We say The most practical Ferrari around, but can’t compete with its two-seat stablemates.Performance 5.7 V12 does exactly what it should, but staying true to its four seats and grand tourer status, it can be easily tamed in traffic.Emissions 475g/km isn’t good, but what did you expect? The 612 also has the worst fuel economy of any Ferrari, meaning getting MPG into the teens will be a challenge.Driving It handles like a supercar at supercar speeds, but slow down and it feel like it could handle the school run, albeit a very expensive one – the best of both worlds.Feel The 612’s V12 certainly barks, but that’s all part of the appeal.Space The 612 is as big on the inside as it is externally – so huge. Its long wheelbase means there’s plenty of legroom all-round. The boot, although big, is oddly shaped.Equipment The cabin has a classic look and conceals any gadgetry well with leather trim. Satellite navigation systems and the like have to be specified however.Price Big pricetag and the usual big Ferrari waiting list. While running costs are extremely steep, 612 Scaglietti residuals are likely to stay strong.Quality Needless to say, the 612 Scaglietti oozes quality. From the paintwork to the trim, it’s hard to find a car as well put together as this.Safety Front airbags, intelligent seatbelts and stability control are fitted as standard on the 612 Scaglietti.Pros Combines best qualities of a sports car and a grand tourer, amazing build quality, good residuals.Cons High running and maintenance costs.Alternatives Aston Martin DBS
