    Thank you for this. You are saving me ~$300K!
    I think the fact is that modern Ferraris are just way too complex to be reliable. If you have 10+ cars and only drive the Ferrari a few times per year, and you are under warranty, it's not a big deal.

    If you are buying it as your one dream car that you have placed a ton of expectations in and have worked hard to make possible - you will be disappointed.
    Personally, my 'dream Ferrari' is a Testarossa. I have zero desire to own a modern one.

    A little bit off-topic, but you should consider a 550 Maranello - the testarossa is real crap from a driver's perspective, while the 550 is truly great, even though it has lower performance than more modern cars.

    Unacceptable, but not a new phenomenon - see Lamborghini.

    The DB11 and DBS aren't that convenient for rear passengers, even children. I would look at the Lagonda Taraf or Rapide if you want to stay with AML.

    Agreed....the rear is not accommodating.

    Hahah lol no.. they wanna buy my car back at a huge loss and sell me a new one with a little discount..
    Car in shop since
    3rd of june. This is a nightmare!!! Second time i lose it for 3 months in 2019! From jan to april and from june until now..

    So far no compensation.. not even a hint. They wanna sell me a 488 (which is no ferrari to me) that costs 270k for 225-230 (maybe) while those cars go for 200-210k right now

    If I accept, i will lose 25k more..
    just bought an M5 competition, will go to schnitzer for the 720hp upgrade.
    Seriously **** ferrari. My family owns 5, and that doesn’t even matter to them

    The testarossa is awesome from a drivers perspective, it’s raw, it’s fun it takes a real driver .

    I have the feeling many consider that taming a poorly designed car is real driving ;) but that's not my approach - "real driving" is about precision and delicacy and not about trying to compensate for the shortcomings of the car.
    I cannot tell for the 512 TR but for me the testarossa has ridiculously underdimensioned brakes and a terrible road holding (the engine is a materpiece though - in this sense it's really a tribute to Enzo's philosophy).

    Driving imo should not be easy; it’s a privilege to drive a Ferrari otherwise everyone is like Justin Bieber out there... that’s also why imo the new era of f1 driver is not nearly as talented as the older guys.

    The TR is 35 years old the brakes are from that era& yes the 512 tr is greatly improved...
    I have way more fun driving a tr in back roads than I did in a 458,ff or 720s. The tr talks to u and those cars, even if they are great are just less raw...specially That 720s...too damn fast.
