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!
Maserati will do that to you :))
Oh thank you
I was thinking the same thing!
Matt, what was really engaging about this piece was not only the intelligent and well observed comments about the car, but it resonated on a deeper level without being pretentious or cliched. You really are one of the best out there. You’re now working at a different level to the wannabes who just want exposure. A genuine piece of work. Again, thank you.
@@rorywilson462 I appreciate that. I just try to give my honest thoughts and Advice. There’s no ulterior motive.
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!
I’ll have to get hold of one for a video
The Italian designers are always leaps and bounds ahead of the pack, the Germans know it, the French know it and the British know it. :)
Hey Albert, Bmw is Not better. I have/had around 8 Maserati's over the years
@@HighPeakAutos .Albert.....hint hint ;)
@@sainta2667 How many BMWs did you own?
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.
Well done!
you are just showing off, because you have the Cahunas to actually go out and spend your money on one. I'm still trying to convince my wife that it is an investment ;-)
@JTRCT I got rid of mine (wife that is) and believe me I get a great deal more pleasure from the car 😉😁
A much better choice, at least you can get the OE maintenance computer, which is basically unavailable for the Maserati....
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😊😊
I agree. It’s annoying. Most people are frightened of their own shadow
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.
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.
A Maserati should NEVER be a diesel now should it ? Shudder 😯🙄
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.
Love your honest no nonsense auto reviews, great vid on a beautiful car
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 👊🏻
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.
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
Great review Matt. We are here for good time not a long time! Bang on!
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 😂😂
I finally got that maserati review I’ve been pestering for 🤣. Hope you enjoyed it!
Fantastic review. Keeping it real and spouting words of wisdom 👏
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!!
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! 👏🏻
Did you also consider/test drive any rivals to the Gran Coupe such as the Mercedes CLS etc? If so, how did they compare?
And how often do you see a Maserati?
@@henrygarley1595 haha, every day as there’s a guy in our street with one. Still prefer the BMW although I’ve swapped to a 435d Gran Coupe now and also very pleased with it
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.
Couldn't agree more!
I have a 2004 Cadillac CTS with a v6 gas engine, it's surprisingly economical and way more than the v8 CTS V
But if you commute with lots of traffic lights and stops driving these cars is a waste of money imo, you don't get to appreciate the motor and the mpg will hurt your wallet pretty badly
If I lived in the US or the Middle East I’d have no hesitation in getting the petrol V8, but here in the UK/ Europe the diesel is actually a very good engine, and is actually somewhat affordable to run
@JohnB Gas v8's are not cheap or even reasonable to run in America anymore, gas prices now are ridiculous
Only enthusiasts who don't mind the hit on their wallet or plan their budget drive v8's now, most people are downsizing for commuting cause of the current gas prices
Matt I really liked the sentiment behind this video, and it was perfectly timed for me and really struck a chord. Thank you 👍
Thanks. Glad it was useful
Most philosophical car review I have seen. Loved it!
Thanks
Great video mate! I love this car so much, the standard flamboyant Italian styling with a beautiful sound! 😃
A magic view how most petrol heads must actually feel. Merci Sir.
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
Soo.....this is the 'die young - leave a good looking corpse' philosophy of life, then...
...hmm!!
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 .
Great review Matt, and your thoughts on life, well said mate 👍
Cheers
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.
Well.....that's 'supercars' for you!!
They see the 'petrolheads' coming from the next galaxy.....and empty their bank accounts...... !!!
I service my own M139... Parts are reasonable (except brake rotors) but everything mechanical even the 40,000k valve clearance service is a breeze. Not my daily, so no rush to get the job done etc... I'm looking for a headlight switch if you're able to recall what parts bin it was out of??? Also, believe there were a few Peugeot buttons thrown in for good measure...
GM switches? On a 4.7 Maserati? Which one - M139 or M145?
Sticky buttons, yes. Dated infotainment, yeah sure. But switchgear from "GM"?
