Ferrari ROMA

Evidently it is not a chrome silver but a silver paint instead... it might give it a vintage feel in the right combination...

That’s a funny plate ? AGE 24

 

I don' have manuals either and i did not receive the ceramic key backs with the tools to change. My dealer is looking into it but has not idea at the moment. Anyone else get this box with the ceramic key and tool?

 

Still waiting/checking. U fly or ship yours?

 

I did not have it flown in. Traditional ship. I am the first my dealer has delivered so they have no idea yet. They are looking into the manuals and keys as we speak.

Great color. Is Blue Swaters metallic?


Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat

 

Yes, it is a metallic paint.

 

Mine arrived today and it is a beautiful thing! This is the first I have seen in person and as everyone has stated before it definitely looks even better in the metal!

Took the wife for its maiden voyage and she was very impressed with the ride quality and comfort of the Roma. Mind you she is comparing it to my Pista so obviously a different experience.......

The interior is gorgeous and materials are very nice as well as the build quality on my example at least.

I found the infotainment system to be very intuitive and similar to our new Range Rover dual touchscreen setup and haptic controls. The screens are clear with good resolution and I felt responsive. They work by both touch, hold, or slide depending on the feature. The surround view works well, actually better than the Rover, but the parking sensors are hyper sensitive and forced me to turn them off as they would go crazy at stoplights when anyone was near you at all. I ordered the regular sound system, my drive to and from work is a very short commute so the audio quality of music isn’t that important to me, but I am pleasantly surprised with the base setup and it is better than previous high end JBL units in Ferrari’s past. I can’t imagine what the “better” unit sounds like.
Setting up all the features, phone, Navi, sat radio, car settings literally took just a few minutes. Guess what? The voice recognition actually works! There is a language setting for “American” now only if we can add Southern to that.....

Features that surprised me, the free optional all electric seats. They are actual very comfortable, I did not know they had so much setting control features through the central screen, thigh length, hip support, shoulder bolsters, lumbar support, and mid back support. They are a must to spec unless you are going vented as well.
The nice key box is also an added bonus.

Things that are somewhat bizarre, the hood is quite difficult to close. The hood is sizable and very light and bends under pressure so I felt I was going to dent it trying to close it tightly. I called the tech and he said the same thing happened when they tried and was like “what the hell, this thing won’t close” then he said they fixed it “just push harder” and click, I felt like an idiot.
The auto stop/start function turns off while still in motion so you literally coast to a stop at the lights. I have had multiple cars with this feature and they all turn the engine off after coming to rest this one does it when under maybe 5mph, kind of strange feeling actually.

Now if you are still reading I commend you on your attention span, there is just a lot to say.
The drive, yes the drive, smooooth. The shifts are clean in auto, easy, quick, seem less. In manual they are very quick but still smooth, not the snack in the back the Pista delivers but then again it shouldn’t in this category. The steering is heavier than any of my former modern Ferraris, and in a good way. Still very responsive and direct but weighted to again smooth out the hyper light feel of the mid engines. The suspension, especially with Magneride, was great and you guessed it, smooth. It absorbed our public swimming pool potholes with ease in comfort mode. Sport and Race modes nicely firmed up and very little to no appreciable body roll on some local twisties. The car has enough power for any driver needs and especially any road car needs. The sound is surprisingly good as well with the sport exhaust. Just enough cabin intrusion to always know a bit of a beast is within but no heavy drone in normal driving especially on the highway.

This car will add a new chapter to my Ferrari experience to actually use and enjoy every day in every way compared to my prior sunny day weekend only use of my others. It’s early in the new love phase so we shall see what she has in store and since my dealer is a 1,000 miles away I hope she is as reliable as she is beautiful.

Great write up and congrats! I’m glad to hear you’re happy with the voice control, for some reason mine thinks we’re in Europe and won’t control the nav. I also don’t hear instruction from my phone unless it’s on the phone source, where my other vehicles Will quiet the radio and tell me where to turn. Not big issues considering how new these cars are and it’s probably user error anyway. Enjoy it!

 

Love how that looks! I'm still waiting for my Roma. Also grigio titanio. I went with terra bruciata interior to match. Can't wait!

Congrats and I wish you good luck with the car.

One question, is there a way to shut off the start/stop function? My wife has that on her Panamera and you can program a button on the steering wheel to shut it off, but you have to do that each time you start the car, you can't permanently shut it off.

 

There is a button to turn it off and on next to the lights but you have to do it each time you get in the car.

 

Congratulations from Chattanooga . Beautiful car Dadr. Argento ? Same color as my daily Cali T ... may make me consider an upgrade !

 

Grigio Titanio and thank you fellow Tennessean!

Which colour would you say is this?
Grigio Alloy?

 

That is Grigio Titanio.

 

Elegantly specified Roma-not sure of the colour.

That looks like Rosso Fiorano.

 

Yes, agree.

 

Anyone have more pics of the Key box? Anyone get their manuals?

 

I will take some pics of the key box when I get home. Unfortunately the owners manual are still in Italy and are supposed to be shipped soon. I do have the warranty manual and lemon law manual.

Here is the key box with the tools to change out the plastic cover for the enamel one.

From reading the stuff that came with it, the plaque above the key is supposed to go on a display model of your car. I haven’t heard anything about a model but it would be really cool if it was color specific and not generic.
