    I just bought a Ferrari FF and boy do I love it! I already have a 458 coupe, which everyone knows is awesome, but there's something about this car that makes me want to come FChat and tell everyone how great it is. It's just so amazingly solid and planted but has gobs of power when you ask for it and it's pretty roomy and comfortable for a 2 door car.

    I wasn't expecting to like the FF as much as I did. I think the FF is a car you really have to drive to appreciate. I still love my 458, and I've got a 458 spider on order, but I expect I'll drive this just as much, or more, than the 458.

    The car is Argento Nurburging over Nero with contrasting Gregio stitching. The interior pictures are a little overexposed to try to show the grey stitching. The black interior is really ice. Ferrari is doing an awesome job on the interiors these days.

    Very beautiful!

    I think the FF is the best all around car Ferrari has built to date.

    Thanks everyone. BTW I meant to say the "black interior is really nice" but someone it came out as "really ice" :)

    CMD140.6--> Enjoying, thanks!

    I didn't spec this car. It was a dealer demo but with a few exceptions it's probably what a I would have spec'd. It's just awesome. A nice incognito Ferrari with gorgeous lines and an amazing interior.

    The only thing I would have changed on this car was I wouldn't have put the leather trunk 'carpet'. I would have left it as carpet. I'm a little worried about the durability of the trunk floor being leather. It looks great but I'd like to keep it that way :)

    That said, does anyone know who makes a good trunk liner for the FF? Has anyone had one made for their FF? If so can I get whoever made yours to make one for me as well?

    Below is a shot of the trunk/boot of my FF. Yup that's leather... everywhere :(

    Really nice spec. Congratulations.

    I was always dubious about the FF until I spent 24 hours playing with them at the winter testing grounds in Lapland. Amazingly impressive.

    Funny. Mine was a demo too.... Wouldn't have spec'd it any different although I agree with you on the trunk carpet. Haven't had an issue with it yet though. I ended up painting the wheels a matte graphite/dark gray and added black wheel caps. Gives it a bit of an edge and sets off the brake calipers some.

    Those wheels are terrific and the carbon sets off the wheel. Mark I think that could be a great look for the car.

    Love the diamond seats, they just look so 'right' on the FF.

    The diamond stitched headliner gets a lot of attention as well. Probably more so than the seats. Might be one of my favorite aspects of the interior of the car.

    Yeah, love the headliner, too. As controversial as the outside is, this must be the nicest interior of any Ferrari.

    Lighter wheels look a lot better to me. IMHO.

    Agreed. The F12 has a gorgeous interior as well. I can't wait to see the next generation of Ferraris - especially the replacements for the 458 and the FF. They're going to be awesome.
