No need to censor anyone, it is just that I have been following Maserati threads for the past several years and the same forum members (who clearly have no interest in hacking a Maserati lease) keep showing up in each and every Maserati thread to bash the brand. Not a capital offense, just not how I would use my time on line.

at least one mod realizes the brand haters/ condescending attitude on the threads.
This forum is filled with brand loyalists and âdeal loyalists,â go look at every pickup truck thread⌠all you see is tundra and tacoma being thrown around when people are asking for evaluation on ram, f150, and sierra/silverado deals. Same thing as on this thread, the guy likes the ghibli stop bringing up the m550 he clearly doesnât want one.

Heavy, unresponsive and lacks steering feel? Sounds just like my Jag lol. On a serious note, I wasnât expecting a sports car. FWIW, I have driven both a Ghibli and an M550i. While the M550i is faster and has higher overall limits, the smaller footprint of the Ghibli is noticeable.
Insurance deductible for windshield is $1000. Part is ~2000-2300ish.
The brakes/rotors were 1800-ish, oil change + filters was $900, tires (pzero super sports) were $1400sh. Staggered tires cannot be rotated and the weight of the car wears them fast. They also wear on the insides due to the alignment (from what I know). This is all off the top of my head. I didnât buy the maintenance package. lol.
Tommy and I had similar experiences. Not saying the Ghibli is a bad car. I enjoyed mine, just didnât get another.
All jag sedans with v6s that I have driven have driven pretty nice. They had other issues that i didnât like.

I havenât driven either car, but the Ghibli isnât smaller is any dimension, except for height (by < 1 in). The Ghibli is longer and equally wide (subtracting the mirrors, a few inches wider, actually).
People will hate whatever you have, my wife loves them, sheâs on her second Ghibli and will be getting a GT next. For her it makes her feel special and thatâs all that matters, not my cup of tea but if we all liked the same thing we would all be driving the same cars.

If my eyes donât deceive me, then you yourself have excellent taste. MK7.5 Golf R in the reflection?
