To me it is one if the most beautiful Ferrari's that has been made in the last decade. It is absolutely stunning.

I remember the first time I saw a picture of the Roma. Finally, I thought, after so long Ferrari have designed a beautiful car again.

I borrowed a Roma for the weekend, while I was waiting for my Tributo. The Roma was the first Ferrari I ever drove, and I thought it was a blast! Beautiful grand tourer, fast af!

For some reason I keep watching all your videos and keep smiling. I dont know if it is your voice, your story telling, or the cars, but somehow you are activating my brain in a nice and endearing way. I am like, life is great, life is fun, thing are going to work well and my imagination feels stimulating. Something that I notice is that I am missing showing the cars being driven more. Too many videos use the POV or inside the car view, but I actually want to see the car going around, I guess it is really hard to record.

The intro was really well shot, I had to watch 3 times to let it sink in.

Excellent review James, I have a Roma and managed to get over 400 miles on a tank when travelling through France, although as you say this changes when you use it to it's potential. It's much more comfortable than the 992 base that I had previously. I don't like the centre screen either but if you use apple car play and voice command to change the air con it's OK. It's my first ( and will be my only) Ferrari and I'm in love with it!!

High praise for the most beautiful Ferrari in years. Seems like the perfect one Ferrari garage. Imaging arriving at the opera in Rome. You open the door for your, Italian off course, girlfriend. While she is waiting in the lobby you go park your Roma. Walking to the opera you look back at the car and think god she is gorgeous. The car I mean. Meanwhile a Pista in the street is bouncing off the cobblestones making a lot of noise and drawing attention from influencers..... The Roma, a future classic for sure. Nice video. You fell for the Roma, it's so obvious. 😄

I will never have one, but that's a gorgeous automobile from every angle. The only Ferrari design I've adored since the 246GT of my youth.

I often wonder why people put down plastic as a automotive manufacturing material. Like it’s just some cheap substance. Plastic happens to be lightweight, strong and can be made in so many colours and shapes. I’d imagine when it was first introduced people were probably over the moon with it! Anyways, can’t type any longer, I’ve got to get back to my job at the plastic manufacturing factory.

I live in a swanky part of london and see one of these regularly in red and in the swathes of exotic cars rolling about this just looks SO suave. Very aspirational for the non adolescent minded.

When I first saw a Roma a year ago the first thing that came to mind was Ferrari released a Daytona remake. I've always loved the Daytona.

As a person who absolutely loves everything about the Roma. I was surprised when Ferrari brought it out. As Ferrari never really appealed to me. But when this came out it immediately slotted into my dream car slot. She's so beautiful.

I recently saw one of these in person parked in the wild. Im a huge car buff, and I was utterly dumbfounded when I saw this model. It has a very unique profile, it doesnt really resemble a ferrari at all. Im personally not crazy about it, but it seems like its aimed at a more refined and mature ferrari buyer. It has a really sleak and charming profile.

That was a great review J better and more informative than any other review i have watched well done

Wow, I remember watching this guy when he was getting less than 1k views per video. So happy for him

I love love love how fast you talk and your cadence. There is 5x more info in your reviews and I am hooked.

Just popping in to get this in my watch history for later viewing. Love your stuff jay emm!

You are an amazing reviewer and a natural presenter and seem to have lots of knowledge about these cars. You are very pleasant to watch and listen to and your cinematography is also on point. I would say you will be one of the most popular car reviewers in no time. Keep it up. Very entertaining indeed!

For me, I like the styling and I like the F-type, and the rear is a bit Porsche 928 too. Also, when I was a kid, my brother and I bought packs of top trumps cards. The card I coveted was the Ferrari 365/GTB 'Daytona' in blue ( Top Trumps pack 'Fast cars -old and new'). I'll have to imagine what it is like to own and experience a Roma.

