F8 Hey just noticed something

That's a baked in payback for chintzing out and not getting the optional leather back there. So next time you get a Ferrari you'll remember.

 

Once the allure of owning a Ferrari wears off a little bit and you start to study the car at all you will realize how crappy the build quality is. What you have noticed is what I call situation normal from everything I have seen.

 

Sorry about your bubbles

 

I just checked my carpet and it appears that it does not have your issue.

 

Just checked mine. Mine isn’t wavy or anything like what you’re describing. All I can think of is the cheap adhesive they use might be degrading. I was told by a service advisor that the sticky buttons and leather/fabric delamination a result of products made from EU mandated biodegradable sources instead of petroleum based and hence why they have issues. Don’t know that to be true, just was I told.

Who has good build quality in your opinion- and please don’t mention Porsche.

The build quality is pretty consistent with all the major brands in my experience especially as it comes to interior materials. Unless you get carbon there’s cheap plastic everywhere and the feel of the buttons tends to feel cheap. All of these companies are mostly concerned with maximizing profitability and not placating the car enthusiast community. Ferrari perhaps the most notorious for this especially since they went public. I’ve had plenty of seat time in modern Lambo’s and Porsches, not McLaren’s, and I couldn’t tell any difference in build quality.

In my opinion currently there are no cars being built with great build quality, short of Rolls-Royce. Hard to find laborers who have pride in their work anymore. Even Porsche isn’t what it used to be.
But the problem isn’t just with the assemblers. It extends all the way down the supply chain.

 

I would analogize this to the quality issues in new home construction, which I have noticed for many years. A large, expensive home may often have the same indifferent quality as a less-expensive, smaller one. You just get more quantity, but not necessarily more quality. The profit motive surpasses the desire to turn out a high-quality product. Fred

 

Well, my Porsche was far from perfect, service was equal $$ to my Ferrari, and some other poor bastard owns it now [emoji41]

My 2019 GT3 RS had to have the PDK replaced only two weeks into ownership. It was also towed twice because the first time they replaced the valve body and that didn't fix it. In all fairness they waived a $600 bill for some extras I had added and gave me an additional two years of full factory warranty for a total of six years. I also never had a problem with it again. All in all not so bad.

My GT4 was also perfect in its build quality. Fit and fitment are exactly like you said. No squeaks, rattles or anything loose.

 

Perfect build quality in my FJ Cruiser.

 

Cruising for dude love. It has nothing on the Kia Soul

 

I've seen threads on this in the past, I believe its just related to low gas. Pump it up baby
