Ferrari ROMA

Just arrived at the dealer - picking up on Monday. First Ferrari - very excited. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login

 

Congrats! That looks very nice, especially the interior spec.

 

Wow! So exciting. Your first Ferrari is an amazing experience. Even more so being delivered a new car you spec’d out personally. My Roma is on a ship somewhere in the Atlantic. Hoping for delivery mid to late June.

 

Sorry, I meant mid July.

 

Awesome, I think we could be on the same boat. My dealer told me mine has been at sea for 9 days now…can’t wait!

 

Yeah, sounds like the same timing as me. We are definitely on the same boat. What is the estimated delivery date your dealer told you? My car is Grigio Alloy with black and and navy blue two tone interior and yellow piping and stitching. What color is your car?

 

First for me too. Should be a few weeks for my pickup. Tell us firstys what u think after a few days I’m really curious

 

My dealer told me it will go to New Jersey for customs, and will get inspected there. Then will come to Florida and more inspections/ software setup before I get it - expecting about one month.

Went with Grigio Titanio and all Nero interior with yellow stitching. I saw a similar spec when the car was unveiled and loved it.

Looking forward to seeing your pics when you get it - I’ve seen a Grigio alloy Roma in person and loved it, good choice.

 

It is hard to describe, but every single time you get in the car, it is an event. I’ve owned other cars (Porsche, Lexus ISF, Alfa, and others). At some point, they just become a car. But, the Ferrari puts a smile on my face every time and it never gets old. Even when the Ferrari is a daily driver.

 

I’m in Florida too in the Tampa Bay Area. Where are you?

 

I’m in the Orlando area- small world!

Looks like our 2 cars have been born together.

This is my first Ferrari- looking forward to getting plugged in with the Ferrari community and related car events. Hoping to do a Corso Pilota at some point in the near future.

 

Unfortunately the saga continues and it’s reaching absurd levels.
After more than 2 weeks (again) at the dealer, they now tell me that Ferrari acknowledges that there is a problem with the AC but say that they do not have a solution for it now… honestly, I could not believe what I was hearing.
They also tell me that they tested other Romas and all had the same issue. When the outside temperature is the same as the one on the AC (for example, 22 outside and 22 on the ac), simply the AC stops sending out cold air…
The solution for now is to always have the AC in the car a few degrees lower that the outside temperature.
I have never heard of such a thing and never experienced something like this with any car I had in the past.
Anyone else having the same problem? Apparently it affects all Romas.
Don’t know what else to say. It’s all too bad to believe it and I have now no trust in the car

So... it's a new model and it has bugs. This doesn't seem uncommon..... even across many makes...and going back many years.

 

Try to put the system in "AUTO COOL" instead of "Auto"

 

Thanks. I tried that too

I have been debating ordering the Roma. Spoke to my dealer today. He said there have been 11 updates since they got their first Roma. He said to me “glad you didn’t order an early one”. Everyone they have delivered has had issues.

Why Ferrari didn’t do extensive road testing before releasing this car is beyond me especially with new software/digital screen they have not used before.

Just to compare to my other Ferrari’s (812, Pista and Portofino) I think each may have had 1 or 2 updates.

Hate to say anything, but I have one of the first Roma delivers in US since December and I have not had any real issues. I have not had a single update as I don’t live near any dealers. I drive mine daily in Memphis in 90-100+ temps and actually thought it has the best AC of any Ferrari I have ever had, this is my 5th. I mean one time the front camera stayed on for a while and the alarm has gone off once or twice in my garage for no reason but other than that it has been near flawless. Maybe I am the luckiest Roma guy ever (and why I didn’t want to jinx it!), so I may need to light a candle to my Enzo shrine to keep the good times rolling

Think you may be the luckiest but it likely also matters what your specific configuration is as well. But why mess with success?

My latest tale is sad but hopefully has a shining light at the end…

Even though I have a
Roma and like it well enough, I am not impressed with Ferrari or the Dealers. This is my LAST Ferrari. Ferrari has changed and the Dealers still charge you MAX for the privilege of buying their car.

 

I just picked up my Roma today.

I love it so far. Great engine note!

How do you change the time in the displays? I can’t find this in settings. Thanks in advance for your help!

Nice spec

 

Is this colour rosso fiorano?

 

Looks like Rosso Mugello to me, just my guess...
