Uninitiated 1st Gear January 27 Share January 27 (edited) @107fan no offence, I drove a Ghibli for a good 6.5 years as a daily ride. Drove it in a spirited manner sometimes and it was all good.

Oil leaks coolant leaks? Electricals? I am not an Italian car person but interested to hear haha 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uninitiated 1st Gear January 28 Share January 28 @107fan I went for annual car maintenance as per warranty. No major replacement. Only had one air con malfunction, in that 6.5 years. No biggie. I had that plus a busted coolant tank with my 3 series which was before the Maserati. The Ghibli was a reliable workhorse to be honest. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uninitiated 1st Gear January 28 Share January 28 (edited) @ER-3682 about 90k. Why I didn’t drive to the end? I don’t want it to come the wrong way but I simply have the ability to change car and I wanted to drive the AF one more time. I had the 159 before. I have never driven a car to scrap before. What’s your personal experience with Italian cars? My current Giulia is my third, and granted that it is not a lot la. And these are all poor men’s toys. The really capable ones will be playing with the horses and the bulls I guess. No experience there. Edited January 28 by Uninitiated 4 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand A very good 6.5 years for your Ghibli indeed. Somehow all your car models start with Gs 😄 need a GranTurismo too Yes, I think coolant tank/hose leaks are common for German cars indeed. The stock rubber hoses are rubbish, think better upgrades are silicone. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uninitiated 1st Gear January 28 Share January 28 @107fan Haha, as I mentioned in the Giulia thread, I don’t feel the same excitement with my new G compared to when I had the 159 or the Ghibli. I think it is the age. Happy Lunar New Year to you mate! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
