Is the Ferrari Roma a good car?
With its added practicality when compared to its siblings, and ease of use for daily driving and high-performance engine for track use. The Ferrari Roma strikes a perfect balance for the discerning buyer.
Who is the Ferrari Roma a good car for?
The Ferrari Roma is a good car for individuals that wants comfort and practicality for everyday use but want to turn heads with their vehicle's styling and performance.
Is the Ferrari Roma a good first car?
Although it should not be too difficult for a new driver to get used to the controls and the dynamics of the vehicle, the Ferrari Roma is not a vehicle that can be afforded by first-time car buyers. The combination of the vehicle's value and the driver's inexperience will see the insurance premiums climb significantly.
Is the Ferrari Roma a good family car?
The Ferrari Roma is classified as 2+2 coupe which means that it should accommodate four occupants. In addition to the four-seater cabin, the Roma offers 272-litres of luggage space. The model is also very well specified with standard safety equipment such as the six airbags. Thus depending on the size of your family and the typical journey, it's not entirely out of the question to consider the model a family vehicle.
Is there a Hybrid Ferrari Roma?
While Ferrari does offer hybrid models such as the SF90 Stradale, SF90 Spider and 296 GTB, the Ferrari Roma retains a 3.9-litre, twin-turbocharged, V8 petrol motor producing 456 kW and 760 Nm of torque.

What’s it like to drive?
Reviewer's opinion
It is scalloped for the passenger and scalloped for the driver. I really feel like sitting in a jet-fighter cockpit. I am surrounded by suede, raised stitching and carbon fibre, it's absolutely beautiful. Their new digital HMI, Human Machine Interface, sees a complete digital display out in front of you as well as an 8.4-inch touch system centrally.

What does it look like?

What is the Ferrari Roma like inside?
Inside the Ferrari Roma, the driver and passenger are separated into two cockpits. While the passenger optionally can benefit from a passenger display unit that allows them to view the vehicle speed, revs and selected gear as well as control navigation and media, both the driver and passenger gain access to an 8.4-inch infotainment display. The driver is further immersed with the digital instrument cluster which replaces the iconic dials as in the past. Premium materials and leather-clad surfaces feature around the cabin.
Style
While modern in its design, Ferrari took inspiration from various iconic classics of the past such as the 250 GT Lusso. The exterior sees a 60's era like body while it incorporates modern touches such as the head-, tail-lamp and grille. The inside for the most part is also very futuristic in its design, contrasting with the classic styling on the exterior, however, features classic themes such as the drive selector which resembles a gated transmission.