Would you care to elaborate, because I'm genuinely curious.
@@peterlattimore6013 I'm afraid that (sticky?) headlamp switch on the M139 is a bespoke Maserati part. Like pretty much anything interior-wise on this generation. Unlike the latter M156, M157 and M161 products.
Also there is no Peugeot in there. What you're probably thinking of is the satnav solution from Magneti Marelli (like RT4, RT5) which was a subsidiary of FIAT back then. These were used in a similar layout at PSA a.k.a. Peugeot and Citroen.
But they still differ in terms of software, the screen, the headunit itself and the shape of the buttons.
(Round ones for Maserati, rectangular for PSA.)
One of the big issues with Maseratis in general - there’s few independent specialists and that drives the prices right up
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 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
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!
@jeremybrown9179 You don’t know what’s in store for you in the future, wishing you get what you want mate!
Yes matt
I love the little drops of motivation and just talking sense in general.
Very inspiring and unique
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 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 👍
Thank you. Glad you like them!
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😎
Congrats! Enjoy
how are you getting on with your Quattroporte?
@@ianbannister1997 so far it’s been great. I’m doing 1000 miles a week in it (my daily commute is 160 miles). I have over 5000 miles done so far and it’s returning a reasonable 38mpg average👍
Truly?
@@devlinracing3553
I'm thinking of taking the plunge. I am toying with the idea of a Ghibli or QP. I do quite a few miles too, but am worried about huge depreciation if I pile on the miles. I do about 500 miles a week and often into London.
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!
love this review ....honest and real
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!
Love the Maserati, I was quiet tempted by the ghibli as they were really reasonable priced and I think good looking cars.
Perfect timing, I've been looking at Maseratis lately.
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!!!
As a Porsche, MG and Alfa owner, I’m up for a challenge.
Love your work 👍
Search for the M139 ... you'll regret buying the later version... Ones to own are the series V models between 2009 and 2012... They have the better Bilstein suspension...
What a car! The Italians know a bit about style, good advice too, life is short, take a chance once in a while!
A sharp suit and you will have people thinking are they going to get a horses head on their pillow if they upset you 🤣🤣
This really is a beautiful car, I bought my 5 series because of your review, now tempted with this 😊
Class review as always 👍🏼
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.
Too true. Older Italian cars are like older Italian men wearing pinky rings...best avoided
You know that the BMW 5 series is not a reliable car, to be honest none of the BMWs after the E39 are reliable.
@@organiccold Yes. You get some of the Maserati breakdown/repair bill experience but with better parts availability. And a better driving experience. It's good advice!
BMW 5 series? Nah - not for me. Don’t want to be like thousands of others and be bland. Live life and flow with the ups and downs. Buy a Maserati. And smile at all the experiences it will bring.
@@mickcresswell1031 Yeah I know, YOLO and all that. I hope you enjoy your Maserati.
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?
Superb video Matt - You always leave me smiling - keep it up!!!
Thanks!
Loved this review....great advice....Live for the moment
Thanks!
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 😀
Did they ever even make a manual? I looked at these for years and never found a manual one
@@urdaeatmoths The last QP available with a manual was the Mk IV (late 90s/early 2000s).
Model of 2006 most beautiful car
@@urdaeatmoths The one I like most, is known as Quattroporte V (model M139) from 2003-2012. Wikipedia, says they were all auto, or one of those automated manuals you should avoid like the plague. But I remember seeing them as manuals in new car road tests in the UK. So Wikipedia…or whoever wrote that, you are wrong. I would probably be looking for a hen’s tooth now. Black with tan interior, factory roof, but that Joshua, is Howard’s lottery win car! Or number 1 of about 50 cars in a dream man cave 😂
@@user-bm7nw8pz4w We think alike! 2003-2012 is my favourite Quattroporte. It sounds so exotic, but all it means is 4 door 😂
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?
