    Let's say you could have any Ferrari you wanted...but you would have to use it as a daily driver...which one would you choose and why? Reliability, ease of use, looks, comfort, etc etc...

    Low key color. Stealthy Ferrari fun for the commute. Kick it into auto/comfort in traffic, manual/sport for open roads. Comfy, reliable modern Ferrari, useable every day; pop the top when the weather is nice, and take the long way home...T

    250 GT CA, LWB or SWB. Half the people would think it's a Fiat. Anotehr 49% would think it was a replica.

    If I could only own 1 car, but it would be any car I wanted, but I had to use it for everything that would be it.

    My current daily driver is my 430. Admittedly, I use my Miata as my "airport car," but other than that, the 430 makes a great every day car.

    I've never seen or heard of this car before.

    I'm surprised nobody has said 458 yet. They have a reputation for being very easy to drive.

    The Jerrari was a one-off custom car bullt by Bill Harrah.
    He was the owner of Harrah's Resort & Casino in Las Vegas for many years.

    First off, I would drive no Ferrari through a Chicago winter. I just have too much mechanical empathy for such fine machines.

    Secondly, I've had a fair amount of "nice" cars I planned to drive to work/daily driver and most times do not because I have no indoor parking for them. Sitting outside all day baking in the sun and getting dusty bothers me to the point that it offsets the enjoyment of driving it every day.

    That being said, I think for me the best daily driver Ferrari (in non-salted roads weather) would likely be a 456 (manual) or 550.

    I have not driven either but I imagine they could be more laid back than the mid engine cars.

    This in contrast to the 355 I own which, while completely daily driveable is high strung. Just the attitude of the car means I end up driving it more aggressively.

    Just as I was about to, you did :) although the F12 is a strong contender. My wife votes for the California.

    I've always thought GT cars make better DD than sports cars. It's nice to decompress in traffic after work but have the performance there if you need it.
