On the road​: 2014 Maserati Ghibli S Q4

[@jonathansantos-xx7ul]

this car is gorgeous and with that red interior man ..

[@love_is_sacrifice9414]

That dodge dart comparison made me fall of my chair!

[@chainfreelife6733]

Audi use items of VW.... Like every other brand! Does a button says something about the car?

[@deeice7202]

More sensors means more repairs. I like how the Maserati focuses on making nice engines

[@jarekjellison817]

They don’t even make their engines.

[@upilufti]

I think it's better to have another manufacturer's proven Infotainment system rather than creating a half-ass POS in-house one..

[@hornmaestro5559]

Couldnt have said it better... haha

[@jaquevius]

I totally agree

[@Rickusty]

God, I love Maserati

[@GrandSpiral]

You're a moron

[@Gangreen167]

Nice car!.. That exhaust!!!!

[@Dreadzedan]

This is a hot looking car.

[@renaldonelson970]

I actually kind of like how the general public...on average...has a ton of negative comments to say about this car. Every video and review i have read is filled with haters on this car in the comment section...why do i like this? The negativity will cause the value of this car to tank and they are already depreciating fast. Then i will be able to get one soon and waive to the haters as i roll by in my quad exhaust maserati on 21s!

[@min.davidburchsr1518]

Renaldo Nelson

[@min.davidburchsr1518]

Renaldo Nelson Maserati in general have an extremely high depreciation rate. Basically, it is a high maintenance vehicle. The car once a few years old is accessible to the average working man. Yes the car is affordable. But can the average Joe afford the maintenance......

[@Stanley4558]

still a v6

[@imnuktam872]

Your day is here man. I am looking at this page because im debating on buying one for under 30k, but wondering if I should go with Audi S4 instead because man do people slam this car and make it sound unreliable and expensive to maintain.

[@jaquevius]

Exactly. I just bought a ‘17 SQ4 with a sticker of 90k for 38k three years old with 29k miles...and I love it!

[@leyingzhou]

I understand Maserati has some issues..... But i still gotta say 90% of Maserati haters CANNOT afford a Maserati, so all they do is talking shit about the car on the internet.

[@thatwhitesq4]

Totally agree

[@thearousedeunuch]

That engine alone would convince me. However, you've got to admit that the interior does not look good.

[@chainfreelife6733]

EXACTLY

[@kingaza7734]

Like bmw haters? Luv my beemer

[@heinedenmark]

The price for the B&W sound system is ridiculous

[@muhjm1946]

There is one question, is it reliable or will it cost a arm and leg anytime it due for service?

[@gvvvv2300]

6:05, a mpg of 12.9... good job maerati... are you sure you did put turbo into the car?

[@brandonw4800]

The granturismo still holds it's reign, the amount of Ghinli's I have seen on the street in my area is ridiculous. If you want a unique Maserati with the equality of the Ghibli S Q4 performance, the Granturismo is the way to go

[@SuperMauroBros1245]

The ghibli is 4 dors, gran turismo is 2 dors. They're completly differt cars. I think the ghibli s is the best 4 dors car after the Ferrari ff.

[@1119-w3u]

This thing cost about 30k now certified used lol 😂

[@NoNo-sf6js]

111915 528518 20k now

[@JA-qw1jv]

Proof

[@travisarcamone1451]

And now 13,999 🤣

[@konliner9286]

I dont mind if it shares stuffs like the Dodge. As long as it's nice, why not ?

[@thearousedeunuch]

The problem is that the stuff shared doesn't look nice nor luxurious.

[@chainfreelife6733]

Even Audi use items of VW... As well as other brands do also...

[@konliner9286]

@@chainfreelife6733 Some people are just brand snobs. They don't like it if something resembles cheaper cars even though the quality might be good enough.

[@chainfreelife6733]

My former car was a BMW 4series cabrio... only 1 and half years old... a wonderful car without any doubt... but nothing to compare by my Maserati... the feeling.. the quality.. the excitement... the exclusivity... my BMW didn't gave me those feelings.

[@sunghong524]

This car is so pissed off all the time. It's like that guy at the bar who's always frowning.

[@Smart1529]

well its not the worst looking thing

[@1338-c9s]

That’s why I bought one.

