And our F-Type's are different how? With the exception of where to change tires, I run in to the exact same issues with my F-Type R as Doug ran in to with his Ferrari.
My solution for the puncture in a tire on a Ferrari is to take them off at home and just take the affected wheel or wheels to your local Discount Tire and have them fixed there. No record on any system and for a patch it is highly likely they would do them for free.

The first few problems are present on the f type. Alhamdulillah, the last few are not. The ride on city roads is definitely better in the f type.
I don't feel that mileage is nearly as important, and the attention is much more manageable (maybe a little too manageable :-P).

Since I use the F-Type on weekends or whatever my time allows, I really don't care about the issues the guy had, if I need to go to some place, I scout the road ahead of time with the Range Rover or the GTI.

Nonsense. Neither of these cars are really for use with passenger load/grocery shopping etc. I thought this was really dumb and if you own a $200k sports car wtf are you doing going to walmart?

One hot blonde in the passenger seat and enough space for some Gucci luggage, a bottle of single malt, some cuban cigars for a dirty weekend is what these cars are built for. Goodday.

I'm just glad he sold it so his "my Ferrari and I" posts on Jalopnik will disappear.

I am sorry he is just a little whining ***** who doesn't really have enough money to own a Ferrari. I suggest a Prius. I think he would fit right in.

Completely agree. Ridiculous assessments in regards to his expectations on a 2 seat car. A Ferrari is supposed to look and sound good, not carry a 12 pack paper towel from walmart.

Obnoxious guy, that's been given too much attention.
