I actually kind of like how the general public...on average...has a ton of negative comments to say about this car. Every video and review i have read is filled with haters on this car in the comment section...why do i like this?

Then i will be able to get one soon and waive to the haters as i roll by in my quad exhaust maserati on 21s!
Renaldo Nelson Maserati in general have an extremely high depreciation rate. Basically, it is a high maintenance vehicle. The car once a few years old is accessible to the average working man. Yes the car is affordable. But can the average Joe afford the maintenance......
Your day is here man. I am looking at this page because im debating on buying one for under 30k, but wondering if I should go with Audi S4 instead because man do people slam this car and make it sound unreliable and expensive to maintain.
So with it having power adjustable pedals, would say a 6 ft person be able to move the pedals all the way back that way he'd be able to keep his seat up a reasonable distance for a person in the back?
contractki11er Sucks no one responded, but power adjustable pedals are usually exclusively for moving them closer to you. So a shorter driver sits further away from the airbag in a better/safer position. "All the way back" with power pedals is the same as fixed pedals.
@@chainfreelife6733 Some people are just brand snobs. They don't like it if something resembles cheaper cars even though the quality might be good enough.
My former car was a BMW 4series cabrio... only 1 and half years old... a wonderful car without any doubt... but nothing to compare by my Maserati... the feeling.. the quality.. the excitement... the exclusivity... my BMW didn't gave me those feelings.

The granturismo still holds it's reign, the amount of Ghinli's I have seen on the street in my area is ridiculous. If you want a unique Maserati with the equality of the Ghibli S Q4 performance, the Granturismo is the way to go
Renaldo Nelson They aren't THAT critical. Although if you did care about those things as much as it sounds like you do , this car is so incredibly beat.
I drive one... each and every day and I can say... its an AMAZING car. I never will change anymore and I've driven Mercedes, BMW and Audi before. Maserati is breath-taking!!!!
I quite like this thing but it has one big problem. It's the same problem that the Rolls Royce Ghost struggles with. The only reason you'd buy a Ghibli is that you couldn't afford a Quattroporte.
William M You consider mileage and insurance when you buy a Maserati? You're right though, there is something with the way the Quattroporte looks. The old one was definately better looking. But it is still miles better looking than the Panamera, that thing is so nasty it makes your eyes bleed. I don't know about the Granturismo, It's good looking but its bottom isn't. No I'd either have the Ghibli or the old Quattroporte GTS.
dang the only reason ud buy a cla is because u cant afford a c class. only reason you bought a 5 series is because you couldnt afford a 7 series. only reason you bought a base kia optima is because you couldnt afford a cadenza. dude u can say that about ANY car manufacture.
That infotainment system has no place in a car of this caliber. It looks cheap and the design of the OS is something that you get in a car less than 1/4 of it's value. Open an Audi, or a BMW review and take a look of what a 60k+ German car infotainment system looks like. Apart from that, it looks great.
+Wael Al-Zubieri Have to disagree with you, german systems exist in their whole lineup range and are almost all the same unless higher models are packaged with things the lower ones aren't. A4 has the same thing as an A8. 3 series? same as a 760LI with IDrive. this goes for most car brands though.
no one uses the knobs on the radio, they control volume and station with their hands on the wheel. and I've never used my cd player. stereo stays off most times and i listen to this symphony from exhaust. intoxicating. The key is a statement when you put that sucker on the counter. its all about experience with this car.
+Alumnikiid BMW 550 xDRIVE HAS 445 horse power and about the same lb of torque, similar price and probably better warranty, rear leg room is bigger than this and that v8 pulls hard.

I just dont like Cadillac. They don't hold their value either and the new CTS is actually just as expensive as the German cars now which means there is no point in buying one anymore
Nice looking car, but since it is the first generation for Ghibli, I would skip it and skip its facelift. . . why? Because it is the worst in its category.
fair enough but i wouldnt ignore Maserati as a whole, they only evolving as a luxury brand, give it some time. Its the same with Porsche a long time ago with their Cayenne SUV
i would pay for that exhaust, that engine and the design... that interior is shit... come on do something maserati... i would still buy the car if i could lol soo sexy looking and sounding

Imagine a contemporary road tester of a 1965 Jaguar XKE complaining about how the radio light is insufficiently lit...what a pu$$y comment. Now, their defense may be is that this car sells to younger people who are "very into technology", and my response is, except for some aberrations, no young person can afford this car.

this car is gorgeous and with that red interior man ..
That dodge dart comparison made me fall of my chair!
Audi use items of VW.... Like every other brand! Does a button says something about the car?
More sensors means more repairs. I like how the Maserati focuses on making nice engines
They don’t even make their engines.
God, I love Maserati
You're a moron
I think it's better to have another manufacturer's proven Infotainment system rather than creating a half-ass POS in-house one..
Couldnt have said it better... haha
I totally agree
This is a hot looking car.
Nice car!.. That exhaust!!!!
There is one question, is it reliable or will it cost a arm and leg anytime it due for service?
6:05, a mpg of 12.9... good job maerati... are you sure you did put turbo into the car?
The price for the B&W sound system is ridiculous

Yes he have!

That engine alone would convince me. However, you've got to admit that the interior does not look good.
EXACTLY
Like bmw haters? Luv my beemer
77k and rain sensing wipers aren't standard?
are Maseratis more reliable now?
Yes. Worth the money. But only 2021 and up. Nothing below.

The ghibli is 4 dors, gran turismo is 2 dors. They're completly differt cars. I think the ghibli s is the best 4 dors car after the Ferrari ff.
you don't buy a maserati because of its infotainment system...
+Elliot James you also don't check out CNET reviews without considering infotainment systems
You also dont buy a Maserati with Dodge parts
Is it made by ferrari
The engine is made by Ferrari, but the technology is from Chrysler
Dodge dart lay out
@@PreetSingh-ji7ey Exactly, Dodge uses Chrysler's technology, because they are owned by Chrysler and so is Maserati
6feet tall normal height!?
well 5'10 is average so i think they meant its a common height
How does it steer like? My friend said its steers like an audi, just a lot worse.
Many reviews say that for a hydraulic power steering unit, it doesn't feel as communicative as it should.
90k $ only for the name and engine, the rest is worthless.
So looks dont factor in for you as well? Road presence? The exhaust sound and adjustable sport exhaust is also worthless to you?
Renaldo Nelson They aren't THAT critical. Although if you did care about those things as much as it sounds like you do , this car is so incredibly beat.
These are now used for about $30,000. Worth it.

Why is Mr. Cooley recommending all of these features to make it "CNET Style," while simultaneously saying they're not worth getting? Huh?

Maserati should make a extended wheelbase of this car, so people could actually fit on the back seats
***** Or... for the price you would have to pay for the extended version... get a Quattroporte.
I didn't bought the Maserati for my back seat passengers.... they can feel themselves lucky for being a passenger in a Maserati I suppose...
of course you are not going to fir if the seat is all the way back...
The car is great but the back just looks like they got lazy.
I think it's fine. However when you are used to Subaru STI and how hideous the rear ends always are you find it attractive.
badass car
very nice car
Audi-like engine??? What??? which one???
The ghibli uses Chrysler parts, so it makes it feel "less luxury"
The only Chrysler it really has is the nav system. Transmission is ZF, Ferrari engine and a Mercedes E Class chassis.
+MrLalasd The whole interior is chrysler
Why not just buy an M5...more power and rear legroom...might not be as prestige as ths car but i feel like i would get more car for the same price
