So easy to know when sam’s not happy and satisfied, just can’t lie about it.
Yeah right, he's the bigger hypocrite ever
I felt sorry for ferrari when he was tired and in a bad mood . This was a half hearted effort, and Ferrari should reconsider inviting him to events like this . Very unprofessional.
I think the problem is you didn’t stop for coffee. That would have reduced the stress.
Sam is wrong! This car is INCREDIBLE!
Sam,it’s a beautiful car but it’s for us older drivers who are content to drive and enjoy! Have a coffee before your next review😊
Would have been an interesting prospect seeing a Lusso on the channel but I bet we are all rooting for the 360 Stradale, looking forward to Podium next weekend and seeing yours and Tony's GT3's
Good timing with your 360 Sam! Have you seen the challenge stradale that’s coming up soon on collecting cars?
I can’t believe you didn’t get a coffee Sam
Every other reviewer has loved the Roma Spider and I think it's the best small Ferrari there's been in a long while but it's always good to have an opinion that differs from the rest, not sucking up to Ferrari Sam, loved it!
Totally agree
Some people only believe a mid engine Ferrari or a V12 are the only real Ferraris. I don't agree but everyone has a opinion.
A everyday Ferrari that’s not too scary it will bite your head off or too flashy. I like it, a great introduction to the brand like myself you have never owned or driven one.
Essential purchase if you want to be on the Purosangue waiting list
I was thinking this the whole time I watched the video! Ferrari is always guaranteed sales because of people wanting to appease Ferrari so they can get allocation for one of the "special" cars
It's an awesome car. Great for keeping at a beach house. Don't think you approached it with the right mindset. Cheers.
It's not a Porsche with a big ugly wing on the back!
@@sweetfreedomGB Exactly! 👍
Yes, exactly. It's a shame, but Sam (like every other boy-gearhead 🙄) can't seem to enjoy a car if it isn't a throttle-heavy suburban daddy racer with an ugly wing.
To be fair to Sam he did state throughout the video it’s a car that harks back to glamourous Ferraris of the past, the sort of weekend car to tour the coasts of Mediterranean countries, not the track day weapons like his Stradale or 911 GT3 which are far more his sort of thing.
To me the Roma Spider delivers what every Ferrari does and that is make the driver feel special.
sam is quickly becomes my fav car youtuber and im not mad. cant wait for the ytg cars and coffee!!
Sounds like an ideal first sports car for the well-heeled - or - for those who don't actually want a fabulously fast Ferrari!!
I still think Ferrari should build an analog special of the Roma coupe. Manual trans, aggressive passive dampers, analog (style) gauges…I’d take one in a Moss navy blue/white stripe livery.
Yess agree 👍🏽
Love your laid back open approach to your videos. You integrate drone shots to take us on the journey and the scenery. I think the car would benefit from a stronger colour but it looks classy
Sam, surely the point of this car is that it's NOT a track-mad looney thing? No Scuderia shields, no roll cages, no 4 point harness or racing seats. It's designed for high-end buyers who don't want to pretend they're in the latest F1 race while they're on the way to the office. Holding the lack of excitement against a car that's deliberately had its excitement dialed back is like criticising a classic camel overcoat for not being a lime green ski jacket.
You're totally right and I think I said multiple times that the car is fantastic and does exactly what Ferrari said it would/should do... it just didn't excite me personally. I'm just sharing my personal opinion and experience as I always do :)
I would like to think that dialing back the excitement level on a Ferrari should still leave the driver with a sense of excitement..... after all its still a Ferrari. I'm sure Enzo would turn in his grave if he thought his company would create an adequately exiting sports car.
Totally agree with cheshirered.
Would question why you drove it in first place Sam your mind seemed already made up.
Wow this looks EPIC!
It looks so nice and would be the perfect car to cruise by the beach in
Nice one Sam, watched it with an STG coffee. Looks like a nice trip, even without extra bits.
I'm not sure if I would have a GTC over this new Roma Spider, I love the look of it and it's a Ferrari!! Great video again
This comment is like NPC wrote it
I love the Roma. I thought your F-Type comment was interesting. I own an F-Type, and if I suddenly came into some money, I'd buy a Roma. A comfortable, fast, good looking, touring Ferrari is right up my street! Oh and congrats on the sale of the 360! Seventy large, nice!
Great looking entry Ferrari - enjoyed that thanks! Now back to work DG!
Love the videos as always Sam hopefully I can come to one of your live shows in the future ❤
Love the camera on the rear quarter. Great driving video. I felt the fizz just watching.
Absolutely lovely video and very enjoyable thank you so much
I like it. I am a fan of the Portofino, but this one gives me Aston vibes. I like it al lot.
