I DISAGREE WITH DOUG DEMURO | You SHOULD Buy The Maserati Ghibli. This Is Why. 

I Love how This Video is Right Below That Doug's Video

If she won’t wait in the rain as you look for your metallic emerald blue bmw, she aint the one.

I have the Luxury of owning both, an Audi A6 3.0 and now just recently purchased my used 15" Ghibli with 30,000 miles at a great price! Let me tell you, YOU CANNOT COMPARE THESE VEHICLES! Everywhere I look this car is turning heads and it's probably the only Maserati in my entire zip code, and it certainly makes a clear statement when I arrive to my business meetings. GET YOU ONE AT THE RIGHT PRICE, you will not be disappointed.

The price you pay for this car is for it’s looks and styling. The rest you get for free.

I have an SQ4, and unless you've owned one you definitely shouldn't comment. These car's are quick and super underrated. Over 400hp and 400tq with awd is a blast.

So it’s not very fast. Handling is mediocre. Not really optioned well. Won’t hold its value. But if your valet is too stupid to hit the lock button to cycle the lights in order to find your BMW quickly on a rainy day you will get all the ladies. Totally legit review. Solid.

So basically he confirmed everything that Doug DeMuro said - the bad steering, being slow, super bad build quality, etc. But he would still buy it just to turn heads and pretend that he is rich...(when he is not)... lol... And actually, the restaurant scenario is not that likely as this car will be broken most of the time.

Thank you Adam for your review... You're very right... and it isn't surely a good and amazing car. I sold my 1 and half years old BMW 4series cabrio for the Maserati and although the BMW was a great car... I NEVER want to change my Maserati for a BMW now I've tasted everything of my Ghibli... and perhaps you forgot one thing to say in the review... many complaining about the gear shift.. but if they should use it RIGHT than they should discover that it works PERFECTLY ... I never have any problem with... oh... and Audi is using parts of VW too... makes it feel Audi worthless? Well, Maserati isn't worthless too... just coz of some buttons or screen.

I love my Maserati SQ4. I’ve owned new Audi, BMW, Mercedes and they don’t compare to my current Maserati. Maserati is fast, looks beautiful and definitely a head turner .

Maserati is one of nice exotic cars and many people would love to own but can't afford not even used one so they end up complaining how they don't like buttons lol.

I rented a Levante to propose to my gf in NY (same abuse received as a ghibli). I drove past AMG’s, M’s, and Porsches that were all far more expensive and techy. Didn’t matter, the levante turned heads like nothing I’ve ever seen, people took pictures of it, came up to me to ask what it was, or stared. I didn’t think it was so great, ride was ok, handling was meh, acceleration was disappointing, but MAN, it sounds like an absolute monster. It’s presence was second to nothing, I am going to lease one soon.

1:40 wait...the s modal got 410 HP and not 345hp

I work at a luxury dealer in Dallas and when we get Ghibli’s we straight up cannot sell them. We’ve had 4 in the last year, 3 were sent to auction after 90 days because not a soul in the world wants to buy them. Re sale is total trash and is a complete money pit. I should mention all 4 of these people were severely upside down on them

Rented a Ghibli from Turo and bought a Gran Turismo a month later.

2019, 2020 or 2021 what’s the highest to go in mileage when looking and what about trims and factory buy backs? I’m looking at them now…gonna give the boy the my Jag 3.0 Super Charge which I like, but liking the Rati a lot… So that said any insight, help knowledge would be appreciated greatly! 😊

I like mine. No issues. Attractive. In the end it's a personal decision. Some are perfectly fine driving a Ford Escape.

Fiat Chrysler group did not buy the Maserati brand. Maserati was part of Fiat Group for ages and already when they bought Chrysler. Which was a really long time ago. And no purchase of Maserati has in any way affected quality, at least negatively. All other brands also have their switchgear shared with other models, including minivans. Mercedes, BMW, all of them.

I'm not sure what year it is, someone angrily comment what year it is if it's obvious, but Doug was commenting on the 2017 Ghibli, and they improved the Ghibli since then I've heard, so the thumbnail title makes it seem like a scheme for views. The 2017 and early Ghiblis weren't anywhere near the best (stylish as it was), but newer ones I've heard aren't as bad, especially used, and they are quite cool.

