Why I almost sold my 2016 Maserati Ghibli S

[@forgentlemen1st]

I feel for you. The Ghibli is the sweetest looking car on the road. But the alternative, in my eyes, is the 2018 Audi S5 Sportback. But this is based purely on aesthetics. I hope everything works out for you with your Ghibli.

[@rpo305]

Thanks for the love.

[@lahsiv]

I would go look at an Audi S6 or S7 or Mercedes C63 AMG. I would say Porsche Panamera but those can get up in price so quickly with all the options.

[@zuperkid93]

got so proud when I saw a black man behind the camera ✊✊

[@SoFloLuca]

Just picked up my ghibli.....coming out of my bmw 528 which bmw took back. It was in the shop constantly...stay with it bro. Grass isn’t always greener....

[@milangrozdanic3121]

If you have to sell the Ghibli then get the Giulia Quadrifoglio. I know it's hard to get but I think it is worth it, that is an amazing car.

[@romans9720]

In some states, there's a law saying if for any reason a car is in for service for more than 30 days, it's a lemon. You can get a free new car from the dealership.

[@discodave9815]

what state is that? abu dabbi?...certainly not here in america.

[@romans9720]

disco dave I heard in California they do that

[@renaldonelson970]

If you want to go german...look into the 6 series gran coupe..which in my opinion is the best looking 4 door car BMW has ever made. For MB..the CLS. For Audi...the S7. Ever considered a Cadillac CTSV? Also...does the humidity in FL possibly cause this warping issue?

[@VladanLukic]

Renaldo Nelson Really, you can not compare Ghibli with these cars. Maserati is class above... Cheers.

[@rpo305]

I would almost blame the weather but since my 2015 never had this issue, I'm not sure if that's the cause of it.

[@renaldonelson970]

@Vladan Lukic Yes I can compare those with the Ghibli because FCA/Maserati itself said when the Ghibli comes out it will compete with E-classes and 5-Series. 6-series gran coupe and CLS' are better than the aforementioned models. YES Maserati dominates Mercedes, BMW, and Audi in brand cachet but I am pretty sure RPO himself asked for German suggestions and the models I mentioned are in the same price range and are vehicles customers shop and test drive against each other.

[@AfrikanAssassin]

Renaldo Nelson you listed all my choices

[@Vietrasporti]

Keep it! No German car will give U the same driving sensations. Greetings from Italy. ;-)

[@sergioceja7642]

Vie&Trasporti no ghibli would ever beat a German.

[@Vietrasporti]

Sergio Ceja my premium German car broke down dramatically after only 327 kms. And it took them 2 months to repair it. And still it does not work properly. Actually is again at workshop

[@ArcticElephant]

I have a black 2017 Ghibli S Q4, the new touch screen interface is so much better than previous models. Ive had very little minor issues upon taking delivery. I have about 3k miles on it, I drive it in sports mode only haven't had major issues yet. Take a look at the new C63 amg s coupe or audi S5 or S6 similar price range. Your preference of 2dr or 4dr.

[@JasonLee-qn6mt]

Brian Liang I have the same year/model as yours, do you ever hear this metallic zinging sound as your gears shift (in automatic and sport mode, usually around 2nd-3rd gear shifts and 3rd-4th). Is that normal for Ghiblis cause I feel like it sounds unnatural but the service center says it's normal. When they gave me two different loaners that were base models, I didn't hear the same tones but I'm assuming that's cause of the smaller engine as well. Just want to make sure there's nothing wrong with a loose exhaust or something

[@ArcticElephant]

I saw this reply as soon as I go into my car just now. I tried to listen in between 2nd and 3rd and 3rd to 4th, I drove it in sports and non sports and manual and auto. I tested full throttle and without stomping on the gas in 2nd and gear I couldn't hear what you're trying to describe. The only noise I hear similar is the vibrating of the exhaust as I increase speed.

[@rpo305]

Hope you enjoy the car! The 2017 screens/interface are so much better. Really jealous. Yeah not sure whats up but Mercedes may be in the lineup.

