The Ferrari California can easily be found for under $100K right now, and at that price, it might be the Ferrari you've been waiting for. Yes, it's not the mid engine V8 or even the front engine V12's, but it's just as much a Ferrari as those cars, and has the performance numbers to back it up. The grand touring setup provides far better comfort than most other Ferraris, but a touch of practicality yet still going fast as hell with a 0-60 in 3.8 seconds!

Cali30 owner here in the UK. Fantastic car, people really need to drive one before deciding whether it's a real Ferrari or not. It's different to a 430 or 458 but it doesn't try to imitate those models. The smile on your face all the way through your video is how I feel every time I take it out. Great vid as always.....

The California was sold in the US for model years 2010 - 2012, had 453 HP, and did 0 - 60 in 3.9 seconds. The California 30 added 30 more horsepower at 483 HP and was sold in the US for model years 2013 -2014. The California T (turbo) had 553 HP and was sold in the US for model years 2015 - 2018. The Portofino replaced the California T starting in model year 2019, has 591 HP, and goes 0 - 60 in 3.5 seconds.

Great review and thank you very much! I am 25 years old and from Beijing and I just bought a Cali. Ferraris are expensive in China due to the taxes and other issues, but a used Cali is under my budget. I totally love my Cali, a delicate balance between speed and comfort. Cruising around town at night with the roof open is totally elegant and mind-blowing! Yes, some may argue that it is not a Ferrari, but it drives and sounds like a Ferrari. Not everyone wants a hard-core supercar, right? My next goal would be an F-12 and hopefully, I'll get it in three years. Love from China!

I own a 2010 California Mirabeau blue with the crema interior. Beautiful car and gets lots of attention. However I get sick of people saying it’s not a true Ferrari. It shares most of its parts with the 430 and 458. It was fun to watch how you were skeptical at first and then your mind slowly changed as you drove it. It’s a seductive car. Definitely one of the better reviews I’ve seen on the California. Keep up the good work!

The sound when the valves open is giving me goosebumps! The uncomfortable upright position in the back seat must be due to the rollover protection that is positioned near the passenger's neck. They thus force you to bend forward so that in case the sensors tell that the car is rolling over and the protection is shot out (ignited by explosives) your neck is not in the way. At least that is the official explanation for my Porsche 997 softtop. Might be the same here.

They are brilliant cars, a bit less intense than the mid-engined models but just as quick in the real world and more comfortable when you're just enjoying the ride. It's the styling that puts some people off, especially when Ferrari made no attempt to disguise that enormous rear, and in fact made it worse by stacking the exhausts, which just emphasises the height at the back. The later Cali T was a small improvement in looks but the Portofino is much more successfully styled. The PF is also 400lb lighter and has another 100+ BHP so it's a seriously fast car when you want it to be. The steering has also been programmed to be much pointier. But yeah, I drove the original Cali when it came out and as a driver's car it is by no means 'girlie'; it's less hardcore and so more accessible to everyone. Good review.

Feeling like Ferrari targeted the Mercedes SL65 in 2009. Similar performance and price. Both retractable hardtop convertibles. Both luxurious, long distance and front engined. Both available in roadster configuration. Even weigh nearly the same.

Dan and Megan's cup holder argument was very funny. Dan three hours of research and Megan Zero hours, LOL. That car would suit me and my kids. we are petite thin small people. Italians are small petite people. Our average height is 5'5" and about 150lbs. Although when I lived in Italy (with the US Navy) I saw very little exotics driving around all thru Sicily. I decided to buy the Maserati Granturismo because it has lots of legroom in the backseat, is also a good grocery-getter because of trunk space. My kids and friends enjoy the Maserati. Great unbiased review from Megan and Dan. I would buy it, yes, because it fits me.

Great videos. But @1:15, “direct port injection” is not a thing. It’s either direct injection (directly into the combustion chamber), port injection (where fuel and air both run down the intake port and over the intake valve), or direct AND port injection (usually aftermarket on a DI car where the stock DI system cannot keep up with the fuel demands of an aftermarket super/turbocharger). The last is a combo of both and usually has twice as many injectors as cylinders. For example, an inline 6 would have twelve fuel injectors, six spraying fuel directly into the combustion chambers and six spraying fuel into the intake ports. Some manufacturers are starting to do the “both” thing to keep intake valves clean and lessen carbon buildup

I recently bought my first Ferrari which is a 2010 California and just like Dan, I have not been able to get rid of the smile on my face every time I get behind the wheel. Mine is in the TDF Blue which is my favorite Ferrari color. I also made a minor mod (via Ferrari Chat) where the brake lights are now part of the two top tail lights. Like the turn signals, the brake lights by default are by the turn signals as Dan pointed out. The car now looks more Ferrari-like with the middle LED and two top tail lights going on when you press the brake. With the openly honest reviews like Dan's, Doug DeMuro and JayEmm, the California is finally getting the respect that it deserves and is truly a great Ferrari Grand Tourer that will not disappoint when you get to actually sit in it and take it for a spin.

The California is quite interesting. Now in the UK you can find the California at around the same price as the F430s... so if I was to spend 70k I think I would go for the F430. But what makes it more interesting is that you can get an Audi R8 V8 Manual for 30k (GBP always)...

You should do a review like this for the Maserati Granturismo! Borrow your friends that you did the service on :P (that’s how I found your channel a long time ago) Maybe find a 4.7 and a 4.2 and do a review between the 2, would be a good video for the Maserati community. It’s a question that gets asked a lot on the forums