[@chainfreelife6733]

I drive one... each and every day and I can say... its an AMAZING car. I never will change anymore and I've driven Mercedes, BMW and Audi before. Maserati is breath-taking!!!!

[@elliotjames158]

you don't buy a maserati because of its infotainment system...

[@Toastmaster_5000]

+Elliot James you also don't check out CNET reviews without considering infotainment systems

[@vilenationgaming]

You also dont buy a Maserati with Dodge parts

[@The_Notorious_CRG]

are Maseratis more reliable now?

[@ahmedxkhan]

Yes. Worth the money. But only 2021 and up. Nothing below.

[@cmcmanu8]

77k and rain sensing wipers aren't standard?

[@contractki11er]

So with it having power adjustable pedals, would say a 6 ft person be able to move the pedals all the way back that way he'd be able to keep his seat up a reasonable distance for a person in the back?

[@95mushroom]

contractki11er Sucks no one responded, but power adjustable pedals are usually exclusively for moving them closer to you. So a shorter driver sits further away from the airbag in a better/safer position. "All the way back" with power pedals is the same as fixed pedals.

[@contractki11er]

95mushroom Oh I see, thanks for the info.

[@PreetSingh-ji7ey]

Is it made by ferrari

[@byronrideaux]

The engine is made by Ferrari, but the technology is from Chrysler

[@PreetSingh-ji7ey]

Dodge dart lay out

[@byronrideaux]

@@PreetSingh-ji7ey Exactly, Dodge uses Chrysler's technology, because they are owned by Chrysler and so is Maserati

[@Magicstockton]

Best reviews.

[@Chops473]

6feet tall normal height!?

[@RollingEight]

well 5'10 is average so i think they meant its a common height

[@AM4project]

very nice car

[@jannissen9211]

How does it steer like? My friend said its steers like an audi, just a lot worse.

[@aquateen77723]

Many reviews say that for a hydraulic power steering unit, it doesn't feel as communicative as it should.

[@VegitoAttacks]

Awesome.

[@vigorosoPIMPJr]

Why can’t I see the LED running lights on. I thought the Ghibli has LEDs

[@chainfreelife6733]

Yes he have!

[@uccio2169]

badass car

[@robl3415]

no one uses the knobs on the radio, they control volume and station with their hands on the wheel. and I've never used my cd player. stereo stays off most times and i listen to this symphony from exhaust. intoxicating. The key is a statement when you put that sucker on the counter. its all about experience with this car.

[@elmetwennhudkoad]

Maserati should make a extended wheelbase of this car, so people could actually fit on the back seats

[@AleksanderHoff]

***** Or... for the price you would have to pay for the extended version... get a Quattroporte.

[@chainfreelife6733]

I didn't bought the Maserati for my back seat passengers.... they can feel themselves lucky for being a passenger in a Maserati I suppose...

[@Daniel_Capital]

Why is Mr. Cooley recommending all of these features to make it "CNET Style," while simultaneously saying they're not worth getting? Huh?

[@thearousedeunuch]

He's showing all or the most important tech options you can buy, and giving his opinion if you should actually buy them or not.

[@kristianbrandt3012]

I quite like this thing but it has one big problem. It's the same problem that the Rolls Royce Ghost struggles with. The only reason you'd buy a Ghibli is that you couldn't afford a Quattroporte.

[@konliner9286]

Kristian Brandt I think it looks better than the Quattroporte and it's a smaller car, which appeal to certain people.

[@kristianbrandt3012]

William M You consider mileage and insurance when you buy a Maserati? You're right though, there is something with the way the Quattroporte looks. The old one was definately better looking. But it is still miles better looking than the Panamera, that thing is so nasty it makes your eyes bleed. I don't know about the Granturismo, It's good looking but its bottom isn't. No I'd either have the Ghibli or the old Quattroporte GTS.

[@BlueUKLouis]

+Kristian Brandt Sometimes it's not about having the most expensive car.

[@renaldonelson970]

dang the only reason ud buy a cla is because u cant afford a c class. only reason you bought a 5 series is because you couldnt afford a 7 series. only reason you bought a base kia optima is because you couldnt afford a cadenza. dude u can say that about ANY car manufacture.

[@kristianbrandt3012]

Yeah but this is a Maserati, not a BMW.

