Ferrari Roma review. It's very pretty but what's it like on a 600 mile trip to Cornwall?

I had the Ferrari Roma in to review a few months ago but the weather was horrible at the time and it really compromised the review. What I really wanted to do was to take it on a road-trip and, fortunately, Ferrari said yes so we set off for the Idle Rocks Hotel in St. Mawes in Cornwall, to see what the Roma is like on a proper road-trip. idlerocks.com/

[@HeavyMetalorRockfan9]

I agree with Harry's assessment that a high-revving NA v8 is better suited to the car, even if it ends up being slower. The infotainment is ridiculous in this day and age. They should be collaborating with google on basically a ferrari style reskin of their new automotive platform, while ensuring their hardware is sleek and with small bezels. I also agree that the controls on the steering wheel are stupid, theyre usually available on cheap cars because they don't want to develop/manufacture proper switchgear, it also complicates assembly. In short I fully agree with Harry's assessment, the car in terms of performance is an amazing feat of engineering, however, it isn't what I would expect/want from a ferrari grand tourer, while the body screams elegant grand tourer more than any of ferrari's grand touring design for decades imo

Liked the comment re: St Mawes back lane: 'You can't get a car down there' When I lived in Cornwall (stone's-throw from King Harry Ferry 79 -82) I had a '72 Clan Crusader bought from Roseland Motors, St Just in Roseland (St Mawes). So that St Mawes town back lane was just made for it - (Clan's wheel track is probably around 5 foot). Still have a Clan today but it's a bit more tweaked now with a full race engine, 9000rpm, providing a modest 190 bhp per ton through a close ratio tranny. Perfect for all Cornish roads within the legal limit (plus Swaledale where I currently live), in that you don't have to pull over for on-coming SUVs. That said, it's not going to be as relaxing as your Roma on the Motorway given 5500 rpm in top @ 70 mph. And I guess the Clan wouldn't be your cup of tea anyway Harry, given it's a tad ugly and the cabin is optimised for those around Colin Chapman's height - although 'tis true one or two 6+ footers have owned them, and still do.

Great video! Interesting trip, I took a holiday in Cornwall recently, really lovely place but I also gasped at the price of entering Lands End. Liked Tate St Ives but would have liked some classical art in there as well as modern. Good that you made the point on the boot access and rain, as I was also going to ask if the relatively thin boot access (about 60% f the width of the car?) meant it was restricted to just soft luggage? Re the exhaust, do you think modern cars are compromised by every road tester wanting something "loud" that can be made even louder when you open the valves? I like your point that a Ferrari sound should be lovely and sing, not be a TVR clone with a badge. Before your test I would have said that I liked the Roma (gorgeous design). But with a base price of £250K and loaded close to £300k, it's twice the price of a Porsche 911 Turbo S. Post this test, I know I made the right decision to stick with the Porsche - Good Luck!

Interesting on the Fuel Consumption at 20mpg, I was hoping for more. My 1988 Ferrari Mondial 3.2 2+2 Coupe averages 19mpg on a mixed fast/slow trip, not so fast as the Roma, but not hanging about either! The Mondial was designed to take 2 adults & 2 children or more luggage across a continent, and on long drives works very well! No traction control worries. Maybe a little noisier sometimes but ok, no power steering but it lightens up at speed, & it’s a manual gearshift which makes it a better choice! I recently drove the Portofino M from Graypaul & found it almost too easy to drive in an uninvolving way. My Mondial has a working sunroof so for an open top experience is similar to the Portofino, which felt cramped! I can’t see any particular improvement over my car, except maybe long-term reliability although my car has managed 1350 miles in 2 months with no issues. Cost would impact my buying decision with the Roma or Portofino M costing circa say £280,000 with some options. My car cost £31,000 & is now worth a little more at £35,000. I think I’ll stick to mine for now!

I'm hoping this was on the motorway, rather than on some B-road just before an approaching bend..

[@UKTrucker_Malc]

@@harrysgarage Definitely not a B-road bend ( although I spend quite some time on those too, when visiting Farms 😁), I think you would also remember me if that was the case 😂 I’m trying to rack my mind, it was either on the M5 or the A30. Did you drive any of the A30?

