The new Ghiblis are super reliable, it was just the 2013 generation that had to be perfected...in 2021 they're relasing the Ghibli Trofeo, a 580hp beast.
My dad has a 2017 ghibli with gloss black wheels, (20 inch) red calipers, red interior, and pretty much maxed options, boy is it an exciting beast to ride in. But the cold start after some days is absolutely AMAZING
I think this is a pretty timeless design. I can see this still being a pretty modern and good looking car even in 10 years form now... however, reliability scares me.
If you get a car just to protect the image of being successful you failed miserably. Get the car because you want it, because you love the sound or the handling or something about it you can’t get anywhere else. In other words care what YOU think not what others think
A few corrections - 1. The suspension is the same as it was for my14, nothing changed. The car you're testing has some kind of aftermarket suspension as it's lowered. 2. The materials are the same as they were for my14, nothing changed. 3. The "comfort" seats are the same as they were for my14, nothing changed. They added a new type of optional "sport" seat, but the car you tested doesn't have them. 4. The "gap" in the door panels is there by design, Ferrari have them, Alfa Romeos have them, it's the way they design the doors, it's not a flaw. 5. The horrible wheel gap is another Italian "quirk". Look at a Ferrari. They do it for aerodynamic purposes. The problem with the Ghibli is that is VERY spec dependent. An entry level Ghibli simply can't compare to a fully decked out one with all options ticked (premium leather, alcantara, carbon, 21" rims), it's probably the car where you can see the biggest difference between specs. I don't think a car that's been out for 4 years it's "too new to tell if it's reliable or not". All the flaws have been addressed by the recall campaigns and the car itself proved to be very reliable; expensive to repair as any Italian, but reliable. Good review, tho.
I appreciate this review and response as I just purchased a 2014 s q4 loaded and I'm excited!.. im probably gonna do a review as well!!..fyi..I got it from a reliable source and it's been well kept and upgraded and spec'd well!
Maserati for sure. After driving and srt for years. And have drove in M’s and amg’s , the Mas is definitely the best all around car (except for mpg but who cares) i love it regardless of ppl always hating.
I have a 2015 Maserati , LOVE it. I got it used ' low miles' , And in great new condition. I have had it up to 170 MPH with 5 people in it. And flawless ride all the time. I do all my own work saving me 1000's. I have a friend with full Diagnostic's , and do my own Oil and filter changes, etc. It's actually an easy car to work on. ZERO Complaints from this Owner.
@@fnubcak I spent about $800 , but I change my oil at 4K , with an additive $20. and put about 1,200 miles on it every month. I order all filters off Amazon all original Ferrari parts. Coils and filters. Not including Coils they were $120 each. X 6 , I got 7 though.
I had a Maserati Ghibli 2014 and l change it with 2017 model it's totally different I hate the 2014 it has many problems but my new one amazing much better than the old one
@3165dwayne Nothing wrong with Chrysler, and Maserati still keep the design in 2019 now, also Gran Turismo still has the old school pixel digit center console system. You know why? So it separates the group of people are into digital cheap accessories like you, so Maserati also enjoy how people make fun of these little things because it is just fun to watch how group react. That's harsh and sad, so can I help you? Do you need a hand?
I had a Benz before my current Mas. Benz make great cars but the Mas is a totally different beast that seems to make driving a Benz feel quite sterile. I have a new love in my life, shes a 2019 Gransport Ghibli S. Used cars in Japan are usually really well kept and low mileage to buy, mine was almost mint, 12,000 miles on the clock, equivalent of $50,000. It’s just an amazing driving experience, even my wife now totally loves it after being shit scared of it at first!
Love my red 2015 Ghibli, all aspects, handling, comfortable seats, plenty of power, great looks, and oh the sound; constantly get comments and request to take a picture with it.
@@lufetm There are always those that enjoy the attention, but the same is true for Benz, Porsche etc. For me The best part of this car is the awesome AWD system, handling & solid confident feel even at 140MPH+. I love the way this car drives and that's really what Maserati values over lots of electronic features.
Great review. I totally agree about BMW, MB and Audi. Everyone has one !!! and in a few years they look dated. I would only consider this, a Porsche or Jaguar. In my other, more exclusive.
