- In this episode I address my families daily driver, the top dog in the Maserati line up well if you have kids and need to transport more than two people. Our Maserati Quattroporte GTS now officially has 30,000 miles. This 190MPH sedan manages to make you poop your pants and fall asleep all in the same road trip. The point of this series is show you what happens when you put more than 3 miles on a luxury/exotic car cause lets be honest people don't drive these cars so no one knows what to expect when you do.
Enjoy!

I own a Maserati, and to be honest I have a few gripes to all those that keep complaining about the same blah, blah, blah things. It’s always the same sh!+ “the buttons are from a Chrysler”, “the infotainment is the UConnect with a Maserati logo”. Are you people serious? Do you know that they use VW parts in a Bugatti??? What’s wrong with people. Let’s get some fresh new things to pick apart. Also, who buys a Maserati and complains about gas!!!!!!!!
Sergio Rodrigues yep i agree with you so much, but maybe the people that complain about them, maybe can’t afford an used one, who know and cares. And yes maybe you shouldn’t get an car like this to complain, I have an cla45. 2015, and there’s things that I can complain about. But there simple things.. enjoy your car. It’s going to be my
Next one, if I can get away from my Benz.. lol.
Liv Stone Very classy sir. I can tell you that I own one and absolutely love it. By the way the infotainment rocks “UConnect, works excellent with no lag, and my power windows also work perfect thanks to the Chrysler parts. Lol and the best part is you get 424hp to smoke all those “Me Too” cars!! Get one you will love it.
Thank you for staying this and I agree with you. I am not paying for buttons. Paying for Ferrari/Maserati performance and feel. I’ve had three Ghibli’s, one Gran Turismo, and looking for a Quattroporte GTS after watching these CZcams reviews. A detuned 488 sounds good for my soul.
As a Maserati driver I support this message. Honoustly: I drive a Ghibli for quit some years now. It has done 110k miles by now; zero issue’s. I wish I could have said that about the Audi’s (engine, auto-gearbox) and BMW’s (transferbox Xdrive)……
@@dg91xj I have a 2015 Quattroporte GTS that I'd be willing to sell. I love the car, and I'm not actively selling it but it sounds like you really wat one lol.
I just traded my 2015 BMW 750Li for a 2019 Maserati Quattroporte. Before that, I leased 3 Mercedes Benz E classes. I really really enjoyed the 7 series, but the Quattroporte is my favorite of all time. I could see myself putting 60,000 to 70,000 miles and then trading it in for another Quattroporte. When I test drove it, the pick-up and the engine's sound sold me on the car quick. This is a car you can enjoy driving with the radio off.
Maserati cars are the most beautiful in the market
No debate on how wrong you are
I own a 2015 QP GTS for several years now and I love it. Yes, pricey to maintain and insure but if you can turn wrenches, it's not that bad. I've done all the service myself and I'm no mechanic, just love working on cars. Love the exhaust note and the acceleration.
Gabriel Garcia how many miles do you have on it now, thinking about getting one 2017 qs4 grand louse.. nit press about the maintenance, I have ace mechanics.. just worried about how many mike can they go, I have an Benz cla. 45, with no issues, 150,345 miles?
Doing your own services is a must, you can spend thousands getting these things serviced by the dealer/ mechanics.
Have you had any issues from the transfer case and jerking during acceleration?
@@fordstone2725 I have about 65k and no real issues. Thinking about selling this fall. Ready for something new like a NSX or Lucid
GTS has that powerful V8, love it!
Honestly, with the past history with Italian cars and electrical parts, the Chrysler switch gear may be a plus. Still a nice car, regardless of who made the switches.
Based on your immense experience? I have had many German, Italian, Japanese cars. Never had any real issues with the Italian ones but the MB? Absolute crap.
My 2011 c63 has been amazing for the last 6 years as my daily. Never thought about these...ill test one this week lets see
I love the color, I got the same 2013 GTS in black. It is not a cheap car to drive, but it is a lot of fun.