[@sanadalamat1893]

[@ossy2k3]

The C Class Coupe is really sexy if you want a 2 door, and the upcoming E Class coupe too

[@davidef.8764]

Glad corporate stepped up to the plate and hope they find the source rather than just fixing it. Alfa would be cool too but it's a brand new platform. The Germans are cool and have good dealer support. You may be able to get a cheap ass lease on short wheel base Jaguar XJ

[@GODTHESOOTHSAYER1]

Read your contract; and, guarantees found within the documents that originated with the vehicle. You'll find that through your research what is covered and what is not. According to what you're saying, if true, you're not responsible for any payment at all that pertains to labor or parts. Therefore, I believe that management at the dealership is playing games with you, and ripping you off. Don't accept what they're telling you. Look at your documents for the truth.

[@flyingphoenix113]

I hope you find this post, rpo305, as I spent quite a lot of time on it. These are my thoughts having worked last year in the automotive industry. The Ghibli is really unique in that it is in-between the small and mid-size car (3 and 5-series, c-class and e-class, etc.) which makes it hard to find something directly comparable. In fact, the Julia is the only car that translates directly in terms of size. Before I go into the boring options, I'm going to throw out the idea of a used Aston Martin Rapide (the sedan). It's pricey to own, but if you can find a warranty like Doug DeMuro on his V8 Vantage, it would be a TRULY incredible car to own. Next, on to the more mundane cars. If you would be willing to go a bit larger in size, the Mercedes CLS 63 AMG, Jaguar XFR, Tesla Model S, Dodge Charger Hellcat, Cadillac CTS-V, BMW M6 Gran Coupe/Alpina B6, and Audi RS7/S7 are all worth considering. The Porsche Panamera is certainly an option, but they have two problems in the form of cost (much less horsepower per dollar with Porsche) and ugliness (subjective, I know, but the Panamera's looks are almost universally hated throughout the automotive world). If you're willing to go slightly smaller, there's the Mercedes C63 AMG, Jaguar XE(R?), Cadillac ATS-V, BMW M3, and Audi S4 (new RS4 is not yet out), but the compromise in rear leg and headroom may not be worth it to you if you find yourself using the back seat for passengers a lot.

[@rpo305]

Thank you so much for checking out the video and giving such a detailed response, I'm going to look into all of these and kinda see where I end up. I'll have to search some videos on KZbin to really find what I'd want and what makes sense for me. All good choices here though so thanks again!

[@cornelldaniel]

I own a 2014 Chrysler 300, I know it's own by FCA my 300 use to have rotors issues as well.

[@rcampbell4967]

I read all the comments on getting a Jaguar XF and have to say I've had problems with mine; some of them minor and some of them not. The dealer and Jaguar stood behind them eventually, but too much effort for the price tag.

[@AlfaEricWashDC]

Stop messing around and get that Alfa Romeo Giulia! Trust me, its worth it... #WeAreAlfisti

[@discodave9815]

garbage...without the name it would not even be a thought....

[@targaflorio3239]

I'd get out of it now RPO before the same issue happens again in six months time and you have to actually pay for it. Sounds like a defective car unfortunately. Highly recommend an Audi A5 Sportback or S5 Sportback if you can stretch that far. Had one myself. Great looks and rock solid reliability. An Alfa Romeo Giulia QV would be the best swap, but as with most Italian cars, requires a war chest set aside.

[@flyingphoenix113]

Sadly, the A5/S5 sportback won't arrive in the US until 2018. I hope he finds his way into a Giulia if he decides to sell his Ghibli S.

[@67claudius]

A real shame for this Maserati.... the next a Jaguar?

[@renaldonelson970]

Yeah good point. Jaguar standing behind their cars has improved greatly over the years..they even extended their warranty periods to show more confidence in the reliability of their cars. He could get an XF, fully loaded XE or XJ.

[@67claudius]

I know that with Maserati Extended Warranty you can extend the warranty coverage for Maserati Ghibli up to the 5th year without mileage limits. With this Ghibli he was unlucky, so the Jaguar seemed, for tradition and characteristics, the most similar brand.

[@flyingphoenix113]

But, they are still very different products. It's amazing how much of a Ghibli or Quattroporte is still assembled by hand (hence why it is so much more expensive for its relative size). At this point, Jaguar is practically fully automated. At least they've stuck to V8's and RWD.

