A year ago, I test drove this car. The one I tested was dark blue with a tan/black duo-tone interior. The exterior styling is definitely a benchmark in automobile design. The interior is nothing less. The Italian leather seats offer you premium comfort and support, and the dash has more leather and carbon fiber. But, enough of that. Let's talk about the fun stuff. The 458 Spider has 562 horses under the hood, and they roar every time you put the hammer down. The handling is sublime. The Pirelli tyres hug the road, and make turning into the bends easier and more exhilarating. I think that sums it up nicely.

As the new Ferrari 488 has started to arrive in the US this year (2016), the prices of the previous model has dropped to a level where it is more accessible. Frankly, you get a naturally aspirated (non turbo) 4.5 liter V8 with over 569 HP in the base version that will propel you from 0-62mph in about 3.3 seconds (a bit faster in the Speciale version that will get done to 3.0 seconds). It is aslo a great everyday driver with a dual clutch 7-speed gearbox that has virtually zero power loss between the gearing. Overall a very fun car, and a great improvement over my older F430 Spider..

This car is an amazing car. It is so beautiful and is very fast. It is so comfortable and nice. Even though it is expensive, you should still buy it.