I own a Maserati SQ4 and i love it. People just have no idea until they own one. Haters and losers. I get so much attention while driving. Its fast, reliable, all wheel drive, exotic, amazing sound, red seats, great interior, etc.... just and outstanding car. My Maserati owners, don't listen to the junk you hear. Enjoy your baby. You know the haters wish they had it. :)
Great video brother. What you say is correct. I am a car guy who doesn't care about the flashing tech but the mechanics of a car. I drive a BMW 335xi 6 speed Manual Transmission, best 6 inline twin turbo out there, BUT I am dying for moving UP to a Maserati.
@@nicholasharford4982 I handed it in at the end of the 3-year lease this last July. I had zero issues with it. No rattles, no squeaks, no electronic glitches. One of the most reliable cars I ever owned.
This car is actually deceptively good for value if you decide to purchase it used. Because of the mostly negative reviews for the 2014 launch model and a general distrust among American consumers for Italian reliability, the depreciation on this car is insanely high. In 2022, I can get a used 2019 model (which is nearly identical to the 2022 model), with under 20 K miles for ~ 50K. Now consider a brand new C-Class optioned moderately would cost you 65K and that this car is actually somewhere in between an E and an S class in terms of size. Also it's considerably faster than the C-Class (or E-class). I believe real world tests are putting it at under 5 second 0-60, whereas the new C-Class is in the 6 second range. Not to mention the sound of that V6. Also don't forget this is a MASERATI. That name evokes a certain emotion that the german brands simply don't. Sure the interiors in the german cars are generally nicer looking (note: not nicer quality), the tech is generally more updated, and they are generally more reliable. But this car is pure emotion, passion, and excitement.
I actually really like the Ghibli... Hate how hard people bash it, it's actually a dumb nice car and fun to drive. Another car I would closely compare to the ghibli is the Alfa Romeo giulia quadrifoglio, which is also a very nice car.
Also, my wife has a Mercedes and has had them for several years. When I drive it, I see everyone with them. BMW same issue. Common everyday vehicles. I buy for individualism. I don't want to see my car at every corner. Also about quality, I broke down a few years ago and bought a Merc AMG SL series car. SL55 it was. Worst car ever. It was in the shop more than it was in the garage. Bad gas mileage, hard ride. Nice looking, prestigious, but wow it was a pitifully unreliable vehicle. Just visit ant Merc or BMW service department on any Monday morning, get a cup of coffee, and listen to everyone berate their service advisor about how tired they are of coming there. Dont hate, inform yourself. All of these so called exotics break and they rape you to fix them. Drive what you like, I dont care about your car, only mine. I have a 2015 Ghibli and it is great. Good gas mileage, daily driver that everyone loves the way it loos and sounds. Get up get a cup of Java, cruise in to work. Happy its mine, at least it comes home every night not the service department.
Looking at this video, makes me 100% sure that i will lease one 2019 next week. You got me bro with those words. Makes you different from the others, normal people. Thanks bro.
Damn this came right on time ! Been considering the 14 Ghibli , the 14 Quattroporte, or the 13 Panamera 4...so if you come across that Quattroporte PLEASE review it ! Currently rolling the 2011 Jaguar xf..hope to see y'all at Mod2fame fest bro!
The Quattroporte is just the long wheel base version of the Ghibli, they're basically the same car, not only they share all the internals, but they share almost all the interior and body panels as well. The differences between them, beside the small design ones and the rear legroom, is that the Quattroporte has more options as standard and you can also get it with a V8 engine.
Arty Eet Good looking out, thats actually one of my considerations I don't wanna loose my v8 in the Jag...was hoping the twin turbo would suffice. Gotta get out and do a test drive. Really want that Panny though, that interior got me bro !
Maserati Ghibli SQ4 is my favorite car that I’ve ever owned. My previous BMW and Mercedes were nice, no doubt, but didn’t bring me the pure joy of the Ghibli. It’s the perfect combination of elegance and sport in my opinion. The sound alone makes it addicting to drive. It’s funny how many people repeat the same hatred that they learned from Doug Demuro without ever personally experiencing this car. Name ANY car brand that doesn’t share parts. They ALL do lol. Even Bugatti, who is owned by Volkswagen. It’s just a dumb and tired argument. If you want to play with a computer while you’re trying to drive, stay with the Germans. If you want an unbelievable driving experience, get a Maserati.
