Everyone online always say the cars are unreliable and I have 3 friends that have them and they have the ‘17 versions the cars are still great with no major issues. And the windows are thick and secure one of those friends almost had their car broken into and the thieves punctured the two side windows multiple times and the glass won’t break.
Those are not stock wheels.... but even the stock SQ4 had 20's. ;-) Engine - It's a DimondStar blkock, co-designed when Mercedes owned dodge. It's a great design, a bit old, but it's been in millions of cars, including the Ghibli and has proven to be very reliable. @4:05 The size of the front and the look... proportionally, IT'S BEAUTIFUL! Look again and compare it to... basically any 4 door sedan and tell me it doesn't look good. 🙂 @4:20 Don't forget, you should compare the Ghibli to any other car from 2013, because that's when it was made and it's had very little upgrades since then. For a car that was designed in 2011-2012 has really aged well. @6:25 ICE - increased effeminacy - aka: eco mode @7:20 you think it's funny the windows down go down all the way...? Ha, try folding down the rear seat without destroying the rear air vents. 🙂 @7:40 that compartment is cooled by your A/C. Put your drink in there. Maintenance is very reasonable if you take care of it. IT LOVES oil changes... the dual turbo heat really cooks the oil, CHANGE IT OFTEN... like 5K miles and you'll never have a problem. Oil filters online are very reasonably priced. The transmission is a zf8 by BMW, basically indestructible. No known major flaws, other than people like to drive it hard and than wonder why it suffers. Be nice to it, it's Italian. PS I'm also an owner and loving it.
hey man i’m really considering buying one i just don’t want to get it and something goes wrong for 3-5k within a year it has 59k miles do you think i should be good.
@@ProfessorDrives It however depends on what road conditions you are on, if its a straight and relatively dry road and tires are fine, that can be what you achieve with brake boost. Hope u get ur hands on one!
The blank switch space is used in other models for the adjustable dampers. The Levante center console has cup holders, too. There’s a switch inside to route the AC into the console.
Just bought myself a 2015 for 25k. It’ll end up being 37k after I get the extended warranty and pay interest. Looking to instal jb4 tuning kit. Love the car! I get a lot of compliments!
hey just out of curiosity, how much do you pay for the insurance and where do you live? and whats been your experience with the fuel economy? im 24 and very tempted to buy a 2016 for 17-18k and Im trying to see if I can afford it lol
Hey this is Kyle the same person, I just have multiple RUclips profiles. Insurance is about $1000 every 6 months, and payment are $400 over 6 years. I however pay $500 each month. It has been a blessing. I live in N.D. And it drives well on ice. It’s too low to drive over any snow and it doesn’t have any place to hook up a tow hook so if I get stuck in a ditch I’d be in trouble. You definitely need a 2nd car if you live in any state that snows. Way to low and snow will get you stuck.
@@4eo232 fortunately and unfortunately I live in LA so no worries about snow lol but insurance rates are wild here (especially since my rates are probably still very high because of my age. I'll probably have to get a quote before buying. thanks for the input!
Been driving maserati for 8 years. First ghibli i hit 100k with 0 issues until i crashed it 😂😂😂😂 but Maintance and insurance are extreme High. Over all, its a Beatiful design and even thoe its a 10 year old model that has not changed it still catches eyes.
the speedometer numbers are so because in Europe this are the used speed limits. 50 - city, 90 - extra urban, 110 or 130 highway (kmh, not mph) (I would expect this to be redesigned for US market, obviously is not).also the wheels are definitelly custom, the biggest allowed size for the car is 21" - 245/35 front and 285/30 back. also, the fifth button is for the adaptive suspension (it should come with the GranSport which has ~410bhp). Anyhow, despite a lot of things to go crazy from, there is a lot to enjoy it for. Stay safe!
Everybody beats up on Maserati When bmw and Mercedes are known to have major issues and don't get me started o American Cadillac that's known to be complete trash
You said it all ! Maintenance is crazy on this car ! But when you buy one , you wanna buy it again ! And drive is not really nice either or comfortable! And cheap material Shift start making noise Those mirrors on doors if is going wrong you only have to take it to Maserati store ! Beautiful looking car with very very unique exhaust voice
Thank you so much! And yes it is! It would be AWESOME for the first few months, but once the maintenance costs start hitting it won't be a super fun time lol.
Honestly, what happens is, people buy cars like this and do not maintain them. As a result, all the maintenance adds up…resulting in several thousand dollars in repairs…then, all the Internet trolls say how lousy Maserati is. I’ve owned my 2006 Maserati GranSport that is tuned and heavily modified and not only has it been meticulously maintained…I’ve had ZERO problems. Buy a Maserati, do the maintenance and stop bitching.
@@ChicagoItalian I was also listening to reviews and heard that they’re not as bad as they made out to be I would love to have one just for a special car to only bring out the special occasions not a new one, but a really lower mileage used one
When I see a Maserati, I think, 20k, trying to look rich, not fooling anyone, 15k repairs, tanking in value. That being said, I would still consider it. I love cars.
They are really good i have one i love it for that kind of money i would never buy any other car and just to inform you thats a fridge bro thats why it has cup holders it has a button inside to turn the cooling on
Me personally I HATE blue screens in cars … has to be the cheapest tackiest looking shit… especially in a Maserati to have a damn Honda screen or Chrysler screen no… speedometer is boring aswell…
The fact that you can get a 2019 Maserati for $30,000 isn't enticing, it's suspicious.. As it should be. There's a reason the price dropped that much.. You're still paying for parts and maintenance on an $80,000 car.