Nice video, Adam, and interesting points of view. Some notes from someone that bought one brand new and got back 37% of the original price (in Australia, mind you) after 6 years of trouble-free ownership (the car was kept in perfect condition and still had extended warranty when I sold it). Here are my points: 1. I am not sure an E-class or an A6 or a 5-series would have kept their value much more. If they did, we would not be talking about a major amount of money. 2. I have owned a BMW, three Mercedes cars and one Audi. The Maserati was more reliable than most of them. Granted, I did not drive it every day, but my car was very reliable. The Audi had major gearbox issues (at low kms) and the E-class had to go back on a truck once - not to mention things breaking all the time. The BMW was as reliable as the Maserati. 3. My Ghibli (base model petrol, 330 hp) was exactly the same price as an E400 at the time of purchase in Australia. Identical performance; not slower. The E-class far better screwed together and more practical, but terribly bland. (And I love the E-class; one the best allround cars one can buy despite quality issues.) 4. The cheap plastics are annoying, but so were all the VW parts in my Audi. And the infotainment in my $100k BMW was a joke for the money. Not to mention the loughable ergonomics in the Audi that had more than 20 buttons around the gear stick -- an idiotic practice that both Audi and Porsche seem to love. The worst part for me in the Ghibli was that the whole car does not feel as solid as a Merc E-class or a BMW 5-series. 5. Does it turn heads? Oh yeah. Does it sound unbelievable, in a very technical, Italian way? Sure it does. Is it the cheapest way to get your hands on a Ferrari-built, incredible engine? Yep. Is the fantastic ZF gearbox perfectly mated to this wonderful engine and competent chassis? Aboslutely. Even average drivers like me get incredibly satisfying power slides, being fully in control. Good luck getting that out of an Audi or an E-class. 6. Do you want a much better screwed car, more space everywhere, more long distance comfort and refinement, more gadgets but still a good looking car with a magic engine? Get a recent, low-kms Quattroporte. I did, and I am never looking back!

I see there is one in town for $25k, with 101k miles... Think its worth the price ?

Question for those who owned a Maserati. The local dealer has a Ghibli Base $28504 with 47k miles 1 owner and clean carfax. Is that something to consider?

Ahhh that road is sweet!!! Glad it’s getting some love! Great vid! Everything you said makes so much sense at least to me. It’s like saying you would rather have a Giulia instead of the 3 series... trust me nobody is going to think a 3 series is anything special even though it’s definitely a better car lol

I completely disagree. You work 9-10 hours at a job you hate to walk outside and into a car that does not come close to the E class or 5 series, especially the interior. Your date is going to get in the car and question why the inside of your Maserati looks like her dodge when shes only paying $200 a month. If you can get the Armo lease deals on one of theses then do it, but if i had the choice i would never pick this.

Great review as I am considering one of these. I like the unique design but have some concerns about reliability and maintenance costs. I will only drive this 7-10k miles a year so it probably won't matter so much but would like to hear some thoughts.

I love mine. Swapped out the coils to Stephanie running a JB Ford ship with the 85 which completely woke up the motor. It was between this or a BMW Audi or Mercedes which you see hundreds a day. I will not see a single Maserati or maybe just one a day. Having a car that’s unique, and you’re not going to see five at a stoplight was worth it for me.

so this is a car you dont want to drive allot right? or could it be just a normal every day car

doesn't it produce 404 hp with the S?

I know this is a 2 year old video, and I am sure it has been pointed out by now, but the "S" and the SQ4 has 404 HP and a 0-60 of 4.7sec. I have an SQ4.

Oh... but one more thing... believe me... my Ghibli is really reliable in any way... no problems at all... Sorely not the fastest... but 101% more attractive and eye catcher... I see perhaps once in a few months 1 Maserati... BMW Audi Mercedes Porsche etc... I see them at each corner of the street... No one looks... for a Maserati everyone turns his head...

A lease under 600$with 500$ down payment where tell me where please because I’m from ny and they want over 800 with 10k down lol

Love my sq4. Btw the sq4 and s trim produces 404hp/406lbft. 0 to 60 under 5 sec

Facts finally a realist on Maserati .they don’t have the toys but the lambo don’t either this car is for only certain drivers .this car stands out more than the rest

What is the first song after the intro? Please let me know!!! ☕👍

Im just wondering how the hell maserati can make any money, when even you agree that you should only buy it used

Bro your not telling them anything about the maintenance cost the faulty fuel pump the faulty oil pump how you have to get it updated every so often that cost a arm and a leg I actually own one

Straightforward communicator, very clear, thumbs up.

In a roundabout way you and Doug agree. You're both saying the car is inferior to its German competition. The difference is you think that's okay because of the badge on the hood. Respectfully I'm siding with Doug here. This just is not a good car

What year is the best year in that CAR!????

Doug was 100% right. I work at a dealership and it was one of the worst cars I’ve ever been in. The interior quality is insulting for a luxury car.

