Italian style & luxury surpasses the Germans

2016 Maserati Ghibli S Q4 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8A)

The car is fast, luxurious, stylish and is an eye catcher that Germans cannot compete with. The engine is Ferrari and sounds fantastic! This is a wonderful car and feels like you are actually driving with passion!

Very nice luxury sports sedan

I have owned this car for about 6 months and have driven it just under 6,000 miles. I have driven a Porsche Panamera for about 120 miles. Both cars are excellent and a blast to drive. The Maserati Ghibli is not quite as responsive as the Porsche Panamera, but it has a softer ride and nicer interior. The navigation is the best I have ever used, very user friendly; you don't have to read the intruction to use, it is that intuitive!!!!! I do not understand the complaints by reviewers about the shared Chrysler knobs and similar navigation system. None of the other manufacturers (Mercedes Benz, BMW, Audi, or Porsche) use significantly better knobs and most have less intuitive navigation systems that require one to at least read part of the instructions. If your only compliant are the knobs and the easy-to-use navigation unit, then I would say, it is a great sports sedan. I chose the Maserati Ghibli over the Porsche Panamera mainly because of the price for two very comparable cars; these 2 luxury sports sedans stand out from the others in style and driving performance on windy roads. Don't believe the reviews, drive it for yourself and experience the Ghibli or the Quatroporte. If you like to drive spirited, then you will love the Maderati Ghibli, the Quatroporte Q4 and the Porsche Panamera 4/4S. The others luxury sports sedans just aren't the same, even though they are nice, just not as exciting.

Don't buy it

It's been a year since I leased it. I visited the dealership 7-8 times because of a rattle noise in the rear door that they couldn't find out the problem and after all that they ordered a new door panel from the manufacturer. Recently, I heard a cracking noise in the engine. I took it again to the dealership and guess what!!!! They have to replace the engine!!!!! The car has been there for 25 days now and still not completed. I don't recommend Maserati at all.

I have a 2017 Maserati Ghibli Sq4 which I love but be careful with the warranty. After 6 months out of warranty the dashboard material on the pass. side started peeling up. I contacted customer care and they told me they won't cover the defect which I read on a Maserati forum is common on these cars. I was looking to get a Grandturismo but I won't be doing that no more. Its a shame because I do love the car but they don't stand by their workmanship. If it is a mechanical issue that is fully understood that I'm responsible but material shouldn't be ripping up in under 5 years.

I fell in love w/beautiful cars when I was about 7yrs old---I saw a Jaguar (now knowing it was a 1960's GType). My love of unique & beautifully crafted & designed cars has remained --The 2015 MASERATI GHIBILI SQ4 AWD is a dream to drive and look at Handling, road contact, braking, steering, and "Get-up-n-GOOooo" are Extraordinary, superlative, and just damn fun My only complaint so far: People ALWAYS wanting to race! But, I don't need to prove anything (else)...unless I am in the mood & compelled to school him/her 💕
