@@ZACH_95_The M139 QP is no more unreliable than a Nissan from the same age and era. In fact I believe it’s more reliable because the f136 didn’t have chronic head gasket failures that ruined the engine. Not that you care to actually do research you just blindly look up random articles talking about claims.
If you have to have one of these, the one with the ZF transmission is the one to buy. The single-clutch transmission was notorious for poor shifting and failure. That V8 sounds so good. The Italians aren't so great at build quality but you can't deny that they know how to build an engine, style a car, and tune a chassis.
People complaining about the reliability of Maseratis from this era have never owned owned or even seen one. I own a 2016 Gran Turismo, this is my second Maserati (first being a 2014 QP). I purchased it from Johnson Maserati of Cary (NC) a few years ago. I love my GT.
Based on Wikipedia, there were only 1,800 of these produced (the Sport GT S version) and there are probably less than 500 in the U.S. This car will one day rocket in value, this is a future classic car... Why do classic cars go up in value? They are rare and have big engines.
If you lift the top of the rear armrest there is a switch that lets you move the front passenger seat forward for more leg room. I know the Merc S Class had it first, but I wonder how many owners don't know it's there!
Owned one for 6 years and no major problems 95k miles when I sold it. I think these cars are made to be driven. The ones I have seen with problems are the ones with low miles.
The modern maseratis are the most reliable maserati you can own. The car wizard claims they're more reliable than people think. I tend to believe him, because ever since STLA acquired Afla Romeo, their reliabilty has been up to par with the Germans and build quality went up too. The main problem with maseratis or any italian car has been the electronics, never the mechanicals. So it actually makes sense sharing a lot of electronics with French cars, really help their reliability case. Also you want a maserati because it's actually built in Italy, unlike BMWs which are mostly built in Mexico and South Africa. Just saying, you'll get a nicer interior from the Italians, especially on Zegna models
I have a 2011 quattroporte sport gt s! Mine has 28k miles It’s not as bad as people make it out to be. it’s very reliable car. I’ve owned it for 2 years.
My 2009 Quattroporte has 91,000 miles and has only ever let me down once due to a loose battery lead caused by a previous owner. The issues tend to be minor (window regulators, engine mounts, boot release switch etc) but these cars are all about that V8 engine - it sounds fantastic!
The claim that the newer Maseratis are 'Chrysler products' and that Chrysler 'stepped in' is slightly misconceived: The FCA merger was an equal one in theory, but FIAT Group brought almost 80% of the financial assets at the time and 44% of the ownership of the new company was held by the Agnelli family alone, so if anything it was more FIAT than Chrysler.
@@jeremiahallyn4603 yes, super unreliable and very expensive to maintain/fix. That's why used ones are dirt cheap even though they were over $100k brand new

I love the people insulting the reliability when they've never driven, ridden, or even seen one in person.
Because all you have to do is do some research and you’d see that they are not a reliable brand. You don’t need to drive or ride one to find out.
@Zach-cg7np The Germans and even the Japanese all but own the "professional reviewers," and have a vested interest in trash talking the competition.
@@ZACH_95_only the cheap models are unreliable brokie

I think 2013 and before, they were essentially Ferraris; 2014 and after they were Chryslers. I always liked and wanted a GHIBLI. I like these.
maserati from 2005 to 2013 still have problems
@@mattnorman5241well obviously, the whole brand is unreliable.

Visually a beautiful car. When it's not in the shop, it's great.
I never really thought of the front looking like a guppy, but now that's all I'm going to think every time I see one...THANKS ZACK!
No, it's supposed to look like a fish, which is the Maserati thing
I'm genuinely surprised that thing is running and not broken down. The owner must have spent a fortune on upkeep.
True, Quotroporte are notoriously unreliable
😂. iBet your 2 Maseratis are broken all the time. 🇮🇹😎

Part sharing (Fiat x Chrysler) is evident within the 2014 to 2023 Maseratis.
You should do a maserati Granturismo review. It is beautiful car. Quite timeless design. Designed by Pininfarina.
Gorgeous car! Love your videos, Zack
1:57 you're gonna regret saying it like that
Saw this exact car last weekend! stunning in person, wish I could of heard it rumble
Very cool car! Also I would gladly welcome a review of one of those not so great new ones like the Ghibli and Levante
I’m looking at this car right now with 88k miles. How much do you think is a reasonable price to sell it at?
Around $16k, but always get a pre-purchase inspection.
@evanrozsa for a Sport GTS? No way that's less than 25k.
Sport GT S is a 50k car and going up
@@slkfjariao how sure are you with this?
$25-30K
Damn the soft touch plastics look nasty
You could have ended the review after that pull at 1:08 and we would all be like "OK, I get it. Zack needs to be alone with the car for a while..."
Best s3dan ever
Actually was FIAT to buy Chrysler and not the opposite, Maserati never became a Chrysler product.
I feel bad for the people who bought this brand new
I feel equally as bad for the people who buy them used 😂
Why? Were they not very reliable or something? I honestly don't know anything about these cars.
@@jeremiahallyn4603 yes, super unreliable and very expensive to maintain/fix. That's why used ones are dirt cheap even though they were over $100k brand new
