***6.3 seconds not 3.1*** 🤣
Lol the idea of a person dressed to the nines in his or her Maserati pulling up to the servo and then go park next to the patrols and hiluxs to get some smelly bloody diesel is just funny to me. Great review as always fella
😂😂 I know right such a weird combo
Great videos mate. I’m guessing the HSV VE E3 Senator Signature in Alto Grey is coming next. I sent you a Email 📧 yesterday. Can’t wait for the next video. From Jordan’s car reviews.
senator is coming next :)
Would be a good daily, I'd be dreading maintenance though lol
Those power gates look pretty sweet, would love one myself.
I've got an 05 VZ SS 6 speed, cammed with a TVS 2300 magna charger @9psi running a stock (tuned) ecu.
OH MAN i love the VZ! and MANUAL!!! FML nice work bro
@@RossReviewsau Cheers mate.
It is my daily for three years now: no issues what so ever. Love it!
@@lolkevandewitte1713 Good to hear, mate.
This is a huge limousine. On the video it looks compact but in real it's like an s class. That means heavy and not a sporty ride in the bends
Same VM Motori V6 (A 630/EcoDiesel/L630) that's used in the current Grand Cherokee with minor differences. Internally the same engine though, they're a great engine IF you service them frequently.
yes same one exactly just had some tweaks to make it sound better haha
@@RossReviewsau Different exhaust, injectors, glow plugs, and hotter tune. All of which are interchangeable on the Grand Cherokee lol. Imagine if they had 200kw/600nm over 182kw/570nm 😂😂
Love the review, But hate the car, Man Maserat,i but its not, you get the Badge.
Yeh it’s a very very acquired-buyer looking for something like this 😅🤣
It's a genuine pity that Maserati didn't invest that bit more in the quality of the Ghibli as it could have been truly special. As it is, the 640d is much better built, much faster, and arguably more beautiful.
It really is a shame they cheaped out on the interior because it could have been something really amazing your right!
Indeed, arguably…
"89 plus in my Maserati gas tank I'll be driving all night" keep the reviews coming mate 👍🇦🇺🍻 Maserati is a poor man's supercar
More cars on the way m8!
The outside looks beautiful, but the interior is a letdown for a car more expensive than a BMW or Merc...
it definitely needs to be better on the inside.. agree tho looks quite good on the exterior
@@RossReviewsau The exterior looks good except for the three quarter view... The lines kind of get lost...
Yeah mate a weird combo alright hey, but she seems to go pretty well,it should be called a Maserati Sooty lol,the outside looks a little bit like a Stinger too I reckon,great vid thanks Johnny.
yes very similar to a stinger ive always said..
Hi Mate thank you for your wonderful work.
Thanks for watching!
All most got a V8 sound to it that engine
it definitely sounds aggressive on throttle eh! not bad at all for a diesel
WTF - it really does have the Chrysler Uconnect and window switches haha I don't understand how that decision was approved!
its sad all the basic switchgear is cheap :( the indicator killed me
Great review thanks for a thorough review. No BS just straight talking ! I would be tempted
glad you enjoyed the video :)
Great review Jono, good to see you reviewing a oil burner, if only it lived up to its description of nomenclature!? Quite a nice car for daily duties, for the well heeled that is...
Great point! thanks as always brendan!
Way too expensive for what you end up with. Maserati really cut corner by diving in the FCA parts bin to excess. Just way to much money for that Ghibli
the parts bin is what kills this for me.. the indicator was so cheap :( RIP i love the shape tho just wish it was more premium inside
2008 FG XR8 Falcon..... Nice review Ross.....
cheers Craig! love the XR8
Great review Keep up the good work and good luck.
Thanks,m
Who on earth buys a Maserati sedan with a diesel engine? Surely you only buy a Ghibli because you can't afford a Quattroporte V8. And if you then can't afford the twin turbo petrol V6 Ghibli, then why are you buying a Maserati at all? I guess you could hang out with the other three people who bought a 4 cylinder Mustang. If you're spending $140k and want an Italian car and don't buy an Alfa Giulia QV you really need to start querying your life choices.
HAHA good question! im still working that one out too..
Ok, this is my daily driver for three years now, so yes, I am biased…. But honoustly? This is a good review! Some remarks: yes, the gear lever is clumsy, they fixed that (and a lot more) in model 2017 and up. You DO have heated seats: it’s in the menu on the touch screen…. The indicator in that car must be broken: it should not move like that. The leather used in the car is of better quality than in my previous Audi’s and BMW’s. The engine is NOT made by Chrysler, but by VM Motori from Italy. This company was owned partially by GM up until 2012. Now it’s owned by Fiat. And yeas, Ferarri did interfere with the engine for the Ghibli. Yes, this engine is used by other brands, but this is the A630HP-version, only used by Maserati….
The gearbox is the 8HP70 by ZF, also used by BMW, Landrover, Aston Martin etc. It can handle torque to 700+Nm. It’s flawless. The Ghibli diesel can be tuned to up to 330hp/720(!)Nm…. It’s been done by Squadra, a famous car tuner in Holland.
ok thanks for the info! good to see a owner leave feedback :)
@@RossReviewsau you’re welcome!
Thanks for the details, how have the maintenence expenses been for you? I'm considering one
@@jonathangibbons3304 except for regular oil changes (I do one extra in between) I have had zero issues. Over 100k miles now (175k km’s).
@@lolkevandewitte1713 thank you that's what I wanted to hear 😃
its interior is shocking but i still like the shape haha
cool exterior for sure
4:53 *Actually, that's NOT a "Chrysler diesel" at all.
It was in fact a totally outsourced unit, developed and built by an independent italian firm - VM Motori, specifically for the Maserati's lineup, with its direct European competitors in mind, 100% focused onto the Euromarket , where 50% of the premium 4 doors, mid/fullsize saloons and Suvs market is made by 2.0/3.0L diesels.
Yes, different versions of this unit are mounted on Jeeps and other Fca models as well.
i can see that for sure
Is that the Mercedes engine they use in Jeep.
its from a Jeep Grand cherokee yes
No. It's a VM engine, no Mercedes.
It's a shame that the inside of the maserati looked like a chrysler
it really is eh.. i like the outside just wish the inside matched
Well hopefully maserati will make the car a lot different in side and out
As the Patrol and Cruiser brigade like to say.. Soot gets the moot :)))))
HAHA! Sootin ;)
Have you reviewed one of the earlier square shaped quattraportes?
Some received a four speed BTR auto gearbox.
Not yet but hope to feature more eventually
Buying an old performance name the v8 I think it is sounds good
yeh i would want the V8 for the noise
Good review Jono but no thanks it doesn't do it for me
Tony
cheers for stopping by Tony :)
Allgood car untill a warning light comes up on the dash then its 😭
very true :( RIP
It's a car bought by the a busy company executive who's wife always nags him about contributing to saving the environment
Diesel saving the environment is a myth... Diesel pollutes much more than petrol and imagine straight piping a diesel!
OH MAN this straight piped ;)
def an executive buying this but is also cheap so gets the diesel thinking he will save money
@@RossReviewsau Tbh, I'd rather get a 3 series or C class for much less money and a better quality interior.
good exterior shitty interior
Basically 😂
mate wheres this territory haha
editing now ;)
Do people really buy this? 🤦🤦🤦
i guess lol.. yeh its a hard sell tho
Ofc
