I hate that everyone keeps getting rid of buttons and knobs to replace them with touch screens. Buttons allow me to keep my eyes on the road while making adjustments.

Make sure to always have an air freshener in your Ferrari so it always has a nice a-Roma

I actually love the paddles being mounted on the column. It allows for them to be bigger, better designed and with a nicer mechanical feel. Also, I like that no matter how out of shape I get in fast switch corners, I always know which paddle is up and which is down.

This car will never age. What a beautiful design. I‘ve never liked Ferraris, but I am absolutely in love with this one. Fantastic job, Ferrari.

Looks like Aston Martin finally updated their interior. Good for them

The 7 years free Ferrari servicing is a big selling point to add to this elegant GT car! No other manufacturer offers such a good deal & servicing any of todays sportscars is expensive. I predict Ferrari will sell lots of Roma’s!

It is a perfect blend of the rear of the classic Ferrari 400 Superamerica with the front of the modern Monza SP1 / SP2!! I love this car!! Great content as always!

That square plastic lump in the grill, not even centered. Dahell. C'mon Ferrari are you kidding me

The name's Bondi, Giovanni Bondi...

He's correct. If you think the Roma looks great in photos/video, you will LOVE it in person. I've spent a good hour with the Roma and am hugely impressed. Big Win for Ferrari.

Imagine if this sounded like a 60’s Le Mans Ferrari 😍 would be a utter dream car. I applaud Ferrari for taking the lead on some smoother vintage lines in a world of sharper, bigger, more aggressive

08:45 "Feels like an entirely different brand" - not surprising given this was supposed to be the Maserati Alfieri.

Idk why they made the steering wheel a touchscreen ... if it ain’t broke don’t fix it

10:15 "Windshield wiper motor failure. Go to dealer" on the dash ... 10:40 "Low beam failure"... ...it's still an Italian supercar then...! And, that square block of plastic in front splitter :/

Did you Photoshop yourself in the thumbnail?

I like the paddles being fixed. You always know where they are! You need to be pretty handy with a Ferrari if your shifting up with opposite lock on.

I don't care what everyone says, I think the Roma is gorgeous.

Shields, coloured brake calipers, yellow wheel centres and contrast stitching have become a cliche. So many used examples are visually a dogs breakfast. This is far classier without any racing influences. Very smart and a guaranteed big seller for daily users.

There is an elegance to the design that I am obsessed with. A Ferrari without shouting "Look at me". Just wish it sounded like the Aston Martin Vantage.

Best review of Roma I've seen, I learned new things! Wheel paddles, both have good and bad points and as I can't choose (yet) I'm happy with either. Enjoyed that - thanks!

Oh joy. Touch screens.

Huge pedals on the column for me, but if they are large enough and feel tactile enough either is acceptable. I’m used to driving a Giulia and stelvio QV for the past 2 years and I love the column shifters on them, which are basically identical to Ferrari. I really dislike small plastic shift paddles. If you put them on the column then by default they will always be large enough by necessity of needing to reach them. Cars with wheel mounted shifters tend to cheap out on them more often.

Excellent car review and video Mr JWW!! your so much more professional then the other KZfaqr's out there. Well done!!!

Not sure about the front grille, or this general direction they're heading. It's a nice car but doesn't feel very Ferrari.

That intro is just so...... pleasing. I love it

Every time I see this and before I read the title or whatever... I see Aston Martin

Whatever we think about the styling and the direction that Ferrari is going... dont forget the cinematography... good job, especially that intro - that was epic

Another great video, thank you! To answer your question, I like the paddles on the column- they are always in the same place and you really shouldnt be shifting with the wheel turned too much anyway

Drive the SF90 ASAP ! Loved the intro montage 😍👌🔥

Why is that screen changes soooooooo slow? That should drive me nuts 🤪

Re the paddles position, If you use pull push steering the fixed paddles will pretty much be always in the right place. Also for road driving using pull push you will never run out of steering, which on a mountain hairpin in a fast powerful car could get a bit tricky

21:15 Column paddles reduces the margin of error during cornering. Steering mounted can make the driver loose sense of which paddle does what and which position they're currently in while cornering, as opposed to column mounted which makes the movement more regular and automatic, so drivers don't have to think about it. Vast majority of race cars use column even tough they only have 540 degree steering rotation.

