I am a HUGE Maserati fan. This is not a super car, nor is it a drag car or an auto cross car. What it is, is a very good GT car…capable of maintain very high speeds for long periods of time. Maserati is very misunderstood….if you want perfection…buy German. I’ve had my GranSport, predecessor to this since 2007 with several modifications done to it. The majority of people buy these cars to be flashy, drive it into the ground and then sell it and complain what a shitty car it is. If you’re one of the few who actually like this brand, who understand this brand and can appreciate what this car will be in the future…you’re in good shape. The car is very fast for its weight, horsepower and what it is. Considering this engine is only 4.2/4.7 liters, its output is pretty impressive. I’m not hating on anyone at all…but just wish people would actually drive one in real life and understand it better. I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe.
I really apreciate the time you took for this comment! I also apreciate Maserati a lot and really Like their cars. But the problem they have is that they Look absolutley beautiful so just as you said it, Some stupid people buy them too Look Flashy and drag they cars Name through the mud because they never maintained it... This is why it's pretty difficult to buy a great used one. Just the previous owners for the most part... I defineteley get you point with the GT car! I also called it one at Some point in that Video. But I feel Like it also has supercar DNA too with it's awsome Performance. Factually, it's a GT car, you are right of course! But it deserves to be called more sometimes. I do for the most Part understand Maserati as a Brand and what they stand for and really like them for that. They build These very powerful and beautiful cars but struggle with their Reputation because the owners don't take care of their cars. I have hope for their future models though! They might Do it Like Alfa Romeo and build Reliable V6s, which would be great! Congrats to your Maserati and doing the maintnance to keep it that long! I hope you enjoy it! What kind of mods have you done btw? I have no Real idea how gar you might have taken it haha
They really are amazing and very capable! But tbh, I don't think most people would buy it as an investment but to enjoy it. This is what I understand Maserati being about. Appreceating the beauty and Power of the cars, driving and loving them but needing to Look for them in terms of maintnance.
Owned a 2017 Ghibli S for nearly the last 2 years and just purchased a 2018 Maserati Granturismo Sport and I absolutely love it. Drove it around in Sarasota Florida for nearly a week during vacation and waiting on them to ship it home for me. Yeah I could've purchased an Aston Martin, a first gen v8 r8 (stupid to get the v8 imo), and plenty of other options but the swagger, sound, and the speed is what does it for me. Yeah the cars heavy but it's still no slouch. If you want something insanely reliable get a toyota. If you take care of your Maserati properly you'll be fine regardless.
I'm a little jalous you get to own multiple newer Maseratis haha (V8 R8 is really meh) You are pretty much the perfect Maserati owner! You have a love for them and like you said, you know what you get into when buying one. I'm pretty happy for you and that you get to enjoy These cars and apreciate them! Do you mind asking how much Was the maintnance on the Ghibli was?
@@MrPista I worked hard for them man just turned 24 last month, that being said I appreciate the heritage behind them and overall just love the cars swagger. Car gets a lot of looks and stands out, I just like being different. The maintenance on the Ghibli was pretty pricey, if I remember correctly it was close to $400 for an oil change but that was really the only thing I had done at the dealership. Never had to change the breakpads(probably will need to be changed in the next 3 months or so but I'm saying goodbye in less than a week). For what it is the Ghibli was a blast to drive but it doesn't compare to the GT in my eyes. End of the day the car was a blast and I'm sad to see it go. I considered keeping both but I still live with my parents and don't have room in the garage for it+it'll just depreciate anyways.
@@andrewfakelove3789 that Story is very impressive! Many people at 24 already fucked up their life and never considered to get on the Grind Like you. You defineteley have my respect for All of that. Standing out in a good way is sth i Like too, if it's not too haha Being Like everyone is boring. Maserati uses special oil that is just more expensive so it's a little annoying i guess Selling the Ghibli, even though you will miss it for sure, is probably a good choice becauese a GT is even more excyting. And keeping both of them would be amazing, Yeah. But it would be too much to Look after them as perfectly as you Do Living with your Patents at 24 is sth pretty cool as you aren't really lazy and make good money! As long as you get along together and the Space is there (even if for just one Maserati) it's cheaper than an own apartment and nice becauese your parents always love you. I would expect them to be rather proud of you brother 🤝
I've owned 4 Maseratis including 2 GranTurismo Ss (Cabrio and Coupé) - all my Maseratis have been rock solid reliability-wise. On a long trip I've even averaged 23 mpg at 80 mph! A steal at current prices for a low mileage well kept examples. Keep in mind - Maserati won the Indy500 *before* Ferrari even existed! (1939 and 1940) You don't win races without finishing them first aka as reliability. I always hear that BS from people who have never owned one. Please, if you've never owned one, shut up, you don't know what you're talking about. The Ferrari built V8s are now gone, I suggest picking one up before prices start to climb. They are very nice GT cars, not all out track cars, but very sublime exotics for a distinguished automotive palate.
The first thing I want to say is that I really apreciate this Comment and the time u spent writing it! I'm happy for you that you had such great experiences with All of those 4 cars you mentioned, but not everyones Maserati does so Well... Two of my neighbors for example owned Levantes but I think V6s and they got rid of them because of the high maintnance. They weren't that Reliable and spend a lot of time in shops. Yeah, their racing history is very impressive for shure but back then they were a Brand for themselves. Now they are Part of Stellantis and they aren't really know for Reliable cars. They are cool cars for sure but quite a few people had Bad experiences. Not all for sure but enough for that Bad depreciation
@@MrPista Just in case you missed it... Stellantis's ALFA just won JD Power's Best Initial Quality for ALFA! So, hang on to that opinion before you eat your words! 🙂 Change is in the winds... peace
@@andybroer651 I actually didn't know about that, but I Like the direction they are going in that paßt few years. Especially in terms of Design But even though Alfa is doing good rn, Fiat, Jeep or Dodge Do still struggle with reliability in quite a few cases. Sure, in a lot of them the owners are at fault for not doing basic maintnance. But there still are a good amount of them blamable on the cars Also the bulild quality is not as good as with VW or BMWs with especially those 3 Brands. But even if it's getting better for Like 2 or 3 years whatever, most cars are a few years older and can still have Some bad issues
@@MrPista the v6s are reliable. we own the quattroporte v6 and its pushing very well. Its either they dont maintain their car well, or rev it in the cold. These cars are not ment to be overdue so long for oil changes. These cars need oil quick as they are almost like supercar engines.
Posseggo un mc stradale 2015 va benissimo nessun problema ho fatto 50.000 km é solo tagliandi standard…. Agilità assurda per un auto da 2 tonnellate bellissima e sound da pelle d oca ancora oggi.
They still look awsome, that's the only reason, realiability may be an issue but it depends a lot the use that is given to them imho, i have an alfa romeo i know from experience
That just is the experience of an Italian car haha Special, fun, beautiful and sometimes a headache They really need more love and Service What kind of alfa Do you have btw?
@@MrPista Yes it is, i was adviced before buying... Yes all those four, but my almost 14year of experience i did has major headache, despite some battery or minimal eletrical issues.

