• Handy cabin storage
• Rear seats are small
• But they fold to enhance the boot capacity

This being a more daily-driver capable Ferrari means there needs to be more than a small nod towards practicality. Things like single-piece carbon bucket seats with race harnesses and a stripped-out cockpit with nowhere to store a bag of sweets are unlikely to win a buyer’s heart here.

How much space is there?

In the back there is a pair of seats suitable for very small children, or more realistically, additional luggage for a weekend away. They’re no smaller than you get in a Porsche 911 though, and they fold down to unlock a large rear storage compartment.

Boot space and storage

The boot itself is pretty good, ranging between 272-345 litres with the seats up or down – which is good enough for two big suitcases or three squashy bags (or ideally some exquisitely tailored luggage), with a usable size and shape to the aperture when the lid itself is open.

Elsewhere, you get a few spots to store things up front, including a single cup holder, plus some slim door pockets and a second cubby in the centre console. There’s an underarm storage bin too with a USB socket and 12v charger.

How safe is it?

• Optional driver assist kit
• Adaptive cruise and lane assist
• Matrix LED headlights too

As well as all the new tech in the cockpit, the Roma also features a set of up-to-date driving aids, which suits its potential to be used as a daily driver or long-distance cruiser.

This includes:

• Adaptive cruise control
• Autonomous emergency braking
• Lane departure warning with traffic sign recognition
• Blind spot detection with rear cross traffic alert
• Surround view camera.

You also get Matrix LED headlights as an option, which improves visibility by allowing the use of your high beams without blinding oncoming traffic.
