2006 Ferrari F430 F1 review from UK and Ireland
"Brilliant car, flawed, but brilliant"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Telephone microphone not working when delivered.
Gearbox fault (changed gear on its own) traced to air in system (bleed valves not tightened).
Intermittent low speed misfire.
Spurious CST warnings which require engine on/off reload.
General comments?
Car feels much more like a sports car than the 360, with first rate handling, better power at lower revs, and very sharp (non-ceramic) brakes. Loads of grip - feels like a kart.
Disappointing niggles which take too long to fix.
