Am I CRAZY To DAILY DRIVE My Ferrari SF90 Stradale?

I'm daily driving my Ferrari SF90 Stradale, but is that a good idea?! It might sounds crazy but with over 4,000 miles in, let me tell you about the good and the bad, why I'm enjoying it so much and what problems I've had so far. Plus, there are some amazing cars to spot in London!

I picked up my SF90 in Italy and immediately embarked on a big tour with it all around Europe. However, in more recent times I've found myself literally driving it non-stop for daily driving and commuting purposes, and I absolutely love it. Ferrari created a supercar that's wonderful to drive on the road, boasts a tonne of different driving modes and settings to learn and become familiar with, and by having a range in eDrive it creates a great car to use for the city too.

After an update on the recent miles, including the previous tank clocking in at 26.5mpg, it's out to the countryside and then into London to car spot from a Ferrari! With a Bugatti Chiron stealing the show, there are endless luxury cars to see around the hot spots of the city. Where the SF90 Stradale is so fascinating is the clue from the name, "Stradale" meaning Road from Italian, and very much being a car engineered to be a great road car while happening to have 1,000hp too.

The crazy element of all of this... driving so many miles in a Ferrari is never quite so good for value, and arguably it takes away from some of the special-ness of the car being so familiar with it, but to be honest the smiles this brings outweigh any of that!

Thanks for watching, Tim

[IvanCherganski]

Every now and again an old school car spotting video is really appreciated in between the rest of the awesomeness! Thanks for the content, Tim

[divyanshusrivastav]

You are the most genuine petrolhead who is able to afford them and drive them as smiles per miles. There is nothing wrong in it.

[VordLoldemort]

Really love how Tim is still stuck to his roots of car spotting. Imagine owning hypercars yourself and still drooling over the others! That's real class!! 😎

[michaelgakanga]

I'm genuinely glad you've come to the realization that driving these cars frequently is the key to understanding why manufacturers make them this way. I usually get frustrated when journalists sway people the wrong way after only experiencing a car for a few hours or days at most. Also that some owners jump into conclusions after driving a thousand miles

It’s when you come back to Tim’s videos you realise what a genuine petrolhead he is. With Tim you get a full run down on what the car is like to drive and live with, and a encyclopaedic knowledge of every car he passes - so different to a certain other blonde car YouTuber who I shan’t name who pretty much only talks about the shape of the key fob. Thanks Tim.

Dude started with a Clio and now Daily Drives a half a million dollar Ferrari!
Mad respect Tim 🙌

[kaigordon]

As if I didn't like it already, your sf90 is growing on me even more, the colour certainly to thank for that, lovely spec!

[albs]

That feeling of switching around in modes I definitely understand and feel ! I have a Cupra Leon eHybrid and I switch around so much between different driving settings and e-mode / hybrid !
It’s such a joy to go into a town quietly and smooth on electric and leaving and going on a small twisty round in full attack mode and have fun !

[saradrugi]

Tim's is probably the best spec SF90 I've seen. Others have the colours & hood design etc that make them look more "race car" but that blue with silver wheels make it look elegant & suit the laid back style. Who would have thought any car with 1000hp could be "laid back" ?! But thats what it is...until it isnt !

[neilstothard]

Love that fact that even though now you own the types of cars that you started your channel spotting you still get the enjoyment of going out looking for what is about on a given day.

[philg]

Insane number of supercars - fantastic to look at, Tim, and great to see you have retained your schoolboy enthusiasm for them despite owning a good number yourself. I still have no idea how you can possibly know all of the models and their variants and so quickly. Sidebar: Amusing to see just how low down you sit in the SF90 compared to almost every other vehicle on the road, which for me, would be a little daunting. Another fab video.

[MarcSob]

A friend from Monaco has been using a TDF as a daily since 2018, so using an SF90 doesn't make you crazy! Incredible machine! Great content!

[svgaming]

Always love when you go traditional car spotting, would love to see you do it more often. Cheers!!

[IDvI]

Your car knowledge is next level bud. Thanks for the drive today.

[marcvanderbent]

Love to see you back at your roots once again, and yes you have put in a lot of work to get to this point with your channel.

[ibeentossinaunties]

I LOVE HOW MUCH YOU DRIVE YOUR CARS MAN ITS REAL LOVE every car enthusiast knows and its totally worth every dollar with every thousand miles you make, thank you 😌😌

[ryanhoffmann]

"Nice to be those guys" Shmee, you are THAT guy!

[nanolog]

Germany has significantly lower gas prices now. You get E5 for 1, 80€ per litre and E10 for 1, 70€ (that´s 1, 44-1, 54 pound). And the prices you mentioned, around 2, 54€ per litre, we only had for a couple of days along the motorways.

[floridamankyle]

Your videos have changed my mind on these SF90s, I first thought it was overly complicated and the sound was muffled, but the capability of this hybrid setup is truly UNREAL! You are right about the Jekyll and Hyde nature of this car, I only wish this hybrid setup was put in a GTC4 Lusso style body, for more versatility.

[williamrogercummings]

This thirty minute example shows the supercar experience in a very mellow and throughly enjoyable way. Enjoyable, thank you, Tim.
