    She was delivered a few days ago.

    2014 Black in black, yellow calipers, yellow stitching.

    To me this is the perfect Ferrari and my first one.

    I have 2 kids, need the back seats,need the trunk and the ability to drive in any weather.

    I wanted to use potentially as a daily driver.

    I had Porsches for 8 years, still have them and will always do, they are phenomenal cars!

    It was time to try the Ferrari as a brand.

    It will be in competition side by side with my Panamera GTS.

    Very curious to see how reliable she will be.

    Had minimal or no issues with Porsches!

    The Ferrari is a fantastic experience so far. (too early to tell I guess).

    There never was anything wrong with the FF's appearance. Just different. It is a very well done rendition of the shooting brake idea.

    Black and in the snow - love it! I also dig the yellow stitching and the wheels. What color is the tachometer, I can't quite tell from the pictures? Also, can you tell us the serial number? Lastly, congratulations!

    Congrats. The FF was one of my favorite daily drivers. Did you put snow tires on it?

    Gorgeous car, and great choice for a first Ferrari. I'm offically jealous: looks like you have tons of snow to play on! I look forwad to hearing your impressions after a few weeks.

    Congratulation on you first Ferrari! For my opinion this is the successor of the Porsche 928 from Ferrari :)

    Thank to all messages!
    Really an honor to be part of this forum.
    There are so many car enthusiasts and well informed people.

    To answer some of the questions:

    I am in Wisconsin.

    Tachometer is yellow as well.

    Placed winter tires - Pirelli Sottozeros, they are working well.

    Like the darker colors too, specially black and darker shades of grays.

    Will see how she performs in the next few months.

    Not easy competition, the porches are fantastic cars and I could not be more impressed.

    Had to try the Ferrari brand at least once in my life.

    To me, at this time, the FF was no question, the ideal Ferrari.

    All the best to all!

    I've seen a lot of FFs and this is only the second one I've seen with a rear window wiper. I was assuming that the aerodynamics of the car eliminated the need. However, I guess if it is sitting as it snows, you need to clean that window off. I'm wondering why so few other cars have it. ???

    Rear wiper is a factory option. Love the SottoZeros.

    I think that most folks don't order it because they want to keep a clean look and have little need for it in their usage pattern. I ordered mine with it because I intend to take it through much foul weather.
