Trying to use a touch screen, while driving a car this quick, is incredibly dangerous. In fact, I'm surprised these systems are even legal, when texting and driving is illegal in many countries. It's basically the same thing. Even Ferrari have fallen victim to the classic Tesla trap of having every single function of the car controlled via a touch screen. It needs to stop. What was wrong with being able to turn off the A/C or adjust the temperature without having to take your eyes off the road? Fantastic looking car, but the tech killed it for me.
Finally someone who agrees. I absolutely hate the iPads in Teslas, but even Mercedes & Audi are advocating this ridiculous idea of integrating every single function into the touchscreen.
Thats where lower-end brands get it right, especially the Koreans and the Japanese. I’m sure as much we cry for manufacturers to put buttons in cars, too many buttons is overkill, looks nasty at that point. The Asian brands nail that balance of clean and functional design. To be fair, for me, touchscreens aren’t much of a problem if you have a good voice assistant, which is where the touchscreen-loving Germans claw back some praise. They’re such intuitive systems to use, that’s where the asians need to catch up.
@@Tonyx.yt.thats just a lame excuse. for 170k performance is ur top most priority but that does not mean other things are completely ignored.

7:28 You get two key fobs with metal covers: one with the yellow Ferrari badge and a silver one with the cavallino rampante. The black plastic cover (seen in the video) is also included and can be optionally fitted to either of the keys instead of the metal key cover.
As stunning the Roma is, the F12 Berlinetta is still my favourite Ferrari of all time. I just love how scary the F12 is, getting a ride in one is an experience you never forget. Oh, and that V12 scream
Enzo was also a huge elitist douchebag. So much so that it drove a former client to create his own car brand. He also looked down on Ford and we all know what happened.
Would be cool to see the new GT63S E Performance. We've seen the M8 and regular GT63s a million times, and though the Jag is cool, it really doesn't belong with those others. Otherwise I agree.

@Can do Life The 911 isn't special or unique enough. 9 out of 10 people don't even know what the difference is between a 20 year old 911 and a brand new Turbo S. It's just so sensible and uninteresting. Roma or Mclaren 720S all day long if that's the choice
The key is incomplete, you get a part of the key (which is the ferrari emblem) in a gift later. Not sure why they do it like that. But when the key is complete its beautiful.
The car looks absolutely stunning to die for last car you need to own! That said, 0-60 times should no longer be posted for cars from Aston or Ferrari mostly because every day EVs like the Volvo C40 easily hit 0-60 in under 4.7 seconds without much drama (or special launch mode, just press the pedal and go). I just enjoy staring at this car, parked.
And the fact its pretty dangerous to launch ferraris in their sportest settings. Unless you're on a track with a helmet and harness, literally no point
That’s the problem with small car manufacturers now. Their infotainment system will never be as good as the giants (Daimler, VW, BMW) because they don’t have the money for the development. It’s a shame how Toyota obviously have the money yet their infotainment is still impossible to use. (Yes I’m talking about Lexus)
Drove this earlier this year and was amazed with the comfort of this. Ferrari has made some huge improvements in the latest generations when it comes to quality and usability, both in the F8 and the Roma. Then you just flip the manettino and the Roma becomes a backroad hero while the F8 becomes a soft and very easy (to control) racecar.
Spoken truly like someone who HASN'T driven either. I drove the F8 and it drives like shit because it is so fast. You're going 88 in second gear at 3k rpm
How does it drive like shit?? In sportmode its easy to controll, i think the power in todays cars is very controlable, no spikey turbo or anything. I have a video of it on my instagram
@@askanracing Yes, very controllable, but too much of it. It's so pointless. It's so powerful, its not fun to drive anymore. Imagine if I *paid* 300k for a Ferrari. Always too afraid I'll wreck it. I'd rather get a lower powered car and get to enjoy it. What is with everyone wanting to go over 800hp?
The Aston that the Roma most looks like is the DB10 which was made for the James Bond film Spector. There were only 10 of those made. It's a good looking car and I, for one, like being reminded of it.

The Roma is not such a bad Ferrari, considering it`s supposed to be the enty level car from them, they did quite a good job with it. They made it almost an all purpose sports car.
First thought I had when seeing this car was "Wow, Bond villian car". This in black and an Aston in silver racing at night through rome, the whole scenery just came together. Stunning looks but I'm not a big fan of the rear lights, I always loved the circular design. Great review as always.
Love the Roma… really do. However I’m in love with the mid-engine design silhouette which front/mid front engine designs can’t achieve. Having owned the 2021 Aston Martin Vantage and Ferrari F430… I definitely prefer the mid-engine configuration of the F430. But the price at $250-300K is really hard to beat.
Always so exciting to see reviews on new really good looking Ferraris, only to learn about how bad their building quality is haha. Was this car as well built as it was designed, it‘d actually be worth the 170k+ pounds
