2015 FF at Ferrari New England Opinions Please

I have one for sale at f or Silicon Valley. RM triple layer on beige so different look. My wife’s car so driven light and we bought new...one owner w extended warranty Just saying

 

That is a gorgeous car -- looked at it just to see what RM stands for ; ) -- somewhat ironic that Ferrari of Silicon Valley -- of all places -- has such an awful website and the pictures are low resolution and pixelated.

Anytime brother. Good luck with your search.

 

The FF and GTC4 Pano roof does not change color, is not electrically charged. I believe the 612 had a pano roof with the electrically charged feature. However, the FF/GTC4 Panno roof is tinted/ coated with a heat reflecting glass. I can tell you it works as I had my car in areas this past summer where the outside temp was 100+ F and the interior of the car was fine- even getting into it after it sat in a parking lot for hours- it was hot inside, like any car, but none of us thought the car was hotter due to the roof. I am sure having more light enter the cabin makes a difference, but I think its not as big a difference as many think and the technology they are using to keep heat out really does work. I like the greater sense of light and brightness the roof provides, even in the driver seat, the interior seems better lit up. Rear passengers always say how airy the interior feels.

The 2014 Rosso Maranello FF at FoSV (also on Beverly Hills website) is really beautiful.

 

I'm fairly certain I read somewhere the pano on FF/GTC4 is slightly electrochromatic. It certainly works fine for most places, just not locations like Arizona.

 

I remember reading about how Ferrari decided to skip the electrochroamatic type roof from the 612 due to the complexity and cost and they felt this works better. I really don't think it would be a huge issue even in Arizona. Its quite good!

 

You don't live year round in either Arizona or Hawaii, so you can't really say that IMO.

 

True But I spent a week with the car sitting in the sun outdoor temps over 100 and not an issue. Seems to me the sun should work the same in Arizona or Hawaii as other locations.

 

Well you own the car so I respect your opinion but when I visited Scottsdale the sun was absolutely brutal. I can't imagine what it's like to park a car outdoors in that heat for hours at a time in direct sunlight either with or without a pano roof.

 

It was brutal out. But we were all surprised that the interior of the car was not any hotter (very unscientific) than we expected. To be sure, the AC in the Lusso is not as effective at immediately cooling the car down as in a Mercedes or BMW, but it works pretty well once you are moving along. And the extra sunlight on our heads never felt like it was adding any heat.

 

Consignment. I can give u the run down but it’s a great car. My wife is driving a new portofino or we would still have it!

 

Boosters in the back of ff is harder than it looks. My kids wldnt go in the back and i used the front passanger seat with a Mercedes benz booster that had smart feature

Have you considered a panamera ..not a Ferrari but definitely better for families ??

Just a thought ..

I think it also depends on the ages of the children. I have teenagers and they jump right into the back of the car and say "lets go!" - they LOVE the car. My wife loves it too. Everyone loves Lady Lusso... I hope it works out for you!

 

I put my car seats in mine. It’s tough but it works...but my wife is always Reminding me not to speed that I got kids in the back lol.
