    So the "Maserati Ghibli S" is a bumpy car that rattles & the seats squeak & the switches & gizmos are cheap,cheap,cheap...but its safe & it sounds like a tiger....I love it & hate it at the same time...my mind is melting!

    That's a very fair review IMO given your experiences. I think the problems are many, the main one being in Australia, all these luxury cars cost two to three times what the Americans pay. The other, the Chrysler parts sharing. The FIAT group really damaged Maserati when they decided to break it away from Ferrari. I have the GranTurismo which was built under the old Ferrari partnership with Ferrari engines and parts. Many years now, excellent build quality. Enjoyed your video. Nice one.

    As a former 2015 Ghibli owner, I agree with his review 100%. Rattle in my sunroof was never resolved. The stereo sound was embarrassing to say the least. It was a head-turner, but very low quality car. I sold mine last year right before the mandatory $3,500.00 US brake replacement. Good riddance

    Love this honest review. Between 2004--2008, I owned a 2002 Maserati Cambiocorsa Spyder. I describe that car as a car that everyone else was excited about, but I hated owning. My funniest story about that car. I lived in the Bay Area in California. Highways are less than perfect, part of my commute was past the Oakland Arena where the Raiders and Warriors played. There was uneven pavement on the freeway almost as I passed by. It would jar the car so that the hood would crack open a bit. I had the F1 transmission, which had a feature where if the car downshifted from 6 to 1, with the hood unlatched, the car would not move from 1st gear upwards, so I had to pull over on a crowded freeway to push the hood down before I could go on with my day. ...the reason for this was because they used a lightweight aluminum for the hood, yet, skimped on the hood latch mechanism to actually hold it down in real world conditions.

    I used to work at Avis a few years ago and the Chrysler products we got were so bad they were hilarious. Jeep Wranglers with 12k and 9k with completely blown transmission seals, Fiat 500s with broken ignition barrels that would almost fall out of the steering column, challengers that would shut off while driving for no reason ( happened to me 3 times with 3 different cars under normal city driving, no abuse), we got a Ghibli once and an older guy rented it for two weeks for a trip, it has 9k on it, he brought it back after two days saying the whole car was broken ( wtf? ) he was actually talking about all the rattles, the driver seat stopped working, the infotaiment system was buggy and laggy they are complete piles its crazy people spend this much money. Btw if you look at the interiors of these Ghiblis and then look at a Dodge Grand Caravan you will recognize ALOT of buttons and trim pieces, think about that when you are about to buy a 150k Maserati lol.

Its a car, they ALWAYS drop in value.. it's a car... as far as tech, it gets old too fast. And it gets cheap too fast. So you'll find people with a KIA thinking its as prestige as a Maserati or better just because it too has the latest tech - NO.

    • @milkshakemuncher
      @milkshakemuncher Před 4 lety

      I agree with you on the car market, they all lose value nowadays, some just lose it faster than others. I think that's what Danny is saying of this Maserati, he expects it to lose some value but based on his previous luxury cars and how they never lost value as fast, never thought the Maserati would either.
      With the tech, yes I agree with you, it changes so often that things get outdated in an instant. What Danny is saying here for this car is that it's an expensive car and for the tech available at the time of design and manufacture, Maserati could have added a lot more and gave customers a much better product and still made money.
      As he said it's a 2014 car and some technology that was available in 2012 still was not in the car (two year old technology missing) that's not very good from Maserati, especially as technology is fast paced, that's all the more reason it should have been in the car.

    By the way, I bought a brand new fully-loaded Ford Fusion Titanium in 2013 and there were two rattling noises that were driving my nuts. I was pissed, but I knew it wasn't a luxury vehicle. In any case, I eventually found the source of every rattle and fixed them. But if I had paid more than $60K, I would have been livid and would have demanded the dealer to fix every single squeak and rattle.

  • @yankee2yankee216

    This confirms what I always thought about Maseratis... that fast and sporting (and expensive) as they are, the quality is simply not there. Ever since the BiTurbo, which was a dog, and worse than that, a dog with serious mechanical issues, I have had little faith in Mazers. In fact, I think that company is trading mostly on its name alone, and that is heading rapidly downhill. There are so many great cars for that kind of money which are so much better! Personally, my own BMW 128i (with MT) is about as "exotic" a car as I will ever need.