Great Video I Have The Previous Generation 2011 Quattroporte Sport GTS and im in love with it .
The older ones have much better interior, true Italian car.
Foreign Creations i Agree .
Your car is way nicer, 4.7 N/A that sounds way better, acceleration is almost the same, way better interior, exterior is a piece of art compared to this one that looks like a fiat 🤣
I have a limited production 2005 Maserati Cambiocorsa coupe, never had any engine issues except the Bosch fuel pump cracked and short F1 clutch life. There are common issues too when Maserati was under Ferrari control, for example sticky interior.
I had a 2006 Quattroporte for 5 years, drove it 20,000+ km’s and besides general maintenance it was fantastic! Highly recommend it! Only sold to upgrade to a granturismo! Loved the car though!
"Crap your pants and fall asleep in the same trip." Gold...
I love the Maserati Quattroporte!
Normal wear and tear is not a flaw and that door handle on the door is not a storage place it’s a door handle to close the door
great video. Like your style!!!! Keep supporting.
I've always wanted a Quattroporte but the reliability and price scares me😂
cyber rednec don’t be scared just get an used one. 2016 and better..
Scrim Time very true
Hey get a used or salvaged one that has just scratches so many people abandon these 2016 or newer and try to save up for a engine swap thats reliable you will get a sic car thats also reliable
Go for it! I bought a 2015 base model a while ago with only 23000km on it. I’ve used it for a couple of months now on my daily commute and she is absolutely FANTASTIC! Hungry, aggressive, powerful engine, the best interior thinkable and second hand they are very affordable! An absolutely beautiful limousine if you ask me!
@@fordstone2725 Why a 16, What about a 2011? I understand its not all wheel drive. I thought anything with the newer trans was a decent one to buy.
Wasn’t that gear selector problem fixed in the recall?
Such a beautiful car IMO.
Great video with good information. You are right about the manufacturers - they make the less expensive models look like the more expensive ones ... Mercedes being one of the majors culprits of this trend. They take the status away. I have an 2015 SL which I love and nothing else looks like it but it definitely has its negative points. The Maserati is beautiful but I worry about the repairs - there just are not that many dealerships to have it repaired if traveling. The same problem with Jaguars - beautiful automobiles but out on the road if something goes wrong - you can be stuck.
Thanks for watching!
Just picked up mine today! White over red interior - GranSport '17. Just curiosity... Any major issue like transmission or engine repair? I have about 1 year warranty left but i may extended for a peace of mind.
I wish someone responded to this
Nothing like having a 20-something lecture you about a rental car he'll never own.
Great review
I own a QP, One thing you must acknowledge that you are paying $120K for a Ferrari designed engine, Amazing exhaust, Crazy transmission performance and EXCLUSIVITY. Nobody pays $120K for seats, door panels and a dash with a wheel. Think about those old school PORCHE, shitty as carpet interior and still sold for $100K+. Just my 2 cent.. Oh, and as for the seat going back when you turn off the engine, I CARE enough about my passengers to TURN OFF this feature. You simply have it on, but it is optional. As for your alarm, if you leave a window or sunroof open you have to turn off the sensor to avoid it going off. (With your key fob) Read your manual if you haven't already.
I'm looking at purchasing a 2014 GTS. I'm looking for owners who already own at least a 2014 or similar up to a 2016 since they're all the same between those years with only minor changes until 2017. I just need some pointers on repair costs, enjoyability, and just generally what you know about the car.
