Incredible Ride, Sticker Shock, Low MPG

2006 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti F1 2dr Coupe (5.7L 12cyl 6AM)

Review

Best controllable acceleration ever witnessed in a vehicle. Breaking is mind blowing. Handling exceptional (except tears through $400 tires). Seat comfort and visibility are the best I have witnessed in Ferrari lineup, and I am lucky enough to have owned 3 prior.

Favorite Features

Gotta be the exhaust and outright animal acceleration and breaking.

Suggested Improvements

Gas tank is too small, MPG is way too low. Otherwise complete and total perfection, almost unbelievable.

612 Scag The Best!

2006 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti F1 2dr Coupe (5.7L 12cyl 6AM)

Review

The engine is strong pulling right up to 7000 rpm, handling is excellent, yet remains fairly quiet interior wise unlike our former Aston. 612 really is an enjoyable car!

Favorite Features

Seats, brakes, ride adjustment, engine power.

Suggested Improvements

Soft close doors needed, MPG should not be this bad!

612 Scaglietti! Quietly the Best Ferrari Ever!

2006 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti 2dr Coupe (5.7L 12cyl 6M)

Review

This car, the 612 Scaglietti, is overlooked compared to the Spider and Enzo, however it performs better than any Ferrari I have ever owned or driven in. People go nuts over this car when you "run it." It has the comforts of a Cadillac, yet the performance of a Viper. I am truly extremely satisfied with this Ferrari.

Favorite Features

The awesome seat stitching and comfort. The large trunk for luggage or two golf bags. The engine power and sound are incredible, yet very controllable in daily situations. The braking is strong, while the looks don't lose you six months after purchasing a Spider.

Suggested Improvements

Possibly add soft close doors and make XM Satellite Radio standard. It's hard to find anything we don't like about this vehicle. This is some machine.

612 After One Year

Written by: Don Brodie on 01/02/2007

Vehicle

2006 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti 2dr Coupe (5.7L 12cyl 6M)

Review

The reliability of this car is only fair. I initially had severe computer problems that started the car on 6-cylinders and after two minutes switched to 12 cylinders. The car shook and sputtered for those two minutes. This was corrected after two visits in which a computer re-programming took place. Now I have my check engine light constantly flashing even after being deactivated, twice. It again recently activated, and I have to bring it in again for the third time.

Favorite Features

The navigation system is quite good and worth the extra expense.

Suggested Improvements

Ferrari must learn to inform their dealers of continued problem areas. Even though the computer re-programming was needed in 50% of the cars, no dealer had a clue as to the problem or so I was told.

Review

I have had this top of the line Ferrari and it's the best of the three that I've had. I wanted to get an Enzo, but it is too much money. The 612 Scaglietti is nicer and cheaper. I also have a Bentley GT which drives much better.

Favorite Features

Fast, interior, and the engine.

Suggested Improvements

Improve the gas mileage and the finer details.

Not an everyday car

2006 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti F1 2dr Coupe (5.7L 12cyl 6AM)

Review

I just purchased this Black on Black with yellow stiching 612 and it is EXCELLENT! Peoples' jaws drop and heads are flying from all directions when I drive by. The exterior is great with side scallops which look great and lines that cut between the headlamps. The rear trunk has two additional storage compartments which is great. The interior is supperb with automatic climate control, automatic headlamps, rain sensing windshield wipers, electric seats, heated seats, electric mirrors, and rear seats are just as comfortable as the front ones. I warn you though this is not an everyday car, considering I payed over $300,000 dollars it. The steering mounted sport button is 10 times better than normal auto.

Favorite Features

Auto headlamps, rain sensing wipers, sport button, fast shifts, automatic mode, daytona electric seats, and auto climate control.

Suggested Improvements

NONE!

Review

This is the first Ferrari I have owned where the ride can be tolerated everyday, yet performance was not sacrificed. It is a very enjoyable car, I cannot think of anything else I would want to drive right now.

Favorite Features

The body structure, seats, engine, brakea, and tires.

Suggested Improvements

The usual gas mileage thing. It does matter even if your paying close to $300,000.