[@benjova1]

I drive a Panamera 4S cheap service had it for 4 years love my car drive it daily. no issues.

[@2isadventures]

A Jaguar XF or The Alfa Romeo Giulia

[@JaeVoris]

yea auto manufacturers don't like to take responsibility. I had similar issue with BMW i called all the way to COrp. I ended up selling two of my cars and months later i get letters saying, its now a known problem and extended warranty will cover..ooops its sold. Ron, you should do a video into buying, financing and reality of buying a ghibili. you bought it new, how much did you pay, put down and monthly?

[@Ferrari360modenagtr]

very strange, I would recommend go after market pads. I swapped out OEM pads for ceramic brake pads. Not only it last longer, doesn't eat up rotors like OEM pads, the wheels stays clean with all the brake dust with just one drive.

[@rpo305]

Thats a really good investment, because black wheels and brake dust force me to clean those damn things every 3 days lol.

[@benjaminbomberg]

This is an interesting question. We're shopping for a similar car, although not at Maserati or Alfa since there's no dealer in Ottawa. Our short list is the Mercedes-Benz CLS550 4Matic and the Jaguar XF 35t Prestige. The Audi S6 is up there too. It's a very competitive class, and obviously, shop around and drive everything. Hopefully they deal with those brakes though!

[@kashmoneyyy25]

if you do keep the car blackout the chrome parts and add a cf spoiler if not go with mercedes c63s or bmw 550i which is going to be released in few months

[@androidnavigation]

I almost sold my mime for the Alfa Romeo Giulia.

[@pjwashington5818]

do it do it!!! Just make sure u get the quadrifoglio lol

Get another car .. that's wasting your money and the fact that they won't replace anything is a shame . There are other really nice luxury cars out there that are RELIABLE

[@GODTHESOOTHSAYER1]

Don't show your license plate. Hackers are everywhere.

[@renaldonelson970]

Isnt what is on a license plate just basic public information? The same info can be found in the white pages. Every single time anyone drives their car in the street...thousands of real people can instantly see their license plate anyway

[@GODTHESOOTHSAYER1]

Hackers could get much more from a plate than the average person could. They have access to all sorts of software. Yes, they could get it from the street cars that they pass every day if they choose to, but on the Internet the chances of them doing so is much greater.

[@thaddeuswagaba8042]

people can see plates but if they do not know you, there is no reason for them to stick their noses in your business but once they get to know who you are, then it becomes an issue. I agree with THE SHOOTHSAYER

[@getplaning]

2016 has a lot of hidden improvements. Wait 'till you drive a 2018. It's almost a different car.

[@apr1373]

damn man I hope you don't switch cars. even though I understand. I bought a used ghibli 2014 with 11900 miles and now I have 15700 miles and I haven't had any issues. I love the car like you. mine is a q4s fully equipped. I live in Miami. maybe we should hook up sometime. it sounds like your car has a defect from factory. don't give up on it yet.

[@rpo305]

Trying to keep faith, if you are in the area ever just let me know!

[@alijalali2096]

hey nice reviews as always!!! but you know this is not only you who is having a problem with the ghibli, i own one and i started having issues from the first day when i bought it as 0 mileage : 1) one of the speakers was malfunctioning so they had to replace it 2) then it was the drivers headrest which was loose for some reason 3) and then the door panels started to make weird noises while driving which never got fixed, 4) brake pads worn at 15,000 km (im not a fast driver at least with this car as i already owned a cls 63 before ) so yea... 5) then the watch in middle started to make noise and the list goes on and on the exhaust is making a weird squeaking noise when the car is idle which the company agreed it shouldnt be there but they cant do much about it My opinion is you go for E43 2017 its an amazing piece of machine especially having said that u never owned a merc , but if u wna spend more go for the E63 , if u want to stay in this range then the 43 is the choice

[@Sequel7]

Get a Porsche Panamera

[@flyingphoenix113]

ugh, BORING.