This plays right into the fuck, marry, kill discussion. As 2018 euro sedans go in this catagory, I'd: Fuck the Maserati Marry the Benz Kill the bimmer. Meaning, I'd lease a Maserati for no longer than 18mos, buy the Benz, and skip the Bimmer. And this is based on resell value and reliability, not favoritism.
All the moronic haters here for one are most likely born in the 80s and 90s and are clueless about a classy and old proven car manufacturer as Maserati are. Secondly there is absolutely nothing wrong with the buttons and the feel of the interior is perfectly fine. I have driven and owned cars worth over 500.000 and seen far worse build quality etc. For those who love the 10 a penny German 3 and do not like FCA are the haters. If you like the common as muck BMW, MERC and AUDI’s then Maserati is too classy and intelligent for you to handle. I wish all these jealous wannabe couch potato critics would put up and shut up and enjoy appreciate the class that Maserati is and just enjoy your dull lame whatever cars that you own or drive and stop bitching because of the chip on your shoulder and following the idiot Doug D’s of this world as they are just Fake. Get a life haters get a life.
Lee Hayes I salute your statement, aside the age fact: they're probably young teenagers who aren't able to even apply for a driver's licence and only base their opinions on what they see online - videos do not justify what a car is like in real life! And I've been in a Ghibli myself and I can confirm that the interior is a lovely place to be. Heck, I'm only 18 and yet I indulge myself in rich car histories such as those from Maserati and Facel Vega. I completely understand the aura that Maserati represents, and the Ghibli is a lovely car which people are comparing it too much to incomparable cars.
Nahh man imma be real with you I have one and the buttons are pretty bad... the buttons for the sun roof and lights up top are melting for some reason and it’s not just the front dome light it’s the rears as well. The leather is peeling off 3 of the 4 doors even tho the car only has 20k miles. The cars been used like normal
Lee, Quattroporte M139 (produced from 2003 to 2012) is a great car, because it is based on Ferrari platform and really classy. But I can't tell the same about 6th generation (with except maybe of Quattroporte GTS) - it is a step back and Chrysler-bred abomination.
Why don't you shut up and do some research about why this car is the worst compared to its competitors? thanks for sharing the fact that you are intelligent enough to buy this overpriced piece of sht
Hey man! People hate this car because in 2014-15 these cars where admittedly a DISASTER... Especially since Doug Demuro TRASHED this car..... The later models are MUCH nicer and have resolved a ton of their previous issues.... 2017+ are not AS bad as they were...
The main reason people dislike Maserati is they sold out to FCA there quality went down there Engineering became poor, it has nothing to do with Doug Demuro It’s obvious your just a troll as you watch TH-cam to get info and it’s wrong 95% of the time
It’s small, overpriced and the feature availability is poor. The Levante is doing better. I did like the aggressive AWD. The new Maserati’s are nice cars but the prices are ridiculous. Considering a Ghibli outstickers a Hellcat...
I dont think its too small you just big as fuck Bigtruck, but really i agree its overpriced along with having almost no features. Plastic interior, Buttons and door controls from a dodge dart.(no too bad as alot of cars do this) Door gaps that put lincoln to shame. Rather buy a Alfa Romeo Stelvio.
