There are so many negative threads about the F1 on these cars, but how many of us here have actually had a problem? I haven't.
None. Not on my two 355 GTS F1's and none on the 430 Scuderia. 350 track day laps this year alone, not a single problem, just happy driving
None. 3 years 7 k miles. Love it! Oh and clutch wear this year 2% for 2.5k miles with very little motorway use.....
needs a poll. Otherwise it's sampling bias. probably could go like this, have you had F1 problem? F360 Y / N F430 Y / N
Depends what you consider to be a problem. Mines never cost any money to fix but: 1 x refused to change up from 3rd 1 x got stuck in 5th for 10 seconds Otherwise fine over 25,000 miles.
2009 16M, just turned 12000 miles. No F1 issues whatsoever. This transmission is the main reason I bought this car over a 458. The 458 is just too smooth and refined for me.
9 years F430 ownership and F1 sensor dead at 42K.But nothing bad, could happen. Meanwhile actuator problem once in my Scuderia. No broken piece though, needed purge.
This is great! We only seem to remember the failures, and not all the cars that run flawlessly. It's a but like in my store where we tend to remember the bad customers, and not the 99.9% of good ones!
Focusing on the negative is SOP around here. If I was as negative as is the norm here I'd eat a bullet.
