I hate that everyone keeps getting rid of buttons and knobs to replace them with touch screens. Buttons allow me to keep my eyes on the road while making adjustments.
And a good button feels so much higher quality
Its cheaper for the manufacture since molding costs a lot
Yes and sometimes the sunlight hits the screen and you can't see a thing
donayre21 especially for premium manufacturers, where you expect to feel the quality through the dials etc
I'm guessing its so you'll use them at red lights instead of while moving.
Also somehow it's cheaper than a button
Make sure to always have an air freshener in your Ferrari so it always has a nice a-Roma
Ba dum...tsch
Cague de risa mano
🤦🏻♂️
*I see what you did there*
Lol
I actually love the paddles being mounted on the column. It allows for them to be bigger, better designed and with a nicer mechanical feel. Also, I like that no matter how out of shape I get in fast switch corners, I always know which paddle is up and which is down.
The name's Bondi, Giovanni Bondi...
Does anyone know what music that is at the start and end of the video please?
James = Giacomo
It's so amazing what an Aston Martin knock off this "Ferrari" is
Gold
stolen comment ;)
He's correct. If you think the Roma looks great in photos/video, you will LOVE it in person. I've spent a good hour with the Roma and am hugely impressed. Big Win for Ferrari.
It is a perfect blend of the rear of the classic Ferrari 400 Superamerica with the front of the modern Monza SP1 / SP2!! I love this car!! Great content as always!
@Amarjit Singh Every line designed by Aston Martin is already been used by Ferrari in the past...
@Amarjit Singh Is that a bad thing that it has a design similar to Aston's or some other car, I guess not.
@Amarjit Singh Looks are subjective. It's your opinion and in my opinion it looks quite good.
@Amarjit Singh Neither do I but what I mean is that even if it resembles some other car, it looks good as an entry level grand tourer imo.
@Amarjit Singh 2015 Dbs over this all day long
Excellent car review and video Mr JWW!! your so much more professional then the other TH-camr's out there. Well done!!!
Looks like Aston Martin finally updated their interior. Good for them
Looks like they jammed a kindle on top of the center console and surrounded it with bits of a fiat!
It should’ve been a Maserati.
Thats what i said its a rebranded aston martin
Does anyone know what music that is at the start and end of the video please?
The interior looks like a Mclaren, I would prefer the Aston Martin style for a GT
The 7 years free Ferrari servicing is a big selling point to add to this elegant GT car! No other manufacturer offers such a good deal & servicing any of todays sportscars is expensive. I predict Ferrari will sell lots of Roma’s!
My Alfa Stelvio QV came with 10 years free service.
This car will never age. What a beautiful design. I‘ve never liked Ferraris, but I am absolutely in love with this one. Fantastic job, Ferrari.
Infotainment will age tho.
Imagine if this sounded like a 60’s Le Mans Ferrari 😍 would be a utter dream car. I applaud Ferrari for taking the lead on some smoother vintage lines in a world of sharper, bigger, more aggressive
Indeed the rice rocket styling is pretty unremarkable. But this is basically a Vantage design.
@@jrgb9945
It looks more like the classic GT series of the 1960s.
Best review of Roma I've seen, I learned new things! Wheel paddles, both have good and bad points and as I can't choose (yet) I'm happy with either. Enjoyed that - thanks!
08:45 "Feels like an entirely different brand" - not surprising given this was supposed to be the Maserati Alfieri.
WTF?🤯🤯🤯🤯
Hanniffy Dinn ...totally true! The Ferrari California was supposed to be a new, smaller Maserati. During the process, it became too complex and expensive. That’s why it was the very first V8 front engined Ferrari ever produced. Has you probably know, the Roma is built on top of a California platform. The Alfieri probably will never see the Sun light.
P G Jesus the alfieri to me looks way way better! It’s such a shame ! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
This Lamborghini looks so weird. Fire the entire design team asap!
DUDE, I was just saying that it looks like a Maserati GT!
That square plastic lump in the grill, not even centered. Dahell. C'mon Ferrari are you kidding me
Once you see it, you can't un see it, terrible bit of design.
Yea thats the sensor/ radar
Absolutely awful!!
@@donayre21 We all know BUT...
