Well done Ben, very informative and entertaining video 👍 It was lovely to meet you both. Very cool to see the process of how you make these videos, definitely a lot more work goes into it than I had previously thought. I think with your positive attitude and work ethic, along with your unique twist on the traditional car review, the #Dadcars channel is destined for great things and in turn, a shiny Ferrari FF on the driveway!
Some eagle-eyed viewers may have noticed some modifications to this FF. They are:
Lowered 15-20mm all round on the stock, adjustable coilovers
15mm Hill Engineering wheel spacers and extended bolts
Novitech valved exhaust back boxes
Capristo X-Pipe
Forza valve controller
Pioneer SPH-EVO64DAB Headunit with wireless Carplay / Android Auto
Thank you so much Dylan 🥹 I simply had too much to say about this car! Didn’t manage to talk about all the cool things you’ve done to it yourself… maybe a follow up video is required 😎 “FF DadCar king episode 2 - the Dad building the ultimate FF”
@@dadcars Sounds like a good idea. Certainly when choosing between this and Lusso, sometimes the interior tech comes into play. With the FF you can change the headunit to something up to date, whereas the Lusso's tech cannot be. Just one of many considerations for any would be buyers. There are no wrong choices here, just personal preference / taste / budget
@@f-carguy I stand by my buy a FF and take a month off work for a trip with your family option 😅… hopefully I’ll feature a Lusso at some point, I’ve no doubt that it will be nothing but spectacular 😎
Awesome car. Very interested by the suspension mods. 👌
Good channel
Really enjoyed it
It’s not a bargain though mate is it!!
It still an 11 year old car
Which is a long time for a car
And try selling one of these
You will be waiting months
They say that Ferrari sells you an engine, the car comes with it for free. The lack of 2nd hand prices is kind of shame, but great for anyone who wants a great V12 and a semi-practical vehicle. In terms of speed, it'll be slower than an M5, more difficult to drive than an M5, be less reliable than an M5, drink more fuel than an M5, be less practical than an M5, but it'll give you smiles more than any M5 could.
I’ve done a video on the latest M5 comp… check it out as I agree with what you’re saying here 😎
Looks more expensive than an M5
Dear Ben, great presentation of the Ferrari FF! I can confirm everything you say about it. I tested the F12 and the FF - and the FF won my heart. For me the FF is one of the greatest cars ever made. The combination of talents is just unbeatable. I am obsessed with it - I have two of those now in different colours. One can only understand and appreciate this car after having driven and tested it. I hope you find a nice example for yourself and your cute little family soon - and go for that road trip around europe!
Wow 2! Amazing 👏 thanks for the kind words. This won’t be the last video I make on the FF 😎
Any experience with a p0497 code
I am getting frustrated , have changed spark plugs , purge valve , dtml pump still comes on
I drive it from the dealer no check engine light then next day comes back again
Cobra - God willing joining the club soon.
I remember the very moment of release and the first studio photos of the Bianco. Do believe the FF and Lusso are the best road-going cars to date: unfortunately a bit too deep and an appreciation for mass market adoption to continue the product line-up. In an ideal but unlikely world, an evolution would complement the Purosangue product series. One of the few cars one would think of acquiring multiples of. In a decade or two, should no replacement come to market, most of these will be running in the hand of a sub-community of enthusiasts. (Sort of like the 456’s with those with the mechanical know how to keep that sensitive beast running).
Either way, rumors indicate we may have a future manual Roma ‘M’ to look forward to instead.
Mr. Ben - Fantastic channel and ownership review and community around the channel. A blessing I found this. Looking forward to the rest!
Enjoy the FFs ffs!