Yours is the very 1st version, too bad if you were'nt satisfied but this is the kind of risk you take when you buy a car designed on a totally new platform: nobody knows what it's going to be after 2 years. The same happened to Porsche with the first version of Cayenne, it was plenty of flaws and had to improve a lot over the years. Same with the Panamera.

    i bought my Ghibli S Q4 in 2014. Overall - he is right. I won't repeat what he said, dime a dozen issues, bad engineering everywhere etc. Nevertheless, I still love this car. Fully admit it's not worth the money new - competitors offer cars globs better. But - they all bored me at the time, and they still bore me. Drove the panamera (superb quality - would wipe it's butt with the ghibli) I'd still take my ghibli over it, just looks so much better to me. Drove the BMW 5 series, far better engineered car, booooring, would take my ghibli over it. Benz E - quality fit and finish are not even comparable to ghibli - it's multiple classes better, still ghibli. the car hits the spot for me. now would I buy another Mazer new again? no - it's a rip off. There is just no other way to put it. But, I'd definitely buy a used one. Mine is worth $25k now (on top of everything awful depreciation) but i can't imagine a better looking, more exciting car for $25k. it literally has a ferrari derived super competent engine with a great design, sexy exhaust note - for $25k - for the love of god...

    The look and sound so damn good, and I really don't mind the lack of tech. The 14/15 q4s have dropped into the 30k price range (and seemed such a good value) I have been looking into for a daily driver. Hard to find something that has a sexy look, sound, is fast and AWD and 4 doors to put the kids in. I got so excited to see find these until I started doing research.
    Thank god for you tube and doing research because you aren't the only one saying things like this. Was between this and the Audi S4 (which is so plain looking and sounding), but I cant stand squeaks and rattles. I keep seeing why these dropped to my price range.

    Thanks for the review! I was thinking of buying a Ghibli... But hearing that so many people have these rattle issues and Maserati told me that they dont know of any rattle issues proofes that they didnt work on improving the build quality. Also I wonder - the rattle issues are an obvious sign for poor quality.... But what about the hidden issues? Engine, electric stuff and so on... how durable and reliable ist that? Too bad... I'd Love to have a Ghibli, But due to the loss of trust in their quality and the significant depreciation, it would probably give me worries rather than fun

    The problem with Maserati is, Fiat purchased Chrysler and Maserati is also under the Fiat Group. All Maseratis have a Ferrari drive train but, the rest was probably designed by someone at Chrysler. The new Maserati SUV is built on the Jeep platform. Their are so many bits and pieces from Chrysler on all new Maseratis. Maserati needs to bring their lineup into 2017 and beyond. If they don't step their game up and get to the business of making the brand stand out from the rest, they'll loose a lot of new and old customers. As a matter of fact. I was going to buy a Maserati but, thinking about their poor build quality on all the new models, I decided to buy a Range Rover HSE and I love it.

      Darrell Tuttle the Maserati Levante (SUV) is not built/based on a Jeep platform. It is based on the Ghibli/Quattroporte's platform. Originally they intended to use a Jeep platform, although they scraped that idea (and gladly they did) and went with their own platform to use.

    • @theguild42

      Vasil Boshnyakov The FACT is, the only good thing about Maserati is that it has a Ferrari drive train. The rest of the car has Chrysler bits and pieces. If I want a Chrysler, I'll go to a Chrysler dealer not a Maserati dealer.

    I saw that you’re a millionaire... Now, I agree w the review. I’m in the USA. There are to many Maseratis here. I’m pretty sure there are more Maseratis then Porches. At 1 point in time Maserati was an exotic name and no1 had one. Now they’re all over.
    As for the Ghibli, everyone has that exact model. Why didn’t you buy a different model to be different??

    The Maserati's I've driven just make me feel good, they've got bags of character and style & any minor quality issues they do have can always be rectified with a little thought & ingenuity. If squeaks & rattles drive you nuts, it's easier to stick with the crowd - there's any number of bland, completely soul less german shit boxes you can get for the same money.

