This car is not ugly. It's one of my dream cars. It looks unique, and it's the most luxurious Ferrari I've ever been in. The V12 engine also packs quite a punch.
+Vauxhallmadness UK Of course, rich people didn't get that way by being idiots with money. But that doesn't mean they aren't idiots in other ways though ;p
This car is ugly? Compared to what? It looks better than your typical hatch and looks a lot better than most cars on the road. I'll admit, the frog of the car is too long but that's what you get for having a V12 engine. Y'all need to understand the point of a shooting brake. It isn't "ugly" it's just not sexy. It's better looking than a sedan or hatchback but still carries the sleek look of a coupe while being practical. It's handsome.
💯 Im glad he left. Imagine getting this opportunity only to trash talk and do a 'Practicality test' on it. There were some humor touches but his directing messed it up. Personally I think Aston Martins front grilles are ugly and overrated. They look like a miserable Galapagos lizard yawning. The FF got it spot on with the cool grimace!
they succeeded in making an every day car maintaining the good looks and performance and most important identity, good job Ferrari, a car you can treat as sport car and a family car, not an easy thing to engineer.
Most of you who watch this channel must have already realized that Carbuyer isn't a supercar reviewing channel, not like drive, or EvoTv etc. So for them to get a a highly exclusive car like the FF, and even shoot with it in public, it must have taken a ton of hardwork. So cheers Mat, for steping up your game and always keeping us always informed and entertained. I personally won't come across most of these cars, but now, I might as well have. On behalf of all the viewers I thank you Mat :)
Really wasn't sure about this car when it first came out, but I love it now, shape's grown on me and that interior is delicious!!... pity it's about £200k over budget but hey, we can dream can't we! :)
You have to consider the fact that the Panamera will never be able to do what this does. Yes it's a bit more practical, and yes the suspension in the Panamera is more comfortable. But when you hit that starter button, hit your Capristo remote, and feel the ease, lightness and directivity of this car, as you eat up the twisties along your journey, it simply does not matter. A Panamera will get you to your destination swiftly, and this will have you home an hour late because you chose the long route, and maybe.turned left a few times where you were supposed to have turned right. Nothing on the market that seats 4 people in comfort does this - nothing comes remotely close.
***** Mazda 3 2005, but close enough. I'd rather drive my decent car than an indecent looking atrocity like the FF Ferrari. It's almost like saying Ferrari with a stutter. HAHAHAHA
netweed09 U forgot that with some paint (make up) on em they would look like miss India 2000. And with that said its more then what we can say about miss England... No paint helped this far...
It's kinda important to note that AWD shuts down completely above 4th gear, so if you're in snow stay below 5th... Great car but £275k is far too much even for a Ferrari. Well done Matthew :-)
I personally think this is one of the best looking cars I've ever seen. I agree, it doesn't really look like a super car. But I kind of like that for this car. I know it might seem blasphemous because this is a Ferrari), but I think that's one of the prettiest shapes I've ever seen! Even though it's a Ferrari, aesthetics are still subjective:)
They're all technically coupes... But the issue is, is that they don't make them in the traditional 3-box format anymore... And that is what's sorely missing from the Ferrari lineup.
Best review of the FF ever. Keep the good work, Matt. Next time please take another very practical italian beauty, the Maserati Quattroporte. And, by the way... what happened with the twins!!!????
Because your friend who wanted to show up all his colleagues who drive 7-series or S-class or A8 bought a Bentley, and you don't want to do the same. The rich are not like us. (Or are they? I think buyers in all car classes look for something different - different from what they had last, different from their friends or rivals, different from what they see every day.)
Oh, and of course this isn't your only car. It's probably your 4th car, the one you use when picking up a couple of friends to drive out to one of those seaside hotels you own.
Nah just a Mazda3 2005. And yes I take it somewhat personal because Ferrari, to me, has always been about style and performance. But this is performance with the style all messed up. It kinda fails like a Buggati when it comes to body work, meaning they don't look sexy
Jeric Tamayo One of the things Ferrari does best is variation of their basic themes. All their cars have in common the flare, the engine, the sound, the passion. But the execution varies remarkably from model to model. The result is that each model has its appeal to one type of customer or use. This is in contrast to other makers whose model evolution is predictable and whose differences are quantitative not qualitative. This is my opinion is a fantastic car, truly phenomenal.