I was exactly thinking the same, so awful
Idk why they made the steering wheel a touchscreen
... if it ain’t broke don’t fix it
Does anyone know what music that is at the start and end of the video please?
Why?because they wanted to that’s why
@@adamandeve3592 Darude - Sandstorm
These car companies gotta keep on inventing new things to be able to justify the prices on their cars, and staying competitive
@@adamandeve3592 Jakarta - Bonsaye
Drive the SF90 ASAP ! Loved the intro montage 😍👌🔥
That intro is just so...... pleasing. I love it
I like the paddles being fixed. You always know where they are! You need to be pretty handy with a Ferrari if your shifting up with opposite lock on.
Congrats on the caterham race James.!! Looking forward to this. Quite a good looking car!!
Great video again mr jww. Car looks beautiful too.
Did you Photoshop yourself in the thumbnail?
yes he did. He looks somehow bigger prospectively :D
No manh.. its the background separation from the lens .....🤷♂️
Finally! The video I’ve been waiting for
Interesting point about the steering wheel and the paddle shifters. The best option imo is to have paddle shifters on the steering wheel along with a chunky gear lever in the centre, similar to what Porsche had with the 991 generation 911, which is quite helpful in the way that you can use the gear lever to change gears while doing a sharp turn instead of using the paddles which switch places while turning, although you've to take one of your hands of the steering wheel to do that.
The vids of JWW are always such high quality
10:15 "Windshield wiper motor failure. Go to dealer" on the dash ...
10:40 "Low beam failure"...
...it's still an Italian supercar then...!
And, that square block of plastic in front splitter :/
Yeah but if they're doing all that tech, you'd hope they could make the windscreen wipers and lights work...!
Let's talk about all the McLaren senna burning in hell in the first 24 hours lol it's a British super car at the end lol
It's still a pre production I think tho
These cars are still pre-production. Some other car journalists mentioned that and that Ferrari still has a lot of work to do before Roma is ready for clients.
punk
Huge pedals on the column for me, but if they are large enough and feel tactile enough either is acceptable. I’m used to driving a Giulia and stelvio QV for the past 2 years and I love the column shifters on them, which are basically identical to Ferrari. I really dislike small plastic shift paddles. If you put them on the column then by default they will always be large enough by necessity of needing to reach them. Cars with wheel mounted shifters tend to cheap out on them more often.
Exactly!
When you shift gears it all happens before the corner!
Therefor you always have your hands on the wheel even with colomn mounted shifters.
Shifters on the wheel irritates when you turn the wheel and get accidentally on the shifter and dont know for seconds where is up and where down to shift.
Agreed... I love my Alfa Giulia paddles compared to my M3 and S5. Just learn to use the index and pinkie fingers more when at extremes
Good video, as always. Nice Aston 😜
Stunning car & opening of the video! Oh to go to Italy 🇮🇹 Thank you for immersing our eye 👁 balls! What a Ferrari - love the 60’s Lusso inspiration. A dream machine 🙏🏾
Shields, coloured brake calipers, yellow wheel centres and contrast stitching have become a cliche. So many used examples are visually a dogs breakfast.
This is far classier without any racing influences. Very smart and a guaranteed big seller for daily users.
Cheshire Red
i totally agree with you. Good comment.
What a beautiful car! It's a piece of art indeed.
About time !!!! I’ve been waiting on this one!!!!!!
Another great video, thank you! To answer your question, I like the paddles on the column- they are always in the same place and you really shouldnt be shifting with the wheel turned too much anyway
Correct. See Barcelona, Hot laps 458 Alonso and Massa. The steering wheel is always centred before a gear change.
Absolutely beautiful! My favorite Ferrari! Love the very clean design! So smooth! Simple yet gorgeous! Must have one! 👍
How i love those round lights of the past decade :(
That thing is gorgeous! Great review James. Which color combination would you say looks best?
Jolly interesting I have always thought paddles on the wheel always made sense to me..this is by far the best review I have seen so well explained informative understandable bravo grazie grazie Mille ciao ciao
Glad you enjoyed it thanks James 😎🏁
Oh joy. Touch screens.
I love how the driver and the passenger each have like their own 'zone'.