[@mindcrime2010]

90k $ only for the name and engine, the rest is worthless.

[@renaldonelson970]

So looks dont factor in for you as well? Road presence? The exhaust sound and adjustable sport exhaust is also worthless to you?

[@10293]

Renaldo Nelson They aren't THAT critical. Although if you did care about those things as much as it sounds like you do , this car is so incredibly beat.

[@ABen-wk4uj]

These are now used for about $30,000. Worth it.

[@spookyshark29]

Honestly it's worth it for 30k just like my Hyundai Genesis R-Spec 5.0 V8 that has 429 HP and goes 0-60 in 4.7 seconds.

[@ahmedxkhan]

@@spookyshark29lmao a hyundai🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@GuyPersonLol]

Front end looks similar to a 3-series.

[@waelal-zubieri5358]

That infotainment system has no place in a car of this caliber. It looks cheap and the design of the OS is something that you get in a car less than 1/4 of it's value. Open an Audi, or a BMW review and take a look of what a 60k+ German car infotainment system looks like. Apart from that, it looks great.

[@VelarOW]

+Wael Al-Zubieri Have to disagree with you, german systems exist in their whole lineup range and are almost all the same unless higher models are packaged with things the lower ones aren't. A4 has the same thing as an A8. 3 series? same as a 760LI with IDrive. this goes for most car brands though.

[@SuperUsername35]

The ghibli uses Chrysler parts, so it makes it feel "less luxury"

[@MrLalasd]

The only Chrysler it really has is the nav system. Transmission is ZF, Ferrari engine and a Mercedes E Class chassis.

[@adirianmercedes9510]

+MrLalasd The whole interior is chrysler

[@ampteknik7194]

Audi-like engine??? What??? which one???

[@KingSteazzy]

of course you are not going to fir if the seat is all the way back...

[@schxn]

The car is great but the back just looks like they got lazy.

[@thatwhitesq4]

I think it's fine. However when you are used to Subaru STI and how hideous the rear ends always are you find it attractive.

[@joshitheyoshi2533]

It looks like an Infiniti. And that's not a compliment.

[@-.-osas-san4399]

is it true that the ghibli can drive itselfs

[@thearousedeunuch]

No, it isn't.

[@0101Matrix0101]

Maserati Hillbilly what?

[@thewilliamjrful]

my dad might buy this car and it's just sad that the back looks like shit. The front tho...

[@JaredRosenholtz]

Tell your dad to get a Lexus gs350 fsport instead. Looks amazing and will hold its value unlike this car.

[@liamkwan5010]

how about CTS Vsport

[@JaredRosenholtz]

I just dont like Cadillac. They don't hold their value either and the new CTS is actually just as expensive as the German cars now which means there is no point in buying one anymore

[@JaredRosenholtz]

+TusM8, yeah. The new Lexus cars are really good.

[@Alumnikiid]

Why not just buy an M5...more power and rear legroom...might not be as prestige as ths car but i feel like i would get more car for the same price

[@gary_beniford]

Alumnikiid the M5 has no AWD though .but if you had the money for this car you probably would have enough left over for a winter car.

[@nature10879]

+Alumnikiid BMW 550 xDRIVE HAS 445 horse power and about the same lb of torque, similar price and probably better warranty, rear leg room is bigger than this and that v8 pulls hard. For 90 k you can get one fully loaded. The m5 is in a different league and it costs atleast 110k brand new with few upgrades. I think a 550x drive or even a Jag XF, Lexus GSF, Audi S6 and E class V8 4matic are the best competitor. Most of these cars dont have a maserati budge but may be more reliable and better warranty. I forgot to mention the CTS V sport, Its a pretty good car I hear!

with more practicality and reliablity but because if what it is right now, its a step in the right direction

[@mindcrime2010]

That screen is a joke :)

[@Jia1337]

Nice looking car, but since it is the first generation for Ghibli, I would skip it and skip its facelift. . . why? Because it is the worst in its category.

[@heinedenmark]

+Jia L. Have you driven it ?

[@Jia1337]

Yes, I've driven it. Does it matter other than bashing on how terrible it drives compared to its competition?

[@Smart1529]

fair enough but i wouldnt ignore Maserati as a whole, they only evolving as a luxury brand, give it some time. Its the same with Porsche a long time ago with their Cayenne SUV

[@vilenationgaming]

You can get that car fully loaded for 28k one year used.