Only 2? I have 3 of these 😛
Had one for 4 years. Loved it. Novitec back boxes, Capristo remote valved X-pipe and it's complete. Loved every minute, now seeking a V12 Lusso. A couple of things....they are very sensitive to battery voltage so if the warnings come on for 4wd etc, just switch it off and restart. The trickle charger socket was updated in 2013 and then the Lusso has it on the outside, above the number plate and you can retrofit either connection. The PTU issue is well tracked on FerrariChat and seems to affect around 10% of cars, so too many but not as many as the reputation suggests. It's a bit like the Porsche 997 liner issue, too many but then you only hear about the problem cars. I did about 15k miles in 4 years, Le Mans, around Europe, North Coast 500 etc. Epic miles, every one of them. From late 2013, there were some updates and the trickle charger location is one of the clues. Like all low production cars, they get better through their life cycle so buy the latest one you can. Very late cars got Car Play but you can retrofit that headunit or change to an aftermarket one, like the owner of the test car has done. I was lucky enough to be inside the 7 year service pack but expenses on top in my ownership where a set fo Michelin PS4S, PPF on the front, an odd issue with the fuel filler neck that wasn;t under warranty for some mad reason (cost £700 to sort) and I optionally had it rustproofed and spent £5k on exhaust mods. The only thing it doesn't tell you on the computer is the MPG, and it isn't because they forgot to add that function! I can tell you on a leg of the North Coast 500 with a friend in a Pista, we filled up together and my car had used about 25% more fuel. But who cares!
4 years 15k miles 😎👌 amazing stuff sounds like you got the full experience out of it 👏
I have put a Varta AGM Silver Dynamics battery in, which solved all electrical issues ever since.
@@HansjorgGermann nice! Sounds like something worth knowing thanks for sharing
Proper motor !!
I have always loved the look of these , I find the smaller v8 Ferraris a bit on the vulgar side .
This is a proper Ferrari ,big v12 upfront , love it 👍🏻
I agree, something special about a v12 Ferrari 😎
Great video and well timed for me. I sold my E63s after 4 years and 70k miles last year and the only car I keep considering is an FF, and I’m now in a position to take the plunge. As a single dad to a toddler myself, this video was
Way more informative to me than anything else out there especially with how much room is shown when a large isofix seat is fitted. The owners car is spec heaven by the way and the subtle mods just make it perfect (owner if you ever consider selling please let me know). The issue with the FF is the ‘pool’ of cars is tiny as owners tend to hang onto them for good reason coupled with small production numbers (circa 300 in the UK).
And off subject slightly, but you strike me as a genuinely nice guy - you’re very respectful of other peoples cars you test and we can sense the genuine enthusiasm and excitement on each car you drive, but of all else - you strike me as an absolutely top dad. You remind me of me - My daughter is my life and she follows me everywhere. The fact your daughter joins you on these videos is something you’ll both cherish forever, its very heart warming to watch you both enjoy a car together. Subscribed.. and I look forward to more content from you both!
Thank you my man I really appreciate this comment 😊 you’ll have to drop me a message on Instagram if you do buy a FF as I’d love to know what spec you went for. I hope you enjoy the channel! Check out my one on “how to convince the mrs” if the FF is a tough sell 😅
Thanks Ben, for your enthusiasm and thanks to Dylan for letting you do the video.
Sadly without smell-o-vision the only way to appreciate the Italian leather is to go out and buy one.
£700 to insure with Admiral maybe not in 2024!
I am sooo! subscribing to this. Totally matches my current situation and thoughts on family cars. What a channel, what a guy!
Thanks! Glad you found us! Tell a friend 😅 I’ve got so many cool videos up you can check out 🙌
Amazing pal, extremely professional review. Not just your commentary but filming & editing too. 👌 Quickly becoming my favourite & relatable automotive channel with auto Alex & Mat Armstrong. Great work mate 🙌 look forward to more ❤
Thanks man and wow that’s a high complement 🙏😊 Dadcars review on Mat’s Gran Turismo would be insane right! 😅
Love the sound and practicality of the FF. Great video. Glad you were recommended from jayemm on cars,love your content. Keep up the good work 👍
ThisV12 is unbelievable 🙌 welcome I’m glad you found the channel :)
I'm so happy you got this review done. Can't wait to get one of these!
You’d love it James it’s insane, zero compromise if you have 2 children
I've wanted one of these since they were released. Now with kids it makes even more sense. Literally my dream dad car. Fantastic review and I can sense the passion of a Ferrari fan.
