20,000 Mile Maserati Ghibli Ownership Review

[@JamesDIYGarage]

I have 58.8K miles on my 2014 S Q4. NO issues. I will do a video with mine this month and tag you. I've had it for 6 months now.

[@RonsRides]

I'll be looking for it James!

[@jerrodzha843]

they unreliable as hell dawg

[@JamesDIYGarage]

@@jerrodzha843 You speaking from the experience of ownership or hearsay? Mine now has 80K miles on it, no problems at all. Its been a great daily driver for me.

[@jerrodzha843]

@@JamesDIYGarage I bought a gran Turismo 3 years ago and it broke down on my way back home. But it good your ain't breaking

[@Legendz167]

@@jerrodzha843 lol... yea, ok!! 🤣

[@aaronhussain3873]

Well it's inspiring to see a Maserati owner exceed 20k in such a short space of time! My family's Mercedes has clocked up just over 22k in the space of nearly 10 years - and even that is used everyday!

[@RonsRides]

Omg lol, they are not living life and enjoying that car. That or everything is within walking distance haha.

[@qisrice685]

Aaron Hussain dam I got a 09 c350 190k miles still pushes never the less

[@numbereightyseven]

Vid starts at 11:25 - maybe...

[@official88beats]

Im buying a 2017 after we close on our house. White pearl, black rims, same interior except brown and black. 👌 love these cars and SUPER cheap for maintenance.

[@grahamjones2223]

I love the sound of the exhaust!

[@Theskypriest]

Thanx for the video fam, im so undecided about getting another car. I just want one to show up on my lawn ill take it.

[@tombull5038]

Great job Ron keep up the good work buddy.

[@RonsRides]

Thanks Tom!

[@RootBeerGMT]

Ron-you should review some of the 2003-2006 CC Maserati’s. Those were the last of the hand built Maserati’s.

[@Lookout4the3rdrail]

Real nice whip homie Congratulations on it Looks Sharp. 👍🏾

[@drillzkb]

I seen you in that car in Daytona on Thursday cursing for the beginning of bike week. It sounds good and looks good. Nice red interior.

[@RonsRides]

Haha yup I was out there! That's what up, sorry I didnt get to stop and say hi!

[@jakejhons5138]

I just bought a Granturismo Sport. She is a head turner for sure.

[@RonsRides]

Oh its gotta be, jealous!

[@dudeseriously57]

You work for a dealership so your option is biased whether intentional or not. The only impressive things about my Ghibli were the engine sounds or I should say the muffler sounds and the Maserati name. I commend you for making some good Ghibli videos over the years.

[@seanoh432]

Ron! how do you deal with the squeaking breaks? it started at 15k miles.

[@huey1153]

This better be a joke...

[@dudeseriously57]

Replace them at the cost of $3000. That's what the dealer in Sterling VA told me. I sold my Ghibli the next month. Good riddance.

[@charlieryan1736]

Beautiful Maserati 🇮🇹👌🏻

[@foreignclout]

Awesome video beautiful car

[@RonsRides]

Thank you so very much.

[@leetronix]

So you did not sell it in the end?

[@fredsmith601]

Your car looks great, I love how Maserati have copied your idea by making the front lower valence black on the new Gransport models. Still looks brand new, testament to how well it is made and how well you look after it. Hope you get to keep it for another 20k, enjoyed the vid and the insight, thanks Ron....

[@RonsRides]

Thanks Fred! Trying to keep the car looking as fresh as possible during my duration of ownership! The 2018 models are sure making it hard haha. Cheers to another 2 years!

[@elmaravilla]

Fred Smith k DKkzixiz

[@zbib43]

From what I’ve seen the Ghibli has improved every year since 2014, I just might be looking into a 2018 or 2019 one sometime next year 🤔

[@RonsRides]

You're so right, its only gotten better, you should totally look into the newer models!

[@danieltoro8717]

What are your thoughts on the loaners that have around 5-9k miles and they sell it as new since miles are so low and not registered.?

[@ridgarcia13]

Awesome review thanks! How is the bumper clearance? I've had a lot of trouble with driving up and down driveways in the past with other sports cars.

