    After a little back and forth with Ferrari of Newport Beach I finally bought this gorgeous T. First time buying Ferrari from a dealer. Nice to have the power warranty too which they threw in, assume it will help resale as I keep the cars for usually around 18 months. I owned 355, 360 and 458 and after 3 days of driving this now I can say it totally accomplishes the mission of what I needed: the wife loving it. She's totally in love with it as the other cars were always "stressful" to her- this she drove all day yesterday and wouldn't even let me behind the wheel.Today we'll do a trip too and I doubt I'll see the steering wheel from the front haha.
    It's nice to have a relaxing Ferrari but still a REAL Ferrari for a change. I love the driving experience and comfort, especially coming from the 458 fighter jet!
    Super nice car, it is one of those Ferraris that looks even better in the flesh. Also my first time having Cuoio and it's really nice. Glad to be part of the T family for the next foreseeable future ;)

    Agree with everything you just said, absolutely LOVE our Cali T. Wife loves it as well. Happy Wife.... you know LOL.
    Congratulations!
    Enjoy the ride.
    PS just found out button C on the right knee bolster (looks like a slice of bread IMHO) changes the camera views rear or front!

    Beautiful car, congratulations! Nice to hear it's great from an experienced Ferrari owner, I started out seeking a 458 but just needed more interior room.

    That's news to me, I have had mine for 3 months! It's going to be a long week thinking about that until I can check it out!

    After selling my 355 8 years ago I am currently in the hunt for another FCar and I am going to buy either a Cali 30/T or 458 Spider.

    Whichever great car at a great price comes first is going to win and I will be happy with either!!!!!

    Beautiful car! Enjoy!

    Same here, coming from an F430 Spider which my wife did not like due to rough ride and noisy and harsh shifts - she loves my Cali T!

    Have fun and be safe!

    I have to admit the same sentiment with the Cali and Cali T is more enjoyable and less stressful on the roads then the mid engine Ferraris. I had 355's, 360, F430, 458 and prefer driving the Cali. I must be getting old! (Although i still have the Mclaren for occasional fun).

    Agree, its easier to just enjoy the Cali T for the excellent GT that it is, when I have the Viper for any more serious street or track use.
    That being said Cali T is still a very fast car in the 200 MPH club as well.

    Agree that the car looks better in the flesh than in pictures. Got my Cali T from their sister dealer in San Diego almost a year ago and I still can't keep my eyes from looking when I walk into the garage. Congrats! You will love it!
