I have now had my Roma for 18 Months and have done seven thousand miles ( mostly on euro trips) and it's been brilliant. I previously had Porsche 992 which was great but felt nowhere near as special as the Roma.
@L0901-c1g2 ай бұрын
Agree. I just have a 992.1 4S and had the Roma for a weekend. The experience was great, but the suffering from parking in the street and the amount of people taking pictures, made me reaffirm my decision for the 911.

I love Porsche and currently have a 718 GT4 RS, however, there is something very special about driving a Ferrari. I am glad you are enjoying yours after 18 months!!

Recently sold my 360 gated spider for a Roma. Likely the last Ferrari I purchase. It’s even more beautiful in person, and it is almost too perfect in terms of style, performance for the street. Nothing more I could ask for. Still love my DB9, 911, too, but there is nothing like the Roma for mature, Sports GT driving with an emphasis on the Sport. Bellissimo!

Nice video Mark. I have never gelled with the Roma. I would prefer a Calfornia T for even less of an investment while having a similar engine and power, Pininfarina styling and the added benefit of a convertible top.
@Spenny9092 ай бұрын
To me, the Roma is stunning from the outside. However, when I sat in one, the idea of it fitting with my family and other cars went away. The back seats are tiny, so much that it is a 2-seater car, but not a true one. So, maybe you have a point with the California.
@888mf42 ай бұрын
I have never liked the look of the California, but I do think the Portofino is an improvement. I think the Roma has such an elegant profile, but the rear seats are really only suitable for luggage space.

@Palaemon442 ай бұрын
I agree, the Roma is a great car without getting into the silly excess zone like the F8 and all the other “super-hyper cars”. Sometimes there is such a thing as too much, but the car manufacturers seem to have trapped themselves in an arms race. Here in the USA Dodge was actually even selling 1000 horsepower cars for a while because Chevrolet and Ford were selling 750 horsepower cars.

Fair enough, just for the money, and at this point we are talking about a couple year old Roma, the like for like comparison to my mind would be a couple year old 992.1 Turbo S, which are starting for a sniff under £130k making the Turbo S iteration of the 992 the perfect comparison to the Roma of all the iterations of 992 available in my opinion. I do agree that the 911 even in turbo s form, can never compare to the class of the Cavalino Rampante. Thanks for the videos!

This is NOT a review of a ferrari Roma...... this is an ADVERT for Ferrari Ferrari has the worst after sales care of any manufacturer. They way they treat their customers is with contempt. So many you-tube videos are out there about this
@888mf42 ай бұрын
This is not an ADVERT. I was not paid to film this video. I enjoyed driving the Roma and I did highlight the bad points which are lack of luggage space and the huge drop from new. However, I now think it offers great value for money and in the right spec looks fantastic. I have heard similar back from Roma owners and two of my friends are now in the process of buying a Roma. In addition, the Roma has a two year warranty if you buy from Ferrari Approved Dealers and when it was new I believe it was offered with a 7 year service package. I have also owned two Ferrari models, a TDF blue Challenge Straddle and a black 430 Scuderia, both have featured on the channel. I have no bad experiences from Ferrari main dealers.