[@chrisarguello1170]

I’m worried about maintenance costs. I see 2015s going for $30K

[@RonsRides]

Yeah good old Maserati depreciation. But if you buy one used, you get an extra two years added on to the warranty with unlimited miles. SO thats always a plus.

[@chrisarguello1170]

Rons Rides have you ever had a warranty issue? I read in a forum that a dealership didn’t honor the warranty repairs. And they have strict guidelines to maintain your warranty. Such as, all oil changes must be at a dealership. Is this true?

[@cjjordanmia]

w up Ron getting ready to sell my Benz going back to a maserati love your videos I'll post a video of her before I sell her

[@RonsRides]

Please do and let me know so I can check her out before shes sold!

[@supercarinsider9284]

I am looking at purchasing a Ghibli, what kind of attention does it draw? I know Ferrari's and Lamborghini's sometimes provoke the wrong attention; is this the same with the Maserati Ghibli?

[@nicholaslee633]

Supercar Insider lol why care? And it certainly won’t be as outstanding as a Lambo or Ferrari. The only attention you get is some random ass commenting that it looks like a Kia. But there’s some truth to that

[@RonsRides]

A lot of attention you'll get is either car guys wanting to race you. Or women and children/teens gawking over the car. Doesnt appeal to much to older gentlemen I feel. But no one will think you're stuck up or anything as most see Ferrari owners.

[@godbez664]

That tag is too funny 😆

[@RonsRides]

LOL just speakings facts

[@robl3415]

All good info Ron as always. What kind of all seasons do you see people running?

[@RonsRides]

Thanks Rob. Normally its pirelli all seasons. My first set of tires were on my 2015. I think my 2016 came with the summer tires and then I just got another set and will probably continue to do so. They've been good to me.

[@grouikr7742]

Perfect vidéo as usual

[@RonsRides]

=)))

[@NordicJord]

How much is maintenance when it's due?

[@tasosloukos909]

Hey nice video there. Just wanted to ask, how do feel about the infotainment system after two years of using it? Also what about the steering in general both in summer conditions but also in winter.

[@RonsRides]

The infotainment is okay but the MTC that is in the 2017-18 models is a much better looking/performing system. Wish I could retrofit it to mine. Steering is fine for me. Could be a bit more responsive after driving the Alfa Romeo Giulia. You can tell the difference between the two thats for sure.

[@steves.922]

Nice ride, Ron!

[@GrzegorzZab]

Ron as always great! BTW really nice and good looking car.

[@RonsRides]

Thank you, thank you!

[@aleembhatti5864]

Where would you recommend buying Maserati Brakes and rotors from instead of the dealership?

[@RonsRides]

You can order authentic Maserati parts from eBay to be honest.

[@christopherazarias9372]

Nice....keep up the good job!!

[@RonsRides]

Thanks Chris!

[@steves.922]

Those scratches can be polished out, Ron. That is a DYI project or a detailer can do it.

[@RonsRides]

I may have my dealer do it for me!

[@SimpleMacReviews]

Hey man was the top roof part always black? or did you get that wrapped as well. We are looking at one in blue and its not black, is it a different package? Thanks! Been watching your videos for a while and brainwashed me to get a Ghibli haha

[@SimpleMacReviews]

How much did it cost to make your rims gloss black from the dealership?

[@RonsRides]

Glad you like the videos Azfar! I had my roof wrapped as well! Looks a lot better that way in my opinion =)

[@neoroman0510]

Such a beautiful car, Ron! I saw one on my way home today too - and I'm trying to focus on my own beauty, the Alfa Romeo Giulia Ti (Veloce as we call it in Europe) coming in a month's time or so! But I can easily see myself stepping up from that one to a Maserati Ghibli with 424 HP next time I buy a car! What do you think, would I miss anything coming from the Alfa Romeo Giulia Ti? Thank you for great content! :)

[@RonsRides]

Thanks for the compliments Neo! And man thats tough! They are two different types of cars. You'd miss the steering response. I think the Giulia does a much better job at that. Also the Giulia rides really smooth. The Ghibli driving experience with the sound coming out of that exhaust is a lot more raw. You'll feel it in your drives. Other than that, the rest of perspective as far as looks go.