@@ironman98 here are my thoughts brother. I own a 2016 QP and I love that damn car. LOL. anyways, Reliability? I honestly believe that people that have issues with theses cars are people that don't drive them enough. these engines are meant to be driven and NOT sitting in the driveway. hint why mileage is always so low. Use the damn thing and keep that engine running and serviced. The maintenance cost? its only crazy if you take it to the Ferrari/Maserati service dealers, BUT if they only sale or service Maserati's the rates are much cheaper. But the truth is you can service this car yourself bro. I'm not a mechanic in any way shape of form (i'm a suit guy) but Oil change, Brakes, FILTERS, Sparkplugs can all be done from home, with a few tools enough common sense to follow CZcams videos. It is really no different than your average BMW / Chevy or Honda. REALLY, no bullshit. Its just about buying the right parts. An oil change out here in the bay area is $650, but you can get it done yourself for $150, The Full service is $2,400 which you can get done for $500 on a nice day off. Etc etc.. The car drives like a dream, it fast, its classy, luxurious and sporty and my favorite... Very exclusive. Find one with the lower mileage possible and service it yourself REGARDLESS of what they tell you. Get new oil, Change the plugs, change basic filters and MOST IMPORTANT clean those injectors. Lots of "Gunk" gets stuck in there due to high performance engine that cause issues If you don't keep them clean. (Only issue I had) Engine started running very rough and then learned of this and never had an issue since then. I was told the car was simply not driven enough the weeks prior. dealer charges you $500 for this service (Yes, its that common) but you can get it done with $20 worth of cleaners and a couple of hours. I hope this helps your decision. this purchase is one of those things YOU WONT REGRET. Find low mileage, Service FIRST, follow maintance schedule and keep the car running and on the road. Oh, AND get as many of the feature you cant live without. You wont enjoy it if you keep wishing it had this or that, or if it was this color or that color. Etc etc. Good luck brother. Let me know if I can help in any way. My name is Elias
@@EliasSreyes Hey thanks, that was extremely informative. Appreciate it. I'll make sure to come back here if I have any other questions. I think my only immediate one would be is this: How long have you had yours, and what was the mileage on it assuming you bought it used.
EliasSreyes good evening,I have an question for you, after reading your message, do u feel that an warranty is needed for this car,I have my eye on one that has only 35,568 miles 2017, grand lusso.. just an bit nerveous, because I would like to keep this car into my 50,s or so, God willing, right now I have an 2014 cla 45 amg.. thanks for your answer with this matter
EliasSreyes facts..
Thank you so much. I was about to buy one today but after this video I think I wouldn’t do :(
Why didn’t you go fix the broken power driver seat?
Good Video. BTW the "arm pocket" is to put in an umbrella. :)
have had a 2006 qp v8 forever its been great ! may try and trade for a trofeo qp if i can pick one off.
5:34 to 7:33
Maserati has been owned by FIAT since 1993. From 1988-2016 FIAT had owned 90% of stakes in Ferrari. In 1997-2005 FIAT had sold 50% of it's share of Maserati to Ferrari.
In 2014, FIAT became FCA, so that's why you have some Dodge and Chrysler parts out of a bin that's already being made, cutting cost significantly to the company. Only thing I can find on a quick search was that only thing Ferrari about the cars are the engines. I checked out and cross reference a few Maserati cars from Ferrari, turns out the transmission in Maserati is from a German company called ZF, which also makes transmissions for like BMW, Audi, Jaguar, and Rolls-Royce.
I'm gonna assume they're not gonna use Ferrari paint for the calipers and just use paint FCA already has on hand instead of having to pay Ferrari to use their special paint
I like the eagle reference however 😁
Thank you for your informative and entertaining review. We have to lift our hats to the Italians. They put some waves into the german dominated sea of luxury sedans. Yes, the guys north of the Alps build the best cars, but maybe that isn't the issue. You really pick this car over others because it is different. Yes, you spent a lot of money, but if the statement that you make is not quite enough for you since thousands of other fairly wealthy people do the same thing, then you have to consider other ways to tell the world that you are not the guy to follow everybody else. So I guess the sales figures of the Maserati Quattroporte always reflected the amount of people who want a luxury car but still feel the need to separate themselves from the boring and conservative crowd. In this regard the car doesn't need to be as perfect as the germans, not even close. As you said, it just needs to put a smile on your face as often as possible, and that the Italians can do.
Thanks for your thoughts I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
Lesia Boelter thank you for ur statement,, it helped me a lot.
