This weekend I need to decide if I am going to buy a new F430 or not. The car is scheduled for Oct. this year but I need to get the final options list (including int. and ext. colors) by Monday morning.

It would be my first Ferrari (and I intend to keep my 911 as a daily driver), so I have many questions about it.
I do not intend to track this car.
Also I live in Eastern Europe, Romania, and roads are horrible around here compared to your standards (the roads are getting better though, each year).

But let's start simple (please respond with "why" not "just because"):
- F1 vs. manual?
- Ceramic brakes or steel?
- tire pressure monitor or not?
- flat tires?
- navigation&bluetooth? (looks horrible)
- electric seats?
- seat heating?
- race seats?
- bose? (I hate the look of that optional subwoofer; does bose looks better?)


BTW: how many airbags the F430 has? And the racing seats are removing any of the airbags?
How about the number of the standard speakers? Bose adds speakers?

Is the Red Corsa color a metallic one?
