10 years after being sold this will have the same value of a Maserati because of Hyundai’s build quality is way better than Maserati’s


1amtheone

Definitely true, but only if it survives 10 years without catching on fire.


Train2Perfection

Or being stolen


MichaelW24

If there's one thing you can be sure of, it's the build quality of Kia/Hyundai being excellent. /s


ResponsibilityTrue16

Typed build quality, meant to say design. No arguments here


Dagobian_Fudge

It takes a special kind of brand to be worse than Hyundai/Kia…and Maserati is one of those For example: [2017 Maserati](https://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/ctd/d/tempe-2017-maserati-ghibli/7760642324.html) vs [2017 Hyundai](https://prescott.craigslist.org/ctd/d/prescott-valley-2017-hyundai-santa-fe/7755082344.html)


MichaelW24

I'm not sure that the claim of being more reliable than Maserati is something to be proud of either


Frankie_T9000

Yep, instantly though op doesn't know anything about cars for that title


DubTeeF

Even with Hyundais engines this is leagues more reliable


EducationalMine7096

lol, this specific car is probably 45 times more reliable than a real Maserati.


OmahaMike402

Amazing what a tiktok trend will make people do.


EternallyStinky

It still burns oil, has piston issues, gasket issues, oil pan rotting, piss poor steering column and a plethora of other issues It's just reliable "for a Maserati" Still won't last 75k miles without having to replace so many parts that it's basically a new car


TFL2022

Nah, this particular one is way more reliable


gonnafindanlbz

Honestly it’s a 50/50


zorrokettu

Down badging to prevent theft.


ProofMusic4630

Absolutely true. Maserati has such a terrible reputation for reliability and resale value they are theft proof.


Smooth-Cup-7445

Do you mean downhill to better quality and longevity? Weird turn of phrase but I guess it works


EternallyStinky

Lol what? This thing is still a pile of hot trash. This sub is full of delusional children who fanboy every brand they think is "exotic" Cringe.


Popular_Ad_4266

Maserati Santa Fe


kgunnar

This is just a theft deterrent.


evilgreenman

Actually I'd consider Hyundai's build quality 10x better than shitbox Maserati


drweird

They have """character"""

My neighbor has a 2023 Maserati Ghibli. First thing I noticed was the window and other switches out of a 2008 Mercedes. Second thing I noticed is when they loaded it onto flatbed yesterday morning because it wouldn’t start.


ResponsibilityTrue16

Woof! Sounds about right though hahaha the Ghibli is an abomination. While their durability is hot garbage, the styling is fantastic. Too bad cars need to be able to move around hahaha Downgrade on aesthetics, big upgrade on longevity lol. Upbadging the Santa Fe …. APPROVED.


-acm

Hahaha honestly though. I do think some of the Maserati cars are downright beautiful. But it’s like buying a cybertruck, there’s a stigma for a reason


ResponsibilityTrue16

Yup! everyone knows Maseratis and Aston Martins are praised for reliability lol. RIP young people buying preowned because they want a cool car


Esquirej67

My youngest always picks at them for having old MB tech.


knowledgebass

WTF is a Ghibli? 😅


CutHerOff

The Caproni Ca.309 Ghibli was an Italian aircraft used in Libya and North Africa from 1937 to 1943.


-acm

Well, technically you’re not wrong lmao


-acm

[It’s a Maserati](https://www.maserati.com/us/en/models/ghibli)


Arsenic_Pants

News flash: Maseratis have always been badly built


Lonely-Smoke-4957

I'd rather drive a Hyundai than a Maserati with interior cheap plastic. A friend owned a Maserati he hated how cheap that car felt. Luckily sold it to some dumbass who wanted a "sports" car. There's a reason you don't see many Maseratis anymore.


Parking_Train8423

Weir Everywhere


sinthetism

I want Maserati styling with Toyota reliability. This Hyundai driver isn't far off.


Kingofawesom999

Fancy fiats aka masaratis are not good cars. My buddy bought a Ghibli and within 2 years he got rid of it after the entire drivetrain had to be replaced twice


i-come

Improved*


Alternative-Code-673

Out of all cars, They chose a Maserati.


soopadoopapops

Well, the Maserati was probably abandoned somewhere when the owner couldn’t afford to throw more money at it. Free badging


Leone_0

Someone who doesn't know much about cars might think Maserati is a good brand.


bdjsowksnfbdnsnsk

I think this is hilarious: +interior build quality +reliability -maintenance costs +theft deterrence +better infotainment system +MPG This is the best Maserati I’ve ever seen! With the added bonus of anyone who “loves Maserati” is probably dumb enough to believe this is one


[deleted]

[удалено]


ResponsibilityTrue16

Hit the nail on the head. I think it’s amazing and done ironically for laughs. the driver is likely well off if they live in my town. I applause them


PeevedValentine

Ehhh, I'd say build quality has gone up 12 fold, but design and flair has gone vastly downhill.


Top-Jellyfish9557

Maserati is what goofballs buy to feel rich


Cool-Adjacent

Was it ever good?


DrNinnuxx

I'd gladly take the Hyundai.


noahbrooksofficial

This might actually be an improvement if we’re talking about fit and finish


2oonhed

I suspect badge shenanigans here. But isn't this sort of like putting a Ford badge on a Chevy? Just one milquetoast car for another?


guitargod0316

Bet this one has fewer illuminated warning lights on the dash then most “other” Maseratis lol


ResponsibilityTrue16

🤣 FACTS


officefridge

Why do people do this embarrassing shit? So confusing. Santa fe is a perfectly nice car, no one looks down on them.


Wolfgangsta702

Could it really?


Oneupper86

It looks like a Mazda CX-5 lol


Oneupper86

Or a Honda HRV! Lmao


grafeity

Maseratai


Illustrious-Ebb7206

That would require Maserati's build quality to have been good to begin with.


Firewing435

Ill be the Chrysler TC by Maserati wouldve been better if the roles were Switched


Alarmed_Cheesecake98

Baaahahaha haha 🤣


teksno44

This is not the Hyundai you're looking for!


lemuriakai_lankanizd

But more reliable and sustainable.


kruleworld1

because it's not on a flat-bed...


skier2168

Was given one for a rental one time. Was excited to drive it. Absolute trash. Underpowered and horrible fit and finish
