Should You Buy a MASERATI QUATTROPORTE? (Test Drive & Review 2015 3.0 V6 Diesel) 

This is easily the best review you’ve done. Keeping it real and intelligently philosophical. You’ve perfected your craft. I really enjoyed this. Thank you!

I feel exactly that way about my newly acquired XJ portfolio, every time I see it I think "Yes, it's mine" it makes me feel amazing. Best £19,000 I've ever spent. And you're absolutely right, I could have gone and hid in a corner plagued by "what ifs" but faint heart never won fair maiden or put a piece of automotive art on your driveway. I have no regrets.

I picked up a 4 year old petrol Maserati Ghibli couple of weeks ago, I got an amazing deal on it and I gotta say it's just an incredible car. Yes I do have some criticisms, but at the end of the day the sound, beauty an just how special it is, does it for me. Puts a smile on my face and the attention you get is like nothing else! It's the sort of car you buy with your heart not your head, and of course a BMW is better, but I don't care, these are just something else! Great video!

Your comments about life and how it's short are so true. People just mimic other people in their car choices in life ,everyone's too scared to be different ,everyone just follow the herd. When I see someone with a Maserati or something similarly exotic I'm envious of them,not just because of the car they drive but that they've dared to be different and stuck 2 fingers up at a conforming regimental society. Brilliant review of a beautiful car Matt😊😊

Great review on a lovely car Matt. Your comments also on life and your general wellbeing was also very well put; very profound. Continued good health to you and your family and we will all see you on the next one. Cheers for now buddy.

That suits you Matt, you wear it very well. I, on the other hand, followed your advice and bought a 530D Touring as a family ‘wagon’, and you were spot on when you said the 530 is all the car you’d ever need - it really is and I should have bought one long ago. But that Maserati is a thing of beauty and I’d be very surprised if you didn’t get one. Merry Christmas, Andy.

I've always loved the styling of the Quattroporte. Not sure I'd go for the diesel version as the petrol V8 sounds gorgeous. Great video, Matt.

I've slowly watched more and more of your reviews since COVID and they are really growing on me. I feel like I'm in familiar territory when hearing your voice reviewing a car. I've been a Lexus person for a long time, owned about 9, love them. Wife currently has a CT. I buy and sell at least once or twice a year and break even or make a profit, and have felt comfortable with Lexus cars because of their reliability. But I've always loved the look with Mercedes and their cars. I recently bought a W205 C-Class and absolutely love it. There are times admittedly where I wonder if I regret it buying it, I had to replace my 2 rear airmatic struts. But watching this video gave me a sense of encouragement. I don't expect the C-Class to be 100% reliable, but I've always wanted one and I'm glad I've bought this one. Thanks again for your amazing reviews.

Matt, thank you for highlighting the experience of driving a Maserati 👍🏼. You are quite right, you only live once and everyone should try a Maserati. It’s an experience that will always put a smile on your face. My Levante is still available for you to try 😁👍🏼. Great review Matt 👊🏻

Absolutely stunning cars. There's always such a sense of occasion whenever I see one of these. Love the front and also the 'hips' at the back, and the interior is gorgeous. Wrong engine for me though. The V8 sounds as good as the car looks! Would definitely have one of these if I had the money and needed something this big. Fabulous.

Great video again Matt and totally agree with your outlook - we’re here for a good time, not a long time. Always look forward to new content. Keep it up

Love your honest no nonsense auto reviews, great vid on a beautiful car

I actually did work for an extremely wealthy family and the husband had just bought one of these, not sure which model but out of all their cars I was always drawn to that. Stunning blue and chrome exterior and a matching blue and cream leather interior, every bit of it screamed out class. He had some stunning vehicles including a ferrari, merc, range rover and porsche which were all top spec expensive models but that car just came out top for me, no matter how much I hinted he wouldn't let me sit in it never mind drive it but I respected that. The noise when he started it and the smell of the leather when I walked past if it was open...I actually think I was in love 😂😂

Great video mate! I love this car so much, the standard flamboyant Italian styling with a beautiful sound! 😃

Fantastic review. Keeping it real and spouting words of wisdom 👏

Great review Matt. We are here for good time not a long time! Bang on!

I looked at one of these last year. Went for a 640d Gran Coupe in the end. What swayed me was the improved performance and interior quality of the BMW. That being said, every time I see the Maserati I can’t help but admire those lines. Great review! 👏🏻

I used to own the 4.7 petrol, didn’t care about fuel costs, it was servicing that did me. Every time I went to the dealer it cost me a minimum of £3K, also although it was lovely there were switches out of the GM parts bin that ruined the overall. Having said that it was a nice car to drive and the engine sounded very good.

Fantastic video! I had the same philosophy when I bought a three year old Alfa 166 some years ago. Things did go wrong with it, the cam belt cost a fortune to replace and the road tax was a fortune but I’m so glad I went with my gut and as you say had the balls to do it.