I miss Italy….

How i love those round lights of the past decade :(

I think column mounted pedals are better. I think it helps with durability of the pedals. And being on fixed position, helps take pressure off the mind. U dont have to constantly track where which pedal is.

10:39 I could hear the thud of his heart when it oversteered😁😁

I love how the driver and the passenger each have like their own 'zone'.

What a beautiful car! It's a piece of art indeed.

Congrats on the caterham race James.!! Looking forward to this. Quite a good looking car!!

Stunning car & opening of the video! Oh to go to Italy 🇮🇹 Thank you for immersing our eye 👁 balls! What a Ferrari - love the 60’s Lusso inspiration. A dream machine 🙏🏾

Aston Martin, McLaren, and Ferrari all mixed in one. I dont like it, but I guess I see the appeal.

Absolutely beautiful! My favorite Ferrari! Love the very clean design! So smooth! Simple yet gorgeous! Must have one! 👍

I test drove one and loved it. Got the back end loose by mistake coming out of a turn- with salesman behind me in a separate car- whoopsi. The only draw back for me, a traditionalist at 69 years old, the digital displays- even the tach! Its way too much to deal with when your trying to drive at high speeds- or even low speeds- but it is the way things are today. On to the next generation!

I think paddles on the column is better when your steering wheel is off center and you have to move your hands around quickly in different places, when drifting etc the shifter you want will always be in the same location rather than spinning around all the time.

Looks like an Alfa Brera at the rear .... plus I’ve never understood why they spend all that money time and research designing the front end but negate the legal need for a number plate...🤷🏽‍♂️

This car is all about the new infotainment but it looks so laggy

So what happens when,as in a lot of Ferraris, the battery goes flat with no analogue door handles....🤔😁. I can think of worse places to be stuck in mind you!😝. Superb content as ever sir and wonderfully presented and shot....utter class.☝️

I actually prefer paddles on the column. It just helps knowing that the upshift and downshift paddles are always where you expect them to be, even mid corner whilst applying lock 😁

A comparison between the 992 & the Roma would be very interesting!

Finally! The video I’ve been waiting for

Looks absolutely breathtaking. One thing (might just be me) but I just can't help but think that the engine note reminds me of one of my first cars, a Honda Civic. I hope it is just the recording and it sounds much better in person.

A very good review .. so honest Mr JWW. When does the soft top come out :-).?

Paddles mounted on the column is the best way, because the paddles always there where you expecting them. And in a corner no real good driver shifts, brakes or accelerates. You slow down before the corner to the right speed and when you left the corner and the steering is straight again you can accelerate, so you are always fast and you have always the maximum of traction. As much as I like modern cockpits of cars, this Ferrari has not a very good balance between buttons and touchscreen. In this case I like the concept of Gordon Murrays T.50 much more; that's infotainment system doesn't age so quick as the on of the Roma.

The lag is crazy with the screens on the display when you were switching between them. Why do car manufacturers still struggle so much to have a fluid system

Hi, how soft are the dampers / the suspension? Does it iron out road imperfections?

I know you won’t read this, but...you deserve your high subscriber number. I’m impressed because I hear zero ego, and 100% car focus. Thank you.

Looks like people aren't a huge fan of this car's design. I like it.

Amazing car love it and I’m waiting for my order 2022 the same but color Blue tour de france

So long to the days of truly beautiful Ferrari interiors. Keep bringing us the quality content JW!

Ferrari is now up there with the best manufacturers of grand touring around. Great effort by the Prancing horse. Great effort by Mr.JWW on reflect that in his fantastic video.

So, how does it drive? *WHILE POWER SLIDING ROUND A CORNER*

Looks incredibly like an Aston Martin Vantage! That's not a bad thing of course...

Mr JWW, question for you, what is the black square inside the grill, located on the bottom left, while looking at the car?

Maybe I'm very old school but I don't like having so many screens. I recently saw Harry's garage video on the F430 and I think that was a sweet spot when it comes to interiors. What's wrong with using a key and normal indicators?