[@Sequel7]

flyingphoenix113 the Maserati already has three recalls within just a few months

[@flyingphoenix113]

Mark Joseph And your implication is that what, a Porsche Panamera will be any more reliable or cheaper to own? I'll set aside my subjective biases against Porsche as a whole in order to point out why the Panamera would be an objectively bad choice. Firstly, the Panamera has LUDICROUSLY high running costs. I should know. Three of some of my closest friends have owned them (key word, "owned") and they told the horror stories of Porsche servicing. From things as simple as oil changes and brake pad replacements to the major services, a Panamera would be as expensive or more so than the Ghibli. That leads me to reliability. After the IMS scandal of the early 00's and the relatively unheard of direct injection scandal of the late 00's (which was industry wide, not Porsche-specific like the IMS scandal), Porsche has greatly increased their service intervals to boost their JD power reliability ratings. It has worked. If serviced as frequently as Porsche recommends, it is unlikely you will ever have a problem. But, that would be expected, given that Porsche wants the car in the shop seemingly every other day to ensure that nothing goes wrong. It took working inside the VW/Audi group to find out, but after having done so, I will NEVER buy another Porsche product ever again.

[@Sequel7]

you will set aside your subjective biases against Porsche? and yet your write a long comment rambling on and on. weird. I'll take the high road. - Get a Porche Panamera

[@flyingphoenix113]

Mark Joseph I do that to point out SPECIFICALLY why the Panamera would be a bad choice. After all, bias is most often the root of misinformation. You, on the other hand, are yet to provide a SINGLE reason why the Panamera would be a good replacement. You have not taken the high road, you have taken the lazy road.

[@andrewbrown5636]

Love the Maserati as next car but you've put me off..Four door coupe? The best one out there is the 6 series BMW.. had the CLS Merc and s7 Audi, not a patch on the BM

[@jaa1015]

I have a 2014 Mercedes E350. It is not an exciting car, but I never had a single problem with it. I used to have an Audi A6. That was a fun, exciting car. It had a few issues. But My new Ghibli is more exciting than any of them.

[@rpo305]

Ghibli's do have an amazing driving experience for sure.

[@ibrahimj2760]

I have same problem. I have a gran turismo 2013, I put 35,000 miles on it with no issues. did my first break pads and rotors at 36,000 at the dealer and since then I went through 4 sets of new rotors and pads every 4000 miles. my dealer did the one replacement as a goodwill and I had to pay for the 3 other sets. called Maserati many times and they refuse to pay for anything and said it was wear and tear and until this moment I dont know whats wrong with the car and Maserati and the dealer blame my driving for it. such a shame!!

[@rpo305]

It sucks but I'm glad it's not just me. And a GT user at that. I really hope you find a fix for it because this should not be an issue and it is! Masi has to step up and help us troubleshoot the cause of this.

[@toshy]

You need new pads too! It wouldn't hurt to ask your dealer to clean the caliper pistons around the seals and bleed the brakes. Wait for the new Mercedes CLS (or CLE if the rumors are right). Or... get a Levante :)

[@rpo305]

Yeah but sadly they won't pay for pads, they said i'm on my own when it comes to those. Not letting them win by making me pay for this issue in any way. Def looking at Mercedes.

Men you got me scare now i been thinking buying a maserati

[@johnmeade1869]

Check out the 2017 Infiniti Q50 3.0t Red Sport 400... honestly it's has the most tech, the best bang for the money and it's very reliable. They offer 100K warranty and the maintenance is very cheap... sounds great, looks great and drives great. They also offer the red interior option. Just my opinion...

[@VladanLukic]

John Meade Hi, really, you can not compare Maserati with Infiniti

[@johnmeade1869]

Vladan Lukic not sure if you know that Mercedes and Nissan merged and and working together to build cars now. He won't have any issues with Infiniti compared to Maserati... plus he even said it's owned by dodge now... look at the steering wheel... same thing as a cheap charger... plus Infiniti has more power...

[@VladanLukic]

Yes, respect for Infiniti and quality is sure top notch. But for me, there is something magical about Maserati brand. The appearance of the steering wheel is not essential to me. Engine is built by Ferrari in Maranello. And that's all there is to say. I drove Ghibli for one hour and I'm delighted. Take a test drive... cheers

[@johnmeade1869]

I respect that.... its all good! I don't really promote any brand...just kinda comparing car for car for the same price range... not really caring about brand name...its all good...