Thanks man! If you get the opportunity to buy one… go for it!!!
Very good video, Ben. The FF, such a great car - and those looks...incredible. Good advice on the servicing too. I've always thought that instead of warranty, to save instead. If the work needs doing you have the cash. If it doesn't, you still have the cash. Win/win!
Yeah that’s the way to do it 😊
Your best review yet, nice one.
Can’t think of a more ultimate Dad car.
Thanks man, mad what we’ve reviewed in less than 8 months on the channel 🥲
You are completely right! I own one for over a year now and every day it makes me smile and want to drive it and I do :) Best car ever!
I spotted one on the motorway today and I got that excited feeling in my stomach 🥹
Nope, not jealous. Much.
😅👏
Always loved the FF. slightly oddball but that’s the appeal. Class 👍🏼
Ben, I’m with you. Being a dad myself and car enthusiast, the FF has been in my list for some time and at a certain moment almost felt the purchase would happen. In any case, it is still in the bucket list and hope to have one along the future. Keep growing your channel (my support you have already) and may it allow you to get the hands into a FF of your own! Sucess
Thank you Andre really appreciate the support! I hope you get your FF one day as well! 👏
Wow, just wow. What a car, and stunning spec :) That's another level... great video.
Out of this world… 🤯
Ive had one for 4 years now and its one of the greatest ferrari of all time....and ive had many
Amazing! I salute you Robert 🫡
Good luck on your journey!! Let's go!
🙌🙌🙌😅
Brilliant Video! keep em coming. Love that car too 😍
🫡 thanks Conor
Ben thank you for the shout out for myself and SS Autotech. That was an excellent review of the FF, they are indeed a fantastic car and one day I'd love one myself.
Thanks again Martin, (Parkes performance).
Thanks Martin and thank you for solving the issue 🙌 if/when the DadCars FF dream comes true I’ll have you on speed dial 🤙😊
Was waiting for this one! Great to see you've reviewed the FF.
Can’t believe I’ve featured it already, dream
Nice, been waiting for you to do the FF. Looking forward to watching this!
Hope you enjoyed it!
Dude, you’ve won the internet with this one. Conquered Everest and rowed the Atlantic all in one. Awesome video on my fave car, immediately got me flicking through Autotrader and wondering if a family can live in an FF (one with tv screens in the headrest of course).
Thanks Jonny! It’s the DadCars dream 🥹
Ben - great video, your enthusiasm was undeniable and your sound effects were almost as good as the roar of that V12. I've never been into Ferraris - too much 'hey - look at me' shouty, but a Ferrari hatchback that sounds and goes as well as that has changed my opinion. Trouble is, every car you test has me changing my goals and I am already over my limit - so just stop it there 😂. Keep doing what you are doing as I can hear every cell of your body shouting "get me one of those! Now!!" one day, you will have one. Matthew
Amazing comment! Thanks Matthew! 🙌 those noises were involuntary I assure you 😅
I think I might have sensed you enjoyed this car Ben :) The man maths section spoke to us all! I do love the FF, the engine note is out of this world. Puts your video with Jayemm on next steps into context, you clearly have a plan and I wish you all the very best in achieving it! Cheers, Kevin
Thanks Kevin, I’m glad the journey I’m on is making sense! I’m heading in the wrong direction financially at the moment in regards to the FF dream but fingers crossed, if enough people enjoy this journey and find the channel I may get there eventually 🥲
Love it, love it ….. love it!!!!! Great video Ben!! ❤
Thanks 😊
Keep up the good work. Bought a 2021 Giulia QV in a similar colour combination thinking dad car goals…but this is another level.
Hey a Giulia QV is a very cool DadCar 👏
I'm going through exactly the same emotions as you. What a machine! I will have one by the end of this year
Amazing 👏 glad you found the channel, promise you’ll add some pictures of your car to the DadCars Facebook group for us all to see 😎
Did you find one yet Andrew?
just discovered your videos, love the concept ahah!
Thanks man 😊 glad you found us!
Great content on this channel!
