    The Ferrari California is an awesome GT car. The majority of people who say they don’t like it have not driven one. Like you said comfortable and plenty of power but not enough to get sideways like the f12 (love that car too!). Best part is Ferrari offers a warranty up to 15 years from manufacture date (for a price)

    Plenty of power in that Ferrari, when I was young, if you gave someone 400 hp, they went right out to kill themselves. Of course, the suspensions were trash, the tires were mostly junk and there was no traction control to fool you into thinking you could drive. This is why old Ferraris are so expensive. Most of them ate a tree, a bridge abutment or other solid objects.

    I'm sorry elliot but, the best starter ferrari is the one with a warranty that you can get out of with most of your wallet intact, let alone an FF Coupe Spider like this, as that name, that name should have never been fitted to this car, its like calling a new car a countach, as soon as you do that, you doom it to failure as its never gonna be as good as the original which in this case was a short and long wheel based 250 platformed car that shared its bloodline with the 250 Testarossa, the GTO and the Luxury Lusso, like you just cant attach that name to nothing. far better choice would have been to take the modern motor out of that hybrid they got going and call it the dino spider with a midengined take to soon follow, as a competitor to the cayman and the Alpine A110 europe has and even then I'd rather have a dino spider given how good that motor is, which you could get for the same price and be able to fix it yourself given its a fiat