[@flyingphoenix113]

Infinity and Mercedes agreed to do a joint investment on a plant in *drumroll please* MEXICO!!! That is not a merger and can barely be counted as an automotive partnership in this day and age. In terms of MEANINGFUL partnerships, Nissan and Renault recently partnered and now share platforms, drivetrains, electronics, and engineers........ oh boy........

[@mjdaniel00]

Brother sell the car asap. As per my comment in the prior video you posted i had the same issue. I just changed my brakes and rotors at 13k miles ($3,000). The Customer service person was really nice, but the company itself from a customer satisfaction standpoint is HORRIBLE / POOR. Worst car i've owned and very unreliable company (never again). Changing the brakes and rotors is not the problem but having to do it that often at that price is plain robbery and very inconsiderate on Maserati's part . The car drives really nice but all else is horrible and lacking vs. competitors. Looking to sell mine as we speak, i'm extremely disappointed. You made some very good points in your video, it's one thing to own the car and be able to make the payments, but be ready to start throwing away money on misc repairs... if you can't afford that don't buy it (fortunately for me i can, but like you, i'm not in the business of wasting money). Again my recommendation is to SELL ASAP. Go with the M version BMWs (M3, M4 or M5), Mercedes also came out with the new E class which is far more advanced in terms of technology than the Ghibli and they have two AMG options the E43 and the E63. I test drove the E43, same price range as the Ghibli and it blows it out of the water. Now that's a car!!!!! the Ghibli can't compare, not even 1 bit. My next purchase for sure (i can only imagine how much better the E63 is but you don't need all that if your satisfied with the Ghibli's performance). I've owned Mercedes before (my last car was the E coupe) Customer service is superior and the car is well built, had no issues whatsoever in 39 months (didn't even have to change tires). BMW customer service is also excellent. I have 3 close friends with Ghiblis, and we are all having a horrible experience... i don't like to bash anyone or any company but with all these people having similar issues the company needs to make things right or go back to the lab and perfect the car before they sell more crap.

[@rpo305]

Yeah I remember your issues as well and it sucks to hear that. You've also made some extremely good points on service and the competition out there. Gonna look up the E class right now. I had a 5 series Bimmer before this so Mercedes might be a new look for me. Thanks again on your recommendations and keep in touch! Hope you find something you love as well.

[@vdelrio999]

[@ViralTvlife]

Have another auto garage look at it . You must replace the brake pads every time you replace the rotors

[@willjames618]

It's a beautiful car. I would take it to a RACE shop or a brake and rotor specialists (europen), before you turn her in. Have them take a look at it etc. As for a similar car, I recommended bmw M6, M5, or M3, audi S7 or RS7, mercedes CLA 45, lexus IS-F and lastly the Tesla.

[@VladanLukic]

Will James But Maserati is a class above

[@willjames618]

What class are you targeting?

[@VladanLukic]

Something like Supercar brand, or close to Supercar brand :) for me, don't know to explain...

[@willjames618]

Plenty of car brands make super cars, such as Audi, lexus etc

[@Sdftlgirl06]

seriously!!!! I had the same issue with my Chrysler 300 convertible. I was literally spending thousand of dollars every 6 months for rotors. they could never tell me why it was happening. they would say it is wear and tear... well I sold the car and I have an Infiniti with NO ISSUES! SO sorry this has happened

[@rpo305]

Yikes, I'm hoping that's not what it will come down to with me!

[@Sdftlgirl06]

I hope not too. They actually stated that I must have been riding my breaks. I drove my previous car 80k before needing new breaks or rotors. It was the most frustrating thing ever!!!

[@fredsmith601]

Having watched almost all of your updates, in just about everyone you mention how much you love the car, and why not, it is stunning, even more so with the personal mods you have completed. It will be difficult to replace, in my opinion there is very little out there that offers the style, character and 'difference' that the Ghibli offers. Consider keeping the car long term, continue to love it and enjoy it's virtues at the same time continue the dialogue with Maserati (or the dealer) with a view to getting them to agree to a proper investigation, especially as your dealer has already stated it doesn't seem to happen to other Ghiblis in their care - just a thought!

[@rpo305]

A very good thought at that, I totally agree. Thanks Fred!

[@fredsmith601]

In fact, send them the video you created. The pain and disappointment is etched in your face coupled with your downbeat perspective. Send it to them, they might just get the message and help them consider the idea of valued customers and brand loyalty. Good luck....