Even before we get into the review, gotta say I’ve always thought it’s a very very pretty car. Also, that paint colour is lovely. Granted, I’m one of those who always say ‘if it’s not rosso corsa, is it even a Ferrari?’ but on this model, that paintwork looks superb.

An absolutely fabulous review. The intro was also spectacular sir.

Great review for part 1 James, nice to hear how the Roma goes on British roads. Thank you. After that intro I'm kinda hoping you've got Arrivederci Roma cued up for part 2 😁

Thanks J, great review, looking forward to Pt 2! 🙏🙏 Any chance of a fleet update please?

In white with those wheels this car looks amazing 🔥

I’ve got to say that nobody does a full in depth car review as well as this channel . Everything you could possibly want to know if you were a potential buyer - the attention to detail is second to none .

My favorite video you’ve done so far. Great job.

I'm a tifosi, I love Ferrari, and I know Ferrari options lists are a horrorshow, but I'm still terrified listening to the price of the options. GBP8k for painted Scuderia shield... I love the painted shield but at 8k it's terrifying. Won't stop me from buying a 296 if I had the money though. Or maybe a secondhand 430 Scuderia.

Most detailed and thoroughly fair review of the Roma so far. 👌

Excellent review! This is my favorite Ferrari from all post 2010 ferraris . Looks really agressive , wide and luxurious

Great, honest review as always. They could learn from the DB12 for the Roma's facelift; better infotainment and bring back some physical, satisfying to use buttons!...

you realy do some amazing car reviews :) this channels shoud have milions of subs

I’ll be honest I prefer the looks of the Portofino M. But the new DB12 wins my heart in this segment

Great video, Jay. Glad you did the Roma again. This car is stunning! A car I would buy for myself without compromising with my wife and family. If Ferrari wouldn't send a hitman after you, a video comparing this with the DB12 would be interesting and useful. The first time an AM is truely tempting, but the real test is if Jay doesnt get grumpy in an AM. 😅 The large gap between the door and the interior/mirror controls was probably introduced by some Swiss guy saying it would be unsafe otherwise and fingers would be trapped.

Gotta love any front engined V8 Coupe.

Another superb review James

I love the Roma styling, maybe because i'm not a Ferrari guy. I do love Grand Tourers and this ticks many boxes. Great in-depth review as always.

I have a theory about the large panel gap between door and dashboard. Having had my fingers shut in the driver's door of a T4 Caravelle I wonder if the space is there as a finger saver just in case someone shuts the door from the outside while someone in the driver's seat has their hand carelessly in the shut space. Just a thought.

Great Video! Like the Intro with the changing music very much. - The gap between the doors and dashboard saves Ferrari a lot Headaches. That is one of the hardest parts in the Interior to get perfect matched up. So many parts involved to make that perfect. Starting from the construction which holds the Dashboard, the Dashboard in several pieces itself, the door, the inner part of the door and the Door card on top of it -again made up from several trim pieces. When not matched u perfectly with no gap, it looks still not good. So a lot of manufactures skip that and make their life in terms of assembly way easier and efficient.

Looks a lot like a Jag F-type

Shades of the Ferrari 365 GTB in the Roma. I think that's what Ferrari was going for when they tagged it with "La Nuovo Dolce Vita". It's a beautiful thing. Like the 458, doesn't have the scoops and vents (mostly because of its front-engine layout), which allowed for the flowing lines and cleaner profile than the 488, 296, and even the 812.

It looks surprisingly good in that metallic white. But check out one in that electric/bright blue--amazing! also, another awesome vid, no surprise

I knew eventually, you would do a review of this car.... Have a blessed weekend

Great choice of cars and reviews recently Jay.

3 years old and still looks new and beautiful. The designers did an excellent job with this.

My Roma has Apple Car Play and Android Auto. I'm surprised the press car doesn't have Android Auto 🤔. And I've taken it to IKEA 😅

Stunning and elegant looking car with performance to back it up. Definitely gets heads turning does this.