Right , it’s so overpriced , the expensive maintenance and so less technology. U can see the C63s mercedes the same price Sq4 , but it is more faster , full super technology , and the most important is the V8 engine , not v6 like ghibli
It’s overpriced, and the features are lacking. They need better tech/lil widgets and small details to make it stand out. It need some features that most cars don’t have. Car looks great though I would definitely look nice In that
The Ghibli haters annoy me so much. They only exist online as keyboard rangers and do not exist in real life as you pick up buddies or a date or your family in your Ghibli
Timesplitter: hate, either online or in real life, is not good for your health. Much better to enjoy whatever you drive, and not fucking around other people's car. ;)
SO FAR SO GOOD,,, Playing with the stick shift,, up&down , fill like powerful car,, And shifting down help slow the car very well!!!!!!! AND GOING BACK AUTOMATICALLY-PERFECT I FOUND DRIVING ON A SPORTS MODE,,, SAVE GASOLINE!!???????,😊
Why so much hate on the Maserati the most hated always be the best either u guys cant afford it or just drive a Toyota Prius for a living living no real person with cash keep cars we buy them and put that pain in than upgrade
Agree with your review of the ghibili and i like the way this video was done. I would prefer this car over bmw and Mercedes. I think the look of the car is way cooler and unique. As of late i havent been feeling the designs of bmw and Mercedes Though the car doesn't have a lot of tech on it. I THINK that is a good thing because that is less stuff that you have to worry about being maintenance nightmare down the road. I dont even use lane departure whenver i have it. I just hope that since Chrysler/fiat own maserati that they don't turn this car into a piece of junk since all of their cars tend to be maintaince nightmares. All these high end cars are meant to be lease except lexus cause lexus cars tend to be the most reliable in high end department
Loved the video. I test drove a Ghibli S at the begging of 2018, its not a bad car by no means. If you were to consider the car by itself in a vacuum its fairly decent. I think, for me, the main issue comes when you compare it with the rest of the cars on it's price point. A Ghibli base starts at the same price point of a Guilia Quatrofollio...which is just a better car all around, that is not an opinion...that is a fact. Also, the BMW M3 starts 7k cheaper than the Maserati. Same with the AMG, starts cheaper and you get more technology, more power and so on. I would buy a Maserati Ghibli S, I would...I think it is a nice car for a daily driver but I would buy it used for 35k and I would add an extended warranty. At a starting price of 73k, it is simply the worse option in that price bracket by a long shot.
So what this dude basically is saying is that people buy this car mostly for the brand image (getting attentions from some people that doesn't have a clue about cars), and that's exactly what Doug Demuro's point is......
1-85k for a car that will lose half its value in 3 years. 2-cheap looking interior for 85k car. 3-expensive parts and maintenance. (500 oil changes) 4-I’ll take a Lexus gsF over this all day. 5- I can keep going but It’s waste of my time
Galaxy Transport buy a used one and it cost under 30k Basic interior but easy to fix and won’t cost u much if u hit the stereo shops It ain’t expensive to maintain, just plastic all over, go to mama papa shop and they will change it for 120 dollars plus reset the light yourself with OBD star x 200 Ps with that gsf no ones gonna give u second look but yes more reliable 5. Don’t be Doug
I don’t know what typa ghibli ppl bought because I have all the features that includes (paddle shifter, blind side monitor, censors that beep, sunroof etc ) plus caramel interior .... and may be u guys don’t know but u have to drive more than 10 miles a day and if u own one then make sure it ain’t sitting inside ur house for more than a week then yes u r gonna end up facing problem. Ps car doesn’t charge if u just leave it on U have to drive for half hour and above 30mph to get back to its performance if ur battery dies on u ... and if u wanna jump start make sure u hook battery with a car and front hooks with jump start devices to start it back up but give about 5 mins
I need to know about the rims. Where they 20 or 21 inch? What finish did you get done to them? What was the cost of getting the rims redone? I need this info as I have been run shopping for a while now. Thanks
Went for An Audi A6 Competition edition, way better option... supercharged V6, diamond stitch seats, a ton more features, red calipers, good engine response.
They HATE cause they CANNOT have it ! Works like this : when you don’t have a good car, oh it’s time to change and upgrade your car, well ... when you do change your car ..... ohhh how did he / she get that car? How he/ she is paying for it? How is he/she going to maintain it ? He/she should keep it simple ! So the list goes on and on and on .................. They are plenty brands , like colors as well , you can’t satisfy every person out there , a real friend / family member will be soooo happy when they see you happy !!! Bottom line is if you love it and like it , get it , buy it , lease it !!! Whatever works for you , the rest !!!! Fuck them all It happens to me in the past that’s why I don’t keep those kind of people around me !!!! Btm AWESOME CAR!!!!!!!!
