You get an INSANELY better interior, powertrain and ownership at a lower price by going with a Macan or Cayenne GTS. You would have to be nuts to purchase a Maserati.
Guys the quality of the leather on the Maserati is way better than the one in the BMW! Like the carbon and the wood. You doesn’t have a full screen on the speedometer but hands are awesome to see and you have a car with a lot of personality and a damn good chassis and suspension. Let’s get informed before talking, this is an incredible car
@skidhvh I'd lease for 42 months. Everything is trash after the warranty anyway. Drive it like u stole it and return it for 75k with the confidence of knowing they will repair it. Let them plate it and pay personal property tax.
Exterior looks nice, especially in that color. Seats look nice also. I would prefer a nicer looking steering wheel, dash, and the design of the infotainment screen
I drove a Maserati ghibli (cheapest model it was around 88k I think) back in 2014 for a few weeks. I hated it, felt terrible and the interior felt/looked soooo cheap. It’s 2020 and that hasn’t changed by the look of it.
I wonder what the hell qualifies as a budget sedan for you. Sure, the Maserati is overpriced, but still, most true "budget sedans" are lucky enough to get leather seats...
@@AlfaRomeoQ it looks likes my dads decked out Nissan Murano, not cheap but not as expensive as this. By decked out I mean it has all included not mods or anything
Imagine buying this car just for it to be worthless in a year or 2, it will more than likely break making the Porsche a much better buy. Also, that interior is not great at all for the price looks to Chrysler which is the problem and everyone knows their absolute junkers. But it looks like a fun car to drive if it is a lease.
My point is they might be fun and sound amazing but the price is hard to justify for the type of interior you get. Also depreciation is such a big factor when you factor in ownership cost. If I am spending over 100k I want something that might hold some value 4 to 5 years down the road.
I bought a Levante sq4. Test drove also the following: glc 43 amg coupe, Macan gts techart, cayenne gts. My last 2 cars were Mercedes and often broke down. Porsche and Mercedes has nice interior but the Maserati felt quite special to me- to anybody criticizing this car please go to a Maserati dealership and talk to the staff and take one for a spin. It may has no ambient lights or a full digital instrument cluster but it is one of the few modern cars that have some soul in it. Btw rn they ware stopped producing and the new model will be electrified. They won’t get cheaper than now :-)
@@DefineScrib reread the comment. "Almost" and "some" are important words there. You cant find a new x3m for that much but you can find a sq5 for like 55k
Amazing how Maserati can make that V8 sing! So what if it has uConnect infotainment?! I’m in it for the driving experience. I’d definitely rock one of these over an X5M or GLE63.
i would love to work at an auto garage, id see cars come in like this everyday, fix them, after fixing them seeing them come back in a month for another problem
I kinda like the fact it has a simple interior, now of course it would be nice if it's not a Chrysler parts bin but with every modern luxury car looking like a strip club inside I appreciate the simplicity of the levante.
Next gen charger and challenger will be heavily engineered by Maserati and Alfa. Will ride on the new Alfa platform and most likely share similar drivetrain. We shall see how things go
Man, such a great car. Was about to buy one for $45,000 and was on dealer's Web site. Then I started watching this video and when this video ended car's price was down to $40,000. I saw that as a red flag and didn't pull the trigger.
Italians know how to design beautiful car interiors (and exteriors btw) like no other. Everything is gorgeous, every small detail. It's a pitty they are not up to par in other things then...like electronics, reliability etc For example the infotainment system looks like crap compared with today's german offers...
my problem (if you could call it that) with these maserati cars has always been that the interiors are just not quality enough for the price point. infotainment screens, the colours, some of the touch points are not upto the standards of what they're charging for it. not that i could afford one anyway, but its just a shame knowing these cars could be so much better.
I just came to this video after watching your Lincoln Aviator vid. This interior of this Maserati doesn't look nearly as nice as the Aviator. Still a dope car lol
Just watched your video of the 370z Nismo. I think you would really enjoy the 2013+ Genesis Coupe 3.8L V6 as it has a Track package that makes it very competitive with the Nismo. I would really love to see you do a video on it if you get/have to opportunity. Keep up the good work!
Here in Seattle there are a lot of this Trofeos and as an Italian I want one so bad!!!! Anyway I think I'm gonna buy a small cabin in Maine or anywhere in New England, man these scenarios and roads are phenomenal!
Beautiful simplicity, instead of being unscrupulous and thoroughly modern they remain a half a generation behind as far as infotainment and powertrain/safety fuel economy tech. This is OK and always will be because the genius is in its mediterranean spice it keeps the soul thin and the heart pumping. The sound the feel the look the smell. The name, the presence it all exudes a certain style that is absolute. The final word. Accepted and loved by ALL people. Even non-petrol heads. The mastery of the cool factor, the art element is untouched by competition. Only the Italians know this area so well. This is why the biggest wealthiest most influential German automaker - VW group - chose to sustain lamborghini ducati amidst the great recession in the ‘00s-‘early 10s AND their dieselgate scandal to boot the people considered the most logical pragmatic, efficient and industrial in their automotive creations lovers of the fwd Biased sport luxury awd cars with uniform design throughout the model range.. they chose to work with the most batshit insane automotive and motorcycle manufacturers when they were known for being dangerous, risqué, hard to work with and the opposite of budget conscious to a fault. Why? Because even VW group KNEW that the automotive/motorcycling world is an infinitely better place with the italians playing ball, the inventor of the supercar, the naked bike, the countach which somehow has to be mentioned alongside cocaine, miami vice, bedroom posters, 80s, the definitive supercar, cocaine and drug money. Anyway, even the germans knew that there will always be a place for italian auto makers. They may cheat in the racing leagues but not everyone can pen a design using heart strings. So they will always stay thank god for that. I want the new Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio more than any other SUV; except maybe this one ;) but that stelvio is just beautiful.