Thank you! We’ve done loads of amazing cars and have so much lined up this year already! 👏
Great video Ben and awesome car 👍
Thanks Jack hope you are well 👍
Thank you so much for such a passionate review and enthusiasm.
I am the happy owner of a Ferrari FF and I can tell you that the pleasure of driving and sharing continues, also with children over 20 years old and their friends. Unforgettable!
For those who can afford it: definitely recommended while it is still possible in this terrible time of electrification!!
Fantastic, well done Mark you have an incredible car… I hope very much to join the club one day 😊
@@dadcars Your welcome (in the Netherlands). Send me a message if you’re in the area.
This brings me back to my kids in the back of our 911. They used to love to drive on the twisty roads!
Amazing what memories! I’ve done a couple of 911 reviews too ☺️
This and the gtc4lusso is GOALS!!!
I know right
Always loved these, hope you can get one! Love the passion.
Thanks! It feels a long way off yet for me 🥲
@@dadcars I know the feeling, but you'll get there!
@@1ongava thanks man 🙌
It really is a car that has to be seen in person and driven to fully appreciate. Great video!
It won you over when you drove one didn’t it 😎
@@dadcars I felt the same as you when it came out... It looked like an expensive hatchback but spending time with it in person, really looking over it, then driving it, changes your mind. Seems we had the same experience 😁
perfect car!!!! Nice review!! all the best!!
Thank you! 👍
great video!
Super car, super test🎉
Loving these reviews Ben and girls. Keep up the amazing work❤
Thanks Dylan!
Knew it had to be the FF from the Instragram post you made.
The four-seat Ferrari's have always been the odd-ducks that make the best 2nd-hand-purchase; the 456, the 612 and the FF all got poo-pooed and are now the best choice to buy. I saw a headline somewhere not so long ago calling the 612 the best value Ferrari you can buy (possibly a little click-bait-y but it's long way from the comments about it when new).
As for the looks, I thought it looked gorgeous at launch, and owning the "fastest hatchback in the world" sounds bloody cool to me!
And is an absolute DadCar; it has isofix points for crying out loud!
I can’t wait to feature the 612 as there is a good chance in time that’ll be my first Ferrari…
Hi there, love the channel, love the ff as well. It’s the car that got me back into Ferraris. Great video!! As a dad of 2 I always thoughts the ff would be the car to have…
Definitely hoping to see a CL63 next on the channel! Or a Phantom coupe 😆
The CL was getting a lot of love in the comment of the Jayemm chat video! A phantom has to happen! Surely there is a cool Dad owner out there 😅
Awesome. Looks insane! Sounds like they’ve got some work to do on that ptu (front gearbox power transit unit) reliability wise. But Damn!!!!!!! ❤❤❤
It’s a very special thing the FF 🤯
You finally reviewed the FF! Awesome video Ben - maybe all other 4 seater F cars next haha.
I do want to feature every 4 seat Ferrari 🫡
Great review! You've earned yourself a new subscriber. 🙂
Not sure if you are willing to consider older dadcars, but if you are, check out the Ferrari Mondial, especially the 3.2, 3.4, and T variety. These have better corrosion protection than the original Mondial 8.
Enzo-era design, and Pinifarina styling. Mid-engine, Ferrari V8 with a gated 5-speed (and a true manual gearbox, not the modern "manual" with flappy plastic bits). Best of all for a dad car... 4 seats. Car seats would fit easily in the cabrio models, but I'm not sure about the coupe.
Enjoy your family time. They grow up so fast!
Mondial is absolutely on my bucket list to feature!! 🙌 just need a kind owner to reach out 🙏
I totally agree with you.. when you experience driving a Ferrari V12 engine screaming down the road there is nothing on your face except a smile.
It’s life changing! 🫢
Great video, really brilliant car if you can afford it. Thank you for reviewing this amazing v12 monster
Yeah it’s a rare position to be in if you can actually afford to own one of these masterpieces 🥲
Great video Ben, keep up the good work.
