2014 Maserati Ghibli Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	With a 118-inch wheelbase and 57.5-inch height, the Ghibli is certainly large enough to contain a roomy rear seat. Alas, there's less space back there than in a typical compact. At 5-9 I could sit behind myself, but with just a couple inches between my knees and the front seatback and my shins grazing the bottom edge of the same. The new Quattroporte has so much more rear legroom that there's enough space between them for another model. The BMW 6-Series Gran Coupe provides a bit more rear seat knee room, but despite said seat's lower, smaller, decidedly coupe-like cushion your head will be much closer to its synthetic suede headliner. That lower roof line comes at a cost. There's considerably more space in the back seat of the Audi than in either of the other two. see full Maserati Ghibli review