[@rylieacuna6011]

What do you do for a living to drive a car like that? That car is my dream car and maybe you can give me tips to be able to buy that car

[@RonsRides]

I have a few sources of income. One being youtube, another is sales/marketing specialist and web management and development. Glad you love the car! Best advice I could give is work hard, stay disciplined and live within your means. All of these things will allow you to save money/build wealth for the things you desire later on in life.

[@JaeVoris]

Ron, i drive one car through and through, winter, summer etc. I drive to Canada, Fl etc. Can a 16 ghibili handle that much driving?

[@RonsRides]

I believe it can, I've seen Ghibli's with way more miles than mine. Being V6's the engines are built for mileage and the ZF trans is built to last and perform. I think you'll be just fine.

[@forsight1631]

For a mod in the back, I would just say a Maserati logo above the name would be enough.

[@dontleaveamessage]

The service costs still are cheaper than my 428i wow.

[@offradar31]

Do you plan to change to paint color to satin or matte?

[@RonsRides]

Maybe down the line. I was thinking like a dark satin grey. Thoughts?

[@offradar31]

Rons Rides nice choice got to make it break some necks

[@christopherazarias9372]

Add the lip spoiler...

[@paolo4739]

Hi, Maserati should be give a new Ghibli to you only for the passion that you talk about Maserati. Thanks for your video.

[@RonsRides]

I would TOALLY be okay with that! =)

[@calipachanguero]

That plate is hilarious

[@RonsRides]

Lol thanks!

[@jonathangibson6939]

Anyone know if this has an aftermarket exhaust on it ? Or was that Rev just stock in sports mode ?

[@RonsRides]

My exhaust is stock =)

[@jonathangibson6939]

Thx Ron. Sounds beautiful. Love ur content 2

[@nashdrifter3629]

Happy 20k my man. Nice car but tell me about your timepiece. I have the same wrist strap I believe. Ha, thanks and safe travels.

[@RonsRides]

Thanks John! And haha gotta love the Movado watches. I have the Movado Bold Black Museum Dial. love it. Super chill but classy.

[@Shawshank_7]

Still looks beautiful! Still catches my eye, although i do wonder how much it is now worth (estimate)

[@RonsRides]

I dont even want to know...lol. Not enough.

[@official88beats]

They depreciate faster than almost every car lol. Thats is why you wait a few years and buy them used. Found one with 28,000 miles, 1 owner always serviced for $29,000.

[@djbrianc]

My Bella will be two years old this May. I have 17695 miles so far. I don’t even daily it lol how? Those weekend trips are adding up. 😀

[@RonsRides]

Haha nothing wrong with that, you're enjoying her and using her like you're supposed to! The only reason why I don't drive more is because of my lack of time.

[@tombull5038]

Ron can you review the rear view mirror?

[@R.London]

How's the harman kardon audio?

[@RonsRides]

Its great! Better than the standard speakers I had in my 2015 for sure!

[@AfricaAuddyTechCars]

Maserati needs to do the decade old Autoweek article in which both Audi and Maserati were to have vehicles. Such as a D3 Audi A8 rear wheel drive S-Class rivaling coupe. The SUV concept at the time would've been D3 Audi A8 based. W planned world-wide Maserati/Audi or Audi/Maserati showrooms. Porsche blocked the eventual deal. So the lame sounding RS5, RS4 Avant, S6, S6 Avant, S7 Sportback engine would've been a sonorous Ferrari derived power plant as in use now w Maserati. Had to get that off my mind.

[@RonsRides]

Haha no problem, vent away. If anything these videos are an outlet for you to do so.

[@gaffle-411]

Doug DeMuro shatted on this car.

[@Me-Apesta-El-Rifle]

Fr lmao

[@MrStromboli]

You spent $350 on an oil/filter change?

[@RonsRides]

Thats pretty typical for these types of cars. Its actually more expensive if you go to the Ferrari Maserati dealership because you're paying Ferrari labor.

[@MrStromboli]

Rons Rides it's a scam. It's simple to do yourself. Just don't overfill the oil...

[@penguiz23]

Seriously this guy is fucking insane even on a Ghibli you can get an oil change done for just around $100.

[@ridgarcia13]

If you don't do it at the dealer your warranty is no longer valid

[@bmx687]

Love the license plate lol

[@game_army4183]

Hey man! What do you do for living?

