceptional car. A fairly balanced combination of -- looks, exotic appeal, decent inside space and boot. I test drove a 2017 Ghibli diesel and have ordered one. Very quiet and refined drive. Goes fast if you want !! And the looks inside and out are very nice. Everyone has an opinion. For me I loved it. And is something different. ss64
About that thing at 2 56 or around there is an optional sky.... Forma better suspensions. It is something Mike a must to overcome to that problem
Yes! I have found the ever so rare KBB negative review!
5:13 The reviewers ate that poor bumper !! 😂
Can you do the Genesis G80? That car looks nice
dude just shitted on the Ghibli the entire video verbally lol
This was one of the most upbeat negative reviews I've seen of anything.
It's Italian. Quirky quality issues are included at no extra cost.
more reliable than German cars. All Porsche GT3 became fire balls from the powertrain.
and they wont kill you like American cars and Japanese cars...like GM and Toyota!
***** just stop. such a dumb uneducated opinion
The only ignorant comments are yours
All I said is factual and real.
***** so its a fact that american and japanese cars will kill me?
It's insane looking at the interior and pointing out the cheaper components when comparing it to an American built car. Europeans have always hated the interiors cars from the USA.
+Edward Taylor Cannot name one American car from the last 20 years that I liked the interior of. jeeps look they were made from Ferero Rocher boxes inside. The GM products based on Vectras and Omegas somehow had much worse interiors with terrible fit and finish to mouldings.
Man. People are really defensive about a car that they'll never buy, or likely even drive. Like he's being unfair to the expensive, luxury sedan.
I think it's well worth the price. Certainly a car I'm considering if I find one I like at the dealership 30 mins away from my office.
Taylor Z thank you for your input. You made a very good point.
I'm really disappointed but not at all surprised; I really like the way this car looks and it would of been a good alternative to all the others cars mentioned, but....
Damn. I wanted this car to be good. Good vid, though! BTW, the quip about going nuts and getting a GT-R was amusing.
u got what u paid for...
It is much better than this crappy review suggests. Find other reviews.
I'd still buy it though with the optional features
The car has turbo lag?Ferrari eliminated the turbo lag with this engine in th 488GTB
I remember being so stoked about the Ghibli's launch. Unfortunately, a lot of that enthusiasm waned after seeing the car in person and I was left with a very 'meh' feeling after driving it. It's nowhere near as responsive as I thought it would be. I didn't really have any issues with the interior; personally, I think that expecting bespoke switch gear in a car that barely breaks $100K is ludicrous. You have to have reasonable expectations.
My biggest issues with the Ghibli is its price... and I can't justify the cost for what you get. The Ghibli isn't removed enough from the Quattroporte in terms of performance and it certainly isn't as luxurious. I can't deny that it's an attractive car, but again, the QP looks better to me.
So the big question is, "why not just work a little harder and get the Quattroporte instead?" Or, find a well kept 2-3 year old QP and spend LESS than a full-spec Ghibli?.
This was an excellent review! I actually enjoyed test driving the Ghibli. I'm doubt I'll buy one though. Maybe I'll assume someone's lease an wheel it around for a year or 2. It's still a Maserati for cryin out loud ;)
Even consumer reports video on the ghibli had less complaints than this one lol
This guy hates the ghibli so much he took it through an automatic car wash lol
What a complete disappointment..
Tat reviewer, reviewed too many Camrys, that Car is a Maserati, an emotional car for men, not for Camry drivers ;P
Michael R my camry gets more beautiful red interior than this
and there the fascination points end for the camry :P
Li Samuel Camry is ugly as fuck and boring and this interior is leaps better. Are you kidding.
how do u know?? seeing smiling jerk???
I find all these comments quite confusing. How many people actually own this car or have driven it for at least 2 hrs? If you have never spent enough time with this guy, how can you be so certain this car sucks with its money? I haven't got a chance to try it yet, so I will leave the comment open for now.
My mom has leather seats in her Chrysler 200s fully loaded and the seats are so hard. It's almost disrespectful.
Lol. So many butthurt Maserati cry babies. The car is a dud. Simple as.
I agree. I don't understand why people are so defensive of Maserati. You would think every person commenting on this video owns the top trim model. No one should be surprised at the outcome of the quality and finish of this car seeing as FIAT/CHRYSLER is involved.
yea, this car is practically a Chrysler 300 with less features. It doesn't have heat/cooling cup holders for example.
hey dude, I wouldn't go as far as the Ghibli is "a dud" or "utter trash". of course your taste is different to mine so you may disagree but the car isn't all bad, it looks and sounds good for a Maserati but the real problem is that it falls short in terms of luxury and performance in a lot of ways compared to it's rivals and as a result people just felt misleaded and the only reason you buy it, it's because it a Maserati
+Reginald Jamerson yeah I know but the car isn't all terrible, it does some things right. the real problem is that Maserati are not paying close attention to the competitive car market
Smart1529 that's not good enough. They need to fix it before they don't exist. I was considering buying one but I can't justify playing more for a less luxurious car
ima get it
I got to drive one this weekend and it doesn't feel like a 70k car. Is it a "bad" car ? No, it's nice, but Maserati badge aside, it simply doesn't feel like a car you'd pay that much for.
The interior has that "using slightly above cheap parts to give the illusion of being high end" feel to it. That was something that really stuck out to me. The seat felt awful and cheap.
It's price tag puts it in the market against mid-upper range luxury cars, but I'd say overall it feels like a car designed to compete against the entry level nice cars. 3-Series, A4 Audi...etc
It's a nice car, just not 70k nice. If it was say 40-45k, then I'd say "great car for the money", Maserati is clearly just using that badge to charge double for a Chysler. aka...just like that TC they made back in the day.
