I enjoyed my Ghibli S. Did a couple of European trips in it and found it hugely comfortable and an effortless drive, always plenty of poke on tap. Yes they are expensive to run but you shouldn’t expect anything else.
A new kid on the block trying to penetrate an established market is never an easy task, and Maserati's lords and masters didn't do the brand any favours; claims of warranty knock-backs from owners and stock demands for dealers didn't help, especially with the prices being asked for the cars. That said, a lot of cr@p is talked about Maserati by folk who have never owned one and never will; A 'car buff' once asked me why I bought the 3200 when, according to him, they had to be main dealer serviced every 3 months - and he said they ate clutches! Likewise, tales of reliability issues get exaggerated by rumour and internet chat, and it takes only one jaundiced reviewer to blight a brand.I am not so sure on you shouldn’t expect anything else around the expensive to run. Maserati was aiming this car at BMW, Mercedes, Jaguar etc and the company car market and I remember the adverts for it as a company car but with the service costs of even the diesel it was never going to make any kind of dent in any of the markets as they are silly money to service compared to the others in the class. I looked into a diesel for my commute but with a minimum of £600 a service and then parts price and it made no sense when the equivalent Mercedes/BMW service started at half that. Maserati doomed this model from the start as always with there greedy after sales prices.

The Maserati gods haven't done the brand any favours over the years, but it does look as though they now value its pedigree and its potential, hence the MC20 and Folgore. Meanwhile, Maseratis of the last 20 years can be a joy to own; they don't need to be garage queens, just cared for, and it doesn't matter which model you own as the trident gives membership of a rather exclusive and very underrated club.

YouTube is good for watching Bowie vids. And that's about it, far as I'm concerned. Too many "personalities" with too many "platforms" pursuing too many "clicks." I don't need hot takes on Atilla the Hun, or D-III college football recruits, or the best flavors of ice cream.
Didn't someone also post something about this guy prattling on about @RoaryRati or was that a different YouTool?
Why Women Kill?YT is for watching funny clips from TV shows that are on the wrong platforms, like Ted Lasso or Why Women Kill.