Like the Corvette C8
This dude spams a lot of ads won't be watching him again
@@astronmr20 Nope, like Jaaag F-Type.
A very good review .. so honest Mr JWW. When does the soft top come out :-).?
10:39 I could hear the thud of his heart when it oversteered😁😁
I don't care what everyone says, I think the Roma is gorgeous.
Everyone: nah.
Only joking ... good looking car.
🤣
@ColoradoStuff Even if that were true (it isn't), how is calling it an AM an insult?
@ColoradoStuff AM have made the most beautiful cars in the world. If it looks like them, it must also be that beautiful.
@ColoradoStuff it's just front engined. Don't know why you would call it aston martin. The windows are quite distinctly ferrari
I agree - it looks stunning!
Amazing car love it and I’m waiting for my order 2022 the same but color Blue tour de france
Nice review, as always. Just a question, as a 922ts owner, would you prefer Roma or Turbo S as daily driver?
been waiting for a good video of this car
Why I always find out that you were in my region after the fact?! T_T
Anyway beautiful car and I'm especially happy that Ferrari finally changed the interior! I really like what they're doing!
Where is it please Alberto? Tuscany? Do you know the town on top of the hill? I want to visit. 😎
@@marky9117 I believe it's just around Modena
@@marky9117 No, it's Piedmont! All the video is shot in a zone called Langa(or le Langhe), a great spot for wines(mainly Nebbiolo, Barbaresco and Barolo) and cuisine!
You should definitely check it out if you can! And I also advice to discover Monferrato, another great spot for wines and cuisine although a lot less famous than the Langhe!
About the town on the top of the hill I don't know at which you're referring to 'cause a LOT of little towns are on top of the hill in this region :D
Obviously also Tuscany is very nice tho :D
Alberto Gabri That’s great info thank you. I’ll make that the destination for our next roadtrip. We’ve done Lake Como and Garda before plus Tavullia (Rossi!! 😄) and Coriano (Simoncelli museum 😔) also Passo del Muriaglione, Stelvio, etc, etc. You live in a beautiful country. 😎 Thanks again. 👍🏻
@@marky9117 no problem at all! Always a pleasure to help a fellow petrolhead and even better a MotoGP fan :D
Why is that screen changes soooooooo slow? That should drive me nuts 🤪
Yeah, hopefully Ferrari will work on that latency as it's not up into that premium / high end category!
And what will it look like 20 years from now?? 😂😂😵
Italians aren't known for their Computer Science capabilities....
Smashed the like button! Awesome 😎 review of an amazing super car 🚘
So what happens when,as in a lot of Ferraris, the battery goes flat with no analogue door handles....🤔😁. I can think of worse places to be stuck in mind you!😝. Superb content as ever sir and wonderfully presented and shot....utter class.☝️
Hi James ! Just wanted to say that the content you provided us with recently has been fantastic ! Thanks :-)
A comparison between the 992 & the Roma would be very interesting!
Paul De Cuyper 992 would destroy it but It would be nice too see
So long to the days of truly beautiful Ferrari interiors. Keep bringing us the quality content JW!
I am constantly amazed at these videos of these guys can go around a blind corner as fast as they do if you did that in the state should be running into bicyclist motorcyclists another cars and trucks I guess maybe it’s a close circuit with a professional driver doesn’t look like it but I guess it could be
Looks incredibly like an Aston Martin Vantage! That's not a bad thing of course...
@footballcoreano with what model?
@footballcoreano Ferrari copied the E-Type.
One of the best content maker in This plateform very detailed review
Hats off mate
simp
Whatever we think about the styling and the direction that Ferrari is going... dont forget the cinematography... good job, especially that intro - that was epic
Re the paddles position, If you use pull push steering the fixed paddles will pretty much be always in the right place. Also for road driving using pull push you will never run out of steering, which on a mountain hairpin in a fast powerful car could get a bit tricky
The lag is crazy with the screens on the display when you were switching between them. Why do car manufacturers still struggle so much to have a fluid system
its probably staggered on purpose, you don't want screens sliding by too fast, distracting and you keep passing by the screen you want. you want the screen move to relate to the press.
I've seen this setting as a configuration option in software.
