I’ve decided to just start making up random facts and see if one day a Maserati hater tells me a fact I made up once lol

Se me ha quedado en un Levante 2023 medio trabada la ventanilla central deslizante portaobjetos en el salpicadero.

A alguien le ha pasado? Hay solución?.

Muchas gracias

ac vent broken like this. anyone know how to replace/repair? seems tricky might have to open up the dash not sure how hard is it?
it's a cpo but dealer said it's broken by "external factor" and not covered by warranty and wanted $500+ to fix it...

This one is special:
Fuoriserie paint Grigio Lamiera Matte with Corse Red accents. Only 75 made, 50 for the North American market
Available at Valenti Maserati

I was down in Los Angeles for a weekend and figured there’s no better time to rent one of my long time dream cars! A Maserati Granturismo. Specifically the 2015 MC. Ever since seeing one at a cars and coffee as a kid I knew I had to drive one. I had high hopes for this car and it definitely did not let me down. I’ll admit I’ve heard a lot of horror stories about Maseratis reliability, which is why I chose to rent one first before I actually pull the trigger and purchase one for myself.

The first thing I noticed upon arriving at the car was the seriously sticky interior. Maybe it’s just due to this one being a rental and “rode hard and put away wet” per se but more than just the commonly talked about “sticky buttons” welcomed me. The dashboard and leather trim was just for lack of better words, goopy. I’d run my fingers over the dash or the switches and be left with black residue on them. And the wear on the leather and other trim pieces really shocked me, being the car only had 57 thousand miles. Was this specific vehicle just abused or is the quality of Maserati/Stellantis vehicles really that abysmal? But being that I drive old Lincoln’s with 250k miles, a bit of wear did not bother me.

And the driving experience absolutely made up for the subpar interior quality. I was afraid it would be one of those “never meet your heros” moments but the Ferrari derived v8 really gave me more than enough power to have some fun with, especially once it hit the power band just right, it absolutely put me back in the drivers seat. We took it out to the canyons and it felt very planted going around sharp corners, with a bit of understeer at a couple points. Although heavy acceleration was also met with a slight burning smell and extremely loud engine fans, despite constant checking of the temp gauges and normal levels. Me and my partner theorized the smell could have been a burn off of carbon from the car not being pushed for quite some time, yet it came back again and again over the weekend. The fans we had no excuse for, just slightly louder than normal. I much preferred the freeway cruises. Effortlessly stood at 80-85 without even hesitating. In the city it preformed ok, seemed a bit jerky at times, especially if I forgot to take it out of sport mode which was to be expected.

As for the driving position, it’s definitely not a car meant for short people. I’m 5’4 and wasn’t able to adjust the seat to be 100% comfortably positioned. Speaking of the seat controls, I wasn’t a huge fan of where they were located. The position I rest my left leg in, kept bumping them and accidentally moving the seat. And tech and Audio options, I won’t even start on those. I gave up on the seriously laughably outdated infotainment system. The speakers were blown in the rear (again I’ll put that up to being a used and abused rental car), on the freeway I couldn’t tell if the speaker was blown or if it was my exhaust popping. I eventually realized the speakers were definitely blown.

I could go on and on about the driving experience but no one wants to read all that. Don’t listen to my complaints, it’s a rental, I’m sure a personal vehicle will be in a lot better shape. Overall I absolutely LOVED the car and the fun I had mostly made up for the outdated tech and sticky interior.

TLDR: Sticky cheap feeling interior but REALLY loved the car other than that. Did people really pay 150k for one of these new?

I’m planning to buy a Gran Turismo over the next year. It’s been my dream car since I was 15 and always loved the way they sound. I’m looking at something newer than 2013.

But my question, is there much of a sound difference between the Sport and MC? Is it worth paying more for the MC for the centre exhaust? I live in Canada and there aren’t many, but the ones available are quite a bit more.

These cars are simply beautiful to look at. Bought this 2018 at the end of 2024. Put over 10k miles and not a problem with it.

my 2014 Maserati Ghibli Bass steering wheel is stuck and won’t release. I’ve tried a little bit of everything I found on the Internet now I wanna ask some professionals on what do you do to get it released

Hey folks,

Looking into potentially buying a 2017-2020 model Ghibli.
I am still pretty new to all this, want to know your high level thoughts and your experience with the similar builds and if its even worth it to buy them right now?

I appreciate it!!

Thanks

Fun little achievement a day before the 2 month anniversary! This is BY FAR my favorite car I have ever owned/driven.

Hey everyone,
I have a 2023 Maserati Grecale Trofeo with the Nettuno engine. The car has only been serviced once so far, and the second service is coming up in about 2,000 km (I’ll be at 30,000 km).
Today, while driving on the highway, I went full throttle, and the check engine light flashed once and then immediately disappeared. The car seemed to drive normally afterward with no noticeable loss of power or other warning messages.
Has anyone experienced something similar with the Nettuno engine or Grecale Trofeo? Any idea what could cause a single flashing check engine light under hard acceleration?
I’m planning to have it checked, but I was curious if this is a known issue or if anyone has had a similar experience.

The dark gray colored section below the grille and right above the fangs looks odd to me. I appreciate them trying to give it a more aggressive look but I think I prefer the pre-facelift look. I do like the new fangs in the lower bumper, however.

As promised. Sorry it took a bit. Hope this works.

Hello! This is my first post here as a way to offer services. I am a factory certified Maserati technician in Denver Colorado offering any services needed on any Maserati vehicle. If any of you need work done on your vehicle let me know!

I’m in central Texas and spotted this MC20 headed towards Houston? COTA trackday damage or other, guesses?

Stock has been low nationally lately so I figured I'd put this out into the universe.

I'm looking for a 2018 (for the newer infotainment system) Maserati Granturismo MC in black. Hard top. Black interior is ideal but I'd go for Rosso.

MC isn't a deal-breaking deciding factor, but if I'm going in, I'm at least aiming for the spec I want.

If anybody is selling, my eyes are peeled!

Hello! Title is the question. Maserati dealership claiming I have to pay $8,900 to certify a 2022 Ghibli with 20K miles. Legit or scam?

I would’ve thought the dealership would have CPO’d the vehicle prior to it being placed in sellable inventory.

I am looking into a 2022-2024 Levante, I found one with 16k miles, lease car, good CARFAX. The dealer has replaced the front brake rotors, and tires, and have done an oil change.

Anyone here own a Maserati Modena trim?

I was just wondering about a couple of things:

1. Reliability, are these cars really as bad as they say? I test drove one and it was honestly phenomenal. But i dont know if these are cars that tend to have a lot of costly issues.

2. Parts availability. They stopped making the Maseratis with this engine after the 2024 Ultima trim, is it likely finding parts 5 to 10 years down the line will be difficult? I dont want to be in a situation where the car is in the shop, and the part takes a month and a lot of money to ship from somewhere.

Any thoughts, guidance, or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys!

Hi,

Any owners in the PNW out there? Probably none due to the low sales volume nationwide and then the Seattle dealership said they don't sell or service them since Maserati wanted them to spend $500k+ to add EV infrastructure to their dealership. Looks like Oregon is the same way. I can get one in CA but then would have to ship it back for service.
