New F12

Image Unavailable, Please Login Just picked up this 2015 F12 with 6,100 miles and two years CPO to join my Nero 488

I was going to buy a 2016 FF but glad I got this car.

I think I want to trade in S550 coupe for the FF as a daily what do you think? Image Unavailable, Please Login

Mike aren’t you on screamandfly also?

 

Great choice, congratulations!

 

Congrats

I think the FF is a wonderful car, but in many ways it also feels quite similar to the F12. I wonder if an FF will either see too little use, or perhaps even dilute the F12 experience if driven often.
The Lusso is coming diwn in price, and it is much more different than the F12, hence it will create a lot less overlap. Honestly, if the Lusso is out of reach, I'd keep the Merc as I truly feel that an FF as a daily driver will hurt the emotional value of the F12. The Lusso is much better as a GT than the FF. A bit less exciting as it's less raw and more refined, but it's a much nicer cabin which feels a lot more intimate and comfortable.

So if you can swing a used Lusso, by all means. An FF and an F12? Nah.

 

Congrats, crazy amount of car.


I was in a similar situation- I originally thought about an FF, got a f12 insteadwhich I love and have an s- class. I am actually thinking about a 488 as the weekend car, as f12 is my daily unless I have meetings or somewhere far to go and will drive the S-class. It is helpful to have all the electronics doodads and a car for pure comfort.

Lastly, consider the new g63amg instead? That is something I am thinking about- nice contrast.

 

Good points.. the s550 is pure comfort for sure. It’s definitely a great car in the f12 but I for some reason can’t get ff out of my mind. I almost think I’d prefer it over the Lusso

 

Congrats on the F12. The more I drive the more I love mine.


Well. The FF and F12 are very different IMHO. The FF is bigger, sure footed and moves in a completely different way. The F12 is lighter and pushes you from the rear with a steady hand. It feels very different from the FF. In fact you know how your 488 slams you back in the seat with bang? The F12 is closer to that in a different platform. I never choose between the FF and F12 but I do choose between the 488 and F12.


Lusso vs FF ? Go FF. More raw and more analog. Lusso will be there and cheaper still in 1-2 years.

That’s what I did...... awesome experience. Savor it .

FF is a great car, 4 seats, AWD and a V12 with plenty of room for golf clubs. Cant miss.

 

congrats

 

Try a quattroporte gts
Great alternative to the s550

 

Maserati is in my opinion the biggest POS auto manufacturer in the world. I’ve had two brand new ones and I’ve been left on the side of the road by two Maserati

$90-$100k for total garbage

 

My friend bought a Ghibli a while ago. Went for a ride with him and came back thinking he made a huge mistake with his purchase.