At least they kept the classic engine warning light. Quite the nostalgic touch.

Eyes on the road. Eyes on the road. Eyes on the road. Changes switch gear to touch screens so there's no tactile feel and you have to look at the buttons.

Jolly interesting I have always thought paddles on the wheel always made sense to me..this is by far the best review I have seen so well explained informative understandable bravo grazie grazie Mille ciao ciao

Nice review, as always. Just a question, as a 922ts owner, would you prefer Roma or Turbo S as daily driver?

Looking to forward seeing the welding you’re gonna do with those welding goggles!

Why I always find out that you were in my region after the fact?! T_T Anyway beautiful car and I'm especially happy that Ferrari finally changed the interior! I really like what they're doing!

The vids of JWW are always such high quality

Tomorrow a buddy is going to Germany to review and probably buy a low mileage F355 Spider. Went to test drive a few with him. I cannot wait til that car arrives. I LOVE YOUR REVIEWS!! Yet MY GOD a touch screen for the engine start and a passenger screen to handle the infotainment????? I hope (however electric it all will be) that we can show newer generations that driving can be about the driving, not about BS (or what you can also do on an iPad).

James! When are we getting an update on the bunker's build progress?

Not a fan of the spoiler, but other than that, it’s perhaps one of the most beautiful designs of the past 5 years

It’s interesting, went to configure one after watching the video and at least in America the scuderia shield is on the Roma in the configurator. Wonder if that’s a mistake.

Absolutely beautiful car. I agree with others that for people that have never driven or even been around a Ferrari, this would be the ultimate first choice Ferrari for them. The exterior is exquisite, I absolutely love the interior with the cockpit and center section divide, and the forward menu and touchscreen steering wheel is awesome. I just love it. Great job Ferrari

One of the best content maker in This plateform very detailed review Hats off mate

I see alot of Aston Martin styling cues

To my eye, this is the most elegantly beautiful machine to roll out of Maranello since the 1970s. Simply sublime. I just HOPE there's a manual back up to an ELECTRONIC EXIT BUTTON??

Only shift gears when the steering wheel is straight ahead is the proper technique. What a stunning beauty. Thank you for the review

Hi James ! Just wanted to say that the content you provided us with recently has been fantastic ! Thanks :-)

THHHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIISSS is the ferr..... oh, wrong channel

I remember that you have a little kid: do you know if the Roma has the isofix option rear/front? Thanks

That thing is gorgeous! Great review James. Which color combination would you say looks best?

This is the most beautiful Maserati Alfieri Ferrari has ever built

looks like a Modern take on the 612 Scaglietti 😯

I am constantly amazed at these videos of these guys can go around a blind corner as fast as they do if you did that in the state should be running into bicyclist motorcyclists another cars and trucks I guess maybe it’s a close circuit with a professional driver doesn’t look like it but I guess it could be

I own a Mercedes with paddle shift on the wheel. While spirited cornering sometimes it's hard to locate the paddles.

Paddles on the column all day !!

I want to have the shifters of the steering wheel. I’m happy that Ferrari keeps doing that. Stunning car though. Absolutely stunning!

In your presentation about the importance Ferrari places on "Hands on the wheel. Eyes on the road", I did not hear you mention a "Heads up" display. Does it have one?

Regarding the paddle shifts . With steering angles beyond the reach of the paddles which would essentially be a tighter corner, would you shift up ? Considering you entered the corner in the right gear

I dislike the rear end immensely. The front end however... standing back and looking at it - it looks shark like and I like it

What's that huge cube on the left side of the front spoiler? It stands out like a turd in a punch bowl

Amazing work, felt that car in my face. I prefer steering column mounted paddles.

Hi, great video. Nice sunglasses, what brand is it? Greeting Gunnar Lofoten, Norway

You shouldn’t be changing gear mid turn anyway. Paddles should always stay in place

This new Aston Martin is sweet 😳😳

Yo this dude is out here with the E.D.I.T.H. glasses!? 😂 Wat up Tony! 🤣

The way that rear spoiler is integrated into the rear window line is sheer genius. This car is simply Ferrari’s most gorgeous.
