"The Maserati Ghibli is a great balance of stunning looks, comfort and economy, especially as it's offered with a diesel engine."

Well... love it or hate it, people would certainly notice you turning up in one of these! Not sure they would in an Audi or BMW which are ten a penny these days and rather dull in design as well. I like it, it has character where most modern cars are clinical and uniform.

Alfa Romeo and Maserati have a lot of passion for sports cars, but they don't know how to make one properly. I don't care about steering feel or lack of practicality, I WANT ONE!!!

Connor Price with pedals and front seat well adjusted for a 6 feets tall driver, you will find ENOUGH leg room in the back seats. Watch the video, the front seat was moved way back, way behind the B pillar intentionally. The Ghibli uses the same Quadroporte seats and seat rails, very long for extra front passager comfort.

come 2018-19, this car's actually come a long way, much more improved than the model here, electric power steering, more powerful engine with the SQ4 model, improved the looks too with the facelift i think, and touched on a few bits and bobs like the centre console to iron out the creases. when this was first released, probs would have thought twice about going for this against say an audi or a BMW but now, i would seriously consider taking this over the others. one thing i found they really still need to look into is this cars awful turning circle, i mean come on, every fricking time i try to make a u turn i have to reverse before i can head on!!!

It's a great car. Far better than any of the 3 main rivals. I live in a relative poor country and in a small town, and I can easely state that there are more 5 series than golfs here. The a6s and Es are also very numerous. This car, the Ghibili, has soul, looks, monster engine and it's far more exclusive. If you want perfectin, buy the other 3... or marry an accountant. You've got the idea.

Yes, same full grain leather, same chassis, same engine, same prestige, same handling. Italian cars are generally non perfect like german cars, but the italian style and design is recognized around the world. And if you don't like the Ghibli's style the problem is in your personal preferences. If you think it's similar to a Kia you have not understood anything of automotive design!

If it had a much bigger and more flush screen it could work, maybe they intended to have one, set the design and then decided it would cost too much. Hence the acres of plastic border, that really looks quite cheap. Also, there seems to be buttons on the backside of the wheel? Wonder what they do. Also wonder if Italian manufacturers actually test cars before building them, that automatic gearbox would never pass in a German car.

anythingyouwant29 The thing is that Koreans are very very smart on marketing their products. I mean I personally do not own any Samsung Products. My laptops and computers are all Taiwanese Asus or Acer. Phones, Ive been using HTC all my life love them never break and the HTC One I currently use is made of metal and is indeed hard as shit. Can kill someone if I dropped it on their head. But despite that, people still tend to buy Samsung products just because they make everything from fridges to TV and phones. I do admit that the Korean products like Hyundai and KIA has some nice design features, thats why they attract a lot of costumers buying them plus that their price are very competitive too. But car enthusiasts should know that the qualities are really the main issue of their products. And regarding the Japanese cars, the cost of making anything in Japan is just too high compared to Korea and China nowadays. Its almost impossible for them to keep up with the quality they had back then and then sell it for the same price as the Korean and Chinese products.

***** Actually, the newest Korean models' quality isn't that much of an issue as it was 5 or 10 years ago. And they're still some of the cheapest. If Skoda or VW used to be the reasonable taxi driver's choice in past 10-15 years, Kia and Hyundai will be the same in next 10-15 years.

***** Oh Yeah I agree. If we take China for example. Its taken over USA as the worlds biggest automotive market. Most Taxis there are Hyundai, VW and Kia. I am personally very interested in the new Kia Genesis. I believe Kia might start a lineup with luxury cars (Genesis) like what Toyota did by creating Lexus in maybe 3-5 years time. However, at this moment, Japanese cars are still a little bit more reliable than say Korean and German cars. Dont even need to mention American cars. But the world is changing, Japan is falling behind now because the cost of producing anything in their country is just too high. China and Korea will be the ones leading the world in making consumer products like smart phones, cars, clothes etc. I mean China already does make basically everything, its just that they need to focus on making their own brands and design just like the Koreans with Samsung, Hyundai, Kia

Never had an issue with gears you press the button and move and down simple. The drive is great and the steering wheel is designed that way on purpose so maybe you need to get your homework done before slagging that and everything else off. Simply put; you just do not like this car and or Mazerati because if you had real knowledge of the brand you would just have a different take as you do not get what or who this car is for. Frankly I am getting fed up of your reviews and have been watching you for some years and unless its Audi or BMW you could never give a non bias review. Shame but I think I am going to call it a day here with you on KZbin.

Marius Campan True that for reliability but people who can afford it don't think that way and at masserati you get a alfa guillietta QV as a replacement car. And german cars are really boring if you live in Europe. If 1/2 cars are bmw,audi and merc then they really don't look that special. If you have the oppertunity to fly an airplane or fly in space. What would you choose most people would choose space cause its something "dangerous" , "exiting" and not that common.

