    I went and test drove a 2021 Ferrari Roma and really enjoyed it. I am thinking of trading my 2022 Porsche TARGA GTS 50th design edition towards the Roma. Should I do it?

    sure, if you like the look of an Austin Martin. :)

    Aston Martins are great. But I would definitely get a Roma over one of those.

    Go drive a Porto before you buy a Roma. Best of both worlds if you’re looking for a front engine F car. I use mine as a daily driver for the last 1.5 years and couldn’t be happier.

    Thank you all for all your responses this far. Also, hope to hear from some Roma drivers, are there any out there? Sure seems like the prices of them have taken a big hit.

    What the heck! I’m from Texas. I had a 2020 Aston Martin. I just called it a Mercedes.

    Just picked up a 21 Roma to sit besides the 488. Traded in Cali T for it. Traded 991.2 S for Cali T couple years ago
    I LOVE the Roma, seriously think it’s the best all around car the factory has produced in many years Fast as Fu#k and around town city car ( downtown chicago) the car does everything well. Pcars are fine machines but not a Ferrari
    I have owned 5 911’s and 4 Ferraris. If I could only own 1 Ferrari, it would be a Roma

    I have a spider on order and that will be the perfect car.

    I scoffed at the car when it first came out. No ground effects, simplistic design. Borrowed a Roma from dealer for weekend and I was sold. Go drive one at speed, you won’t look back at the Porsche IMO

    I also currently have a Roma. I agree with Eric. It is the best daily driver, but also very powerful when driven angrily. It’s fun too as it will slip a little before TC catches it.

    I am loving what you Roma drivers are saying and you are convincing me! And again thank you for the input on these world problems. lol. We are truely blessed to have these kinds of issues! Do any of you have the front camera and do you need it or are the sensors better then they were in my FF ?

    Full disclosure: the Roma will not scratch the same itch that a 488 or f8 will scratch. It is a very fast car. Semi luxurious. Can handle the worse roads with ease. Beautiful inside and out. Will be great for driving around the wife and girlfriend. It is the perfect daily. If you really want a car to drive one hour a week, go mid engine IMO.

    I agree with this, really like our Roma, and it's a great fit for me, but it's a GT, not a true sports car.

    I drove my friends Huracan Tecnica a few times this weekend, and that was a vastly different feel, much more sporty.

    I still prefer the Roma for my lifestyle, but it does lean more towards comfy than sporty.

    The Roma is faster and Porsche feels more planted.

    The Roma is also more special than a 911.

    Good luck with your choice.

    I drove the new DB12 on the weekend...... Was one of the best Aston's I have ever driven and I would prefer one over my Roma.

    Only if you can't afford a 488 or F8.

    DB12 is beautiful as well but why did you like it over the Roma?

    It feel more planted. Is a better place to be inside. The infotainment system hoses the Roma and it is a better looking car IMO.

    Really, your wife and girlfriend gets along in the Roma? I wouldn't be able to do that, whatever car it was...
