What Car? says
For Awe-inspiring performance, boot space, interior room
Against High running costs, road noise
Verdict The most useable Ferrari available
Go for… V8
Avoid… N/A
- 1. The steering is accurate and the body control excellent, while the ride is comfortable enough to make this a great cruiser, too
- 2. Visibility is good, apart for an unswept area of windscreen by the driver's screen pillar, while the control and switchgear layout is largely faultless
- 3. Every California gets a 453bhp V8 engine and an automatic F1-inspired gearbox, allowing for a sub-four second 0-60mph time and a top speed of more than 190mph
- 4. Average economy is 21.6mpg, but start enjoying the sound of that V8 too much and you’ll see that drop to around 15mpg very quickly
- 5. There have been a few issues with the electric folding roof and boot, but a quick sensor fix by a dealer will sort this