This car would be a LOT more attractive at the 30,000 price range, 80,000 is too much for its level of "quality", and the extremely sensible gear shift is unacceptable. However the design looks beautiful, has an italian flair to it, better than the Alfa Giulia imo and definitely more unique than the german cars, but any car of that class is better than the Ghbili, reduce the price Maseratti! or start from scratch and improve the quality by 90%!

Before the Ghibli S Q4, the A7 tdi, S7 and 535 xd where my favorite choices but nothing big is safe & balanced 50/50 front/rear like a Panamera, a Boxster or a Ghibli, nothing... Electronic stab. cntrl. is a patch, not a cure.The 911 is great but the Panamera ugly. Also found a mid size 5 meter long 5 seater to be very handy. Even 911 are now downsized to 3 liters twin turbo 6 cyl. for emmissions. The 912 remains a real Porsch. To me the Ghibli is a real GT, well built with cost effectives off the shelve high grade components and finally much lighter than Bentley's, Panamera's and little Macan's.

+Firemarioflower I means 911 of course all the way. The larger 991 sells well in fact and is cool to drive, but all changes must fustrate many Porsches owners. Agree rear steering is a fix..not a solution....acceptable only on 7 m. long pick-ups to manuver. Keeping manual gear available is a warranty cost issue for mfr. as the electronic cntrl. of DSG prevents any overspeeding, valve related damage and synchro damages. New generation WANTS launch cntrl, CANNOT change gear...and a even a plain TC gearbox does the job. See SportAuto track test of a Ghibli SQ4. The test driver says that shifting manually is not needed w/sport mode on . It does the job well. I guess If Porsche would use a normal palet shift config. like Ferrari, the DSG acceptance would still be 10 Time better. Philgood

+Firemarioflower Fully agree that "boarding a Diesel Maserati taxi" sounds as strange as using a turbocharged vacuum cleaner, but all comparable and competitive product like XJ, Panamera, 6 séries, CLS etc offer a diesel version. Such version, I see it just to increase If I had a boat to tow with a diesel to grease my hands refiIling it, I would take the GrandCherrokee with the same V6 VM robust tractor engine. The gran Cherokee is cheaper, 4WD and I would drive it on 3 wheels thru each roundabout not to wear all tyres at one. Philgood

Philgood: One point you're completely right: the german ZF gearbox and gearbox selector is the weakest system of the beast. This german bit restricts also the Ferrari (Penstar block) V6 wild horse to ONLY 7000 RPM and torques it down at the high end. Too bad: a dual clutch Ferrari gearbox does not fit well a mass produced affordable Ghibli and we can't wait such a version MC or so. Then the Q4 is darn competitive: basically slightly better and a lot nicer than a double priced Panamera 4S 2014 and costing LESS than a Cayman S or little Macan. How do you say frameless doors and 5 seats in stuttgarter words? For the rest, the paddle shifters are cool, perfect and cost nothing, for stiff steering, just put the sport mode, not I.C.E. dummy! Thanks Good, the 4wd Q4 is NOT for bias right hand drivers like you, unable to choose the Grigio Maratea and Marone Poltrona Frau full leather. Stick to red, as you should be. PS: My new Q4 arrives end of May and pls, stop comparing Armani shoes with your Birkenstock tongs.

If you meant no German car ever sounded that good, i give you Carrera GT, but if you meant that no other German car in this class ever sounded that good, I give you F10 M5, E63, C63, list goes on and on.

Did not like it much on the first images that appeared but hell in this review I was blown a bit I must admit - it´s a stunningly good looking executive car and that noise is heaven. What a shame they have missed that badly with steering, brakes, backseats, the missing paddles and that annoying gear fiddling. And !!!! - Not often do we hear such harsh critique from CarBuyer.

Those are top of the line performance versions of their classes, you can't compare this 'regular' saloon to one of those, especially since they cost way more. It's only fair to compare it to regular C- Classes and 5 series' because those are its competitors.

You seriously believe that a car reviewer thought that all German cars were sedate saloons? I'm not being a smartass, you're just being an overly defensive and short fused prick.

I saw one of these in my area on 14 plates in black. It really is an absolutely beautiful car in person and I just wanted to be in it, flooring the throttle. Its a shame, then, that the back-seats are so small and the boot so shallow. Yes its a Maserati, yes its a Ferrari engine - but a car is only as good as the sum of its parts and, for an executive car, those are pretty large downsides to have. As much as I roll my eyes at German cars and would love for someone to really give them a run for their money (I'm looking at you, Cadillac Europe), I will have to begrudgingly admit that my Dad's old A6 was a better car overall. It WILL have a market though, and it will be a successful product because lets face facts, it is a beautiful car, it goes like stink, its got a god-like italian badge.

If you want to display your driving prowess or the car's handling on a public road it might be a good idea to not cross over to the wrong side of the road so much in order to negotiate a mild bend in the road. My advice to Carbuyer is to get someone who knows how to drive.

rallus I know. I'm in Australia and so do we. I'm talking about when they cross the centre line to go round a bend. If they can't drive on a public road without crossing the centre line it doesn't say much for the handling of the car.
