I put a couple of hundred miles on the 456 GT yesterday . It is again a happy beast, having been able to stretch its legs. The 456 GT does just about everything you ask without ever even seeming to break a sweat. Most fun was blowing by BMW's and Mercedes on the hills . The Ferrari 12 cylinder engine is fantastic. If you need four seats, I don't think there is any other car that comes close.

It's a lovely car for long drives!

That it is . It devours distances effortlessly. Other plus is that it does not wear on the driver. It really is a Ferrari that you can drive for 6+ hours very comfortably. Call it a civilized beast for 4.

You bet!

 

[Dj Dirk]

so how do you find the back seating of the 456?

 

[Boxer]

For children up to 13 or 14 or small adults it is fine. The seats are quite comfortable but legroom is a bit lacking.

so in other words, i only need to be driving the car, i should never bother to sit in the back :green:

You took the words right out of my mouth. Plus I don't think you would have much of a chance of fitting in the back.

The drivers seat is definitely, and always, the best

nope, i even doubt that it would be hard in the Scaglietti, headroom is defenitly better, but have you looked at the legroom already?

 

[Dr. Bob]

my european size 47 won't fit the back seat

 

[Boxer]

Legroom is definitely more of an issue then headroom. Is the legroom any better on the 400i/412i 's ?