Shaf Hoque well the Lambo Urus is going to be produced, so it will have style, performance and some practicality as well... and will likely outsell the Aventador and Huracan
The big sports cars brands like Ferrari and Lamborghini used to have more purist and uncompromising principles. You don't buy just a car but an identity, you'd say "I drive a Lambo" and people would instantly know that it's a 2 seats car and that you're not planning to have kids anytime soon. Since there's now more competition in this market I guess they felt the need to diversify...
Saga Gemini the need to diversify is based on revenue not strictly competition... SUV's typically have larger margins for automakers. At the end of the day it's about selling more vehicles. The Cayenne is Porsche best seller since it was released.
I think it looks just perfect, especially the paint is really gorgeous - I saw one on a bouleward here in Cracow Poland some months ago, in the middle of the night, accellerating towards me and away..... freaking amazing sound, THIS is one of the few cars I have ever heard, that sounds better then an Aston Martin DB9 - and that is a high praise to give a good sounding car indeed!
Yeah no thanks Ferrari, I wouldn't take this car if you gave it to me...wait I would so I can trade it in for a real sport car not some female shopper Ferrari.
An absolutely disgusting vehicle, especially for such a known brand. Basically the same opinion I had when Porsche made their station wagon lately, its horrible in design, besides the front, which is pure Ferrari, but the interior is so simple, even for a sports car, and red accents wont help make this a car even close to worth it, If I won this car itd be for sale immediately for any other model
FF is an intelligently built car. It may not look pretty but enjoying the experience of a ferrari with 4 people sitting is spectacular engineering. Everybody loves to head out on a weekend with friends and nobody would mind heading out in a ferrari. Good ground clearance, technology and power. A complete sports car.
i love the FF. It's practical, comfortable, sporty, fast, roomy and beautiful all at the same time. The FF isn't for people who just want to show off. it's for people like me who like to enjoy driving a supercar without attaracting any attention.
And that's why my dream car is a Ferrari FF. Here are the things I love about it ⬇️⬇️⬇️ 1. You can fit 4 people in the car! 2. It has an BIG boot for a sportscar 3. It's worth the price 4. It's great for daily driving (in my opinion) 5. It has cup holders :D
My dad ordered this Ferrari FF seeing this review yay! It's going to be a big jump up from his Porsche Cayman though! It going to look good in our driveway alright!
hello matt! i know that you guys like to review all types of cars and cars for all type of wallets so i was wondering, will you guys ever show some dodge viper action ? :P
The people who say this car is ugly are looking at it as a supercar, given its badge & price. The truth is, most people who buy this car will be very wealthy and see this car as an alternative to an SUV or station wagon. It is just a utility car to them. The money doesn't matter much. It is a stylish, understated, practical car that happens to have amazing performance and a cool badge. Perfect for what its target customers want. I'm sure they have other cars in the garage for glam & excitement.
Looking to buy ff just watching all the videos and reading coments to get to know more about this car sounds good at the moment to buy it thanks for video.
Yes you are right! Some people find that even Nissan is very expensive let alone a Ferrari, and obviously it depends on what model of Nissan. I think you understood my point though...
Cost way more than my flat. But what a car. Free servicing for upto 7 years.... Matt how fast was you driving ? I'm sure you stick to the speed limit...always...good boy.
Look at a few images of the Z3 Coupe from 10 years ago, very similar design and the front is very similar to the Toyota 86. I like the GTI and other hot hatches but when these companies try to find a balance between sports coupe and wagon, it just doesn't win. What is trunk space compared to Nissan GT-R? And really the Audi, BMW or Merc performance wagons have great performance and very usable space.
so you've done soo many great cars reviews and you made them look good... but if you're gonna do supersport cars don't forget about "IT"... the godzilla ofc :) hope you'll do it soon
I like this car because it's understated, practical, and it's a Ferrari
Elliot James 🖒
😄😄
This car is not ugly. It's one of my dream cars. It looks unique, and it's the most luxurious Ferrari I've ever been in. The V12 engine also packs quite a punch.
I also love the noise when you shift down gears and to be honest the Ferrari FF is the best sounding car.
Little Bentley Mulsanne.