I loved driving this car (and loving my new career as a hand-model)! Truly brilliant car in all the ways you say... Electrical faults aside. And it was in my fave spec 😁

Excellent review, as per usual, Jay. I've never owned an F-car (I own a 993, Cayman R, and Mas QP5 Sport GTS), though I follow the marque. I can say, at my age and lifestyle, this model appeals to me more than the other current F-models. I used to hanker for an FF or Lusso, but that PTU stuff turns me off even though I realize there are aftermarket fixes available. I'm happy with the analogue P-cars that I have, and still love the QP5 GTS after 5 years of ownership. All the tech is great until it fails after the warranty expires.

man 0:31 is such a money shot, those kind of feelings are what i always dream of capturing

I enjoyed every second of this review! I can’t wait to check out those rear seats for myself 🙌

Another great entertaining review. I suspect anyone who buys a Roma from new will give it back within 12-18 months....no buttons for air/temp etc and that 'invisable' touch screen when the sunshine hits it....its time to part company...which makes me think, maybe that's why those owners of brand new Ferrari's move them on so quickly....2020 Maserati Lavante V6 (Petrol)....I just love all those buttons!!!

Load exhausts, even musical ones are great for a press car, or a car for sunny Sundays short runs. But not so much if you can afford to run a car as a daily driver or for long distance. A guy I know took his Ferrari a few hundred miles to le mans with an after market exhaust. The first thing he did when he got back home was put the stock exhaust back on it.

I’d have one in Yellow. No other options. It’s value would skyrocket in 50 years!

"good news everyone!" Loved the professor Farnsworth reference!😅

My pick from the current range .. I love it !

The intro was too majestic. Dope!!!

Future classic

I think the Roma is the more Ferrariesque of the current Ferraris.

The sloping rear quarters have a touch of an E type about it. Enzo said it was the prettiest car he had ever seen. Perhaps that was an intentonal throwback? You have an enviable job, James!

Buttons! Just give me buttons. The Cayenne 958.2 is a master class of a cabin for example.

Love it. The best looking modern Ferrari, and best looking modern car. As for those not considering it typically Ferrari, I wonder whether they know anything other than Ferrari is in F1, and builds cars to show off in.

Brilliant James. Living the Roma life

incredible amount of information, so much talk about one car. Less is sometimes more. still good work.

I’ve seen a few of these around and it wasn’t until seeing it in person that I liked it. Its weirdly alluring. It’s subtle.. til you stare at it and realise it looks utterly brutal.

There are many Ferrari’s to like and a few not to but the Roma is just perfect…a really useful, pleasing to drive, practical,fast and achingly beautiful car. It is my favourite real World Ferrari….just wonderful and I know why some would buy other models but not me,,.one of those please!!😀😀😀😀😀

Great review of a beautiful car. Thank you sir.

Great Review ! Of An “interesting” Car ! Respect ! 😊

I actually test drove a Roma at Knockhill, Scorland today. My 2nd time driving one. There is much to like. Faster than you think, lots of grip, always seemed to be in the turbos so always has power on tap. I just sold an FF after 4 years and previous to that I owned a Maserati MC Stradale so the Roma, with it's obvious Maserati Alfieri concept connection, is shaping up to be a likely next car. I am concerned that they are dropping value and so I will likley wait until summer is over and see where they are. I'd rather be patient and try to stop the botton of the depreciation curve, than to lose a load quickly. The 7 year service pack and 2 year warranty offered by Ferrari also makes it worth buying from a main dealer. I don't like the haptic controls but once I had set it where I liked it, they became less imprortant. I had a good look at the white car which is currently the "cheapest in the UK" at £155k and I see why they want to shift it as the white isn't great. It makes the front grill look a bit like a cheap laundry basket where the darker colours help to hide that. I was told that they have stopped coupe production while the push the Roma Spyder and that the Portofino M has also stopped to allow the Spyder on the same production line. My main concern is that many don't "get" the Roma and so it is in danger of dropping value. This is great of you want one in 3 or 4 years from now as they may well be the bargain of the range but it makes it tough to predict when is the optimum time to buy. Add in higher interest rates and economic uncertainty and that fuels my concern. Ultimately I think I will buy one, it's when, not if.

