95/100
Brilliance.
This is all.
Because giving it 100/100 would have me burned at the stake. Its got a cheap American head unit, the steering wheel is gaudy, the paddles were a bit intrusive, I wish it had the F12s/458s dash cluster, people above 6 feet might dislike it, but normal adults will be fine.
Oh, and its more expensive than the Rapide which was also more expensive compared to the rest of the field.
Having said that, the rest of the field didn't have V12s and compared to the Aston, this is a rampant and mad Ferrari that unlike the Aston can actually backup its drop dead gorgeous design with punishing performance that will make track rats look amazed and question their beliefs when they get spanked by a 2 ton wagon.

This'll be as open a review as possible cause I suck at structured things, what would you like to know about it specifically?

Really anything you would care to divulge.
A few specifics that i would like to hear about though is: What the general public thought of the car and how well it drove

I think we all loved seeing it and for the most part we had no bad things to say about the design. I think the real point of amazement, even amongst the Ferrari guys, was that this car was even made. Its a 3 door wagon with a fancy AWD system and a healthy dose of tech that even rivals the programming sitting in the F12. Its nice and almost emotional to see that Ferrari took a big "Hey why the hell not" with this car and that they even bothered with a 612 successor.
As far as driving goes, I'd put it at S Class levels of smooth when you're not being a goon all the way to 9/10ths F12 when you're hammering it. It is the best of both I think with few drawbacks. The ride is still more firmly sprung than most cars, but its not overbearing. The supportive seats go a long way in helping.
This, for all intents and purposes, is the new spearhead for what a supercar should be. This thing, in Edmonton no less, would have no problems bombing through the winter and still retain everything thats so great about it. Its one of the few truly daily drivable supercars in existence because I think they bothered designing the thing with that purpose in mind.
Having said that, this would still shame everyone at the track and then some; at least I think it has that capacity.

The FF floored me on seeing the first picture. The more I read about it, and the more pictures and video I found of it, the harder I fell. It replaced the Quattroporte as the one luxury performance car I would one day buy. I figured just like the Maser, it would depreciate like mad and I'd be able to pick one up for under $40k in 6 to 10 years. Then I finally looked up the price. The QP is back. If an FF came down to sub $40k, I likely would not want it.
But if I had the money, FF = DD. Thanks for sharing your impression no matter how short!

I love this car, and I love that Ferrari still from time to time produces a car for life on the roads, rather than the track, like the 612 before it.
