    Well done Ben, very informative and entertaining video 👍 It was lovely to meet you both. Very cool to see the process of how you make these videos, definitely a lot more work goes into it than I had previously thought. I think with your positive attitude and work ethic, along with your unique twist on the traditional car review, the #Dadcars channel is destined for great things and in turn, a shiny Ferrari FF on the driveway!
    Some eagle-eyed viewers may have noticed some modifications to this FF. They are:
    Lowered 15-20mm all round on the stock, adjustable coilovers
    15mm Hill Engineering wheel spacers and extended bolts
    Novitech valved exhaust back boxes
    Capristo X-Pipe
    Forza valve controller
    Pioneer SPH-EVO64DAB Headunit with wireless Carplay / Android Auto

      @@dadcars Sounds like a good idea. Certainly when choosing between this and Lusso, sometimes the interior tech comes into play. With the FF you can change the headunit to something up to date, whereas the Lusso's tech cannot be. Just one of many considerations for any would be buyers. There are no wrong choices here, just personal preference / taste / budget

    They say that Ferrari sells you an engine, the car comes with it for free. The lack of 2nd hand prices is kind of shame, but great for anyone who wants a great V12 and a semi-practical vehicle. In terms of speed, it'll be slower than an M5, more difficult to drive than an M5, be less reliable than an M5, drink more fuel than an M5, be less practical than an M5, but it'll give you smiles more than any M5 could.

    Had one for 4 years. Loved it. Novitec back boxes, Capristo remote valved X-pipe and it's complete. Loved every minute, now seeking a V12 Lusso. A couple of things....they are very sensitive to battery voltage so if the warnings come on for 4wd etc, just switch it off and restart. The trickle charger socket was updated in 2013 and then the Lusso has it on the outside, above the number plate and you can retrofit either connection. The PTU issue is well tracked on FerrariChat and seems to affect around 10% of cars, so too many but not as many as the reputation suggests. It's a bit like the Porsche 997 liner issue, too many but then you only hear about the problem cars. I did about 15k miles in 4 years, Le Mans, around Europe, North Coast 500 etc. Epic miles, every one of them. From late 2013, there were some updates and the trickle charger location is one of the clues. Like all low production cars, they get better through their life cycle so buy the latest one you can. Very late cars got Car Play but you can retrofit that headunit or change to an aftermarket one, like the owner of the test car has done. I was lucky enough to be inside the 7 year service pack but expenses on top in my ownership where a set fo Michelin PS4S, PPF on the front, an odd issue with the fuel filler neck that wasn;t under warranty for some mad reason (cost £700 to sort) and I optionally had it rustproofed and spent £5k on exhaust mods. The only thing it doesn't tell you on the computer is the MPG, and it isn't because they forgot to add that function! I can tell you on a leg of the North Coast 500 with a friend in a Pista, we filled up together and my car had used about 25% more fuel. But who cares!

    Dear Ben, great presentation of the Ferrari FF! I can confirm everything you say about it. I tested the F12 and the FF - and the FF won my heart. For me the FF is one of the greatest cars ever made. The combination of talents is just unbeatable. I am obsessed with it - I have two of those now in different colours. One can only understand and appreciate this car after having driven and tested it. I hope you find a nice example for yourself and your cute little family soon - and go for that road trip around europe!

      Cobra - God willing joining the club soon.
      I remember the very moment of release and the first studio photos of the Bianco. Do believe the FF and Lusso are the best road-going cars to date: unfortunately a bit too deep and an appreciation for mass market adoption to continue the product line-up. In an ideal but unlikely world, an evolution would complement the Purosangue product series. One of the few cars one would think of acquiring multiples of. In a decade or two, should no replacement come to market, most of these will be running in the hand of a sub-community of enthusiasts. (Sort of like the 456’s with those with the mechanical know how to keep that sensitive beast running).
      Either way, rumors indicate we may have a future manual Roma ‘M’ to look forward to instead.
      Mr. Ben - Fantastic channel and ownership review and community around the channel. A blessing I found this. Looking forward to the rest!
      Enjoy the FFs ffs!

    Great video and well timed for me. I sold my E63s after 4 years and 70k miles last year and the only car I keep considering is an FF, and I’m now in a position to take the plunge. As a single dad to a toddler myself, this video was
    Way more informative to me than anything else out there especially with how much room is shown when a large isofix seat is fitted. The owners car is spec heaven by the way and the subtle mods just make it perfect (owner if you ever consider selling please let me know). The issue with the FF is the ‘pool’ of cars is tiny as owners tend to hang onto them for good reason coupled with small production numbers (circa 300 in the UK).
    And off subject slightly, but you strike me as a genuinely nice guy - you’re very respectful of other peoples cars you test and we can sense the genuine enthusiasm and excitement on each car you drive, but of all else - you strike me as an absolutely top dad. You remind me of me - My daughter is my life and she follows me everywhere. The fact your daughter joins you on these videos is something you’ll both cherish forever, its very heart warming to watch you both enjoy a car together.

    Knew it had to be the FF from the Instragram post you made.
    The four-seat Ferrari's have always been the odd-ducks that make the best 2nd-hand-purchase; the 456, the 612 and the FF all got poo-pooed and are now the best choice to buy. I saw a headline somewhere not so long ago calling the 612 the best value Ferrari you can buy (possibly a little click-bait-y but it's long way from the comments about it when new).
    As for the looks, I thought it looked gorgeous at launch, and owning the "fastest hatchback in the world" sounds bloody cool to me!

    Great review! You've earned yourself a new subscriber. 🙂
    Not sure if you are willing to consider older dadcars, but if you are, check out the Ferrari Mondial, especially the 3.2, 3.4, and T variety. These have better corrosion protection than the original Mondial 8.
    Enzo-era design, and Pinifarina styling. Mid-engine, Ferrari V8 with a gated 5-speed (and a true manual gearbox, not the modern "manual" with flappy plastic bits). Best of all for a dad car... 4 seats. Car seats would fit easily in the cabrio models, but I'm not sure about the coupe.
    Enjoy your family time. They grow up so fast!

I could fit a 4 across in the back of the Taycan and use it with all the family, plus it’s cheap to run, I stand by what I said about your car being the ultimate… the sound of this engine though is just something else 🤯 simply must be experienced if you can.

    As always, I'm extremely jealous of you jumping in all these gorgeous cars. However, my circumstances dictate a much more humble alternative.

Pretty rare in the UK as well, because only 4,300 of these were sold in the UK over 6 years. The car in question? A Honda CRZ.

    I own an FF and run it as a daily driver. I average around 200 miles a week and that's usually a tank per week of just running around which is circa 12mpg. On a run (I regularly do Kent to Norfolk and back) I'll get 320-350 miles on a tank. That's more like 18-20 mpg. If I'm not using it for a few days I hook it up to a Ctek charger and it remains happy. If I forget for any reason it does like to throw an electrical tantrum which sorts itself out the moment the battery is back up to full charge. Just consider the battery a consumable and put a new one in every couple of years.