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
You make some very good points and honest as ever👍
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. 😬
My Deisel currently has over 70K miles on it, other than climate control fault (seems common) it's been fine for reliability and gets a notch over 40MPG on a run. Although getting servicing is a bit of a pain.
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.
We drove from Manchester to Rome and back in Jag xf 3.0 ltr D 2010 plate, towing caravan no breakdowns and so comfortable. People commented on what a nice looking car. I love it so glad I didn'tlthe listen to doom and gllll

Venice is a dream. Some people dont like it but to me it's Disneyland for adults - Lido Island, Giudecca, walking the Jewish Quarter near Cannaregio, taking the vaporetto down the Grand Canale...What a lovely road trip:)
This is why I love watching your reviews, great life advise. Just go for it.
Thanks
Brilliant video! Thank you as always :)
Polo top for the review as well! Incredible looking car
Its a Maserati! I had to make an effort :)
@@HighPeakAutos he's gone all posh!
Definitely a cravat for the next video...
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👍
I wouldn’t have as much confidence in the old shape one with its crap gearbox
@High Peak Autos
Agreed, but a 4.2 V8 with 400bhp and the less of a hand me down interior could sway it I suppose 🤔🤣
Do a video of something crap next please, £10500 for a gt sport with 48,000 miles on in silver. All I can hear is "Your only here once" ringing through my bloody ears😒
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.
Exactly that. Thanks for watching
Great vid as always. Lovely Maser.
The turtle neck was 👌
Haha thanks. I feel like I've out done them already this year and its only the 7th Dec
Have they made a comeback? That’s so high, it’s almost over Matt’s head 😂🤣.
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 👍👍👍
Sorry to hear than but that’s a very good point
Great video Matt. Agree with your comments as always. Nice car, looks stunning.
Excellent content and commentary. Nailed it.
Buy one if you don't mind becoming bankrupt. Crazy unreliable.
Whatever the model, a diesel Maserati is plain *WRONG*.
petrol is more fun who cares about 20mpg We' re here only ONCE
Says who?
@@josephtdi8764 - says anyone who loves cars & driving.
Great review!!!
Great review…even better life advice!! Love this. Thank you.
Thanks
Bless !...brilliant video sir ..
Thank u i enjoyed this video, appreciate the positive mindset content
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.
Great video Matt. Entertaining as usual. Here for a fun time not a long time makes you think😁👍
Beautiful car Matt enjoyed your content as always 👍
Great car great review well done Matt
Love your reviews
The best review yet
Spot on, pragmatic… love the summing up, so right 👍
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
A beauty. Totally agree with your views , as you say lifes too short not to enjoy what makes you happy. Nice one Matt.
Excellent as usual
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!
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!
I parked behind one of these in my ‘four door Rover’ last week & it caught my eye for its beautiful styling. I then glanced back at my Rover & thought yes I can see why the Italians voted it the most beautiful car of the year upon release. They certainly know how to style cars.
Hello Matt, what an interesting review, you are a top bloke. Ged
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
Fantastic, you’ve persuaded me to want one now.
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!
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.
Thanks for bringing this Maserati to us Matt, had forgotten all about this car, beautiful machine..
You’re welcome
Brilliant narration, as per usual.
Thanks for listening
Love it , changing my A8 e class and xf in the running this is tempting

Love it. Cheers from Oz.
Have just revisited this video for the umpteenth time... and I STILL drool over that car... magnifico!!!
Philosophy over substance!
Great review Matt 👏
Watching from Ireland, great video Matt, thoroughly enjoyed it. Surprised you didn't mention the Aston Martin Rapide in your list of comparisons?
Gorgeous car, top review, spot on life advice 👍
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.
It's a brilliant car. And u have put it brilliantly. I had 2 diesel and the S. With these it's all about driving that emblem. All about 1 million thumbs up u get while out and about..
One of your best videos.
Wow, thanks!
Amecing review as always!!!
Thanks again!