I really don't get it, why do people have such bad things to say about maserati Ghibli. I've watched many car reviews tearing this car a part. Well I took out my buddy's 2017 Maserati Ghibli for a couple days and I can say, I really like the car. Check out the video and give me your opinion. REVIEW: A MODIFIED MASERATI LEVANTE Q4 th-cam.com/video/ux6tq502de0/w-d-xo.html
Fuck Demuro.. this car is lit..... it's basically half Ferrari... no Benz or bimmer can ever claim that..... EVER! A couple of the strengths the car has...1. 50/50 weight distribution 2. Same distributor for the leather and carbon fiber as Ferrari 3. Spec'd right (paddles, aluminum pedals, 21in wheels, two tone leather, Alcantara headliner, red calipers) looks absolutely stunning 4. Sounds freaking incredible. 5. The most aggressive awd system in a midsize car 6. It's an occasion ... from the sound, the big ass key, the low wide stance, the materials, it makes you feel special...I look forward to getting mine next month
Mod2Fame Vlog Great review and great car. I have a 2019 Gransport and love it. Looks great. Drives great. Sounds great. Far and away nicer than the Benz IMO.

Good gas mileage, daily driver that everyone loves the way it loos and sounds. Get up get a cup of Java, cruise in to work. Happy its mine, at least it comes home every night not the service department.
Do you still have your 2015?

Yes
Excellent review, I want one!
This is it first time watcher and you DEFINATLY got a new subscriber 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I had a 2015 and it was a head-turner but the quality was VERY LOW.
Looking at this video, makes me 100% sure that i will lease one 2019 next week. You got me bro with those words. Makes you different from the others, normal people. Thanks bro.
Love the video, but to be honest, I say do both. keep up the good work and congrats on the 20k!!!!
Thanks Mango
I've been watching for a while. I like this style of video outside of the performance based ones. It makes a good mix.
Thanks for sharing Robert
I like it better than BMW Audi and Benz out there
Damn this came right on time ! Been considering the 14 Ghibli , the 14 Quattroporte, or the 13 Panamera 4...so if you come across that Quattroporte PLEASE review it ! Currently rolling the 2011 Jaguar xf..hope to see y'all at Mod2fame fest bro!
The Quattroporte is just the long wheel base version of the Ghibli, they're basically the same car, not only they share all the internals, but they share almost all the interior and body panels as well. The differences between them, beside the small design ones and the rear legroom, is that the Quattroporte has more options as standard and you can also get it with a V8 engine.
Arty Eet Good looking out, thats actually one of my considerations I don't wanna loose my v8 in the Jag...was hoping the twin turbo would suffice. Gotta get out and do a test drive. Really want that Panny though, that interior got me bro !
I’m on the exact same page as you can’t decide between those 3. Have you bought anything yet?
I loooove my Maserati bro!!! Super nice great reliable car !! Love it
Definitely bring more review style content to the channel for sure!
Digging the format. 👌🏾
Very good review 🔥🔥 getting myn in 2 months can’t wait 😊
Maserati Ghibli SQ4 is my favorite car that I’ve ever owned. My previous BMW and Mercedes were nice, no doubt, but didn’t bring me the pure joy of the Ghibli. It’s the perfect combination of elegance and sport in my opinion. The sound alone makes it addicting to drive. It’s funny how many people repeat the same hatred that they learned from Doug Demuro without ever personally experiencing this car. Name ANY car brand that doesn’t share parts. They ALL do lol. Even Bugatti, who is owned by Volkswagen. It’s just a dumb and tired argument. If you want to play with a computer while you’re trying to drive, stay with the Germans. If you want an unbelievable driving experience, get a Maserati.
great feedback, thanks for sharing 💯💯
I just bought a black 2017 SQ4, out of warranty 😄🔱🇮🇹
This plays right into the fuck, marry, kill discussion.
As 2018 euro sedans go in this catagory, I'd:
Fuck the Maserati
Marry the Benz
Kill the bimmer.
Meaning, I'd lease a Maserati for no longer than 18mos, buy the Benz, and skip the Bimmer. And this is based on resell value and reliability, not favoritism.
Man O War great comment which is now pinned
Thanks for the review. I’m on the fence w/ a 2019-2020. But you hit some key points that I like.
All the moronic haters here for one are most likely born in the 80s and 90s and are clueless about a classy and old proven car manufacturer as Maserati are. Secondly there is absolutely nothing wrong with the buttons and the feel of the interior is perfectly fine. I have driven and owned cars worth over 500.000 and seen far worse build quality etc. For those who love the 10 a penny German 3 and do not like FCA are the haters. If you like the common as muck BMW, MERC and AUDI’s then Maserati is too classy and intelligent for you to handle.