@@dagnut He's talking about frames per seconds, that animation is at 15 FPS or less, it's NOT fluid (fluid doesn't mean fast or slow) it's kind of unacceptable, I mean you would hate that even on a low end 100€ smartphone. I hope they'll fix that.
I miss Italy….
Well it’s not going anywhere
I think paddles on the column is better when your steering wheel is off center and you have to move your hands around quickly in different places, when drifting etc the shifter you want will always be in the same location rather than spinning around all the time.
21:15 Column paddles reduces the margin of error during cornering. Steering mounted can make the driver loose sense of which paddle does what and which position they're currently in while cornering, as opposed to column mounted which makes the movement more regular and automatic, so drivers don't have to think about it. Vast majority of race cars use column even tough they only have 540 degree steering rotation.
Looking to forward seeing the welding you’re gonna do with those welding goggles!
What are those glasses?
George Joseph I think they’re Thom Browne, not sure.
Not funnay
James! When are we getting an update on the bunker's build progress?
Yes an update please and did you see Shmee, he was down there too eating pasta and dancing around a beautiful red Roma ....girl 😊
I think column mounted pedals are better. I think it helps with durability of the pedals. And being on fixed position, helps take pressure off the mind. U dont have to constantly track where which pedal is.
Excellent review!!
This new Aston Martin is sweet 😳😳
THHHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIISSS is the ferr.....
oh, wrong channel
Looks absolutely breathtaking. One thing (might just be me) but I just can't help but think that the engine note reminds me of one of my first cars, a Honda Civic. I hope it is just the recording and it sounds much better in person.
I Would love to hear a better quality audio from you. Audio is more important than video. Atleast for me. Awesome content though 👍
So, how does it drive? *WHILE POWER SLIDING ROUND A CORNER*
At least they kept the classic engine warning light. Quite the nostalgic touch.
James, what a stunning ferrari. Thanks for the telling of the spec's and some ferrari appreciation.
There is an elegance to the design that I am obsessed with. A Ferrari without shouting "Look at me". Just wish it sounded like the Aston Martin Vantage.
Every time I see this and before I read the title or whatever... I see Aston Martin
Completely agree
@@chadgraber4575 no, Jaguar
The Aston Martin that it looks like is the DB10 which was built for the James Bond film, Spector. There were only 10 of those built. Only 1 was sold to the public and sold for over 3 million dollars.
I love the look of that car so the fact that the Roma looks like it is actually a plus to me.
I see Maserati
I see Speed Racer’s Mach 5
Paddles mounted on the column is the best way, because the paddles always there where you expecting them. And in a corner no real good driver shifts, brakes or accelerates. You slow down before the corner to the right speed and when you left the corner and the steering is straight again you can accelerate, so you are always fast and you have always the maximum of traction.
As much as I like modern cockpits of cars, this Ferrari has not a very good balance between buttons and touchscreen. In this case I like the concept of Gordon Murrays T.50 much more; that's infotainment system doesn't age so quick as the on of the Roma.
Regarding the paddle shifts . With steering angles beyond the reach of the paddles which would essentially be a tighter corner, would you shift up ? Considering you entered the corner in the right gear
Only shift gears when the steering wheel is straight ahead is the proper technique. What a stunning beauty. Thank you for the review
This is the most beautiful Maserati Alfieri Ferrari has ever built
Looks like an Alfa Brera at the rear .... plus I’ve never understood why they spend all that money time and research designing the front end but negate the legal need for a number plate...🤷🏽♂️
some countries/provinces/states don't require front licence plate.
Jay L vast majority do though I would say. I’m just surprised no manufacturers have come up with a better design solution
maybe some regulators r simply stupid.....
I believe in the US they dont need front end number plates and as such dont include a recess for it. Alfa were notorious for it with their grill pointing down to the ground, meaning you had an offset number plate in the rest of the world
Juergun Magerkinsquirter what’s wrong with an offset plate?
Man I was waiting for you to review this car :):):)
Hi, how soft are the dampers / the suspension? Does it iron out road imperfections?
Not sure about the front grille, or this general direction they're heading. It's a nice car but doesn't feel very Ferrari.
Benjamin Walker I’m not hot about it either. But Ferrari is ALWAYS ahead of the game in design. The 458 was radical and strange. Now, beloved. The 360 was horrendous when it came out as it was bulbous. Many car companies copied that. Now the car is a classic icon....the standard to what people think a Ferrari is. The Roma will grow on you.