Love the suggestion to take the FF over the Lusso and then take a month off to make memories with it. 👨👩👧👦🏎️💨
Thanks Steven 🫡 that would lovely wouldn’t it 😊
I love your idea of taking a month off work and blasting through Europe in an FF😎
I know right! Would be something you’d always treasure and be glad you did
@@dadcars like this point too, always thought there’s no point to a amazing car if it just you don’t have plenty of amazing adventures in it…
@@TheOrthodoxMachine that’s where the value for money comes from with expensive car ownership. What memories did you make with it 👏
Straight to ibiza in it...😂😂
@@andybennett1133 🙈 not what I had in mind! 😅
I've had mine just over a year and it is truely the best Ferrari ever. Instead of the lonely 2 seater ferrari i had for twenty years i can now share the passion with my family and friends. Its so comfortable and a weapon when you want it to be.. plus it still trumps nearly every other car out there.. you'll never regret owning one..
Awesome!! Congrats! You have an incredible car… such a special thing that sadly may never be repeated
Is it expensive to have? I mean does things break and so on? How much maintanance costs per year?
This video convinced me to get an FF without even driving one myself and it was the right choice. Love this car.
Amazing! Congratulations! I hope to become an owner myself one day 🥹
I love shooting break 3drs.
This is the king.
So damn cool 😎
Amazing video 🙏🏽
Thanks 😊
Nice review Ben 👍 Nearly bought one of these / Lusso before I bought the Taycan … the extra middle back seat with three kids swayed me. Maybe I reconsider when eldest starts driving 😀
I remember talking to you about the lusso… I’d urge you to test drive one, the looks make more sense in person. The Taycan offers an unusual level of practicality in a car that looks fantastic and unrivalled acceleration. I could fit a 4 across in the back of the Taycan and use it with all the family, plus it’s cheap to run, I stand by what I said about your car being the ultimate… the sound of this engine though is just something else 🤯 simply must be experienced if you can.
Or just get rid of the missus....😂😂😂😂
Good jobb!
Proper dam good car!
Thanks man!
I didn’t realise I wanted an FF until watching this - especially as I’m a dad-to-be! Great review, mate 👍🏻
Congratulations!!!! 🙌
Nice video. Fully agreed. I’ve got a white FF and use it regularly for the school run…. only parent who arrives at school with a MASSIVE smile on my face! ❤
I salute you Steven 🫡 DadCars legend 🙌 what colour interior?
@@dadcars black interior, white contrast stitching
@@stevendurant sounds stunning! 🙌
After subbing yesterday I am backtracking some of your vids. Liking them so far!
The side shot of this reminds me of the BMW Z3 Coupe haha
I know what you mean, on screen it’s awkward. What you don’t feel is the scale, it’s a large car! And very impressive in the flesh
@22:23 those are not your hands driving the car 🤣
Great video thanks 👍🏻
Great review, started following a few weeks ago and love the vids. After your thoughts if I can, this or a Rapid S on a 15 plate? Something I've been thinking about for me, the wife and my 2 young kids since watching your channel. Keep up the crackin work👍
You’d really have to test drive both to see what speaks to you the most. Both are a very physical special experience for sure. The FF has more internal space. The Rapide will offer better fuel economy… I need to do another Rapide video as both are very special cars and important for DadCarists like us the purpose of this channel 😊 I want to get a later S on with its touch tronic III box and the early Rapide which offers so much value for money
Gorgeous looking car and that plush LUSH interior
😚👌
I've been wanting one of those for a long time.
🙏🥲
I’ve just watched this…for the second time. I’d love something like this to replace my current daycar, a circa ~850hp Supra.
I came to the video thinking I’d skip through to certain parts having watched it months ago, but stayed for the whole thing.
That’s awesome thanks Matt! Comments like this make the 13 hour door to door round trip filming day followed by 2 days of editing worth it 🙌… if this channel works I’ll get one of my own one day 🫡
@@dadcars I’m no expert but the channel is one of my favourite, down to earth and some of the best reviews out there. Just likeable and honest content.
If liking and commenting more videos will bump them up (I have no idea how it works) then I’ll keep doing my bit so that FF dream happens 👌
@@mattharvey735thanks Matt yes that all helps 🤙😊
I am a Lambo fan but this FF is Ferrari's most beautiful car in my opinion.
