And I had to drive that Ferrari a long distance! I had to drive the Ferrari from Southern California to Northern California!

Most people would say it's a good day to drive a Ferrari - but that Ferrari was a CHORE! It was so boring, somewhat unresponsive despite being powerful, and it didn't sound extremely emotional. The engine was quiet and even pressing the accelerator down quite a bit, the transmission was never eager to downshift. It just wasn't a "happy car" it wasn't an "eager car" - I expect a sports car to be eager like a puppy dog trying to please its master. The fuel economy was good though. On the highway, it drank much less fuel than I expected for a 550 hp car! Hmm... I bet people would laugh at me - Patrick found a 2015 Ferrari to be boring? Patrick must be the most spoiled driver on Earth! No! Really, this car was just not a very emotional Ferrari! And truly - Lambroghini's Huracan is just amazing. Practicality aside, the smallness aside, the bad visibility aside, the tiny trunk forgiven, and the tiny interior forgiven - that's the best sports car on the market!

Looks, comfort, practicality, and comfort hit all of my requirements, but the last time I drove the 2016 California T, I was bored out of my mind, that car was so boring to drive - the engine was even less responsive than a 4.0 Liter Mercedes C63 AMG coup...

I once tried to get into a Gallardo but that didn't work well .. LOL. The Roma has 4 seats (kind of) and I really like the shape, I never liked the California. And yes, I would have to try the Roma before making the jump ... for now I'll have to do with a...

... about it .. a Ferrari that is so boring LOL. I had a similar experience with a Ferrari FF a couple of years ago. Despite the glorious V12 all the rest was a bit ... strange ... . But this car had some serious issue, so I think it's fair to give it the...

Not really sure about the reliability of F-cars in general, unless you spend gazillions on 'maintaining' them .... and then some more to maybe have a reliable car.

Thank you Nico

Absolutely gorgeous !

Both car and city indeed. Coupé or Spider ... in this case I find them equally attractive.