[@rpo305]

Great idea and good point, thank you!

[@asatourianR]

it's a beautiful car but it's really not worth all the trouble. If it's not one thing, it's another. My boss let his Ghibli go due various issues. So he got sick of all the back and forth with the dealer. At the end he decided that the troubles outweighed the joy of driving it.

[@marcsmith3881]

That is a shame with a such a beautiful car. It is either a problem with the metallurgy of the rotors or the caliper. If it is the same rotors carried over from the 2015 model, then all it would take is a piston or 2 sticking on one side or the other in the 6 piston(front) caliper. This would cause uneven braking and heat distribution against the rotor. It is an expensive setup so they are not so quick to throw parts at it. I wouldn't recommended a Mercedes unless you are leasing it. As a former Mercedes Benz tech that has serviced every class at one time or another over a 16 year period, I personally wouldn't buy one. They are incredible when working properly and a nightmare when not. I recently did the brakes on a 2015 Ghibli S Q4 and I enjoyed driving it more than my customer's S63 AMG. The interior of the S63 is much nicer, but the car new was over 170K so it was to be expected. I think people like Mercedes because it is a status symbol. People make certain assumptions about Mercedes owners. With that said, you are experiencing minor problems compared to what I see with Mercedes vehicles. The Maserati's, from only 2 years of experience, seem to be much more reliable. I would buy a used Ghibli before I would an E or S class Mercedes.

Not sure about the re-design but the first new Ghibli model came out as a 2014.

[@TheDougSpot]

They say this is one of the worst cars to buy for the money

[@dove348]

I don't dude sounds like you have bad calipers I would have told them to check k the brake system before they put some more expensive rotors if it messed up two sets of rotors it's most likely going to warp the 3rd set my cousin replaced rotors twice on his car when I looked at it it was the caliper slide pins that seized of course it wasn't a Maserati but rotors don't go bad on their own overheating causes them to warp

[@philbar9882]

Love your vids thanks for honesty

[@rpo305]

Thanks, trying to keep it real.

[@downforceautosport5056]

I think you have defective car lemon car. Get AMG e63 S. I have 2015 sq4 and I have lots check engine issues engine misfire but Maserati has been standing behind my car issues. My local dealer shutdown last year and got out of Maserati sales and service that was a bummer for me.

[@disinque317]

After getting a new engine I had engine problem again in less than a month. Why post if you are not going to help....

[@disinque317]

I told you about my issues and you could had share your own pain with the car. Love the car but in 3 month of owning it I got a new engine in a month and engine problem again 3 weeks later. In 3 month of ownership I had it for a month

[@mjdaniel00]

horrible car. had a ton of issues with mine (had it for 1 1/2 years). most recently had to change breaks and rotors at 13k miles. get ready, that's $3k right there.

[@kayliu6248]

Hi there do you have any battery problem ? My disel ghibli has to charge like twice a week if not the battery will drain.

[@georgechaplain8906]

Kay Liu ours doesnt have that problem?

[@kayliu6248]

George Chaplain hi I've been told by the salesman that I have to drive this car 7km a day minimum, otherwise if the car sit in the garage more than 3 days the battery will dead , is this true ?

[@helloby791]

+Kay Liu probably has a big draw went it sits if you don't drive it a lot you should get a battery tender.

[@kayliu6248]

i only drive twice a week , should i change a new battery ?

[@rpo305]

I try to drive my every day even if its only a couple of miles. I'd try even just starting yours just to let it run, see if that makes a difference.

[@DanielRealTech]

I would highly suggest the BMW M3. great video btw.

[@rpo305]

M3 is a good choice if I went back to BMW for sure.

[@primary3093]

Between everyone having issues as soon as they buy these cars just get rid of it.

[@shawnjoo378]

how about GranTurisumo unless it has to be 4 door one?

[@rpo305]

4 doors, my girlfriend has a 6 year old. Don't want here stepping on the door panels or kicking the back of the seats haha.

[@carlpfeiffer77]

I'm getting dizzy with the last few videos i have watched from this guy. Endless circling around the car.

[@jay5566f4]

You need to get a Gran Turismo bro. Luckly, this shit never happen to me, it's a 6 years old car.

