I grew to love the shape. And of course the v12 wail. I’m one who thinks the 458 is the best sounding even over the v12’s, but still that Lusso wails. Lusso is playful, and not as showy as the exotics. Interior very nice place to be. Downsides…well like all F of the era constant little things go wrong, and I’ve said before when driven very very hard on twisty canyon roads the brakes are not there to inspire confidence given the weight and some of the movement the vehicle has under braking. Drive it 8/10 and you will never notice.

I agree, even if not my post!

the Lusso sounds incredible with an aftermarket exhaust like Kline or Novitec.

I have a Kline Inconel system that i took off my Lusso before I traded it and it sounded like an F1 car. Available for anyone that wants to get their Lusso sounding right !

Paddock garage is amazing! Expensive, more than the extra for lux car at a standard garage but probably worth it. garages on my block will not accept the my FF . So at the moment I'm garaging my cars in Long Island. Not sure though other than paddock it would trust any garage even with bumper protector. we have a leased Benz truck and they alway are getting banged up.

I agree on Paddock and park my FF there. No other place I trust. Great team and excellent experience.

I see the tradition of introducing oneself. As the title says, I'm a new (to me) Lusso (V12) owner in Manhatan. Not entirely sure the billard table smooth roads and disciplined, skilled, euro-style drivers of the neighborhood are the perfect mix for my new car, but we shall see. I will no doubt bother others attempting the same thing for their advice (bumper guards to protect with valet parking recommendations, anyone?) as I go along, but already thanks to so many of you who made the effort to post your tips. First F, indeed first sportscar in 30+ years, and there is a learning curve. You guys help with that immensely. Some pics to show specs:

Congrats! Gorgeous color combo! The only thing you need to do is mind the potholes. Even small road breaks can pinch the front tires.

+1 for paddock or hudson stables across the river

I at one point parked a lot of my cars underneath my building in the west village and boy oh boy was that a mistake. Normal garages are a bad idea.