Great video! Love the Italian shots. I'll have to look at the old review. I must say I think this car looks so much better in silver much classier and it shows the lines really nicely. Not that I could have fold one, just the key fobs probably out of my range. Totally understand what you're saying about that. Touch pads are awful, hopefully old manufacturers of learnt now to go back to some classy switch gear instead. Can't be flacking around trying to touch pad touch screen especially in the winter when you might have wet hands. Bike should have called it the Roma GT. But another thing I agree with you, the sound is very disappointing to have a V8 that doesn't sing is very strange

First of all, nod of respect to everyone else whose brain kept playing Vivaldi after the track skipped. Secondly, instant like for the way that shirt you wore to the launch looked against that pearl white Roma!

This is a fantastic and very beautiful car! The only thing that annoys me, are these silly touch pads! A Ferrari must have a real start button! All the rest, just wonderfull!

Great review, loved the transition from promo vid to review at the beginning. Living in an area where you see quite a few Ferraris, I just wonder why I haven t seen a single Roma on the road- ever. To me this is a Jagarrari or Aston Marcello with the former having an actually substantially nicer interior than this one being more than twice the price. I don t get the Roma at all even though it s supposedly a car that I should like given what it s meant to be. Am unaware of its sales figures but I bet them to be disappointing. To me, it s mostly the car that makes me appreciate the Portofino M a lot more than I did previously...and in general, I m the guy going coupe over convertible all day any day (with targas/GTS models being a compelling option).

@20:32, you can buy 28 Dacia Sanderos for the price of a Ferrari Roma.

IMO the Roma is GORGEOUS, If I owned one it'd be such an item of pride and joy, i think I even like it more than the F12.

Glorious intro. Top tier.

Great video. I’d buy the car for the key alone!

Good review James. As for the fuel tank, needs a 550 style 114l tank for a decent touring range :)

I know all super car manufacturers do the same thing but, the option pricing makes no sense. For example. The carbon dash insert at $2000 and magnaride at $3000. You’re telling me that a simple carbon insert costs 2/3 of a very complex adjustable suspension and associated electronics? Just makes no sense.

i think it looks stunning and even better in person as i could see during the mille miglia, the grill however is not for me but im sure there will be options to change them

Very entertaining review. You've got a way of doing this that makes the 40 minutes fly by. It helps that there's good subject matter, what's not to like about a Ferrari. To be clear I am not a Ferrari customer and never will be, so watching 40 minutes on one shouldn't really be. Gripes? I don't get the big messy screen that's in new cars. And especially in this what $250,000 Ferrari it doesn't have Android Auto but it has all this other tech? I'm not really into tech in my cars. I like to drive, my car has a six-speed manual a flat six, and no driving aids except for ABS. But even though I'm not in a tech in the cars, I pulled the factory radio out of my car and installed the PCCM Plus double din. Sometimes instead of the engine I like to listen to podcasts or some music even. It makes sense to have the nav and the tech, and once you've used Android Auto or CarPlay it's hard to go back. I know, I know it's stupid to compare apples to oranges or to whinge about no car play or Android Auto in a car I'll never sit in let alone drive, but there's more. The car sounds like a twin turbo V8 I guess, and you said you would add aftermarket exhaust I have no idea what that would cost but I imagine a lot, so again disappointing that table stakes for this kind of car aren't included at that price. My car had the same problem and I bought it but I replaced the entire exhaust system of low flow cats headers and valve boxes, I think the whole thing installed was about 3,500. And every price point has its problems as even I can see from my comparison. I also think it's nice that has a boot and fold down seats, but two plus two coupes are huge these days it's not just Porsche, Ferraris there too. I would however take your black one or dark blue whatever that is. It looks fast just sitting there. The Roma is definitely a good looking car and more to my taste than most modern cars. I like a more rounded gentle profile (hey there ladies) and it seems like most cars especially performance cars these days are all jagged ends and lines and squares and angles. Me no like. Thanks for the entertainment and the review James. Like I said I'm not a ferrari customer and never will be but there's nothing wrong with some casual voyeurism hahaha. Another thing that I didn't really like is I think you called it torque vectoring, I mean if you have all that power but the tires can't handle it so just so you can have bragging rights you have more power than anyone would ever need and then you just reduce the power of the engine when it might spin the tires? Seems like a waste. I guess with these modern heavy cars more horsepower is good, but I bet 400 or 450 would be tons in that car. But it doesn't sound good in the marketing brochures...