I wish all these jealous wannabe couch potato critics would put up and shut up and enjoy appreciate the class that Maserati is and just enjoy your dull lame whatever cars that you own or drive and stop bitching because of the chip on your shoulder and following the idiot Doug D’s of this world as they are just Fake. Get a life haters get a life.
Lee Hayes I salute your statement, aside the age fact: they're probably young teenagers who aren't able to even apply for a driver's licence and only base their opinions on what they see online - videos do not justify what a car is like in real life! And I've been in a Ghibli myself and I can confirm that the interior is a lovely place to be.
Heck, I'm only 18 and yet I indulge myself in rich car histories such as those from Maserati and Facel Vega. I completely understand the aura that Maserati represents, and the Ghibli is a lovely car which people are comparing it too much to incomparable cars.
Nahh man imma be real with you I have one and the buttons are pretty bad... the buttons for the sun roof and lights up top are melting for some reason and it’s not just the front dome light it’s the rears as well. The leather is peeling off 3 of the 4 doors even tho the car only has 20k miles. The cars been used like normal
Lee, Quattroporte M139 (produced from 2003 to 2012) is a great car, because it is based on Ferrari platform and really classy. But I can't tell the same about 6th generation (with except maybe of Quattroporte GTS) - it is a step back and Chrysler-bred abomination.
Why don't you shut up and do some research about why this car is the worst compared to its competitors?
thanks for sharing the fact that you are intelligent enough to buy this overpriced piece of sht
@@Timesplitter888 If you don't like the car then why are you viewing this video and on here commenting? You have no intelligent answer I'm sure!
I will choose maserati, beautiful design and beautiful engine sound
love it. feels great to be the only masi for miles and miles
I like this videos better then just speed and drag racing
Hey man! People hate this car because in 2014-15 these cars where admittedly a DISASTER... Especially since Doug Demuro TRASHED this car..... The later models are MUCH nicer and have resolved a ton of their previous issues.... 2017+ are not AS bad as they were...
The main reason people dislike
Maserati is they sold out to FCA there quality went down there Engineering became poor, it has nothing to do with Doug Demuro
It’s obvious your just a troll as you watch TH-cam to get info and it’s wrong 95% of the time
People don't pay that much money for something "not as bad".
Great video!
Would you recommend buying a 2017 ghibli without a warranty but its only 23,500 miles? Thank you!
Porsche Panamera is the way to go. Greetings from Germany.
One ugly Porsche - might as well skip it and go to the 911
That’s one ugly car
@@ehteshamshaikh883 the new ones look better
Ian M new one looks sexy af
Maserati isnt on every street corner,the other cars are ten a penny now....I think the Ghibli has got better as time goes by.
Please don’t compare the Trident with the rest of normal brands!
🔱❤️
🇮🇹👌🏻💯 ITALIAN Cars are the best 💪🏻
Specifically what lowering springs are installed? Glad to see the FD spacers on a car too.. they look great
Love Masers. Doug Demouro is stupid, who buys a Maserati doesn’t care about cup holders, this is a driver’s car
Exactly
Everyone I know with ghibli regrets buying this overpriced shit
@@thatpersiandude7386 They must have a bad ghibli.
My dad has a s q4 and those feel good to go in. The people that bought maserati are poor?
ZirZamin production ! How many people exactly do you KNOW who actually own this vehicle??
This is why so many major companies invest majority of there cash into PR lol
Where Maseratis has built such a strong brand image
The only thing I didn’t expect is a black dude talking about a Maserati! You did an amazing job!
It’s small, overpriced and the feature availability is poor. The Levante is doing better.
I did like the aggressive AWD.
The new Maserati’s are nice cars but the prices are ridiculous.
Considering a Ghibli outstickers a Hellcat...
Truck I sent you a DM on IG, check it out
I dont think its too small you just big as fuck Bigtruck, but really i agree its overpriced along with having almost no features. Plastic interior, Buttons and door controls from a dodge dart.(no too bad as alot of cars do this) Door gaps that put lincoln to shame. Rather buy a Alfa Romeo Stelvio.
Right , it’s so overpriced , the expensive maintenance and so less technology. U can see the C63s mercedes the same price Sq4 , but it is more faster , full super technology , and the most important is the V8 engine , not v6 like ghibli
It’s overpriced, and the features are lacking. They need better tech/lil widgets and small details to make it stand out. It need some features that most cars don’t have. Car looks great though I would definitely look nice In that
It should out sticker the hell cat because its a Maserati not a Dodge.