It is elegant in every way.
🙌😎
Stunning
👌😎
Great video! Next stop eBay motors… dammit, got me on the road trip proposition. Doing a father and son trip next month in the Vantage. Wife and daughter will need the proper seats to join next.
Amazing! The vantage is a decent car for a road trip! Have you seen the video I did with the father son who are driving a vantage around the world?
i love sport fiats - there sound so good
Hi Ben & girls. Hope your all doing good.
That is one very cool Ferarri.
I still like your Aston Martin better.
Take care.
I may do a Aston/ Ferrari comparison video soon
@@dadcars That sounds good.
Oh man a real high point in motoring. It’s so sad that the 4 seaters now are all SUVs. Sports cars should always be low down or what’s the point.
Great review, I’ve personally never been big into Ferrari but listening to that noise and seeing that practicality is making me reconsider! (Not that I can afford it anyway haha)
Try a Gran Turismo 😎
Yh, I'm thinking about it too now..👍🤣🤣
Brilliant channel…🎉
Thank you! 😊🙏
Awesome Dad 👍🏻
Thanks man 😊

Ben - maybe time to invest in a kart for the kids.
I’ll take them karting when they are old enough for sure 🤙😎 maybe I should modify and electric kids car for them to play around with
I was an Aston Fan until one day I drove an F12 and a FF. Your right drive like a 4 seater formula one car, handle brilliantly due to 4 wheel drive . Only have had Ferrari's since best cars on the road, the pan roof makes it even more special. Makes Porches feel like VW's
It’s another world completely isn’t it 🙌 I must own one… one day 🥲
For a Petrol head its utopia, cannot understand anyone buying a porsche ,except for track use @@dadcars
I'm seriously, seriously considering buying one... and YT is recommending every FF video ever made to tempt me even more.
I want a white one with tan leather, if I can find one, or a black one if I can't.
Do it!!!! 🙌😅
Caught you on stage at carfest, looks like I have some binge watching ahead
Awesome! Today was such a great event! 🙌 hope you enjoy! So many cool cars we’ve done 😊
Nice to see Pickle enjoying herself
Yeah she talks about this one all the time :)
As always, I'm extremely jealous of you jumping in all these gorgeous cars. However, my circumstances dictate a much more humble alternative. As my kids are now grown up, I don't need a four seater, so I'm going for a coupe which is as cheap as chips to run, tax and insure with diesel levels of economy as well as really good reliability. Pretty rare in the UK as well, because only 4,300 of these were sold in the UK over 6 years. The car in question? A Honda CRZ.
I’ve always been interested in the crz as I see it as a successor In some ways to what was my dream first car… the crx
@@dadcars I always fancied the Aerodeck from the same era - really solid cars. Drove an early Honda Concerto 1.6 from Sunderland to Bath with my wife, two kids and my mother in law. As soon as my mother in law was lulled into sleep by the smoothness of the car, I applied the hammer and her only comment at the end of the journey was how it didn't take as long as she thought it would.
Saw this video just now. Imagine for a minute.(as you did) In 10 years time, you get one of these and make a road trip with 3 of your children. Maybe a second one to make the fourth one happy.
🥹…
Well that is the dream spec aswell ❤❤❤
Can tell the owner has really looked after that too! The paintwork is flawless!
I get what your saying with the M3 and the do sound S**t.
Soooo what about a rapide then 🤔
I’ve reviewed a Rapide S! Think I should get an early Rapide on as well
Good luck ❤
🙏 thank you
Just watched the your post and thought it was great. I have two children at 7 and 3 (4 in a a few weeks). As a weekend dad car this is awesome, Ferrari, V12, 4 seats and very, very cool.
However, there is also another to car to consider. And that is the Jaguar Project 8. 300 made, 600bhp, 4x4, Bilstien dampers and rose joints. It’s a left hooker only so in the UK an issue. But for the European camping holiday a Q car and a weapon. Thoughts please…..,
Project 8 is insane! But I always thought they were 2 seaters with a roll cage?