I love how much power they get from a tiny V8. I like that it's quiet. I don't really want to hear it. I am used to American V8s so that is what I like. I also don't dislike the styling. I can see the past Ferrari cars in it. The interior is unfortunately what I expect from a new car.

Glad to be back with Giacomo Martini

Jay, I really hope you have a DB12 review in the works for us, as I think this would be the perfect review pairing. I myself am contemplating between the two, I'm waiting for my dealer to receive a DB12 demo so I can see it in the metal. Waiting for part two, I hope it's not next week!

I enjoyed the music at the start, a good way to introduce the Roma

V8 FNE is a number plate ive seen many times on the Ferrari Roma. Harry's Garage Roma review(3 years ago) which was a different car also had the same plate.

Great review. If I had endless money I might buy a Roma, but it feels as much like a technology purchase as an automotive one. In 10 years it will be antiquated, while something like a 328 or Daytona will be regarded as appreciating assets and icons. It may not be fair to Ferrari, but I’ve always thought of them as forever keeper cars. You don’t replace a 512bb with something more modern. You get something more modern and keep the 512 as a special car. Same with some of the air-cooled Porsches: a new Cayenne is the better daily driver but a long hood 911S is a forever car. Again if money is no object, drive a Roma for three years and then upgrade. Pretty car and amply quick for any public roads.

Farrari Roma is beautiful like it in metallic red and the grill looks so cool 😻

The classical music was a bit irritating but fitted the stationary Roma perfectly, which made the switch great 🤙🏼 Do these special edition car specific intros scratch the film making itch? Roma next to the Scud shot .. belissimo

This is one of the few modern Ferraris I like (with the FF/GTC4), but that color is a shame.

Brilliant!!!

Another great video

Very much enjoyed the futurama reference!

I am not a Ferrari fanboy but the Roma is my favourite Ferrari for many, many years. Perhaps thats because it has the proportions and looks of an Aston Martin.

My favourite Ferrari by miles and I’d have a dark metallic blue one in a heartbeat. Real life means I have to live with an F type R (no a bad substitute). Don’t get me started on your assertion that they both need a rear flourish, as the lack of spoilers are exactly why they are beautiful. At least you don’t give Ferrari a free ride on reliability. We should embrace these wonderful cars while we still can.

As someone that has driven both, but not owned any, the Roma is so much nicer than the California.

My favorite new Ferrari as it isnt so shouty. An elegant GT.

Ferrari: My boss said we can’t use our iconic taillights anymore - can I dig around in your old parts bins? Chevrolet: Sure.

I had an Alfa Romeo Giulia it did all the weird electrical nonsense, I found it so frustrating I got rid of it after 6 months. I had a handful of Mercedes and Porsche's prior and none of them gave weird error messages ever, they just worked every day. I love Italian cars but I aren't sure I could have one as my only car again, I would definitely have a Ferrari as a weekend warrior though. One day..

I live by a Jardine group dealership. They always have a fair few of these on the forecourt, can't get rid of them for love nor money.
