    As title states, find myself jumping in the 812 now to just get a carton of milk, top off on gas, any excuse to get in the car and enjoy it. Honeymoon period for sure. It's dual nature is so amazing from being a comfy cruiser to the back end stepping out on any application of throttle and scream of the engine..

    Would be great to hear from longer term owners on their experiences with their 812s and how many miles enjoyed!

    “I’ve had my 812 GTS for 5 years now, and I can completely relate! That honeymoon phase never truly ends with this car. The way it balances comfort and sheer performance is just incredible. Whether it’s a relaxed cruise or an all-out symphony of V12 fury, it always delivers. I’ve put 35.000 kms on mine so far, and every drive still feels special. Hope you will soon join the 812 family!

    Beautiful! Let me know when you get tired of it. And I’m sure you’ve already fixed the exhaust for me too.

    Had a F12, went to a Pista for 6 months, and then to my 812. Great GT car and I am underwhelmed by the 12 Cilindri. Keeping her much longer. Image Unavailable, Please Login

    why selling? They look great. I’ve debated aftermarket wheels but have had a hard time pulling the trigger. Really a big change and I like the OEM esthetic. Your spec is great

    My 812 is my daily driver, coming up on 5 years since taking delivery new and I’m at about 32,000 miles. I split time between this and my F8 spider doing about 10-12k split between the 2 per year

    Had my 812 for four years now which is a record for me. I normally get bored with all my cars once the honeymoon period has passed. Not so with the 812 for numerous reasons.
    The 12C doesn’t really appeal in the same way so can’t think of any other Ferrari I’d consider changing my 812 for.
    I feel the same for my GT4 RS. Both cars are noisy and have a sense of needing to be on your A game.

    I just bought mine. This has been my dream car on paper. I've watched so many videos online. I live in Montreal so the weather has been awful. Drove the car a total of maybe one hour the day of delivery. I also just ordered Novitec parts and I left my car with the shop thats doing a full ppf.

    I am SO excited to start life with this car. Based on everyones comments within this forum, it really seems like shes a keeper. I come from a 992 GT3 which I was lucky enough to also keep. That car is my baby. But it seems like this one will also become a baby lol.

    If there are any tips, anything else I should know about living with an 812 that I might off missed, id be appreciated. I plan on driving it and not saving it for the next owner lol.

    Very nice! This car is going to make you giggle. The incredible thing about the 812, it has two personalities. I call it my Jekyll and Hyde car. You will soon find out once this weather leaves us, but it can coddle you with comfort and harmony, and in a split second it will rip and scream like a wild animal. Just keep it on a tender when not driving it. After summer drives, I always lift the hood to allow the heat to escape for a couple of hours or so. The V12 gives off a tonne of heat.

    I'm incredibly excited. Thank you for the tips!! I also bought a CTEK 7002 I believe with the adapter on ebay for the car. I heard its much better than the one that comes with the car.

    I went from a 992 GT3 to an 812 GTS. Nothing drives like the GT3. It’s basically perfect and a testament to German engineering, but nothing feels like the 812. The emotion it evokes every time you push that button can’t be matched. It’s truly apples and oranges and I second the Jekyll and Hyde comment. I use that analogy re the 812 all the time. Best of both worlds. Congrats and enjoy