V12 on daily drivers and v6 on f1 cars... someting is going wrong
@Pixel Dust v6s have any sound actually
"Even rich people like a bit of a deal" haha
what they say they are human
+Vauxhallmadness UK
Of course, rich people didn't get that way by being idiots with money. But that doesn't mean they aren't idiots in other ways though ;p
shut up u like vauxhalls u cringy moron

Couldn't agree with you more
Amazing sound and a top speed of 207mph, absolutely perfect :)
Still, I don't like shooting brake cars.

This car is perfect.
I want it.
Now.
Did u get it? If so congrats for having my second favorite ferrari
You‘ve come a long way my friend

So cheers Mat, for steping up your game and always keeping us always informed and entertained. I personally won't come across most of these cars, but now, I might as well have.

Really wasn't sure about this car when it first came out, but I love it now, shape's grown on me and that interior is delicious!!... pity it's about £200k over budget but hey, we can dream can't we! :)
I'm a huge fan of the panamera, and I like this a lot. The Panamera is a little bit more practical and cheaper but this thing is gorgeous.
You have to consider the fact that the Panamera will never be able to do what this does. Yes it's a bit more practical, and yes the suspension in the Panamera is more comfortable.
But when you hit that starter button, hit your Capristo remote, and feel the ease, lightness and directivity of this car, as you eat up the twisties along your journey, it simply does not matter. A Panamera will get you to your destination swiftly, and this will have you home an hour late because you chose the long route, and maybe.turned left a few times where you were supposed to have turned right.
Nothing on the market that seats 4 people in comfort does this - nothing comes remotely close.
Matt, you have the best job ever!
They should rename this Ferrari FF into Ferrari FU.
FU stands for Fucking Ugly
***** Mazda 3 2005, but close enough. I'd rather drive my decent car than an indecent looking atrocity like the FF Ferrari. It's almost like saying Ferrari with a stutter. HAHAHAHA
"a" Audi or "an" Audi?
Mat, ur the most fun car reviewer to watch on youtube hands down. cheers dude!
Absolutely stunning !
Ive watched most of your vids and there all great .Im a kid and ill tell you, your channel is amasing!!!
Please do a review of the Ferrari GTC 4 Lusso!
Check shmee150 out he has a good review
Brilliant all rounder - would definitely tick all the boxes for me. I've seen one recently but didn't think it would be so capable
No tip for the concierge?
This is England mate. No tips here.
***** And further, since this is indeed England, the "twin" ladies in the beginning are, of course, terribly bad looking!
9rmetal not really our culture
bbkingzor Really,, go try out some of the girls in the Indian back slums then, just to gain a sense of perspective =]
netweed09 U forgot that with some paint (make up) on em they would look like miss India 2000. And with that said its more then what we can say about miss England... No paint helped this far...
It's kinda important to note that AWD shuts down completely above 4th gear, so if you're in snow stay below 5th... Great car but £275k is far too much even for a Ferrari. Well done Matthew :-)
I can't help it, but this car remind me so much of the Honda Accord Aero Deck from the 80s :')
Mat!, you're back! RUclips has missed you. You know, EVO is down a Harris, and up a Tiff, but I think there should still be some room for you.
this guy makes me laugh always,,he is cool :D
hes even cooler now
I personally think this is one of the best looking cars I've ever seen. I agree, it doesn't really look like a super car. But I kind of like that for this car. I know it might seem blasphemous because this is a Ferrari), but I think that's one of the prettiest shapes I've ever seen! Even though it's a Ferrari, aesthetics are still subjective:)
if ever they could ever plz make this Ferrari ff like a sedan shape like a bmw or an S class I would buy it tomorrow I don't know why they do this
They refuse to produce a 4 door ferrari.
Then why not a coupe???
They're all technically coupes...
But the issue is, is that they don't make them in the traditional 3-box format anymore... And that is what's sorely missing from the Ferrari lineup.
Best review of the FF ever. Keep the good work, Matt. Next time please take another very practical italian beauty, the Maserati Quattroporte.
And, by the way... what happened with the twins!!!????
Why in the world woul you buy a "practical" ferarri?!
maybe to ride with your wife & kids or 2 extra friends,,,,and scare the shit out of them with that 6.3 V12 :D
raed666n good point
Bertus Nel hahaha yeah :D
Because your friend who wanted to show up all his colleagues who drive 7-series or S-class or A8 bought a Bentley, and you don't want to do the same. The rich are not like us. (Or are they? I think buyers in all car classes look for something different - different from what they had last, different from their friends or rivals, different from what they see every day.)