The Ghibli haters annoy me so much. They only exist online as keyboard rangers and do not exist in real life as you pick up buddies or a date or your family in your Ghibli
Renegade Nielsen facts !!
I agree with u
So true!
I hate the ghibli in real life :)
Timesplitter: hate, either online or in real life, is not good for your health. Much better to enjoy whatever you drive, and not fucking around other people's car. ;)
I'm trying to review one myself. As a used car it seems very tempting...
stick to the guidelines in this vid as far as year and warranty and ur good
Good one Steph! Nice format
Great video... Can you guys show some details of the headlight and taillight tint you did? Looks nice.
Lambo lunch right thur bring it to mod2fame fest 👍🏽😁
lambo? this car is lunch for a lot of cars in the 35-45k range 🤣
Im gonna go for a 2018 when im done paying off my benz in a year.. Plus i figured price would drop a few thousand.. ..
SO FAR SO GOOD,,,
Playing with the stick shift,, up&down , fill like powerful car,,
And shifting down help slow the car very well!!!!!!! AND GOING BACK AUTOMATICALLY-PERFECT
I FOUND DRIVING ON A SPORTS MODE,,, SAVE GASOLINE!!???????,😊
Mine has 471bhp w/JB4 tune, Ferrada F5FR8 Graphite w/gloss red caps. F1 LED steering wheel. Custom DIY Carbon intercooler ducts
My first time hearing this guy review. Good, clear objective review.
Why so much hate on the Maserati the most hated always be the best either u guys cant afford it or just drive a Toyota Prius for a living living no real person with cash keep cars we buy them and put that pain in than upgrade
I have Maserati Quattroporte M139 which is great car and I hate this Chryslerati abomination.
Agree with your review of the ghibili and i like the way this video was done.
I would prefer this car over bmw and Mercedes. I think the look of the car is way cooler and unique. As of late i havent been feeling the designs of bmw and Mercedes
Though the car doesn't have a lot of tech on it. I THINK that is a good thing because that is less stuff that you have to worry about being maintenance nightmare down the road. I dont even use lane departure whenver i have it.
I just hope that since Chrysler/fiat own maserati that they don't turn this car into a piece of junk since all of their cars tend to be maintaince nightmares.
All these high end cars are meant to be lease except lexus cause lexus cars tend to be the most reliable in high end department
I would definitely lease this car that’s for sure…
Loved the video.
I test drove a Ghibli S at the begging of 2018, its not a bad car by no means. If you were to consider the car by itself in a vacuum its fairly decent. I think, for me, the main issue comes when you compare it with the rest of the cars on it's price point. A Ghibli base starts at the same price point of a Guilia Quatrofollio...which is just a better car all around, that is not an opinion...that is a fact. Also, the BMW M3 starts 7k cheaper than the Maserati. Same with the AMG, starts cheaper and you get more technology, more power and so on.
I would buy a Maserati Ghibli S, I would...I think it is a nice car for a daily driver but I would buy it used for 35k and I would add an extended warranty. At a starting price of 73k, it is simply the worse option in that price bracket by a long shot.
karieltheone a
Very well done bro ... appreciate you
I love alfas and Mazis
I take that over bimmer all day
Can’t wait to buy my ghibli tbhh. Imma build it a little.
So what this dude basically is saying is that people buy this car mostly for the brand image (getting attentions from some people that doesn't have a clue about cars), and that's exactly what Doug Demuro's point is......
Timesplitter Doug is clueless. He has no points.
@@MM-fp3zb explain
Liked what you said in the style that you told the story. What about 2020? Does it even have a camera?
back up camera is now federally mandated on all new cars in the US so yeah
Bro, when you review a car you gotta open the hood and the Trunk Show the whole car.
u right but issa v6 no one cares to see that mess
Made me feel way better about mines lol great video was entertaining for sure !
Im so close to making a deal on a ghibli 2017 , reviews are scaring me and also hyping me up .. anways hows it been for you? Any problems with yours
@@jurgendani1191 did you get the car yet?
1-85k for a car that will lose half its value in 3 years.
