Ferrari California Driving Review - Exotic Driver

A fan loans us a Ferrari California and the guys find a great mountain road to test this most popular car in the Prancing Horse line-up.

I was in one, in Italy, yesterday and it had 40, 000 miles on it! Still worked like a charm, really is a beautiful car!

The California is truly gorgeous! It took a little while for this Ferrari to grow on me but it really did. Great video guys! I have to admit you guys are my favorite youtube car reviewers. I get a little excited when I see you guys have a new video that pops up in my subscription feed, especially when its an exotic like this one. Keep it up guys!

Yes, it is not as fast as the F12, nor does it handle the exact same way as the 458, do not drive on the racetracks every day, we drive on regular streets.  I have driven the F12 and the 458 as well as many others and California is the most practical one of the all.  It handles, sounds and drives like a real Ferrari. The only time you really feel the difference is when you are on the racetrack.  In addition, one must really know how to drive these cars well enough so their opinions actually matter. For most, reviews are simply based on what they often find on Top Gear or various blogs.

Thanks for saying this, Jonas. We want people to find cars they love and enjoy driving in most every situation. Stats and specs often say very little about how a car feels to drive, and we're thrilled what we do is resonating with you. We appreciate you watching and commenting, and hope you'll share our show with others!

Im picking up my 2014 model this weekend. Very Excited!

[TheNicklangridge]

Hands down the most underrated guys on youtube. Top stuff chaps.

[sneakypete]

You guys are great and your videos are not only informative but hugely entertaining. I especially like how you both, quite often, have totally different takes on some features or performance of a car. Best example was your comparison of the BRZ vs FRS. Keep it up guys

[EverydayDriver]

We've shot a few things in Utah now (our M3 comparison, for example) and we are big fans of shooting outside the LA area when resources and cars allow. Thanks for the compliments and we'll continue working like crazy to bring you guys high quality videos.

Nice of you to visit us here in Utah! its nice to see a car review in my you tube feed that isn't filmed on the same nameless mountain road somewhere in California as every other publication on you tube. You guys create excellent content. I like that you focus on using the resources you have to create a few good pieces rather than chucking out some half baked piece. Keep up the good work.

A couple of those videos (the hairpin turns) appeared to be shots from Highway 65 which runs from I-80 just east of Salt Lake City through to Henefer and I-84. That road is a blast. Good review, guys.

[EverydayDriver]

Thank you! We know JF and the guys at Drive - They are very talented and work very hard to create the quality work they produce. We're flattered to have you place us in their category - and we look forward to having the financial backing they do! Much appreciated, and we've got lots more on the way...

Oh, and you might enjoy the Audi S5 review we did last year...

[CHARLIETWW]

This is definitely one of the best video reviews of a Ferrari or ANY exotic sports cars of all time because of the reviews' very good descriptions.

[afthefragile]

You guys are the best American car reviewers!
I agree you guys should be on the American Top Gear!

[EverydayDriver]

Thank you for saying that - we work very hard to make TV quality production for the web. And you're absolutely right about the interior shot on this (and other earlier) reviews. Not long after this video we revised our setup, and if you watch anything uploaded since our PCH comparison you'll notice better interior quality. Thank you so much for like what we do, and we hope you'll share our work with others!

[EverydayDriver]

Thanks for saying so, guys. Many people don't realize how much effort goes into making a good video review, especially since we don't have backers or staff like nearly everyone else doing high-quality work. We look forward to having more viewers and backers to allow us to release this level of work even faster. Many thanks for watching and commenting!

great review lads, ive just finished university and will be living at home for the next 4 years in order to save up for this dream car of mine. 

[DtRockstar]

Fantastic review! It's videos like this that I can watch all the way through. The presenters have a lot of personality. The camera work is done very well, it keeps the viewer's attention. Well done.

My grandfather's neighbor has one of these in Rosso Corsa and it is one sharp automobile. They are also larger in person than you see on YouTube. Definitely something I would buy as more of a daily driver than an Audi R8.

[JonasRosenven]

Thanks for your kind and resonating reply :) A big reason for my subscribtion was the fact that you keep the internet cliches to a minimum and don't deal in extremes. I think it reflects nicely in the comments section. I do enjoy reading a comment when people actually put in the effort to write WHY they prefer a car over the other instead of just - "stating the name of the car" - "agreeing/disagreeing".

unless u track your ferrari, this is the best ferrari to own!