Oh, and of course this isn't your only car. It's probably your 4th car, the one you use when picking up a couple of friends to drive out to one of those seaside hotels you own.
Wonderful, funny, honest! What can I say Mat.. Fantastic! One of the COOLEST reviews EVA!!
Oh yeah, and the back of this car reminds me of E.T's head... from the E.T movie
you are taking this very personally sounds like.
what do you drive, a Ford Pinto?
Nah just a Mazda3 2005. And yes I take it somewhat personal because Ferrari, to me, has always been about style and performance. But this is performance with the style all messed up. It kinda fails like a Buggati when it comes to body work, meaning they don't look sexy

joe fox I like the way you articulated your opinion and respect that. I wish more people to be like you on youtube =)
drhotwax1 Sure wtv
This car is perfect looking, I don't care what anybody has to say.
Such an underrated car
the ferrari is amazing as ever :D
so is mat :D
love ur reviews man :D :D
A four seats Ferrari to go to the mall?? :D
How about a Lamborghini hatchback for visiting grandma while we're at it...
What a joke.
that's why Lambo will be selling their SUV shortly... not a joke at all
Wali Muhammad Thats stupid. Lamborghini is about Style and Performance. Not practicality!
Shaf Hoque well the Lambo Urus is going to be produced, so it will have style, performance and some practicality as well... and will likely outsell the Aventador and Huracan

Woah! and I thought its AutoExpress that conducts these kinds of reviews! Amazing review indeed!
There's one box it doesnt tick. Being pretty. Hey ooooh!
It's prettier than a Porsche Panamera
'It's prettier than a Porsche Panamera' is under no circumstances a valid argument.
I think it looks just perfect, especially the paint is really gorgeous - I saw one on a bouleward here in Cracow Poland some months ago, in the middle of the night, accellerating towards me and away..... freaking amazing sound, THIS is one of the few cars I have ever heard, that sounds better then an Aston Martin DB9 - and that is a high praise to give a good sounding car indeed!
Anyone else here after mat went to car wow
I bought this car last year and it is brilliant very comfortable and it runs smoothly
Did you just carry a 2 dollars rubbish wooden plate in a Ferrari? Jokes aside, great reviews as always.
CONGRATULATIONS CARBUYER ON YOUR TWO YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!!!!!!!!!!!! I THINK MATT WOULD NOTICE THIS IF IT HAD 1000 LIKES!LET'S DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
this car actually gets better looking the longer you look at it. well imo anyway
The exterior kinda looks like the old Z3 coupe. I really like how the " engine start " button is on the wheel.
Made in Italy
Reliability issues
deathbastardable hater/jealous?
Raviero Martino Neither. I love most Italian cars, even though they break down as soon as you look at them.
deathbastardable Stupidity/Wanna Be?
deathbastardable that's why Ferrari has a 7 year free maintenance program
And what about the new one? time for an update ;)
i saw it in white in real life. GOD its ugly!!!!
I saw a grey one once, not very pretty!
Love these reviews :) Best around, enjoying from start to the end :))))
Yeah no thanks Ferrari, I wouldn't take this car if you gave it to me...wait I would so I can trade it in for a real sport car not some female shopper Ferrari.
because ferrari ff owners can get a girlfriend and thus need the extra space. You on the other hand. . .
one of the best car reviews ever!
The ugliest car I've ever loved
Excellent review on an excellent car, I am taking delivery of mine in a couple of days
That has to be the ugliest Ferrari ever made. Ferrari's are not for practicality. For style and performance.
winchuni22 idk man i love how ff looks
Happy Birthday.....carbyer....=)
An absolutely disgusting vehicle, especially for such a known brand. Basically the same opinion I had when Porsche made their station wagon lately, its horrible in design, besides the front, which is pure Ferrari, but the interior is so simple, even for a sports car, and red accents wont help make this a car even close to worth it, If I won this car itd be for sale immediately for any other model
Are you fucking serious? You think the California is better looking than this ?
Basically any other model is better than this one
Eric Kristiansen Each to their own, I think the california is ugly AF compared to this..
