The picture
Is the Ferrari F60 America or Honda Accord more reliable?
A plain-English read on what the NHTSA record says about living with each vehicle.
Ferrari F60 America
The Ferrari F60 America is an ultra-exclusive, low-volume model with essentially no owner complaints on file, which is typical for a vehicle of this rarity and price. The two recalls, one for a passenger airbag inflator and one for the hydraulic brake system, are the only documented issues, and they are addressed by the manufacturer. For a buyer, this means the car's reliability record is a blank slate, but the recalls highlight that even exotic cars need safety-related fixes.
Honda Accord
The Honda Accord, in contrast, is a mass-market sedan with a decade of data showing a high complaint volume, averaging over 440 per year. The most common issues cluster around the engine, electrical system, and forward collision avoidance, with owners reporting noises, warning lights, and sudden system failures. While many complaints are not crash-related, the sheer number and the presence of 160 crash-related complaints and 3 deaths indicate that buyers should be vigilant about specific problem areas.

What actually goes wrong
The problems owners report
The most-complained-about systems on each vehicle — what fails, and what owners say in their own words.
Ferrari F60 America
No component data available.
The recall for the passenger-side frontal airbag inflator module suggests a potential defect that could affect deployment in a crash. Owners should verify that the recall has been performed, as a faulty inflator could fail to protect the front passenger.
The recall for the hydraulic brake system indicates a possible issue with brake performance. This is critical for safety, and buyers should ensure the recall fix is applied to avoid reduced braking capability.

Owners report unusual noises and sudden loss of power, with warning lights for brakes, hill descent, and ABS appearing. This suggests potential engine or drivetrain issues that could lead to stalling or reduced control while driving.
Complaints include tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) warnings followed by tire failure, and rodent damage to wiring harnesses. These electrical gremlins can cause unexpected warnings and even catastrophic tire issues, posing safety risks.
The system triggers false alerts or fails to work correctly, with messages about adaptive cruise control, lane keeping, and automatic high beams appearing intermittently. This can be distracting and may undermine driver trust in safety features.
While not as numerous as engine or electrical complaints, brake-related issues are present, and the recall for the antilock brake control unit indicates a known problem that could affect braking performance.

Buyer analysis
Ferrari F60 America or Honda Accord: which should you buy?
The Ferrari F60 America has far fewer reported issues per year (0 complaints vs. 443.8 for the Accord), but this is partly due to its extremely low production numbers. In practice, the Ferrari's recalls are limited to two safety items, while the Accord's complaints span multiple systems, suggesting a higher likelihood of encountering problems with the Accord.
Key differences
- The Ferrari has zero owner complaints, while the Honda has thousands, but the Ferrari's sample size is tiny.
- The Honda's top problems are engine and electrical, with owners reporting noises, power loss, and wiring damage; the Ferrari's only issues are two recalls.
- The Honda has 160 crash-related complaints and 3 deaths, whereas the Ferrari has none reported.
- The Honda's forward collision avoidance system is a frequent source of complaints, with false alerts and system failures; the Ferrari has no such reports.
- Verify that both recalls (airbag inflator and brake system) have been completed, as these are the only known issues.
- Given the lack of complaints, check for any signs of deferred maintenance or hidden damage, as the car's rarity means parts and service may be costly.
- Listen for unusual engine noises and check for any warning lights, as engine and electrical issues are common.
- Test the forward collision avoidance system on a safe road to ensure it doesn't trigger false alerts, and inspect the wiring for rodent damage.
Before you buy
- For the Ferrari: confirm both recalls are performed and get a pre-purchase inspection from a Ferrari specialist.
- For the Honda: check the engine for unusual sounds and have a mechanic scan for stored trouble codes.
- For the Honda: test all driver-assistance features, including adaptive cruise control and lane keeping, to ensure they work properly.
- For the Honda: inspect the electrical system, especially wiring harnesses, for signs of rodent damage or corrosion.
- For both: review the vehicle's service history and check for any open recalls.
