All around great driving carb

Great driver car. Much better experience than the German competitors. For a big car, handles great. Sounds great in sport mode as well. Great styling.

The Ghibli gives you sharp Italian styling inside.

The Ghibli S Q4 is a more powerful engine, upgraded brakes, adaptive headlights with washers, automatic high beams, additional leather dash and door trim, four-way lumbar adjustments for the front seats and driver memory functions

Sweetness

I have never owned a vehicle that seems like it knows me. The Ghibli does. Other cars may be faster, more comfortable, more expensive, etc... But the combination of all factors makes the Ghibli an A+ choice. If you want to be more independent than the luxury competitors then here is your car. Bold and exotic while remaining affordable.

Very clean and very good condition for this car.

The Ghibli is wide and stable and will make haste through mountains with its 0.91 g?s worth of grip. Though the steering is old-school hydraulic, it blots out most road feel and has a relaxed ratio, so it?s not very aggressive. Its eagerness to return to center isn?t very strong, either, so on the expressway it doesn?t feel locked in a groove. You can go fast in a Ghibli and feel secure doing it, especially with the Q4?s four-wheel-drive system seamlessly handling changing traction conditions. But there isn?t as much pleasure in it as there should be. Especially since the suspension, lacking the $3110 Skyhook electronic-damping option, has the elasticity of nodular iron.

Glad I switched from a Bimmer

I've just owned the car for less than a month but it's the most satisfying car I've ever owned. I also drive an M3 convertible but nothing compares to the Ghibli. The sound is what you notice initially, then the convenience of the touch screen. No more I drives. The styling is unique and eye catching. It's just a thrill to drive.

Traded my Bimmer for a great Italian rocket

I've been a BMW owner for years. I've had at least 6 of them. M3's and 5 series. So I wanted something different for a change. I looked a several cars and finally the Maserati Ghibli caught my eye. I drove a couple different used ones and feel in love. I traded my 2016 BMW for a 2016 Ghibli. What a great car. Style that catches you eye. Performance that sets you back and just crazy fun to drive. I've only had it a short time but the only little item I can complain about is the little size of the cup holders. They don't hold water bottles only soda cans. A very little irritation compared to the fun of driving. My only concern is the battery drain that I've read about. The battery dies after a very short period of non use has been reported in many Maserati's. Italians never let function interfer with style. Keeping my fingers crossed. It's still an unbelievable machine.

More about the driving thrill than decor frills

This car has lots of power and highly manoeuvrable. Nimble to the feet. The throaty exhaust notes are the highlight. I was however disappointed in the closing of the doors. That "thudd" kind of closing wasn't there and the absence of bells and whistles in the inside. for a car of the amount, it appeared blad inside. Then the front grill was plasticky and not solid... I'd recommend it for the car enthusiast who is about power and the thrill of driving as opposed to comfort, space and finishing.

The best car I have ever owned

The best car I have owned till date. I first heard the vroom of the engine on the maserati site and I instantly fell in love with it. I love driving it. And when I look at it, no matter how many times I have said this to myself, I can't help but tell say yet again ... "What a gorgeous car!!!".

Fun car lousy

really fun car to drive.. Hurt my back and there is a lump on the bottom portion of the seat that can not be eliminated and it presses right on my injured area. Having to sell car due to this. The worst thing about the car is the resale .. It is absolutely horrible... I have only had the car 10 months with just over 7000 mikes and it has lost over 20,000 in value.. Even the dealer didn't want to give me anything for it . The car is flawless and still under warranty and still has terrible resale.. Would never have another one , Not because it not a fun car. But because I wouldn't want to lose a fortune if I went to sell it..