    Hey Daniel, get ready for my essay...
    Regarding Maserati and the Ghibli and Quattroporte - they are absolute stunners but feel like a rushed car just to get into the market. As they’re new, the quality just isn’t there yet as well. I admire the look of them and the sound, but the fact that they share SO many parts with the FIAT/Chrysler group would always deter me from dropping any money on one. I personally would only buy a Maserati Granturismo - again, they are stunners and sound incredible but are starting to show their age from a technology stand point and performance (the MC stradale for example is about 4.7 to 100 km/h, which is pretty weak considering they charge the higher 300s for one.
    As a replacement to the Ghibli, I’d highly recommend the Mercedes-AMG C63 S - there are plenty for sale on the used market in, so you won’t get slugged unnecessarily as well.
    Perhaps an Audi RS6 or a BMW M5, but I think the AMG best suits you; you want a quiet and calm cruiser for business but can flick a button and can have an absolute hoot; the C63 S does this better than any of its competition.
    You could try the Giulia but similarly to Maserati, I’d just wait until quality and reliability has been accomplished.
    Regarding your 458 and how you’re getting a payout, I’m unsure how much you’ll get and whether you’d want to put more towards another car, but please do not buy a Huracán - unless you really want to take the depreciation hit, they’re not worth it.
    Buy a Gallardo Superleggera or LP560, or get an older Aventador - these all will hold value well versus an LP610 (unless it’s a cheaper LP610 of course)
    I’m a Ferrari man and would love to see you in another 458 - I know the market quite well and know 458 Spiders will always be valuable no matter what. Besides the 458 Speciale Aperta (which is unattainable), it’s Ferrari’s Last naturally aspirated V8 open top. It’s a brilliant car to enjoy and can be an investment too.
    This has been a huge comment but I’m happy to discuss anything further but I see you with a C63 S & a 458 Spider
    Best bang for buck and both will not lose money or a lot.
    All the best,
    Matt

    @TheHomeExpert5 Před 5 lety +1

    It's a shame that you really cannot purchase a Maserati and expect it to be a quality vehicle with the accoutrements of even a Lexus that cost one third of the price. They are attractive cars, and the engine sound great, but the quality and the durability and the reliability are total disasters. Mercedes-Benz is not that much better, a beautiful Mercedes that is 6 or 7 years old only keeps about 20 to 25% of its value because the reliability is so poor and to repair it is so expensive.

    Such a shame you have such a downbeat view of the car. It is a beautiful looking car with a sound to match. I think the squeaks and rattles have been the key cause of your dissatisfaction (you refer to them several times) in turn this has soured your view across many other aspects. I can only imagine the car you have is a rogue (Friday afternoon) finish as I do not believe these squeaks / rattles would be common to all Ghibli's regardless of mileage. The rest of the comments, " Chrysler parts" etc... well I guess not a surprise given the owners of the company and I think actually fit ok into the general look of the car. I wonder if you had the 2017 or 18 model now available whether you would have a far more pleasurable experience? Thanks for the video....

      correct from 2016 on they have fixed a lot of the issues, however my issues are common in a lot of the 2014 and 15's - i recently took it to the dealer and they have fixed a lot of the squeeks to there credit - however the sunroof is now even worse.....they took all the lining out but still its not good - for the money this should not happen, quality control is not good. they were to busy rushing to get the car out - agreed the car looks great and sounds awesome

      Interior, exterior, tech features, and infotainment have been updated and improved for 2018+ models. Leather and Alcantara and soft plastic. ADAS full package. Better than my previous Audi and BMW. I also own a Porsche and I love my 2018 Maserati SQ4. Now, I agree that the best financial choice is to buy it gently used less than 1 year to absorb the depreciation (that BTW is something that all the luxury sports sedans have). The fact that it stands out from the crowd is for sure. I got a lot of appreciation in real life.

    Maserati is for the people do double median income. If you can't afford to do the brake at the Dealership and ended up doing it yourself alone, you get that result. 1. You must have some bills in your pocket to buy the proper tools, to go to homedepot and buy the TORQUE WRENCH that is not at the LOW-END price or fail again. Read the manual and tight the bolt right amount of pounds again. PROBLEM SOLVED.
