FERRARI consumer reviews

Lorena, United States of America on the Ferrari 599 GTB

It was a good car.

Charlie, Wales on the Ferrari 458 Italia

I love it man.

Sam, United States of America on the Ferrari California

 star rating

Ferraris - everyone thinks you are a show-off , but they’re wrong. This car is great, lovely on the inside and outside.

Martin, England on the Ferrari F430

 star rating

Nothing in the world will even make you feel so good, so special... sex on wheels. I have also owned Porsche, Aston Martin, Jag and Mercs and this just blows them all away. A car you wear not just sit in, to own is a dream come true. There is no other car that can stir your passion for beauty as this. Everywhere you go people look at you, remember you must dress well to drive as the attention is so special.

Sean, Wiltshire on the Ferrari F430

 star rating

THE car to own. If you have a love of performance cars this is the only one you need look at. I’ve owned Porsche, Lamborghini and Aston Martin and this just knocks the socks off anything. This is a Formula 1 car you can drive on the open road in!!! Nothing else compares.

Maurice, Wiltshire on the Ferrari 599 GTB

 star rating

If you’ve ever thought you loved a car, believe me it was only a crush, THIS is the real thing! This car is the most thrilling drive you will ever have and the most beautiful car you could ever own. You have to experience this car to understant just how perfect it is, and it is. The V12 engine just purrs as you drive and is so good it will make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.

James, Berkshire on the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti

 star rating

Let your dream live - just WOW!

Gordon, Scotland on the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti

 star rating

Floor the throttle and the power is delivered in a ferocious manner onto the road yet the stability of the car is never in question. Awesome machine.

Dean, Warwickshire on the Ferrari 360 Modena

 star rating

The only supercar to own. Perfect in every detail. You don’t know happiness until you get behind the wheel of this car and you won’t stop grinning like a cheshire cat whilst you’re in the driving seat. Pure, unadulterated joy!

Julian, England on the Ferrari 575M Maranello

 star rating

I’ve had this car for nearly a year now and quite frankly it is one of the best all round vehicles I’ve had the pleasure of driving. Powerful (485 bhp) yet not so in your face in appearance, and still exhibiting that wide bodied sporty aura to it. Also it could quite easily be used as a daily driver and a long term investment considering that it will soon become a classic just like the previous front engine Ferraris’. If you come across one of these beauties buy it without thinking twice but make sure it has full service history.

Ali, County Down on the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti

 star rating

I would have to be honest and admit that the 612 is not the best-looking car available but by far the roomiest and most comfortable. The V12 engine accelerates with vigour that the term breath-taking could we have been coined by a 612 driver. The braking and body control are, in my humble opinion, the best on any car. Although the 612 is a superb drivers’ car, the Aston Martin DB9 is, with all things considered, even better.

Holly, Scotland on the Ferrari 458 Italia

 star rating

Awesome.

Hunter, United States of America on the Ferrari 458 Italia

 star rating

This car is the best supercar period. Hands down, nothing will ever get close to it’s beauty and performance. Handling is amazing. Every corner is to easy and you can never throw it off. Speed is instantly insane with the heavenly sound of the monster engine. It looks like a goddess.