[@RonsRides]

I manage and develop websites with my two business partners, I also do sales and marketing at Maserati Alfa Romeo of Daytona.

[@dannybattick4292]

And you still pay 350 for an oil and filter change?

[@nathanofftopic]

Ah yes the Chrysler 300 with body kit. Modern Maserati's are owed by the same people who think the Olive garden is authentic Italian. Not a bad car but just not an authentic Italian one. It not hand made in a Giovanni's work shop. In stead they just grab off the shelf parts, chrysler v6, ZF transmission, and 300/Mercedes E class chassis.

[@jtkornichuk1034]

How did he only drive 20k miles in 2 years?

[@RonsRides]

Haha just worked from home a majority of the time.

[@KpopNiDontStop]

what the how did the windows crack?

[@RonsRides]

My clumsy tinter lol.

[@noodletitan9086]

Let me buy it when you move on!

[@3d_Ink_Oficial]

Damn this beast sounds so healthy And Ron please, see if you can find out about how much it coats the 3 year service please

[@RonsRides]

I need to find out because that will be my big service next year!

[@3d_Ink_Oficial]

Rons Rides thanks Ron...

[@duckie8126]

wrap the door handles

[@RonsRides]

In white to match the paint or in black?

[@ItachiUchiha-xk1fr]

Rons Rides black daaah 🔥🔥🔥

[@sensei1NTBFW]

Morning Ron Good video 👍🏽 can you do the same kind of thing for a Alfa Giulia Q.V. 2 years say 20K miles ownership pro cons and cost.

[@RonsRides]

I'd have to own it to give you a decent insight but I'll def see what I can do =)

[@tropicalvevo1094]

I like this car so much but I'm afraid to buy it used😫

[@RonsRides]

If it has Maserati's certified pr-owned warranty, you get an additional 2 years plus unlimited miles. Check out my video on it.

[@ecomwithTrevor]

I like the license plate

[@Auxqy]

Trevor lmao

[@cammedramprocharged4927]

Dope

[@RonsRides]

Thank you!

[@allthingsinteresting6546]

Out of all the cars you can buy why would you spend that amount of money on a ghibli

[@allthingsinteresting6546]

@john vento because its italian means its prestigious lol the cars been proved to be unreliable and in all honesty junk dont get mad just accept it its just a car

[@allthingsinteresting6546]

@john vento you know nothing about cars dont lose your phone in the gaps in the doors lol

[@AlexAquarius963]

Do women say hi?

[@Rehvuhlation]

FUCK IM SOOOO JEALOUS! LOVE HER FOR ME!

[@stevenhaas9622]

Do black badges on the back

[@RonsRides]

I thought about it, just wasnt sure if I wanted to cover up all of the chrome.

[@CommonSenseDude2121]

ghibli owners (((((((( How much compliment from people do you guys get ? And also does girls look at you more? hehe just asking .

[@RonsRides]

Speaking for myself, the car gets tons of compliments and pictures. People enjoy the car because of what it is and the sound is a head turner. As far as girls go, I think most can agree with me when I say it attracts more guys than ladies lol.

[@CommonSenseDude2121]

lol. gotcha . by the way is there any maserati or ghibli club or do they hang out somewere to join ones i get my ghibli for the dealer ?

[@richardtomasetti9766]

Its a known fact that these cars are unreliable. I would avoid buying one.

[@TheNamesMagoo]

Dead pedal delete

[@georgevnewman]

Italians know how to paint? 😂 Honestly I haven't seen 2018 models yet but shopping around last year their dark paints (black and blue) were horrible orange peel type of paint job. So cheap and disappointing.

[@RonsRides]

Where they pearl as this one is? Or were the black in blues standard or were they metallic.

[@DJSameezy]

Burnout video in 1k miles!!!!!!!!!!

[@RonsRides]

Exactly! Haha you know it!

[@bnastali]

20K...worth 20K+?

[@RonsRides]

Dollar amount wise, $50k if you want a realistic answer.

[@3d_Ink_Oficial]

Rons Rides that’s what I paid for mine 2014 with 17k miles 5 months ago But does have the luxury package like yours with red interior black ceiling Same color as yours outside Looks killer

[@gcopp81]

Prob. one of those clean freak guys. terribly made car.

This joints cheap asf!

Well im having fun driving it!