Doug essentially said that the Ghibli is more about show than capabilities. Not much different here. Also its bad financial advice to buy Maserati (or any premium brands) as a middle class as the maintenance will set you back and stop you getting ahead. Showing off will only get you so far…

LMAO THIS CAR IS MADE FOR ME😂😂😂 someone whos tryna flex money without having money 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Imagine wasting 85k on this car back in 2015 and trading it in under 20 grand now 😂 lmao

The Maserati badge is more exclusive more special than any of it's rivals that's the difference! and people who say Chrysler/Mercedes parts yeah, who cares? it's the engine that matters! the most important in a car! besides, I like the fact that Maserati has been tweaked improved since it's launch especially the steering and pleases the enthusiast remaining old skool and not going in the crazy self-driving electrification direction of Tesla, Mercedes etc....

Dude this is a great video.

Love the sound! Jeez, exactly my favourite extremely unique beast but a second hand here is slightly over ZAR600 000 ($45 000). Thanks, i wasn't aware that Ghibli is slightly smaller that the Quattroporte.

These cars lose almost half the value once off the lot. Try to get them used for sure!

Totally agreed! Plus you forgot to mention the other ars feel soulless in comparison to the experience of driving an Italian thoroughbred, even it isn't the fastest, that exhaust note is sexy!

The best thing is to buy one of these that are a few years old and low mileage. Luxury cars depreciate like crazy, and quickly too. I bought myself a 2016 Jaguar XFS AWD that was $74,000 brand new for $32,000 this year in January. As of rn I only have 15000 miles on it. Don’t waste your money buying a brand new luxury vehicle.

I’ve bought maserati right after watching doug review over ghibli 2 weeks driving the car no regrets the only thing i hate about this car is fuel consumption

About to get a 2014 Ghibli with only 65k miles on it for $20k. Two owners and looks like brand new. Thanks for the video and vote of confidence in this car. I can't wait.

This is legit one of the worst videos I've ever watched. The entire video is just shrugging off major fundamental issues with the car, and counter arguing with anecdotal, shallow, and biased points. Just because the car is priced at $70,000 does not mean it's worth that much. This thing is a cheap toy compared to a Panamera at the same price point in your article.

I don't mind if they use the parts bin but please NOT where I and passengers can see them, it just doesn't work for me when I'm spending above average on a car. Their marketing people should know this and in doing so are treating buyers as dummies thinking a: buyers won't notice b: buyers don't mind and c: a fool and his/her money are quickly separated (i'm one, I bought a used German car)

I think it’s just the Ghibli. But people be buying the Granturismo.

Doesn’t change the fact that the Ghibli is the most overpriced vehicle and an endless moneypit

10 minutes of pure coping

I would love to get one with red or peanut butter leather in it

Lol, you made me laugh with the $1 tip.

Lol I'm also driving a Maserati Ghibli IN SINGAPORE , means cars are super expensive in my country, these Maseratis depreciates like crazy BUT it's still very exclusive owning it here due to its high road tax and 10 year only leasehold in my country... Anyone that says maseratis are just for people that wants to "act rich" please go own it one yourself, see if you can handle the maintenance costs and taxes ...

Congrats. I was going to get a new Honda Civic type R and now I’m looking at a used Maserati.

Very good point you made.

Not loving this Ghibli, but I like your review and you have your point, great one

So you're saying to buy the car that under-represents the image people have for the brand, but because most people don't know that, they'll be fooled into thinking that the car you drive isn't garbage. BUT YOU WILL !. Totally disagree with your assesment.

I still love my Ghibli! At the end of the day it's still a Maserati!

I couldn't give a damn about status or prestige. Reliability is where it's at and it's not there with the Maserati.

I wud say in the end im gonna get one just because most people doesnt want one.

I think this car looks awesome.

The people that make fun of the window switches sound dumb. They don’t realized that these switches you complain about came originally from Mercedes.. when Mercedes & Chrysler were merged. Chrysler adapted those switches and chassis to make the 300 and other models. So basically when people make fun of everything in this car they’re making fun of everything mercedes built. And they’re making fun of the dodge Chargers and challengers which are based on the same chassis. It’s crazy how much people don’t know about cars and let a review do it for them.

i ONLY have the 3.0 diesel, but the torque available, and the sport mode soundtrack, still hast vast power, most cars are very quickly looking at the back end.... a wonderful car, and so glad at this stage i didnt go for a 430d bmw, which although a nice car, are 10 to the dozen.... mine however, is a headturner, white, with the 20" gun metal grey wheels.... i might have to go out for a quick drive !!! lol

thanks I completely agree with you

Maintenance is Waaaaaaaaaaay too expensive

I would pick any Maserati over any bmw. New or classic. Mr. tomorrow's opinion is just not worth listening to.