[@drapears]

I was so excited to see you were in my neck of the woods (Newlyn, Penzance) and you drove along my favourite road (North road, St Ives to St Just) infact I did all of the tuning miles of my car along that road. Hope you enjoyed the scenery and come down again soon.

[@drapears]

My profile picture was taken on that road also*

[@ErosXeros]

Always a very good review, thanks Harry (Greetings from France)

[@Carrera-gp9od]

We went to Cornwall this year , I found the driving was a total pain , too many cars , no parking and the roads around lands end were unbelievable narrow with massive hedges either side . It also pissed down nearly every day apart from that it was all good

[@AlexLR]

Ahhh Cornish ‘hedges’, that are actually solid stone walls covered in just enough green to make tourists think they’re soft. Many many people have found that out the hard way!

[@Carrera-gp9od]

Ah , that will explain how iI scrapped the car while squeezing past another vehicle on particularly tight section 😂

[@saddoncarrs6963]

Don't consider Scotland for a road trip next summer either. It has become motorhome central. Absolute nightmare.

[@Carrera-gp9od]

@@saddoncarrs6963 😂 I’m actually from Scotland , certain bits are totally clogged up this is true North coast 500 is a nightmare , there are loads of quiet bits with hardly any campers

I’m off to Cornwall in my R26 Monday ! Been twice this year in my B5 RS4 terrible on petrol 😂 Lovely car spotted one the other day in Egham Ferrari

Thank you, Harry, really enjoyed this one, except for the weather. I got a soft spot for the Roma so loved this.

[@christianfloehr]

Harry, thank you for this (again) beautiful video. So relaxed and I feel coming with you for the journeys.. such a nice car! And so true words. An engine with around 500 horses.. with a better noise.. would buy this in a heartbeat. But not change it for my Scuderia.. 🚗 🤙🏻 Best regards!

[@rvpsilva9213]

HARRY, can you review a Lexus LFA and the LC500?

[@richardwalther6229]

It just dawned on me: it’s a DB-10 for the “masses.” The Roma is almost an identical car to the Bond car from several years ago.

[@christopherodonoghue3858]

Compliment or criticism?

[@salvi1398]

@@christopherodonoghue3858 probably a compliment to Aston Martin. Ferrari liked their design so much that they took it

[@scottcabot5039]

EVO road trip days relived, does not get better. Thanks Harry.

[@johnosullivan2017]

Very good point from Harry about having too much torque and power. Not so long ago 500bhp was seen as an insane amout of power, and now it seems almost routine. I have 590lb/ft or 800nm in my tuned soft top Merc, and it arrives at ~2000rpm, due to the pair of small turbos kicking in at low revs. Just a little too much throttle, and the rear wheels spin. Undriveable in the wet. Fitting Mich PS4s helped...

[@AllWheelsGood]

Did you pay the ferryman or fix a price? Or did you wait until you got to the other side?

[@williamegler8771]

I love how he drives supercars like a Astra owner drives their car. Regardless of the weather or distance.

[@jamesalexander4203]

Lovely looking car Harry. Informative and great to see Dartmoor. (Love your farming vids too)

[@arniewheeler4673]

my part of the country, glad you've enjoyed, great vid

[@drivingthought5983]

Stunning scenery Harry, don’t quite get the car though? Way too fast, and the engine sound is completely soulless

[@MarkAndrewSinnott]

A Ferrari that’s way too fast. Okie dokie.

[@PowerslideSWE]

It sounds like a very gruff large capacity 4-cylinder engine with the flat plane crank, I think a crossplane would suit this type of car better tbh. Great review as always though.

[@aston-martin-internationalist]

First thoughts exactly!

[@0tispunkm3y3r]

Yes, never really liked Ferrari V8s with their flat cranks, they just sound like two 4-bangers fighting for who is the loudest (which is what they are really). But it's different strokes for different folks isn't it. Good engineering reasons to use flat plane of course. But a less ordinary sound would be nice.

[@ManxAndy]

Could watch these road trips forever, so easy going👍🇮🇲

[@FredrikElgstrand]

Thank you Harry, great video! Nice road-trip.
