Horrific car! My old salesman had one! Changing 4 tyres cost him an absolute fortune 😮
Test drove a Quattroporte yesterday and the difference between this and that is huge. It’s a shame they couldn’t get this one right, it would have sold in good numbers if it had.
The earlier Quattroporte 5 and Gran Turismo models were made when Maserati was under Ferrari, and they shared many components. They aren't perfect but the naturally aspirated, Ferrari-built V8 engines are amazing – no fakery needed. The later ones were made under Fiat Chrysler and not in the same league sadly.
Looks like a 4k loss then?
It's the wrong spec with the greatest respect. Before the Trofeo came out, the petrol V6 was the one to have. Sounded awesome especially with a Larini exhaust. Also, the V6 Petrol in S form is way faster than the diesel. 0-60 in 4.9 seconds and 0-100 in 11.4 seconds with a top speed of 177 mph. They're tuneable as well. You can get 460 bhp out of them very easily and that'll drop 0-60 in 4.4/4.5 ish. With some internal changes, 500 bhp is achievable.
You also need the extended leather package on the dashboard which makes it a far nicer interior. The major issue is that going for a V6 Petrol S and spending money on the interior would have meant a price of at least £20k more.
if you were gonna give your opinion on the ghibli, then you should have done the new one. not a 2015 model!
Does the name Ratner spring to mind?🤣
Im quite disappointed about that 😂 i was planning on buying 1 when i trade in my old XF 😢 but i think that's possibly worse than the 14 yr jag I've got. Best buy a cls
I was on my way down to Berrow Motors with £15k cash in my pocket to buy a white diesel Maserati Ghibli…until youtube recommended that i watched this video, thanks Joe you helped me avoid it. 😁
Love the honesty (that's why I watch you), but… aren't you meant to be selling this car? 🙂
I think you will live longer if you concentrate driving the car rather than playing with the display screen, swop it for a VAUXHALL.
I had one last year for a few months. Always had 'premium' cars. I enjoyed 5k miles in it, does nothing badly but also does nothing spectacularly well.
The engine is a VM Motori so like all the interior switchgear can also be found in a Grand Cherokee.
It is noticeably wider than a Jag XJ which it replaced.
I found the gearlever action infuriating – going between Drive and Reverse quite often ended up with being in Park or Neutral.
Also little ergonomic quirks like the Cruise control switch being cack handed to use.
It's nice in isolation but if you have experience of or have owned its competitors its an 'also ran' or a 5/10 car.
Lovely cars Maseratis- only tiny slight issue is that every time something went wrong … get used to the phrase “ small hole in the rad – that’s an engine out job mate “ – “leak in a hose … no problem mate , first thing I need to do is get the engine out “
Chops won’t be taking that off you now you’ve murdered its prospects 😂. Honesty does sometimes pay off.
A diesel engine has no place in a Maserati.
I still quite like it 😂 are parts cheap as there either GM or old Mercedes?
That’s a great example of heritage massacred by cheap nasty design. Shame
Amusing edit 🙂
It's a good job you don't work as a car sales person 😅 you would never make any money on commission 😅
It looks beautiful, but surely a petrol engine would be better suited to an Italian luxury brand, and looking at your other stock I'd go for the Volvo S90.
You look uncomfortable in that Joe sitting to high ??
Nobody in their right mind who has seen this video is going to buy this. I thought you were moving to a more sensible stock profile?!?!?!
Why would you be honest your a car salesman never tell the truth 😅😅
A diesel Maserati. 🤦👎
Lol get the impression you dont like it joe !! Not sure i would have done that video to be honest hope you haven't got it on your car stocking plan cause you may have it a while now ….
Can we see more Sophie????
Extremely honest opinion
This is the kind of consumer information we need. Those other YTs that pretend to give an honest review but are actually chuffed they’ve been given a press car and don’t want to ruin a relationship with the brand so give a weak af review. This is great, more of this please!
It actually sounds like a tugboat 😅
I remember putting lollipop sticks in the brakes to go against the spokes on my Raleigh Burner…sounded great..😄
Joe your one of the funniest car dealers on the market
Nice video Joe with Brean and Berrow as a back drop.
Man moans about base spec diesel car. Get a proper one and have another go
Please go to a proper Optician Specsavers have you coming out with glasses that don't fit and looking like Groucho Marks, they don't fit you
Did seriously consider buying one, a coupe of years ago, but avoided it for the reasons you mentioned plus very cramped in the rear and very expensive running cost. But still love the shape and brand
FCA product = no thanks. Cheap and nasty.
New glasses finally Joe 😂😂👌
that speaker is so gay
Ouch Joe! Fair play to you that was very honest….. I still love it though, thanks for the video on it.
Kufatec module added to the active exhaust gives 6 different levels of sound including a v6 noise 😉
Awd art yer aaarrnnd!
My preferance would be a Quattroporte Sport GT S. Not built by Fiat.
Good review. Wow, I've seen fake exhaust tailpipes, but false noises are really taking things to a different level for a sporty car manufacturer.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