As an owner of 00’s maserati and ferraris - this car did not get a ferrari designed engine as the others did. It’s a pentastar w tweaks. Things like switches - my f and m cars use switches from cheap fiats. Snobby car reviewers are just trying to get clicks. And unfortunately this car doesn’t handle well - it’s based on an older merc/chrys 300. It is beautiful but you can see sergio m was just trying to increase volume. Maserati is fixing the error of this mentality by building on the giorgio platform w the alfa / ferrari derived v6.

Having leased a 16 Maserati Ghibli SQ4 and a 19 SQ4 I can say the positives outweigh the negatives by a wide margin. 424hp, AWD, huge Italian style, crazy Italian exhaust note, 4.5 sec 0-60. Auto start, heated wheel, heated rear seats, adaptive cruise w lane keeping, great sound system, handles like a sport coupe, SPORT MODE is awesome, you can hear your F1 pit crew telling you “mode push, mode push” lol. The car is special, and not a a fleet Euro car, MB, Audi, BMW etc. It’s a car that EVERYONE wishes they could drive, and yes the valets never give you a ticket, it’s I got you bro, so please tip them appropriately. I would definitely buy one off a 3 or 4 year lease with low miles and clean carfax, all the major depreciation has taken place.Treat yourself once!

No one has yet to compare the maintenance side of things.

Great honest review of the car. If your good with overlooking the cons (like I am) then an absolute BUY!

Planning to mindfuck a Dealership and going to get a few grand off their already good priced Maserati. This car is fairly terrible from what i've heard, which can do wonders with negotiation. I can buy it cash, I'm pretty sure they are desperate af to sell.

Ummm...No. you basically confirmed everything Doug said, but narrowed it down to being a good buy for a narcicist. or some who wants to pretend to be rich. Also Executive class vehicles are supposed to be luxurous and built well...that's why they are called executive. Smooth power, comfortable ride, luxury features, build quality etc...if you want a car with poor build quality, poor reliability, no fetures and parts bin switches, those are typically not executive cars . that fits the description of a Pontiac Bonneville from the 90s.......

Is it faster than your BMW? NO. Is it reliable? HELL NO. Is it made of cheap materials? There's plastic all over the place. Yet this is my MASERATI and i'm proud of it.What a stupid review😂

I think the 2002 - 2007 Maserati Spyders & Coupes are the sweet spot: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zBN3dtC0Ujs.html

With all due respect, anyone in the market looking for a car in the $80K range, will definitely exclude this vehicle from other candidates, after watching this video.

So basically what you are saying you buy this car so you can impress non car people and don’t mind the bad tech bad reliability ect… you get it

Adam I agree with you

The Geehbly lol underpowered, slow, falls apart, constantly in the shop. But seriously there are cars on the market at almost half the price, faster and WAY more reliable.

Still love this car...

Love it!

You said it right 👌🏽 “ stand out “ not like the commoners like Mercedes 🤷🏽‍♀️. I love mine 🖤

This Vehicle is not touching a BMW 5 series plus the X6 M Competition exist and the 8 Series exist. Test drive both and you will chose a BMW hands down. I test drive the Maserati Ghibli but i owned a Audi once and went BMW and won't replace BMW for a Maserati ever!

"A dollar tip..." 😂😂😂

If you want to pay 20,000 for new struts & 10,000 timing chain repair get one . They the most expensive parts .

I have a Alfa romeo4c , porsche 718 gts, Range Rover velar, and Maserati ghibli, I tried some bmw, Audi and Mercedes as well, for those peoples who keep complaining this car, I believe most of them didn’t ever sit on it🤔

As soon as you said it’s not reliable I closed the video that’s all I needed to hear

It has cheap materials? Look at a BMW from the same year. Oh yeh it is full of cheap and boring materials.

Something jus been telling me to buy one I think ima do it even tho everyone has been telling me not to because they think it’s a trash car

Man! Im trying to watch your video BUT THE BACKGROUND MUSIC SUCKSSSSSS

one of the worst exhaust sounds I've heard especially at that price range.

You should absolutely not buy this car 😂

Ferrari has bad quality parts too! My Maserati 4200GT is made by Ferrari and only around 5000 of them was made. However, Ferrari parts are very sticky and the MFA, fuel pump, and F1 sensor are all known to fail.

I disagree. I guess people just care about attention these days. That is your only selling point for this car lol

I agree

Nope, Ghibli is the most overpriced and least reliable vehicle on the market. Plus, why would I pay 70k for an exterior Maserati look for a Dodge Dart interior