Man love your videos, love your videos
You should have your own TV Show
oh god its so ugly
how is your hyundai doing?
and here come the replies from some Middle Eastern guys..... oh wait, sorry too late!
yea i know those twins are ugly as fork
Ugly? Well it would look pretty sweet in my driveway.
***** Yep thats your opinion and i have mine. Im sorry for all butthurted people out there.
Nice goal for 2023 ..
and the ugliest Ferrari ever
but the most practical
No the ugliest is the old California T
Kiharu 123 so just the california? Agree
Kiharu 123. new California T or the old california
rana ehtisham how's your shitty civic going?
FF is an intelligently built car. It may not look pretty but enjoying the experience of a ferrari with 4 people sitting is spectacular engineering. Everybody loves to head out on a weekend with friends and nobody would mind heading out in a ferrari. Good ground clearance, technology and power. A complete sports car.
It's more awesome to have him review these cars on here instead on Autoexpress, because HALF (or more) of the show belongs to him!
i love the FF. It's practical, comfortable, sporty, fast, roomy and beautiful all at the same time. The FF isn't for people who just want to show off. it's for people like me who like to enjoy driving a supercar without attaracting any attention.
Splendid Review mate ;)
This is very similar to top gear now, except is more focused in town, good review, and matt fell in love =D
And that's why my dream car is a Ferrari FF. Here are the things I love about it ⬇️⬇️⬇️
1. You can fit 4 people in the car!
2. It has an BIG boot for a sportscar
3. It's worth the price
4. It's great for daily driving
(in my opinion)
5. It has cup holders :D
My dad ordered this Ferrari FF seeing this review yay! It's going to be a big jump up from his Porsche Cayman though! It going to look good in our driveway alright!
you guys are the best reviewers
Awesome video mate!
what about fitting on the back seats? probably got too excited and forgot)
hello matt! i know that you guys like to review all types of cars and cars for all type of wallets so i was wondering, will you guys ever show some dodge viper action ? :P
The people who say this car is ugly are looking at it as a supercar, given its badge & price. The truth is, most people who buy this car will be very wealthy and see this car as an alternative to an SUV or station wagon. It is just a utility car to them. The money doesn't matter much. It is a stylish, understated, practical car that happens to have amazing performance and a cool badge. Perfect for what its target customers want. I'm sure they have other cars in the garage for glam & excitement.
Looking to buy ff just watching all the videos and reading coments to get to know more about this car sounds good at the moment to buy it thanks for video.
Great review, thinking of buying my son something practical all year round.
Car looks brilliant. I want one. Good review as per usual. Funny too.
Great for driving to the Alps in for skiing. If you're loaded.
So did you guys fight over the keys for this one? :D Great review!
i knew you guys filmed near where i live haha! from aylesbury to wycombe
They should really see what TG did. They completely disproved that the FF can drive on snow.
One of my favs! Watch it all the time.
Have you seen how it goes and sounds?its phenomenal
Yes you are right! Some people find that even Nissan is very expensive let alone a Ferrari, and obviously it depends on what model of Nissan. I think you understood my point though...
I love this ff that I want one!!!!!!😅😅😅
The sound of that car was pretty amazing !
i really like this guy's reviews
I didn't know about the 7 year warranty. Is that on all new ferraris?
I get my new polo next week! I know that it's not a ferrari, but I'm very excited as well :)
A remote control for when the controls are an arduous arms length away????
Cost way more than my flat. But what a car. Free servicing for upto 7 years.... Matt how fast was you driving ? I'm sure you stick to the speed limit...always...good boy.
Anyone noticed at 1:21, when car went over speed bump front axle bounced too many times? What was that? Seemed like it had no dampers.
My dream car...I flipping love the Ferrari FF.
very nice video
pls load videos for Maserati Ghibli and Quattroporte
wow what a ride and AWD even
plus did you see the room in back?
that would keep the kids intact.
Look at a few images of the Z3 Coupe from 10 years ago, very similar design and the front is very similar to the Toyota 86. I like the GTI and other hot hatches but when these companies try to find a balance between sports coupe and wagon, it just doesn't win. What is trunk space compared to Nissan GT-R? And really the Audi, BMW or Merc performance wagons have great performance and very usable space.
so you've done soo many great cars reviews and you made them look good... but if you're gonna do supersport cars don't forget about "IT"... the godzilla ofc :) hope you'll do it soon
yo i think ma boi matt is onto something with these twins in the back ;)
great review man