It's a classic front engined Ferrari for the adult.
@@ricknineg I hope it does grow on me
@@scamdemicusmaximus5109 more of an 812 or f12 tdf guy myself if we're talking 'front engine for the adult'. I see the Roma more as an older demographic Grand Tourer. Nothing wrong with that. Just prefer the former mentioned above.
To me this car seems like it's geared towards the Aston Martin audience, it just seems more sophisticated when it comes to looks.
Aston Martin, McLaren, and Ferrari all mixed in one. I dont like it, but I guess I see the appeal.
Tom, you took the word out of my mouth. I can see a lot of british design features. Especially Aston Martin. In a good way cos I think the car isstunning
Tail lights remind me of a Corvette. 🤮
The rear arches are also very GT86esque :P
@@phacomd no they don't
Stop acting childish.
Nope
Awesome video!
I thinks it’s a really good looking car. But which would you rather have, this or a new vantage??
Great vid as usual Dude!
Eyes on the road. Eyes on the road. Eyes on the road. Changes switch gear to touch screens so there's no tactile feel and you have to look at the buttons.
that's what I told til about some years. Then I bought my first car with almost no buttons, a simple Peugeot 308 GT. First I was really confused (also with the Peugeot's own way of cockpit management). But now I got used to it and I still find the cockpit with less mechanical buttons organized and cleaned up. Look for example the new Corvette C8 with the armada of buttons in the middle... for me a NO GO!
@@albertpflugfelder8590
That requires training buttons do not require training they can be felt by everybody and are far easier to locate and move.
looks like a Modern take on the 612 Scaglietti 😯
Great car and perfect place to test drive it, the langhe area is just so gorgeous
I prefer shifters on the colmn.
Because you always shift gears before and after the corner!
Racedrivers do this so even we have learn it in the school of driving license.
Therefor you always keep your hands on the wheel in corners. Shifters on the wheel irritates when you turn the wheel and get accidentally on the shifter and dont know for seconds where is up and where down to shift.
Looks like people aren't a huge fan of this car's design. I like it.
Well, good for you
Me too the most beautiful Ferrari on the current lineup to my eyes
Not a fan of the spoiler, but other than that, it’s perhaps one of the most beautiful designs of the past 5 years
Absolutely beautiful car. I agree with others that for people that have never driven or even been around a Ferrari, this would be the ultimate first choice Ferrari for them. The exterior is exquisite, I absolutely love the interior with the cockpit and center section divide, and the forward menu and touchscreen steering wheel is awesome. I just love it. Great job Ferrari
Nice review
I want to have the shifters of the steering wheel. I’m happy that Ferrari keeps doing that. Stunning car though. Absolutely stunning!
This car is all about the new infotainment but it looks so laggy
Maybe because of being preproduction model
@@yoker3032 hopefully, I hope they fix it for the production model
Tomorrow a buddy is going to Germany to review and probably buy a low mileage F355 Spider. Went to test drive a few with him. I cannot wait til that car arrives. I LOVE YOUR REVIEWS!! Yet MY GOD a touch screen for the engine start and a passenger screen to handle the infotainment????? I hope (however electric it all will be) that we can show newer generations that driving can be about the driving, not about BS (or what you can also do on an iPad).
I test drove one and loved it. Got the back end loose by mistake coming out of a turn- with salesman behind me in a separate car- whoopsi. The only draw back for me, a traditionalist at 69 years old, the digital displays- even the tach! Its way too much to deal with when your trying to drive at high speeds- or even low speeds- but it is the way things are today. On to the next generation!
Paddles on the column all day !!
Does anyone know what music that is at the start and end of the video please?

It kind of looks like modern Aston Martin cars but it is also and more importantly very reminiscent of old front engined Ferrari coupés (Daytona comes to mind for exemple).
@@AxLWake i agree
aston martin spectre LOL
I actually prefer paddles on the column. It just helps knowing that the upshift and downshift paddles are always where you expect them to be, even mid corner whilst applying lock 😁
Amazing work, felt that car in my face. I prefer steering column mounted paddles.
