Here's Why The Ferrari FF Is The Ultimate £100,000 Used Car - And You Need To Buy One NOW

  • In today's video I am looking at what I believe could be the finest car you can buy for £100,000. Costing £250,000+ when new, and fitted with a Ferrari V12 mated to a complex but clever AWD system, is the FF really a car you can use all year round and should you consider one over a new RS6?

    My FF is the car I most regret parting with. I did 20,000 very happy miles in it, including the Ferrari 70th anniversary rally. Crossing the Alps in that with 500 other Ferraris and the rozzers looking the other way courtesy of Ferrari was one of the best motoring experiences ever.

      I didn't go much on my FF when I still owned one. Sure, it was practical'ish, reasonably quick and had a nice note, but it just didn't make me feel anything.
      My Bugatti Veyron, on the other hand? Well. Impractical? Yes. Guzzles fuel? Absolutely. Better than both Ferraris, a Lamborghini and McLaren that I've owned previously? By a country mile. This car, the Veyron, is just absolutely mind blowing.

    Just took delivery of my FF to replace my f355 spider after 20 years ownership.. First trip was into wales. They are obviously totally different cars and initially I felt I was missing the raw Ferrari experience of the manual 355 and I felt a little sad, but I then set the FF into sport mode!!!! And bang The Ferrari beast came alive...totally unbelievable!!! I had to laugh out load and I could not stop smiling and I fell more in love with it as the miles clicked by. This is a true mega Ferrari that is full of Italian passion and the best thing is I can share it with my family and friends.. It is also so classy and cool, plus such a smooth GT cruiser when you want it to be.. It has to be Ferrari's best kept secret..

Still has a V12 up front, adequate (4.8 0-60, 193 top speed) performance if you want to keep your licence....The newer Ferraris just don't do it for me, stupendous performance : yes, silly prices: yes. Good looks: er, maybe...458 still very pretty but still TOO much money! Flogged the 355 after 10 years and much fun. Absolutely didn't buy it as an investment but paid £35K, sold for £75K...minus the odd bit of maintenance....haha, ask any 355 owner about that! Now that I'm an old fart I thought a front-engined 4-seater V12 would satisfy the craving without upsetting the wife.

    So glad you drove one at last, you can still have a shot of mine if you're up in Scotland any time. I've had many cars, including about 15 Porsches (inc stuff like 993 turbo), several Maserati, M cars and the FF is the best of them all. Thanks for the honest and enthusiastic review, I think it's one of the best modern cars produced and at last becoming more appreciated. Oh, and the stereo does do bluetooth streaming, just cycle the radio/media button on the left and select the phone, assuning it's bluetooth paired and off you go. And if you stick a usb straight into the headunit, it does it as well with track name etc coming up.

    Ken Lingelfelter has arguably one of the greatest car collections in the world and owns most of the god tier Ferraris and when I talked to him and asked him what his favorite car was he said his FF. At the time it was his daily driver and may still be.

    This review further encourages me to recommend Jay Emm for the award as the best car reviewer on RUclips - if not anywhere.
    I couldn’t agree more with his views on the FF - I test drove one up for private sale 2 years ago and still haven’t been able to fully reconcile the number of dimensions of ecstasy that V12 offered.
    My life - as the saying goes - has never been the same since..
    Jay Emm tells it like it is - has his own carefully elucidated opinions and as he isn’t selling anything or beholden to any manufacturers his channel is essentially one of the only places you can find a real opinion.
    Well done Jay Emm - you’re our hero!!

    Geez Jay! I don't know what to say!? That was a brilliant review and sums up exactly how I feel about my ownership, although I'm only a few months in now. When people ask me what i think about mine i think I will just point them to this video as you articulated my thoughts perfectly. When asked what I will replace it with one day I have absolutely no idea. The Lusso is, like you say, a better daily but no necessarily a better drivers car, in fact I think its too sanitised. (by comparison of course) For me, a couple of things niggle me which i am working my way through; first is those amber side repeaters, I changed mine for clear. Second is the ride height, like most Ferrari's the gap in the wheel arches is just too much. As you said, you didn't need to use the lift and that tells you everything you need to know about how high it sits. I have 2 axle lift so I will be lowering mine. Third is the noise. If I could drive around with the rear hatch open all day I would! The sound coming out the back is glorious but not enough of it gets in the cabin, So I'm hoping a Novitec fixes that. Other than that i feel its the perfect car and one I can share (as I do) with my family. I can take the kids to car meets, do the school run and euro jaunts (when we're allowed - cant wait!)
    Keep up the good work!

  • @jeremyhicks964
    @jeremyhicks964 3 года назад +1

    I love these and would buy one but the thing that puts me off is that front gearbox, or PTU as Ferrari calls it. Firstly, if it goes wrong (and they do) you just don't want to know the number Ferrari charges to replace it. Secondly if you need to get at the front of the engine to replace, for example a seal or something, it all has to come off. That is also a lot of hours and therefore a lot of money. The reason these cars are cheap is not because they have 4 seats (that's a forum myth that has gone on for years) its because once out of warranty any failure of the highly complex and unique drive train technology this car has will practically write it off financially. Now if someone could do a 2WD conversion.......

    Great review Jay. Without having driven either it sounds like the GTC4Lusso is to the FF what the 2017 GTR was to earlier models - easier to live with every day but less a drivers car. Oh and for what it's worth the RS6 is not only 200kg heavier but carries 300kg extra mass on the front axle vs the FF due to terrible weight distribution. FF is a dream car of mine, can you tell!

    I don't have £100,000 to spend on a car and if I did it would probably go towards a house instead. I also don't believe in finance packages and would rather own a used car outright. You do realise that rapid inflation is coming and that means interest rates will have to be raised soon which will make car payments hard to repay. The Storm is coming...

    • @freddiejones4598
      @freddiejones4598 3 года назад +1

      Depends what the finance package is. From new often the finance package is much better than buying outright. I’ve got 140i. I put 5k down and it’s £410 a month. That means over the 3 year deal I’m out of the door for less than 20k. The car will depreciate more than that over 3 years..