Maseratis after 2014 are cheezy. Plastic wood and imitation metal on the door. I recommend get a prior 2012 Maserati Quattroporte
Great car!
Funny. Loved this video. I'm interested in purchasing one in Florida. We shall see. Thanks
Thanks! And good luck I’m jealous...
just out of curiosity, what gave you more problems, this or the older vantage?
Aaron Harstine yes the older ones had the most issues, the new one has an ZF1 transmission, the same one the s class uses along with other cars.
@@fordstone2725 Great question I'd probably say the Aston but maybe cause its just older.... watch my new video where I tell you the 5 things that will go wrong with a vantage
I love my gts it’s amazing but I suggest getting a pedal commander it takes out the lag and makes it even faster but suggest don’t put it in insane mode on the pedal commander. Other then that a few upgrades will make this even more enjoyable. Even my wife loves this this Maserati gts
I'm looking at purchasing a 2014 GTS. I'm looking for owners who already own a 2014 up to a 2016 since they're all the same except for 2017 when they changed some more major things. I just would like to know generally about repair costs, upkeep, enjoyability, and just anything about the car in general.
Iron Man98 I understand where you’re coming from when it comes down to buying such an expensive car, I wanted to know everything that I could possibly know about Maserati and each brand of car so what got me kind of hook to begin with was The Gibley Ginobili and I Collett that for a reason it’s a beautiful looking car it has power but it should not look like that the cost of those cars for 20142016 $20,000-$30,000 makes my Quattro porte GTS look like a cheap car play it’s not it’s fun no a couple bad things about the car the brake caliber was faded I got lucky and Maserati did a new paint job on it now they’re beautiful. The other down part is depends on how you drive your car if you drive your car or you’re constantly peeling out and slamming on that gas pedal which is a very fun but I could actually cost somebody the registration for my 2016 is about $1400 a year in California the oil change is about $700 per year or 12,000 miles tires depending on what you buy and what brand the tires I have on my car 315/25/R 22 those tires range anywhere from $250 to 550 so ranges for any new tire $700-$2200 just for tires next insurance is going to jump up to about $300 just for that car it’s because of how expensive it is to fix the car Maserati had to put a brand new bumper on the rear of my car $9000-$10,000 that includes the pain and everything else so when it comes down to this car it seems like there’s a lot more negative it cost because there is . It’s a high-end exotic car not as high as Ferrari Lamborghini but it is a high-end car it has a Ferrari engine in it but I will tell you this I love my GTS I love everything about it I love the Phil I love the twerk I love the horsepower I love the look I love the rims and tires and sound and everything else I decided to go with the GTS because I do have a family I got three boys and my wife so with that being said I couldn’t go with the Gran Turismo like I wanted because there’s no room in the backseat that Ginobili has no room in the backseat you’re all squished so I went with a GTS because the GTS is pure comfort throughout the car unless you’re 7 foot tall dude or woman or he she. You will fit just fine back there and be comfortable not to mention all back windows have a sunvisor that goes up in my 2016 the sound is incredible sounds like I have a small system in my car and that’s comparing it to my SUV that has a Bose system in it I’ll take the system in this car over the Bose system much louder much more bass now with that being said I would not give up my car. I have a few friends that asked me why I bought it it took me three years to finally buy a Maserati and all my friends are business people they’re only looking for the next team that they can invest in to build their secondary third fourth income that way if anything ever happens we have multiple incomes and they would ask me why did I do it and I told them. You just have to get into it Dryvit fill it for yourself so last weekend he decided to go on the Touro app and rent a Maserati but he drove the 2014 Gibley and he was surprised about how it felt the power it had been a fun car how much you wanna step on the pedal and just go because you know you can I’ve been 170 miles an hour in this car perfectly fine rip the ground like no tomorrow you can feel the difference and that’s switch for the power you can feel the difference in that button or switch for the suspension hugs that ground if you have to go around something. 