7. Maserati Ghibli
Maserati has never managed to gain a strong foothold in the luxury market. The company’s cars are just not as appealing and well known as other luxury brands. Not to mention for the last decade the cars have had a distinct look that appears to be stuck in 2003. Nevertheless, the Ghibli musters on for the 2020 model year.
This is one sedan worth avoiding. The Ghibli is notorious for having electrical issues. In fact, consumers are complaining about this as soon as the car leaves the lot. If that’s not enough to make your wallet scream, the Ghibli is also only available with a V6 engine. So you’re paying a Bentley price for Volkswagen power. Most buyers in this price range want a V8. The interior is cramped for such an expensive car, and the control center still utilizes old technology. The tapping shift lever is among one of the worst designs in the automotive industry, and the trunk space is limited at best.
With the Ghibli, you get the prestige of driving a Maserati but that’s about it. The Ghibli doesn’t offer anything in the way of value for the consumer. You’ll just be paying for an overpriced brand name and that doesn’t make much sense.
