The Roma launched as a front-engine GT with a 3.9-litre twin-turbo V8 producing 612bhp. These early cars had software glitches in the new digital interface and haptic steering wheel buttons. The Roma is generally very reliable with the 7-year maintenance plan.
Early cars suffered from software bugs in the new digital interface, including screen freezes and unresponsive steering wheel buttons.
The Roma, like many modern Ferraris, is extremely sensitive to battery voltage. Weak or aging batteries cause multiple warning lights, sensor errors, and erratic electronic behavior.
The 8-speed DCT in the Roma can exhibit jerky low-speed behaviour, delayed engagement from a standstill, and occasional software-related shift quality issues. Some owners report a pronounced head-nod when pulling away in auto mode, and rough 1-2 upshifts at low throttle openings.
Some early Roma models have reported loose door trims, rattles, and minor interior build quality issues that can cause annoying noises while driving.