I like it and having played with the configurator I think I could get one of these just as I want it.
That tablet on the dash is gopping
That tablet glued to the dashboard is pretty pants really for an up market car….. I am pleased they kept the rear quarter window, so many manufacturers have dropped this just to save manufacturing cost.. and it’s really useful…
Man, I read this as YOUR new Ferrari Roma! Hahaha looks amazing as always.
So you have a crush on the 575M currently. It's a great car. I've had mine for 9 years now and have loved every minute of driving it. Far more interesting to drive than the 296GTB or the Roma. Better looking too. Next time you're in Melbourne borrow mine.
I really enjoyed it Sam.
Thank You.
Awesome 👌 review Sam. Sam still looking at a Roma in coupe as New car think might be a good option or a ff or losa
Personally, since I had my first convertible I think it is a must because you get the 2 experiences out of only one car. Ps: my first convertible is a Boxster S (981) and it recalibrated my ownership experience, since it is a useable car but also a fun car at the same time.
For a second there is thought you got a roma
Love the MoonSwatch! Have you PPF'd it? ;)
This car with the Portofino M dashboard (dump the hamptic and tablet) and it would be a winner... Nice review Sam - Love Sardinia
Sam, great video, doesn't matter you think you couldn't make it great with 4 hours in the car
Beautiful car and great review I’m not being awful but my first thought was Z8. Fyi I mean that in a nice way 🙂
Stunning looking car, especially in that colour.
So love your honest reviews...which is why I never miss a Sunday upload!!
Finally an honest review of this car which validates my thoughts: it's simply an excellent driving convertible with elegant styling. Given all the other reviewers that are gushing all over this thing, I'm thinking they've been paid off so they can have a free trip. Any number of BMW M or Mercedes AMG convertibles can do what this car can do. If it doesn't compare any better than that, it means at over triple the price, this car is way overpriced simply because of the badge. Rich old guy prestige car that won't be pushed beyond the capabilities of a Mercedes-AMG CLE on any given day. Waste of money for anyone who loves the brand for it's racing heritage.
I think it is beautiful. One question though. When the wind buffer is in the up position can you see over out of the rear view mirror. With the camera angle it really didn't look like it but surely you can
I saw two Roma's here in the SF area this weekend, and I think the coupe version is far better looking.
Yes, I agree. I want to like the Roma, but it just doesn't have that "it" that makes me love my cars like the 911 and DB12.
That car is so spec specific. Roma coupe didn’t suit red but then that red one with the red roof that Rory Reid had looks lovely. I would take a black Roma all day as a daily… if interest rates weren’t so high and the old finance deals were still on the table 🤣🤣
Such a gorgeous car! Up there with the Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS, Aston Martin DBS Superleggera Volante 5.2 V12, Ford Mustang Mach 1 & Dodge Challenger R/T 😍
What an odd list
@@iiroyalty2519 a good list none the less. Has %80 of what I was looking to buy
Have you guys got any cars sorted for your Australia trip? Particularly the Gold Coast event 😚
Can we just appreciate the content that Sam makes props
Living the life Sam! You must be if you're just 'ho-hum' about a new Ferrari.🤨😅
Best looking Ferrari in decades. Very elegant and doesn’t say my weenie is small like the other ones
A bit taken aback by Sam saying its not as good looking as the Coupe. IMHO, thats the prettiest Ferrari since 458.
I agree with Sam. The coupe is gorgeous with its flowing lines. Never appreciated the California n the Portofino n the Roma until I saw a Roma in Verde British in person. Beautiful car. The soft top ruins those lines. It might also be bcos I personally don't like convertibles in general. There are just a handful convertibles/roadsters/barchettas that I'd have. Those being the F50, the CGT, the 918 Spyder n from recent times, the 812 GTS. I feel the F8 is a prettier car than the Roma Spyder.
I’m here to see your new Challenge Stradale. Has it arrived yet?
Definite shades of le daytona
I like it!
Beautiful car, but I think I get a very similar one top thrill, at legal limits from my MX-5, rear wheel drive and it weighs 1000kg, and I’m about $250,000 ahead. But, I do love that Roma!
I take the Roma any day over the others in the same category! You don't understand the the purpose of the car! Love the Roma!
Interesting that both the new Merc SL and Roma Spider are now soft tops with four seats.
my dream whip😮💨
When does the Challenge Stradale arrive? Please say soon
Video turned out great. Pity it didn't tug at your heart.
This thing is beautiful
Never been able to understand why there are unusable back seats with no legroom, a boot big enough to house a hampster and a ludicrous price tag, oh yes i forget it has a prancing horse on it, get a new mx5 and save 150k
but then you'd be driving an MX5... ewwwwww
More appropriate comparison would be to just buy a 911 cabriolet. These people see a miata as a poor persons cars. Pauper mobile.
