Should you buy the 2023 Maserati Ghibli
Is this the right car for you? Out experts buy or not guide.
There are faster cars with more powerful engines and more up-to-date tech for substantially less investment, but they don’t wear a Maserati badge and they don’t have a Ferrari engine under the bonnet. That counts for plenty.
But, like any Italian exotic, you buy it for its pedigree, drop-dead gorgeous looks, and the noise it makes – at least for now. For Maserati, more than other marque, it’s been that way for well over 100 years.
That said, we can’t wait for the all-new Quattroporte – by all accounts it should be something quite special.
