We have had a 2010 California for a few months here. I have put a few hundred miles on it. Its a 2010 with about 10k miles on it.

My 11 year old thinks its really cool, as do the other kids in the neighborhood. I don't live in a neighborhood where you see Ferrari's much. I took the car for the weekend and when I was in the student pick up line at Sunday School all the kids stopped and stared, so did some of the mom's. I have a bunch of air cooled 911's and some other vintage cars, none of which are Ferrari's or exotics. I also get to drive modern Porsche's daily.

I assume you're comparing the California to a modern Porsche. If that's the case, my opinion is they're not even close. The Ferrari feels cheap compared to the 911. The materials feel cheap, the chassis has more flex, it just doesn't feel as well made. The Nav system is the same one you'll find in a Chrysler 300 of the same year. The Ferrari sounds great, the motor just screams, its not nearly as understated sounding as the Porsche, around town.

For 100k plus a 991 Carrera S is hard to beat. It does everything so well. On the other hand you wont stand out in a crowd like a Ferrari.
