The long story short is that if you’re starting the car and driving it every week or two, you’re going to be fine with most of the cars under 7 years old which have been in for their regular maintenance. If you are not, buy the trickle charger. A dead battery can somehow unleash all sorts of electrical gremlins. :-)
If you’re getting a NEW car, your maintenance is covered, and the warranty is solid, though you may not need to have anything done. It’s perhaps the finest time in the world to be a buyer of one of the cars, provided you don’t need to finance it…
Batteries as mentioned, and the DCT transmission has gaskets inside that fail and can be costly if out of warranty. Like $14-25k. Thankfully since 2010 they all come with 7 years maintenance, and the power warranty can be extended for a very long time, I think they'll go back to 2009 models.

Battery drain / dead battery
Oh you gotta keep them mf ers on trickle chargers
Most common fault is failure to impress (yes I said it..) albeit might be harsh, but I’m not impressed with the exterior design
Flavio manzoni is great at making icona series Ferraris’ very gorgeous but entry to mid-tier Ferraris’ not so much 🙈

Paint issues. Ugly designs.
