    Great car! Can't wait to

    With over 40K miles, my Ghibli SQ4 is still running super smooth. Love this car...both styling and driving. No significant mechanical issues. I did run into a "turbo under-boost" code this year, but it was related to a worn seal in one of the duct(?) tubes. Anyhow, it was a $350 job via an honest local mechanic (not a dealer). In terms of driver technology engagement, the '16 Ghibli isn't perfect and I wish it was more tech-forward features. However, this would not have dissuaded me from buying the car. :) My wife's 2015 BMW 5-Series doesn't have Apple CarPlay either...but we survive.

    Feels great to drive.

    The car is fun to drive and seems to be a good value. I'll check back in a year and tell you what the incidence of repair has been. For now, I love it.

    Ferrari Engine in Sport Mode

    Wow! Went to buy a Jaguar and came home with a Maserati. I intended to purchase the Jag until a Maserati grumbled by on the lot. Test drove the Ghibli and purchased a used one. Got a three year old certified SQ4 with the extra warranty for about a third of what a new one lists on the window sticker. The Ferrari sound track, the power, and the responsiveness are outstanding. I even rooted for the Ferrari's to win in the Ford vs Ferrari movie! That is how impressed I am. That said, it is great on the highway, very solid and confident. No maintenance issues in the first 7 months...although the yearly service costs will take your breath away. Will definitely purchase another one when the warranty on this one expires in 2022.

    The Funnest 4-door Performance Car I've Ever Owned

    The car is reliable! Plus, it sounds great (especially in sport mode), while the twin turbo V6 (generating over 400 HP) combined with the 8-speed transmission delivers a genuine drivers experience. This car has a lot of get up & go!

    Nice car!

    It has meeted and exceeded what I wanted in a car, buying used, must be careful! I bought from Prestige auto mall in OH and after receiving I learned it was an auction car and was homed on the east coast. I have nothing against the east coast, my car was heavily packed with salt on the engine and undercarriage, resulting in some premature rusting. Also do your homework on the cost to maintain these cars! All in all I love the car and it makes traveling so much better!