@@trophyybabyyever get it? I own one at 59k currently and 0 issues
those aren’t the stock wheels… seriously how do you not know that
You would think he would know that. Especially when it doesn’t have a Maserati badge on it.
Damn haters everywhere. Why not kindly advise the guy….
kid, the windows in the back dont go all the way down because there is a wheel under the glass.
Get a sq4, and you can acheive a 0 to 60 of 4.4 seconds and a top speed of 180.
If I get my hands on one, I'll for sure make a video on it!
@@ProfessorDrives It however depends on what road conditions you are on, if its a straight and relatively dry road and tires are fine, that can be what you achieve with brake boost. Hope u get ur hands on one!
The SQ 4 with the paddle shifters is so much more fun.

That's super cool! Congratulations on your new car. It's crazy to me how these things are 25k-30k out the door.
I like the sq4 a bit better. I hope they can come out with aftermarket turbos so we can get to 800 hp 😊

one of my favourite things about them is how the speedometer is non-linear. it goes 10 20 30 40 50 70 90 110...
Uh is no one going to point out that the wheels and tires are aftermarket?
You said it all !
Maintenance is crazy on this car !
But when you buy one , you wanna buy it again !
And drive is not really nice either or comfortable! And cheap material
Shift start making noise
Those mirrors on doors if is going wrong you only have to take it to Maserati store !
Beautiful looking car with very very unique exhaust voice
I don’t think those are the stock wheels
They aren’t lol, although they do look similar in design to some of the factory options ngl
Sounds like the reviewer wants to drive a common car. Go buy a Honda
Lol. Missed the point.
You did. In totality
Worth it at 30k for a 2019 SQ4?
Would you buy one of these for $30,000?
Thinking about it for 2 months. Either this or Alfa
@@swagflurees I'll try to get my hands on an alfa and compare it to this car. But awesome, those are both rare and cool
@@ProfessorDrives ok thanks bruh. Seen a 2018 Ghibli for 31000 with 43000 miles. Kinda scared to pull the trigger lol
Nope
@@swagflurees you can get a 2016 with 40k for like 25k it's crazy
Those wheels are aftermarket it’s not that big stock.
Thank you for the correction!
@@ProfessorDrives no problem! Great review BTW. Love your style. Release more videos. Would love to see a video about a V8 charger
@sonyscott6926 Thank you man! I will. I found someone with a 2021 Dodge Challenger Scatpack that I'm going to review. I'll do a charger soon :)
I don’t believe that the stock exhaust. Definitely not the stock wheels.
Great video! Definitely an interesting buy for the price
Thank you so much! And yes it is! It would be AWESOME for the first few months, but once the maintenance costs start hitting it won't be a super fun time lol.
I'd love to move up the Italian ladder but as my Alfa Giulia Ti Sport has the same 0-60 times and so forth, would this even be worth it??
Aren't you afraid of the maintenance? its still an 80G car maintenance wise.. and i know Mas are notorious for being unreliable
Yessir I did bring that up towards the end, and that's the biggest negative to this car.

How much did you pay for it and how many miles on the odometer at the time of purchase? Thanks
Shifter same as bmw…… I think few cars have shifter with a button press park looool… also many cars u need to use screen to locate seat vents…..
Great video, did you see Tyler Hoovies $8k Ghibli video?
All bark, little bite. That said… it’s an excellent bark 😅

The reason why you don't see too many of them on the street is because they're always in the shop😂😂😂
I wouldn't buy one for 15k
Don’t
What can you buy instead 😂😂😂 for 15k
Do u even have 15k
Probably three fiddy only@@dynamistic9638
Golf
They are really good i have one i love it for that kind of money i would never buy any other car and just to inform you thats a fridge bro thats why it has cup holders it has a button inside to turn the cooling on
The wheels are aftermarket
Honest review ! Pretty great. Hope your mas treats you right ! Love my 17 S
what about maintenance and reliability
I addressed it a bit, they're not TERRIBLY unreliable from what I've heard, but maintenance costs on these things are awful.
@@ProfessorDrives damn
Me personally I HATE blue screens in cars … has to be the cheapest tackiest looking shit… especially in a Maserati to have a damn Honda screen or Chrysler screen no… speedometer is boring aswell…
this isn't a Maserati Vehicle compared to the Modena.
kinda gas she suck? 87 or 91?
Premium only, if u in states, 93 only
Dude you don't understand these are aftermarket wheels? The standard wheels are NOT that large, ugly and stupid