[@chainfreelife6733]

Keep on dreaming!!!

***** Thanks bud, right back at ya.

[@mattkay7334]

***** Ok dude, I gave a one sentence opinion, and you're calling me a fan boy. You're "shouting" profanities and calling me every name under the sun because I prefer something different to what you prefer. I never said Maserati was bad, heck if I had the money I would love to own one, but I'm not that rich, and I prefer the styling and performance from new Cadillac's. Seriously buddy chill.

[@mattkay7334]

+lukedcify lol dont tell me about hard work, I work 10 hour days making close to $20 and hour, and im 18. You know why I dont really like European cars? They are all over priced for what you get.

[@mattkay7334]

+lukedcify Because GM is a multi billion dollar company and accounts for most of Americans car production, and provides tens of thousands of jobs. Believe it or not i work commision at a Benz dealer and the number of new or only slightly used cars coming through is outrageous.

[@GuestYouTubeUser]

This car is cheaply made. I only like the name and exterior looks.

[@thearousedeunuch]

And that engine.

[@ToyKingWonder]

Wow, what a wimpified performance car buying public we have become. This is a Maserati, and we find ourselves half way through this video before he talks about anything to do with performance. Few details of the engineering of the car are ever given, and we don't get some input on driving until the end. What do people seemingly care about? OMG, the nav system is also in a Dodge! How horrible! As if that does not happen in other car lines. Ever crawl under a Lexus and see how much is just plain jane Toyota? Oh, never mind. It's in a Dodge! Imagine a contemporary road tester of a 1965 Jaguar XKE complaining about how the radio light is insufficiently lit...what a pu$$y comment. Now, their defense may be is that this car sells to younger people who are "very into technology", and my response is, except for some aberrations, no young person can afford this car. And if you are highly technical, do you really care about how the CD goes in? Who is still using CDs in their cars? At least it's better than the other test video with the guy who won't stop mugging the camera and looks like he is 19.

[@sab0nes]

ToyKingWonder If you read the description Brian COoley is a tech guy, and CNET is a tech blog. His focus is on the car tech, not the performance. If you want a car review you are at the wrong channel. All of his videos are like this.

[@ToyKingWonder]

+NikoBell12 What this is, you absolute turd-smudge on the bottom of my workboot, is a youtube video that entitled: On the road​: 2014 Maserati Ghibli S Q4 Not "here we talk about the electronics of a Maserati". The descriptor of the video, you fudge packer, says Maserati's latest Ghibli marks a resurgence for the carmaker from being a rather obscure little cousin of Ferrari to a full-blown competitor to BMW, Audi, and Mercedes on the high end. Brian Cooley takes the third-generation Maserati Ghibli out for a test drive and checks the tech. TEST DRIVE. Get it? And I don't know who CENT is, you worthless sniveling idiot, CNET did the video. And if you are going to "test drive" a car, anyone with any common sense would think they are talking about the whole car. Now go f yourself.

[@ToyKingWonder]

+Mike Magnus Well if you think the CD slot and the radio knobs factor in a decision for a high performance car, you are exactly the kind of guy I am talking about. They make nice Honda Accords for people like you, so go enjoy that.

[@renaldonelson970]

excellent comment and i absolutely can not believe how much hate this car gets because of its FCA interior parts...who the f cares???? do the buttons work? does the screen work? does the interior look great? yes yes and yes. You are driving a maserati with amazing quad exhaust and are to 60 in under 5 secs for a 4100lb car...i cant believe how much hate this car gets

[@ToyKingWonder]

Renaldo Nelson Well you notice Renaldo that neither of those intellectual giants could give me a cogent reply. They likely have no idea what a Maserati is, its heritage, or anything about a high performance car. It likely scares them. Anything beyond a Hyundai scares them. You are absolutely right on all marks. Likely, these guys could not afford this car, or anything like it, don't have the knowledge to give any decent comments, they are armchair warriors weighing in on things they know nothing about. Hence their silence. Instead of taking a car like this up to the mountains for a great drive on winding roads with a beautiful woman and a picnic lunch, they are playing Grand Theft Auto or Pokemon Go on their phones, because they are "tech guys".

[@gurjotthind9194]