The Project 8 I believe could be ordered with a track pack. This included rear seat delete and roll cage. As far as I know it came with rear seats or it’s was a no cost option. There is currently one on auto trader with rear seats at £98k
@@juliansalt3813 oh nice! Yeah it’s certainly a very cool car, I’d love to try one… my heart says I’d take the FF for the same money though 😅
Different worlds. Crazy.
Super!
👏
There is Nothing like Ferrari❤
🤌😎
This might well become my first Ferrari soon
👌😎
I had a look at one but the boot is way more small than I thought as are the back seats. Sports car and a RR sport ftw 😁💪 Enjoyed the vid btw.
Suv, sports car combo is a winning formula 😎
@@dadcars I have a 600LT spider and V12 Vantage S for the thrills 😁 After watching this again I really think I will add an FF… Life is short and they aren’t getting cheaper! It’s also 70k less than a Lusso, and I think looks better too. Thanks for the vid 👍
@@MarkB4444 wow what a fleet 🤯… magic with the FF is it feels like a supercar that you can carry 4 people in 🤷♂️
Just watching this for the 3rd time…. 👀😁
@@MarkB4444 amazing! 👏 if you can afford it Mark, you absolutely have to buy one 🥲
Amazing car and a very good value for money. Wish I could afford one though
You and me both 🙌
Man that seatbelt extender at 2:52 looks straight out of a BMW E92 3 Series Coupe...
I own an FF and run it as a daily driver. I average around 200 miles a week and that's usually a tank per week of just running around which is circa 12mpg. On a run (I regularly do Kent to Norfolk and back) I'll get 320-350 miles on a tank. That's more like 18-20 mpg. If I'm not using it for a few days I hook it up to a Ctek charger and it remains happy. If I forget for any reason it does like to throw an electrical tantrum which sorts itself out the moment the battery is back up to full charge. Just consider the battery a consumable and put a new one in every couple of years.
That’s fascinating to hear, everyone I’ve spoken to about these and the F12 say it’s low mpg even on a run… be interested to hear from other owners calculations and could mention it in the next FF video I do 😊
@@dadcars It depends how you drive it obviously. At 70mph on a motorway run it's only a little over 2000 rpm so returns high teens quite easily. Most of the time it's around 12mpg though so I view anything over that as a bonus.
@@RedC220 it’s worth every penny in my opinion 👏
I always had a soft spot for the Ferrari GTs. I’d have a 412, 456 or FF over any other Ferrari in a heart beat. Except for a manual 550, of course
412!!!! I absolutely have to get one of those on for review!
For a proper 4-seater exotic car I think the Maserati GranTurismo 2018-2019 is a more cost-effective option and it does not look odd 🤣
I’ve made several videos on the GranTurismo 🤙
hope your dream comes true mate
Thank you my man 🙏🥹
Nice 👍
👏🫡
The best looking Ferrari
My dream 🥰
Considering trading in for one of these. Hoping to find one with the PTU already replaced with a rebuild
Do it! You won’t regret it 😎
@Dadcars I Have and amg gts now, and would love to go out with the baby AND the wife without taking two cars to meets like we have been
@@radius50 the looks and layout of the AMG GT are very similar to the FF, I think you’ll love it. And it will be just that, a very special Super GT car with proper rear seats for all your family! I’d strongly urge you to test drive one.
Hey, in multiple videos you are referencing low profile children seats. I can't get the information from the store what models are actually low profile. Could you please tell me what are the low profile models for kids 15+kg (son is 17kg right now).
I have an Amazon link and promo code for the best travel 5 point harness seat I’ve found in the Ferrari F12 video… although that only goes up to 18kg… The other low profile seats I use are booster seats… that one can be seen and links to with promo code in the GTR video. I’m always searching for more options so stay tuned.
Ben, is it about the same as the Maserati GranTurismo S in the rear seat space? They look similar in the video.
Very similar, I’d maybe give the FF the edge on being or feeling bigger… would be good to measure it though!
@@dadcars Thanks for the reply and keep the videos coming