I love your outlook on life Matt. I couldn't agree more. And what a stunning, beautiful car. My mate had a 3200GT for a while and even though it cost him a bloody fortune he adored it. It did for him what this Quattroporte did for you.

I finally got that maserati review I’ve been pestering for 🤣. Hope you enjoyed it!

I really thought about getting one of these when I got my 2014 S Class LWB, really loved it being really exclusive and beautiful looking, but chickened out in case was not as reliable and quality! I love my S Class but the “Maz” wow! Fabulous review as always Matt!

Hi Matt , wonderful video , as always . I derived as much pleasure from the car , as I did your spot on take on the gift of life . Correct sentiments , beautifully made .

We are here for a good time, not a long time…😍 perfect car review including life notes which may put you on fire as well. Great!!!

Great review Matt, and your thoughts on life, well said mate 👍

A magic view how most petrol heads must actually feel. Merci Sir.

I can't believe my eyes ! A Maserati on High Peak Autos - What a beautiful change, and 10/10 about life's philosophy Matt, people need to hear this more. Cheers

A great review, really enjoyed it! A hidden gem the Maserati, I would certainly consider now I’ve recently moved on my 640d gran coupe. Thank you, keep up the great work!!

One of my neighbours had the petrol version of this. He had it from new for a time, and then swapped it for a Merc soft-roader of some sort. I spoke to him about it, and he loved the Maserati, but said as soon as the warranty was up, he dropped it like a hot rock. I like this video because it gives a a good opportunity to put Matt right about something. I understand his spiel about enjoying life's pleasures. Life IS fleeting, and we must live it to the full while we can. When we are young, we take it for granted, then as we get older, we realise how precious it is, and look back on the things we could once do that now we can't. Where once illnesses were an inconvenience, in later life they become frightening. Nobody mocks an old man for having "man-flu" because that "man-flu" might kill him. Increasingly, the reports of people who die are about people a similar age or younger that you. One by one, you say a final farewell to life-long friends, and taste bittersweet irony as you consider whether you're luckier standing at the graveside than the guy in the coffin. To surmise, life is too short and precious to waste trying to keep a bloody Maserati running properly with everything working. Buy a 5-series in an unusual colour if you want something different.

Love the Maserati, I was quiet tempted by the ghibli as they were really reasonable priced and I think good looking cars.

I love your philosophy and urge you do do another channel on your outlook in life. I loved your quote “we are here for a good time not a long time”. Your videos are full of such nuggets and are precious as so many of us live a tough life mentally when some don’t give a crap. Teach us to live life as we could! Thanks for all your videos

Matt the philosopher! Love it. I shared this with a mate in Melbourne who really, really wants a Maserti, but the issue about balls is a real one for him. Well done, great genuine review

Yes matt I love the little drops of motivation and just talking sense in general. Very inspiring and unique

I seriously looked at one of these as they are beautiful to look at & ive always aspired to own a practical yet exotic car. The centre stack though just looks a bit too cheap and the V6 petrol just felt "heavy" to drive. Ended up buying a 2015 Audi S8. Stunning interior, rides well.and much quicker!

Perfect timing, I've been looking at Maseratis lately.

I like the way you talk about buying a car like this. You understand what it is to love cars and what they do inside your heart and soul.

Looks so much better than the predecessor. Relatively discrete too. With normal wheels and in an appropriate color a great buy!

Enjoyed that and as usual I’m homesick from the landscape in Derbyshire/Cheshire. If you get the opportunity try the Ghibli, which also comes with the diesel option. I’ve looked at these on Autotrader but stuck with a 911. By the way , at 70, I’m with you on the philosophical view of life - if not now when?

Matt I really liked the sentiment behind this video, and it was perfectly timed for me and really struck a chord. Thank you 👍

This really is a beautiful car, I bought my 5 series because of your review, now tempted with this 😊

What a car! The Italians know a bit about style, good advice too, life is short, take a chance once in a while!

As a Porsche, MG and Alfa owner, I’m up for a challenge. Love your work 👍

This is why I love watching your reviews, great life advise. Just go for it.

Brilliant video! Thank you as always :)

Love these...Need you to do the Ghilbi too dude... been genuinely thinking about one of these for a while now they are coming down in price... and diesel MPG sadly has to be a factor. 😬

Arguably………..my favourite car. But with a V8, and possibly an earlier one with a manual box. Glorious interiors, again, not so much that one since the Chrysler influence, but that V8 is one of the best sounding engines ever. Great video again 😀

I liked your review Matt, all the pitfalls and many big plus points regarding this beautiful car. Today you highlighted why we love cars and should love life. The car is but one of those element that should keeps the smile on our face. Nice one.

Great video Matt. Entertaining as usual. Here for a fun time not a long time makes you think😁👍

I felt the same about my XF which I got just over a year ago - no regrets and it's NEVER let me down (despite Jaguar's reputation for "unreliability"). Even drove to Venice and back from Manchester for our family holiday last August. And got admiring looks wherever we stopped on the continent.

