Ferrari FF

[woppum]

Does anyone have one here? Considering one to replace the turbo S. Hopefully driving one on thursday. do you know if there were any upgrades between 2012 and 2015 and if there were what were they?

Bit of bed-time reading: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

There's a few owners been posting recently

No major changes since 2011. Facelift rumoured in 2016, but does not seem to have materialized so far. Aircon, airbags, seals and fire are among its issues. This article is a year old, but still a decent summary:

That is really helpful thank you Yipper. I have been advised though later cars come with a glass roof? Nice but not essential! Not to worried about warrenty, its a road car not a track car!

FF no longer in production, replaced by GTC4 Lusso, available in both V8 and V12. First deliveries well overdue, expected imminently.

Not sure where the probe to fire sentiment comes from?

I don't think there were material updates. As you mentioned glass roof and also apple car play come to mind. Spec on these does vary more than on say a 458 as people seem to have spent a large percentage on options

Overalll great car. I own a 2012 and have put c 25k km on it in about 18 months. Everything from caning it up and down a mountain, to high speeds on the autobahn to driving Salzburg - Croatia / Salzburg London with friend luggage and dog in the car. Gets up and down our mountain in the snow, very comfortable, accelerates fast enough for me etc

Apart from a few electrical gremlins that usually are resolved by switching off the battery (or just ignoring them), no issues.

Have not had the car for more than a month as somebody rear ended me (edit ... rear ended it ...) and am driving around in a Clio RS .... which did hammer home the major flaw of the FF - no manual transmission (and a little heavy)

Overall love it and it will be a keeper. Would not know what to replace it with as daily driver / long distance car

Mine is brown with brown/cream interior

Hope this helps a little

Edit 2: lots of info on ferrarichat

Not sure precisely when it became standard, but almost all 2014 to 2016 models come with the pano roof. There is a peachy dark-red one up at the moment for ~£187k:

fantastic cars - I've had mine for almost a year now (march 2016) and it's been 100 pcnt reliable, with not even a squeak or rattle (that's a first for me after years of top end German and British kit). huge sense of occasion, nothing like a V12 to put a smile on your face. a lot more fun to drive than I was expecting, by no means a dull handling 4wd like an RS6 etc. fits seamlessly into one's life, very practical but also feels extremely special. aftersales care has been first class as well, Ferrari are very good at looking after their customers.

if I replace mine it will be when I no longer need the rear seats and it'll be for the F12 successor.

lots of info and help on F-chat

I'm in a similar place at the moment. At the moment we have to use my wife's immensely boring diesel Range Rover for familiar outings, leaving my F cars relegated to the garage. This is a situation that needs addressing and, while I think the aesthetics are "challenging" to say the least, an FF might just be the answer.

Well I bought a lovely example with only 4.5k miles on the clock from h r owen. Took me 20 mins to make the decision from the. Test drive!

It's going to auto audio for a new pioneer Apple play head unit, amps, sub, speakers. Looking for a good exhaust and considering some HRE wheels. It's a mega car and Rosso Maranello is just as lovely as Fiorano. Looking forward to seeeig it clean against my soz!

Also your dog looks about the right size to play with my dog who is scared of everybody who is bigger than him .... he is a German pinscher who thinks he is a cat
