    2 months ago I traded my 2016 FF with 3800 miles for a new left over 2017 F12. I missed the FF, the F12 was a bit more fun but the FF was more my car, more comfortable, easier to control. I called the dealer (Ferrari of Seattle) and asked what it would take to trade it back. They strung me along for a couple weeks and didn't return my calls. Finally when I did get a hold of the manager he said the FF was sold and they had too many F12s so did notwant the one they sold me back! I have a deal pending for the F12 and thinking about getting another FF. The prices are seem to be down substantially. I can get a late model FF for the same price as a new Panamera Turbo with more bells and whistles but no Ferrari V12. To those who use there FF as daily drivers (when I had mine I did not use it as a DD) doesn't the navigation system get to you? How is the FF as a daily driver?

    I use my iPhone for navigation. Currently there is no car navigation I’ve ever seen which is as easy as the iPhone.

    Driving a Porsche is nowhere near the FF experience. Once you buy the Porsche you will be missing the ferrari and it will be an expensive lesson for you.

    I considered the Panamera Turbo as well but glad I went with the FF. I also use my phone for Nav so that is not an issue for me.

    There is simply no comparison. None. I've been a PCA member 32+ years and Porsche makes nothing even close to a modern Ferrari. And the FF is Ferrari's best kept secret. I'm on my second FF and third Cali T, driving both all year, see my post moments ago to another guy thinking about an FF. Ain't no Porsche that sounds like this which I shot in my first FF:

    Agreed even in the "newer nav" of our CaliTHS I still use my phone (Google+Waze) nothing comes close and it even sends the commands through the speakers if you are on a call or streaming music. The new Panamera is a decent car with close to zero excitement not to mention there are so many on the road. Honestly I would rather just drive a lower grade car like a 3 or 5 series because I just can't get myself to spend any money on big money on Porsche other then the one my wife forces me to buy (Cayenne Turbo) for her. Again totally my opinion..
