    I’d been watching FF’s for quite a while and been wanting a GT car. I got this the other day at Ferrari of Houston. I’ve known Jospeh Maniachi there for several years and as usual he was great to deal with. This was the first time I have dealt with Ryan Dohogne and he couldn’t have been better. I’m not prone to saying things like this online, but it was the most pleasant car buying experience I’ve ever had, and I felt that should be commented on!

    Congratulations. I found that once you have had an FF or Lusso, it’s actually quite hard to be without one!

    Early impressions are very very good. Give me a few more days and I’ll try to organize my thoughts better.

    Congrats! I am also looking to add a clown shoe mobile to our 911 and P100D. I can't believe how much bigger the FF is next to 911.

    Early driving impressions (100 miles or so) are that it’s a great car. To me it’s very much a GT car, though it does seem to handle well.

    The length of the car, and where you sit in relation to the wheels takes a bit of getting used to. The nose is waaaaaaasay in front of you. And this causes you to feel a little closer to the rear axle than you probably are. It’s oddly reminiscent of driving a lotus 7 or caterham 7 in that regard. I say oddly because they are such incredibly different cars.

    It almost never seems to feel like an awd car. Steering feel is excellent.

    It’s a fantastic motor. Just glorious. It pulls like a freight train.

    I love the interior and find it both comfortable and a very pleasing place to be. I can’t really comment on the infotainment, other than to say I find pretty much all infotainment systems in cars aggravating and this is not an exception.

    Congrats. I have owned a 15 FF for 9 months now and couldn’t be happier.
    Must say I’d probably sell it to get an RS like the one you have in your garage. Awesome stable

    Thank you very much.

    The more I drive the FF the more I like it. It’s a great all rounder at least for me.

    What a great car!

    I commented on the For Sale thread that the price made it a great value, too.