@@aryanalfa2444 It needs Some love to own an Italian car and i think yours Gets it🗿 Doesn't Sound too Bad overall! I feared for more troubles I Like those MiTos actually. They Look Kind of elegant, are practical and comoact so I think you did a good choice there bro
@aryanalfa2444 damn italian cars always have a lot of electricalissues from what i have seen in forums have you ever considered a 4c or a quadrifoglio i heard the quadrifoglio is more fun than a m4 but less reliable
@@beam.studios Yes that's true, i been experienced a fair share of them, but it wasn't so bad has many people would say.

Your talking about the Giulia Quadrifoglio, yes i am sure it is, if there is a quality that alfa has is that their cars are usualy more fun to drive than the concurrence i still enjoy driving mine
Hey there, been a while its josh i used to comment on your videos now i just started to make my own channel but its a lot of work ngl.i always loved the maserati granturismo i would compare them to something like a ferrari Californias as u know they have the ferrari v8 but ye reliability i think is based on luck its better to investigate deep befr u buy one,but this car is in my bucket list so timeless i love it in yellow with the mc stradale trim

And I told you it would not be easy but it Gets better over time doing Videos haha
@@beam.studios 20k miles is pretty low... It would actually make sence to buy one over 50 or 70 becauese that would mean the owner drove and maintained it rather well That would also be a lot cheaper
@teenagecarguymind thats an interesting opinion i always thought low mileage> is better with sports cars as owners tend to abuse them and old cars with less miles are usually owned by some tech guy or old people so i kinda trust them more but your opinion makes sense too