2-cheap looking interior for 85k car.
3-expensive parts and maintenance. (500 oil changes)
4-I’ll take a Lexus gsF over this all day.
5- I can keep going but It’s waste of my time
Galaxy Transport buy a used one and it cost under 30k
Basic interior but easy to fix and won’t cost u much if u hit the stereo shops
It ain’t expensive to maintain, just plastic all over, go to mama papa shop and they will change it for 120 dollars plus reset the light yourself with OBD star x 200
Ps with that gsf no ones gonna give u second look but yes more reliable
5. Don’t be Doug
do you think its worth buying a used 2017 Ghibli sq4 for 35k? might get it
Tough call, maybe I'd do it on full factory warranty
Mod2Fame Vlog ah gotcha thank you
I got a 2016 ghibli and i love it
What mods does this car have done to it? looks like suspension and wheels possibly?
I don’t know what typa ghibli ppl bought because I have all the features that includes (paddle shifter, blind side monitor, censors that beep, sunroof etc ) plus caramel interior .... and may be u guys don’t know but u have to drive more than 10 miles a day and if u own one then make sure it ain’t sitting inside ur house for more than a week then yes u r gonna end up facing problem. Ps car doesn’t charge if u just leave it on U have to drive for half hour and above 30mph to get back to its performance if ur battery dies on u ... and if u wanna jump start make sure u hook battery with a car and front hooks with jump start devices to start it back up but give about 5 mins
Your not making my choice easy .... lol thank you for the video
I need to know about the rims. Where they 20 or 21 inch? What finish did you get done to them? What was the cost of getting the rims redone? I need this info as I have been run shopping for a while now.
Thanks
Wheels are 20inch and the color is Gloss Black...... Look up Proformance Industries New Rochelle..... they did the work
Very nice review
Went for An Audi A6 Competition edition, way better option... supercharged V6, diamond stitch seats, a ton more features, red calipers, good engine response.
But it ain't a Maserati lol
Boring
Can You tell me where can i find this Trunk Spoiler looks clean also what suspensions are those ? Thank You..
I didn't understand. Did you change the Dodge Challenger for the Maserati?
How much did you have to gas him up on his car for him to handover the keys 🤣🤣
They HATE cause they CANNOT have it !
Works like this : when you don’t have a good car, oh it’s time to change and upgrade your car, well ... when you do change your car ..... ohhh how did he / she get that car?
How he/ she is paying for it?
How is he/she going to maintain it ?
He/she should keep it simple !
So the list goes on and on and on ..................
They are plenty brands , like colors as well , you can’t satisfy every person out there , a real friend / family member will be soooo happy when they see you happy !!!
Bottom line is if you love it and like it , get it , buy it , lease it !!! Whatever works for you , the rest !!!! Fuck them all
It happens to me in the past that’s why I don’t keep those kind of people around me !!!!
Btm AWESOME CAR!!!!!!!!
gud break down
I really don't get it, why do people have such bad things to say about maserati Ghibli. I've watched many car reviews tearing this car a part. Well I took out my buddy's 2017 Maserati Ghibli for a couple days and I can say, I really like the car. Check out the video and give me your opinion.
REVIEW: A MODIFIED MASERATI LEVANTE Q4 th-cam.com/video/ux6tq502de0/w-d-xo.html
Fuck Demuro.. this car is lit..... it's basically half Ferrari... no Benz or bimmer can ever claim that..... EVER! A couple of the strengths the car has...1. 50/50 weight distribution 2. Same distributor for the leather and carbon fiber as Ferrari 3. Spec'd right (paddles, aluminum pedals, 21in wheels, two tone leather, Alcantara headliner, red calipers) looks absolutely stunning 4. Sounds freaking incredible. 5. The most aggressive awd system in a midsize car 6. It's an occasion ... from the sound, the big ass key, the low wide stance, the materials, it makes you feel special...I look forward to getting mine next month
there are many better options than this for $80000, pretty much all of its competitors beats the ghibli.
Mod2Fame Vlog Great review and great car. I have a 2019 Gransport and love it. Looks great. Drives great. Sounds great. Far and away nicer than the Benz IMO.
I like to test drive the jaguar f_type 2017 .... oooh 😯 sweet baaaaby Jesus !!! What a engine that is too good to be true ....