I watched this video a few times, I always loved the Maserati brand. Your description and views made perfect sense to me. I bought a Quattroporte (same colour, same year as in this review today) today. I am looking forward to picking it up next week😎

Great review…even better life advice!! Love this. Thank you.

Most philosophical car review I have seen. Loved it!

Polo top for the review as well! Incredible looking car

For me the closest rival for the Maserati is the Jag XJ X351. Both underdogs but both beautiful. As an X351 owner I'm always blown away by the driving dynamics of such a big car. Does this drive as well?

Excellent content and commentary. Nailed it.

Spot on, pragmatic… love the summing up, so right 👍

Spot on ....... My dad wanted an M5 But couldn't do it, Retired and checked his pennies every day , him and mum were careful then he collapsed at 68 and never came back, Have what you want within reason and enjoy your life Great video Matt 👍👍👍

Great video, lovely looking car, would be interested in a comparison between the old shape (No diesel I know) think they look really special when you see one on the road they've aged really well👍

Thank u i enjoyed this video, appreciate the positive mindset content

You make some very good points and honest as ever👍

The turtle neck was 👌

Buy one if you don't mind becoming bankrupt. Crazy unreliable.

I do really do appreciate your reviews. So insightful. Genuine and funny. Before buying a car i always try to find your reviews. Well done and thank you, Earned my subscribe 👍

This was definitely an easier watch that swift (even tho that’s a different series) however such a good well rounded review for someone who’s after a saloon in that price bracket. Loved the advice at the end as well because my next car I’m hoping is something special lol.Skys the limit for you matt

Whatever the model, a diesel Maserati is plain *WRONG*.

Great vid as always. Lovely Maser.

Totally agree that is lovely looking car that will do wonders for your self esteem and sounds like you can run one without having to remortgage the house!! All that and some phillosphy on life thrown in - the scope of your channel just keeps increasing!

A very special review. You have nailed 'it'. The 'it' central to 'our ordinary folk dreams. You are a good salesman and also a very honest one.

Loved this review....great advice....Live for the moment

Superb video Matt - You always leave me smiling - keep it up!!!

Such a wise head on young shoulders, his experiences in life are reflected in his comments, I like him and love 99% of his videos, keep going Matt.

I’ve loved Maserati ever since my uncle had a Merak when I was a kid. I’ll have one some day no doubt and most probably a QP! Keep the videos coming!

I adore beige leather interiors with black/charcoal highlights and polished wood trim. Got me hooked the first second of this video. That interior is stunning!

Class review as always 👍🏼

A beauty. Totally agree with your views , as you say lifes too short not to enjoy what makes you happy. Nice one Matt.

Great video Matt. Agree with your comments as always. Nice car, looks stunning.

Always loved a "Masa" always way too scared to consider owning one,so thanks for your insight and encouragement. Now all I have to do is find one!! Great presentation.

. High Peak Philosophy & Autos Love it. Cheers from Oz.

love this review ....honest and real

Thanks for bringing this Maserati to us Matt, had forgotten all about this car, beautiful machine..

Beautiful car Matt enjoyed your content as always 👍

Loved the review, always look forward to a new review!😊

Great review!!!

Fantastic, you’ve persuaded me to want one now.

Gorgeous car, top review, spot on life advice 👍

I needed that good talking to!! Thanks for that!! I'm going for it before time runs out!! Which for me will be sooner rather than later 😳

I have to say I watch a lot of your videos,,, and you do standout cause you are the only one that gives a honest opinion real person perspective not just a load of guff and saying what you assume the public want to hear, fair dues to you

Bless !...brilliant video sir ..

Proper review,straight from the heart.a car should be thought through before purchase,but it is a massive outlay of money so buy what makes you feel special.if I had 300,000 to spend on a new house I'd always go for character over functionality buy what makes your heart sing and your legs dance sod convention...brilliant review by the way!

Brilliant boys, keep going

As always Matt, Another great video.. and I am Loving the New Philosophy portion. But we are only here once. ;)

Great review Matt. Nice to see a rare car being tested. I would buy one just to see that badge every morning going to work Alas my Transit will have to suffice 😁

Given a 👍 before even statting the video and damn I was right. Love Maserati, always loved them, and this video is no exception. Soecial thanks for the “we are here for a good time, not for a long time.” sentence. Absolutely true. Thank you for your work Matt! Cheers. (Btw I am a Lexus driver, not even some italian fan boy. I just appreciate rarity and style)

Cheers Matt! Love the life lessons in philosophy, makes me enjoy life better and take the plunge as you only live once :)

Watching from Ireland, great video Matt, thoroughly enjoyed it. Surprised you didn't mention the Aston Martin Rapide in your list of comparisons?

Philosophy over substance! Great review Matt 👏

Have just revisited this video for the umpteenth time... and I STILL drool over that car... magnifico!!!

Fantastic way of putting it. We are here for a good time.....and yes you are spot on, it is only for a short time. Blink and you'll miss the time. Great video.

Amecing review as always!!!

Great car great review well done Matt