530 hp behind your hands increase horsepower and torque with the Pedal Commander increase horsepower and torque and sound by doing a resonator delete I’m putting in cross pipe there’s much of other stuff you could do but you’re talking about very expensive parts when you drive down the road people want to know who’s in your car I texted him all my windows including the windshield it cost about $600-$700 to do the nano ceramic tent 50% tax on the windshield my wife already got it. 30% on the driver and passenger and 5% of AR nano ceramic window tape on the rear and all through the car I didn’t wanna make my window tent that dark because the darker it is the more you’re going to get pulled over I still want to people to be able to see who it was Kinda in the car but not be able to see completely now with that being said the positive stuff that you could do to the car just makes it that more enjoyable. Is it worth $700 for an oil change not really is it worth 1400 for the tags not really but is it worth knowing that you have all the speed in your hand and hardly anyone on the freeway could touch you absolutely like I said I won’t give up my car. I sold my Yamaha are one because my wife gave me a choice I could buy the Maserati or get rid of the bike I said bye to the bike and I go and buy another one later on but that’s not the point the point is I’m not gonna give up my car and in a few short years I’ll probably Going to upgrade to a new Maserati I hope that helps you and if you have any other questions go ahead and respond
@@unclejosh1984 Thank you for your informative reply. I appreciate it.
@@unclejosh1984 i just purchased a 2018 gts and love it. Wish i could do something with the tail lights. Have u seen any differnet lights?
@@Munition-Hobbyist honestly the tail lights I think you can look on eBay I know eBay is not the best but there’s not to much of that upgrade there is a few performance upgrades you can get like a beautiful exhaust pipe upgrade the chip your looking at 11k for that But the one thing that I could think of is if you could find somebody that does custom smoke tell lights you can do that
dont forget maserati is a very small car constructor, it does not have the budget to develop some things like merceds benz does.
the profits they make are not a lot, just like alfa romeo lets hope they stay a flote ! so we can enjoy italian cars in the future
You actually have gloves in the glove box haha
How reliable are the transmissions on these? Any issues with the motor?
ZF transmission if i remember
actualy lamorghini had a suv in the 80's the LM002 !
That arm pocket is where most maserati owners keep thier guns
I think criticising minor things is not good, nothing is perfect.
Edit: I did not mean that all of the things mentioned are not complain worthy.
Waqar Aslam true

Did yo buy the car just to complain about it smh
“Real Estates Agents”...lol
I wish I could afford one...
Quattroporte is a model running in the maserati brand for 60+ years...

You need to do a little more research on who owns what in the automotive industry
Buick air vents! 😂😂😂😂😂
Panamera is worse for rear leg room. 2013 and earlier Maseratis are worse.
He ran out of ways and means to cut this car down . Truth is, the car is a bad ass machine. When you drive this machine, it’s like a four door Ferrari. Comparing it to Chrysler is an absolute disrespect to the style and design of this sex machine. Chrysler would wish on a falling star to hit them in the ass to get lucky enough to engineer one like this.He should have gotten a hellcat or whatever to match the personality. What a fucked up review.
thank you for showing me the ends in bed and good about that car I really appreciate that 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️
Man, this car sucks. With this review really opened my eyes. Thanks for the honest review.
Audi a 8 l. Mi masariti mi
Fi at Fiat Fiat that's who bought it
I stopped watching when I realized you can’t even pronounce the name of the car :/
Anyone who justifies buying this car new..................... Yeah right 🤔🤔🤔🤔
You’re so wrong kid……
Gib-lee. Learn to pronounce a word outside of American English. You might sound a bit smarter.
Gibli better.
Poor gay guy is trying to do car review. If you not 60 years old you can buy this car with soft closing option!!! Some don’t need it! You’re not allowed to buy this car if you thinking about fuel consumption😂
This is the most BS car review I've ever seen. Just give up
Maserati is an overpriced shit. The quality to price ratio is ridiculous. Cadillac and ford are far better than this crap.
Maserati cars are the most beautiful in the market