I’m fortunate to be looking at this segment. Test drove the Roma but was disappointed re wind deflector (rubbish), one cup holder ( in a GT, where does my drink go?) haptic controls are slow, left foot rest too high up the transmission tunnel so my leg is bent uncomfortably, steering too nervous for a GT. Test drove the new AM DB12 and fell instantly in love. A car to put serious miles in. I’ve ordered one
The hard tops also had options for body-coloured or black roofs if I remember correctly, so I don’t see additional options as a reason. I imagine that some of the additional weight is from strengthening the chassis. I think it looks ok - not sure it looks better than the California though. I don’t think the Roma is a great looking car - a bit F-Type and I don’t like the front grill. I don’t think the design will age particularly well.
It seems to be a very spec dependant car. Saw one in Verde British n it blew me away. But I do agree about the California. I found it to be ugly to be honest. The Portofino was ok but again did nothing for me. The Roma Coupe on the other hand was really well done.
I owned the twin turbo California T and the top of line Jaguar F Type R series and now own a C8 convertible. I think I like this design better than all the rest of those. My only issue with Ferrari is having to leave it at the dealership for at least a week every year even if you only drove the car 1,000 miles. You have to do this to keep the warranty and it’s a hassle. My other car right now is a Tesla Model Y and it’s a great car and I think now I’ll hold out for an all wheel drive, all electric sports car.
I read this completely wrong, I thought you were saying this is your new Roma Spider 😂
Love it - amazing car
Go with the drop top. Better looking than the coupe top up or down.
Voiture très élégante, ce bleu/gris lui va à merveille, dommage que la capote n'est pas bleue également plutôt que ce noir sempiternel
9:18 I bet they didn’t even design that, it’s just the door/lid for a storage compartment. Somebody may have accidentally pressed the button while testing and figured out the open lid helps with wind deflection and so they probably ditched what would’ve been a regular stuck on wind deflector.
Almost expected Naomi to pop up in her black helicopter firing machine guns at you ! (bonus points if you get the reference)
Is it Rambo?
Well if he jumps off a jetty into the water we are in trouble 😂
Bit going through the motions on this one. Just close your eyes lie back and think of Italy 😂
Sam - i dream of getting invited by Ferrari to drive or review their cars. This is the dolce vita car - not the racing minded, full on car. I d love to have the Spider in my garage.
is the colour azzuro california?
“Worryingly good at just pootling around” wow you really did have low expectations.
It looks like a Chrysler Crossfire convertible. The rear seats being higher than the fronts is utterly tragic. Great video otherwise!
My brother in Christ did you just compare this to a Crossfire?
A targa version would have probably looked better but hard to store the top
@@neckray Indeed I did. Looks better than the Purospaghetti but that's about it.
To each their own 🥲
The Portifino looks better
I would never had thought that the AM Vanquish convertible from 2014 could ever be beaten as a glamorous cruiser….. I WAS WRONG …?? can a car look sexy…… on this occasion most definitely….. beautiful car, external colour is fantastic, interior of this press car flat, boring, with no zing …. Stunning car and the scenery is wonderful ….
The Vanquish convertible does indeed have the best side profile of any modern sports car.
@@GM-fh5jp only the side profile…??? Come on, all of its design plus that boot spoiler is on the money….. AM greatest design… Even the new DB12 looks front heavy just like the newer DBS …. This Ferrari and Vanquish tops for styling through my eyes.
I am not sure why the Roma sales have been a bit hit and miss....it is a very pretty car.
Personally I would never buy a Spider over a coupe, but that is just me.
I wonder if the V8 engine doesn't inspire....I have always thought that Ferrari V8's (post 355) sound a bit -meh!
Perhaps the 296 V6 would sound a lot more inspiring in the Roma.
Bro u selling the 360?
Yeah feel the same as you Sam. Meh. Doesn’t bring the dolce bite back at all.
Buy one Sam, list it on Collecting Cars and Nebett will pay 15% over the odds for it. Profits all day long! 😂
Sam you need to put some jam on the bottom of your trousers and invite them down to your shoes for a tea party. Surely you are still not wearing your old school trousers ?
So driving a Roma Spider in Sardinia with somebody else paying for the gas doesn't tickle your fancy. Understandable, but definitely a first-world problem. 🤣
Nice to hear a contrasting view, vis-a-vis, the Ferrari-loving chorus of most reviewers. And you're definitely spot on about that stitching/trim/add-ons customization being a money machine. Cheapest Ferrari (base price), indeed.
