Ferrari ROMA

Give days into owning my Roma and two, probably naive, questions: (1) how does the bumpy road function on the manettino work? (Error message continually reads “not available in this set up” and I have tried all the settings I can think of … and manual not very helpful), (2) engine light warning intermittently flashes for low oil pressure - something to do with being new (less than 400 miles) or something else?

 

Five not give

 

Five days into owning my Roma and two, probably naive, questions: (1) how does the bumpy road function on the manettino work? (Error message continually reads not available in this set up), (2) engine light warning intermittently flashes for low oil pressure - something to do with being new (less than 400 miles) or something else?

 

You push the manettino switch in to toggle on/off bumpy road mode. But that is only available in settings like sport or race. I believe wet and comfort modes already have bumpy road enabled by default, and you can’t turn that off in those drive modes.

As others have said, bumpy road mode is on by default in wet and comfort mode. The car gets stiffer when you put it into any mode beyond that, hence it is not accessible in those modes.

Re point 2, I also had this on both the demonstrator that my dealer gave me while I waited for mine to arrive and also on my car. It's intermittent but seems to be when I am backing off from higher revs. I've raised it with my dealer and they said they've seen this on other Roma's which has gone away when they've done an oil and filter change which they're doing now and also Ferrari have supplied a software update which apparently helps. I get the car back next Friday and will let you know if it's resolved or not. Have checked the oil multiple times and it's fine, think it's just the sensor being oversensitive but it is bloody annoying!

 

Ok, so as discussed got my car back on Friday. Good news, the oil/filter change and software update looks to have resolved the flashing oil pressure low warning issue on mine. Suggest you book yours in for the same.

 

I also had the 'OIL PRESSURE LOW' message...

Like others, took it to the dealer... did a software update, oil and filter change. All seems good now.

 

Sometime this can be a low battery, do you have the battery minder to keep it topped off?

 

yes... I always have the car on the battery tender.

Very bold. Is the interior green or blue?

Thank you. Reminded me of the old school Porsche interior color, nephrite green. Lovely spec...T

Had a spring day without snow here in NW Wyoming. Took advantage to enjoy a nice drive with a good cleaning afterwards. This car is so much fun to drive and simply stunning to look at!

Andy

 

Stunning Roma!

I think you need to start shipping that beauty to sunnier States during the winter.

Any idea how many Ferrari’s are in Wyoming?

 

Thanks! It does winter over Teton Pass in Idaho during the winter. Does that count?

Don’t see too many Ferraris around here. I’ve seen a 328 this spring already. But too many folks buy Urus or one of the many Porsche flavors available these days (EV and ICE). Service is 5 hours away in SLC, so perhaps that’s also a deterrent?

Saw a white FF in JH in March.

 

@JHNurse -

Next winter you need to ship that beauty down to me in the land of Swaying Palm Trees.

I promise not to put more than 10K miles on it or rent it out for more than 20 track days.

I’m such a great guy, I’ll even pay for shipping. What’s not to like!

With regards to dealer proximity, I am 255 miles from Aston Orlando and have to ship the Vantage to them via an enclosed trailer on my dime for service. Ferrari of Orlando is the same distance. I guess that’s the price of admission.

Have you had any electrical or Infotainment issues many Roma owners are experiencing?

 

Well that is a very generous offer, LB!

No electrical problems for me. My wireless charging mat doesn’t seem to work very well, but I think that’s more of a design issue than an electrical fault. I’ll need to explore more, but it’s not too high on my list yet. Everything else works really, really well. The car seems well built, and I love driving it. Honestly puts a smile on my face looking at it in the garage and taking it out for a drive. Nothing but praise from me here!

Andy

 

That’s great to hear Andy, especially since you are a distance from your dealer.

I don't mind shipping the Vantage 255 miles to Aston Orlando for its annual service, but if I had to ship a new Roma numerous times without the dealer truly fixing the electrical and/or Infotainment issues I would not be happy, especially when I am footing the transport fee.

 

Agreed. I don’t mind driving the 200 miles to the dealer over some fun roads every now and then. But I would not like to be doing that repeatedly for incessant problems they couldn’t address in a single visit. (Or pay to have the car shipped back and forth!)

Andy

 

First time I saw it in person today while getting lobster rolls for lunch in Venetian River Club in Venice FL (I bet somebody from FChat? lol). Looks really great in silver, sound is awesome, I want one Probably getting pretty much on top of my list if just right SLS wont stop me

 

Was giving some mates/their kids rides this weekend in the Roma, have had a few decent blasts in the past but always struggled a bit where I am for traffic etc to have a really proper go, anyway, managed to get a few decent blasts with full throttle upshifts with full steering wheel led's lit while in Sport mode! OMG, what an experience. 1800 miles in before I've really truly experienced my car (was also going semi-gentle on engine running in).

General feedback - it's the single greatest thing I've ever owned...

 

Standard Colors for Roma:

Does anyone have a listing of what the standard exterior colors are for the Roma? I understand Ferrari may have made some colors that were standard as an up charge.

Thank you
