Yes its been only 8 months, I haven't enjoyed the car as much as I thought I would. The car is fast and well built but doesn't do much for me in terms of sounds and excitement. I thought I could daily use it but I think I need something much more comfortable. Trying out a Ferrari FF as a DD, so we will see how that goes.

A Ferrari as a daily. Hell has frozen.

I am doing the same thing, except it has been an exciting 18 months of ownership plus 17K miles later, a great car.

FF is an amazing DD. One of the best cars I've ever driven.

When I went to catless exhaust the sound factor jumped up big time. Now it sounds awesome.

I'm excited for the FF, should be a blast to drive everyday. I was surprised how large and comfortable the interior is. Hopefully Porsche comes out with their shooting brake car soon as well.

They drive great. To me they look like an AMC pacer. Just my opinion. The only other issue is you need another car, my Ferrari's have all been reliable, I have a 488 now, but it they need parts some times those take a while to get. The used FF's have taken enough depreciation hit to be used as a DD if you want to.

Man the times they are a changing, who would have thought a Ferrari would replace a Porsche Turbo as a dd????? I bet the Porsche will be 10X more reliable... First world problems I suppose.