Sam you missed the point it’s a fantastic car, they don’t always need to be frantic to drive, relax and enjoy
Looks like an Astone Martini from some angles.
" to make the moula " 😂
How reliable is it?
Is it as fast as a Volvo EX30?
I totally understand why you don't love this car, because that a car is expensive doesn't mean you'l love, that a car is extremely capable doesn't mean you'll love it, that the car is a Ferrari (or any recognized brand) doesn't mean you'll love it.
It's all about the experience the car provides! And whether that experience resonates with you or not, I, for instance, would take the 296 GTS 🥰 every single time over this 🤔
The Portofino was such a better looking car. Very disappointed with the Roma's looks since Rome is my favorite city on Earth and I agree the spyder is worse looking. Great video though! Loving the travel + cars angle your channel is moving towards. Went to Morocco shortly after you were there with your Ferrari and drove some of the roads around Fez you did!
Congrats on the sale.. £70k ! Total result…
My impression from Sam’s experience was that the car in spider form at least just didn’t float his boat. Perhaps even a tad bored of it. From the point of view that I can’t afford to buy one let alone run one, but as a dream car… nah not for me either though if given free with all costs taken care of by a beneficent perhaps I’d change my tune. I have looked at a number of used hot cars such as Ferrari 612 the shape of with I really love, 456, Maseratis quad and tourismo also over the last few years and while they may excite on appearance and the way they seem to drive and feel, I find the fact that they are not especially cheap to buy used (although mas quads are) in the first instance, they cost shed loads to run and parts costs ridiculous and their reliability is often depressing. If I could afford to buy new, I guess running costs wouldn’t be an issue to me, but they seem to spend more time in garages for maintenance than I expect premium cars like these should for the money they cost to buy. You all may laugh at what next I’m about to disclose in that I have an Alfa gtv 2.0. It’s not fast by most standards. It’s not practical in terms of boot space, though believe me I have certainly made use of every nook and cranny when required to. And while it can fit two in the rear seats (if the driver doesn’t mind his nose pressed against the steering wheel due to the seat having to be so far forward to accommodate the rear) it remains bags of fun imo - to me at least. Further, it’s actually quite reliable and considerably inexpensive to run and maintain. I’ve driven to Loire France in it sometimes twice in a year for over 12 years in the 14 years I’ve had the car. It let me down once on one of those trips when the auxiliary belt gave out thankfully before I had got too far from home, but to be fair I had never had that belt changed since I bought it used in 2009 (yes the timing belts but overlooked that one). So based on my findings and experience I have struggled to justify chucking it in for something I fear would bust my account and leave me stranded high and dry. And there’s the thing. There’s nothing out there (including normal more reasonable cars) that I would consider chucking it in for, save one of my other old favourites and a completely different car altogether, the Daimler double six series three. Had the xj12 series 3 saloon. Loved it. It was actually reliable having got me all the way to Cardiff and Swansea several times until it was eventually stollen. However, they do rust and most good condition ones available are “ potentially dubious near rust free imports from Japan” or other equally recently painted where the rust will come through after a year again. So for the time being I’ll stick with my GTV which I know most of its foibles and it’s limitations, because in the end it puts a smile on my face still and still manages to turn a few heads, if only because other drivers are amazed it’s still on the road 😂
Would definitely have the spicier Portofino M over this.
Sorry Ferrari but that wind deflector is awful. It seems like a complete afterthought. It looks like you have forgotten to close a luggage compartment. Very poor. They should've taken a leaf from Porsche's book - the electric pop-up wind deflector on the 992 is a great solution
Quite agree.
Idk why ur making such a big deal over a deflector
Should have taken it from any Mercedes SL from the 90’s onwards. The best interior insulation of ANY convertible out there, ever. It’s simply the OG of the Gentleman’s GT Sports Car and it’s still incredible. Also, the SL r230 has the perfect aero to keep heavy rain out when the roofs open at speeds as low as 15- 20 mph.
@@fizzcarreviews7997 Design and detail are important on any car. The more expensive the car, the more important it is. Ferrari's solution here looks cheap and tacky from any angle.
Nothing compares to my! 911 Tutbo S
James Byron Dean.....lmfao......😂keep away from the petrol fumes...😂😂😂
'You're not worthy' (gr8 video tho)
I cant be the only one who sees the resembelance with the Fiat Barchetta.
Please try the Lexus LC500, thunk I'd rather have that and save 150k or so
Would the air deflector eject your child from the back seat upon deployment?
As an, er, "older" guy, I'm not so interested in lap times, more GT. As such, this would be a Ferrari for me. Alas, I may be an "older" guy, I'm not a rich older guy, so I won't be having one of these...
Love it,but i need Koenigsegg cc850 transmission 😊
