No personal Ferrari experience but s business acquaintance of mine has a 2012 458. He had a 360 before that, also bought new. He told me Ferrari offers a maintenance/warranty package for newer cars which he buys each year, I think he said for $7500/year. This covers basically everything. He had a transmission failure on the 458 which was a $37K repair bill (IIRC the transmission was replaced and cost $30K alone). Paid for itself. Not sure how far back they offer this, but my guess is it's only cars a certain age or less.
He gave me a ride in it a few months back. Wow, that thing is a hammer. Makes any Porsche I've been in, including the 991, look like a VW Golf. It's expensive for a reason! But I would not drive it every day, however I would drive a 911 every day.
