Cut-priced Italian exotica (Maserati Grecale GT 2023 Review)

[@uncois]

I don't understand. I just test drove it, and the backfire sound when shifting at redline was very noticeable. Why is there almost no sound from this car in the video?

[@kazar777]

3 year warranty in this day and age....doesn't give consumers much confidence in the build quality

[@mutopz]

How do you do a 3 point turn with buttons?

[@krugmeup2162]

Painfully

[@hellothere4342]

At a glance I thought this was a Ford Puma.

[@jeremybean-hodges6397]

Ditto. “Hi, I’d like a Ford Puma please, but somehow even less reliable”

[@hellothere4342]

@@jeremybean-hodges6397 you just know someone will buy it simply because of the Trident. Luxury goods buyers are just different.

You are not the only one😂

[@djizzah]

not boring, the frequent trips backwards and forwards to the mechanic for warranty issues and mechanical problems will keep you too busy to get bored oh and the devaluation faster than north koreas currency

[@MaxFromSydney1]

I’m not the target market for this car, but as a driver I would hate having the gear selector buttons adjacent to the touch screen that the front passenger will interact with.

[@Mrfeid]

I can hear the depreciation screaming from here…..

[@honeyisaac]

the gear switch is a huge nono, why do some car makers do that :s

[@mheeler]

More expensive than a Macan when new. After 12 months likely to be cheaper. Resale value suicide.

[@Olivier_The_Dilettante]

I would not like to be impaled by the trident in service or repair cost, lest by the reliability, and I'm out.

[@pereldh5741]

Posh Stelvio

[@HaruHaruman]

Ford Puma...?

[@EastWood2004]

I would wait until some buyers absorb the depreciation and buggy software before considering this vehicle.

[@rafaelkamaras3811]

You clearly waited to make this review until Maserati increases their prices. They just got an 10-15% price pump on all Grecale versions. Considering the GT started at 85k euros there no question whether someone would choose a lame Macan over a Grecale

[@mrporsche4236]

Just get the honda zrv. Looks similar is fast enough no turbo lag much cheaper and reliable

[@petergavalas9662]

No ac cooling at the back, fan only which is useless. Must purchase the trofeo if you want cooling at the rear.. disaster if you live in a warm climate!

[@dazz90]

Can anyone say "depreciation" & "unreliability" ?

[@zaamuro8408]

Shame that maserati has reverted back to weird italian ergonomics just for the sake of being different

[@heinedenmark]

I've tried the Modena version and have absolutely no idea what you are talking about 🤷 Please explain

[@peteranderson7497]

Maserati! What have you done to your brand?

[@houmandehesh740]

I own a Grecale: the design of the infotainment is horrific. So is the placement of the gear selectors and the stupid idea to have them as buttons. Right above the touch screen for the climate control. These design flaws wear you down over the time. Have you heard the three chimes when you start the car? The accept button every time? Do you like the loud sound of the turn signal? The audio mute also doesn't hold. Any messages on CarPlay make the stereo come back on etc etc etc so many bugs. Sadly there is a reason Porsche sells 4x more Macans than the entire annual production of Maserati. Oh and I forgot: good luck giving your car to a valet. You have to give them instructions through the open window

[@samcas707]

You either buy the trofeo or stay home

[@One-Two_swift-kickbox]

That infotainment system is like a cheap Jeep.

[@SunnyNagi]

Porsche Macan

Overpriced Ford Escape !

[@FéargalO]

Such a wasted opportunity, not quite sure how Maserati got this so wrong.

[@bluecookiejar]

Why waste time reviewing the base model? No ‘real’ Maserati driver will even consider this option.

[@chasingcars]

What's a 'real' Maserati driver? Do 'real' Porsche drivers buy Macans? The fact is the Grecale is going to attract new buyers who don't have supercar cash to splash.
