Should The Brand New Roma Be Your First Ferrari? My Honest Answer & Review

I love the Ferrari Portofino. It's a flawed car, but a lot of fun. When Ferrari announced they were creating a new V8 front engined coupe, it seemed an awful lot like a Portofino with permanent roof - with the model lineup already getting busy, how can the Roma justify its place in the current range?

I've recently bought my first Ferrari, but this is a car that the company believe should fit that role nicely - so does it?

Sorry, James, but the rear end of this car looks lovely to me...stunning in fact...

[AntoniusTyas]

Holy shit, James is actually invited by Ferrari to drive their newest car in Italy. Oh how far things have developed...

[GetOffMyyLawn]

It's the first Ferrari in years that has timeless classic written all over it.

[jpelfc]

Dont normally comment but this is a great open and honest review. Keep growing sir. Congrats on what is a triumph of a video

[ConquerDriving]

The silver/grey Roma you drove is the colour I'd have. Looks stunning, so classy. Aston like levels of class.

[doodles]

That is the most beautiful car I have ever seen. Just when you thought they couldn't out do themselves, Ferrari has pulled it off again.

[FOXHOUND]

I’VE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR AGES. THIS MAN HAS THE BEST AUTOMOTIVE CHANNEL ONLINE. SUPERB WORK AGAIN. HE’S HONEST AND KNOWLEDGEABLE. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

[dwood]

This car is going to age like a fine wine. That 3.9 liter V8 sounds heavenly.

I lived in Italy for four years and the material they use to make asphalt makes it slick. I spun out in a round-about going 10km while it was raining once.

Its one of the most beautiful Ferraris i have ever seen. I love it, 10/10

I just bought mine last month it’s a very smooth ride. I also own a Portofino M. I enjoy them both but I would say the Portofino I use when it’s hot out and I switch to the Roma at night. It’s really nice to mix it up with these two I recommend them both. Great video!

[onkouth]

I think this is one of the most beautiful Ferrari’s ever made, it is contemporary but classically beautiful, I really wasn’t interested in this when it was being talked about but it really is gorgeous and plenty quick enough for anyone!

[iainmackenzie]

Getting an invite to a Ferrari launch. Well done mate. Well done indeed.

[AlmostSorted]

Wow. You’ve excelled yourself with this. You’ve put a huge amount of thought into this video and it really shows. Superb review, superb camera work. I think you’ve smashed it out of the park with this and shows just how far you’ve come. Really well done.

[lauriedooker]

In this silver it’s one of the most beautiful cars ever.

[isthereanybodyoutthere]

It is insanely gorgeous to look at and I wouldn't care if it's colour was sky blue pink.

Jay: golf gti trying to impress a ferrari driver.
Me: a polo gti passes him.

[iankirwan]

This is the first Roma review I've watched, purely because I trust you to give an honest and accurate description of what it's like to drive, which I believe you did. Thank you and as always, I look forward to more of your reviews.

[CarToneHK]

Maserati Alfieri turned into a Ferrari and it's still pretty

[icedreamer]

Great review, and IMO best car Ferrari have made in... decades. I'm not sure about comparisons to the Vantage though. To me, journalists keep making that same error. Comparing this to the Vantage, and in the old days, comparing the old Jaguar XK to the vantage. I think it's thanks to price. Trouble is, the Vantage is flat out a sports car, to be compared with the F-Type. The Roma, and the XK of yesteryear, the _proper_ comparison and true rival are the DB11 and DB9.

This thing is a _proper_ GT, and I think that's amazing.