[@lrod2470]

lol.. new to your channel. But Bro, other Maserati owners were complaining about these cars. Why didnt you believe them based on your earlier vids?? My man just got one. I tried to warn him :( Nice channel. any updates??

[@cornelldaniel]

my buddy had a 08 Maserati Quattroporte, keep having window motors issues.

[@renaldonelson970]

He is lucky then. Those QP's are the least reliable cars in the world and if windows is the only problem he had then he made out like a bandit.

[@disinque317]

If I told you about my problems with my ghibli why didn't you share your story with the 2015. I told you my engine stop working ...

[@rpo305]

I had waste-gate issues but after I had them fixed I had no issues at all. I never shared that because it was my first time into the brand with my first month of ownership so I didnt know what to expect and if it was a common issue since it was a newer modeled car. Now since im 2 Ghibli's in i know what should and should not be acceptable and am sharing my experiences with everyone else.

[@GameZKanaal]

Buy the Giulia QV!!

[@jdmuscle1015]

Maybe another italian sport sedan like the alpha romeo guila.

[@Mr995pippo]

Take a Maserati Granturismo, older project, less problems

[@rpo305]

Tempted because i don't want to leave the brand.

[@michdubcyber]

an m6 gran coupe bmw would kill this

[@immarhasan1881]

Get a BMW 10x better car and comes with a bumper to bumper warranty 4 years 50k. Only thing you need to worry about are tires

[@voodoorob1839]

Jesus , buy a house . You live in Daytona, homes are dirt cheap in Fl. 300k buys you a pretty nice home there.

[@matthewdelcastillo2552]

If you decide to get with Mercedes try to get an amg like the s63. Go test drive some cars around and get a good feel of something other than Maserati👍

[@rpo305]

Might get my hand son one soon!

[@Guerra1301]

Buy the new 2017 mercedes E-class E43 4matic amg .

[@josephnicholson]

Get a Jaguar XF.

[@timblack1304]

Sadly , you got a Lemon..... :-( Dump It!

[@blackjesus2336]

GOOD WORK BRO!!!!

[@funlow425]

bro! you must get a Mercedes-Benz CLA AMG. they are economic, really fast, gorgeous with a msrp of $49k.... Oh and they sound amazing as well!

[@rpo305]

My thoughts exactly!

[@melaningod1865]

sad and I really like Maserati cars wow.

[@davidwilliams4648]

BENZ CLS63 2015/2019 HANDS DOWN 2ND TO NONE!!!!!

[@rolandsemien1697]

Another GREAT video

[@KF...]

What I don't understand is why you would get rid of a car you say you love because of a 2k issue........ Everything mechanical breaks, wears out over time, obviously there is a huge issue with your rotor/braking system..... Stop going to the dealer. There are plenty of after market companies who could sell you better rotors and brakes than what came with that car...... Formula Dynamics is just one. There are plenty others. And they cost the same as what the dealer wanted to charge you. I understand you bought an expensive vehicle, that is still under warranty, and you are trying to remedy this the best way possible. But this is some sort of design/engineering flaw. Why put up with the headaches of having to take it in every 5k miles even if they are paying. And from what you said in the video, I don't think they care to hear from you about this issue again. You had trouble getting them to foot the bill this last time. 3 sets of rotors in 11k miles is ridiculous, for a new car at Any price, not to mention one at 100k. If you want to switch it up as far as another make and model, fine. But if you plan on keeping that car for at least a couple of years upgrade your rotors and brakes.......

[@rpo305]

Good advice Kenneth, I plan on keeping it as long as possible. Was just a little frustrated and looking for other options and backup plans. I'll be doing my research these next few months for sure. Thanks for chiming in.

[@FallenExify]

Messed up!!! I'd be angry

[@CrazyGreek80]

It's a four door Fiat from what I am told.

[@princedito5764]

Ghibli 🔥 see mine next to your within a year

[@alvinbarrios2660]

I gotta be honest man that thing looks like a camry from the back. I still like the last gen quattroporte design better. Also that thing screams Chrysler parts with that infotainment center.

[@tomichaves6031]

2015-16 chevy ss

[@sergioceja7642]

Get an M5 nuff said
