FF Owners Feedback?
Discussion

I'm staying at Turnberry Hotel tonight and there is an FF in the car park which has been a talking point all day, not only amongst the petrol heads. It certainly has presence and is unlike any other car, Bentley GT's and AM's are boring by comparison and that's only the looks.
There are some epic driving roads in that part of the world !I've had mine for a year now so thought I'd throw in my thoughts.
I went for the glass roof but when I ordered that feature, nobody really knew what would turn up. I was expecting some adjustability like the 612 One to One but it is just a glass roof. Brightens up the interior. Rear passengers appreciate it most.
Sat nav is basically the same unit as in my son's Jeep Wrangler. A bit fiddly but works well enough. It's not a cheap unit even in the Jeep but is certainly not of the quality I'd expect in a Ferrari. Some other trim items are a bit cheap too.
Performance is as you'd expect. By far the quickest car I've ever owned. The performance is also more accessible than I expected.
Steering is ultra quick. It took some getting used to and I found it a little intimidating at first.
I find the gear change very quick and smooth but do find the car a little juddery in low speed in traffic. Hopefully this is being resolved as we speak at the annual service.
Wife has driven the car once. She was very critical of the controls on the steering wheel.
The width of the car hasn't bothered me. I live in the Channel Islands and the roads are very narrow but I've still been able to use the car pretty much daily.
I ordered the suspension lifter to make life easier getting on and off the Ferry.
I've had a few long journeys with passengers and there's been no complaints about space in the rear.
I didn't go for carbon trim but probably would next time as some of the metal trim parts are fragile.
The seat belt handover is a pain. It is a lottery whether it will work. I'm surprised Ferrari went for this feature. Long term, I expect some owners will have the feature disabled.
I've had a few electric gremlins but usually cured by turning off and on again.
Main options I went for were:
glass roof, upgraded hifi, suspension lifter, daytona seats with coloured inserts, leather parcel shelf, scuderia shields, yellow callipers and probably a few other bits. Some things such as rear camera became standard by the time I knew my order was being finalised. I think you can get a front camera now and probably a few other new options too.
Would I have another? Yes, without hesitation.
