I've personally rented a 458 spyder out in the UAE twice, driving for 2-3 days each time and I find the car brilliant. The craftsmanship, the leather, the exhaust note and the driving experience in general are more than great! None of the things Parker points out bothered me. I think that out of all the supercars I have owned and driven I would place the 458 Spyder in the top 3 easily.

@stealth1384 2 года назад

This is a very old comment. But, I wanted to ask, how much did it cost you to rent the car? I’m in the UAE too.

@TheBear88881 2 года назад

@@stealth1384 No problem. As long as I can remember it was in the neighborhood of $2400 for 3 days. The longer you rent the car, the better daily rate you get.

I've had them both and I prefer column mounted shifter paddles to the steering wheel mounted paddles. If you shuffle steer paddle shifters aren't good. Also, you should't be shifting gears while being hand-over-hand deep in a turn in the first place.

that's (the only reason) why the 458 (italia) would not be my first choice. here in 2023, my first choice would be a manual 992 GT3. i'd even roll with a manual C5 or C7 Z06 (as a daily) before the 458. that being said, the 458 italia is the sexiest car ever built. i've never owned an automatic, so... i'm very much locked into manual transmissions.

1. that is how a car throttle pedal is SUPPOSED to work (not as you described with an amount of freeplay slack) 2. your hands are too BIG 3. many cars don't have a centrally operated Horn because of airbags, Ferrari speedos have always been traditionally smaller than the tacho gauge 4. the extra weight and less structual rigidity cannot be felt, Spider (retractable roof) cars have ALWAYS had the engine hidden traditionally 5. The price of exotic car ownership, most "real" owners actually love this about their cars.

@yadidimeanmaine 7 лет назад

I HATE paddles that are mounted to the wheel. Just imagine if an old column mounted manual shifter MOVED with the wheel! I want my shifter to be in the same place for muscle memory consistency, period. If you're down shifting your wheel should be mostly straight, and if you're up shifting then using your left hand only on the wheel turning while reaching for an upshift with your right hand should be second nature for anyone who's used to a left-hand drive manual car...

@GenuineGents 6 лет назад

But wait, little confused about point #2. I raced one of these at ExoticsRacing on the track. I didn't notice the paddle problem being mounted on the column, because aren't you not supposed to shift in a turn that dramatic anyway??

@Bobmcjoepants 7 лет назад

Forever will I say the horn should be right in the middle of the wheel, so if you need to you can slam your hand on it. As writing this, I can say that earlier I had to and I am glad it was there. You can say in an emergency situation you could remember its not there, however, the amount of time you would drive this car is far far too little than the amount of times you'd need that horn. Along with that, the time it would take to then move your thumbs to the horn is a precious second or two you need to safely stop, if possible. Safety equipment used in emergency situations should NEVER be replaced with something to replicate a race car.

@2amProFilms 6 лет назад

Reason why the paddles are on the column and no the wheel is because anytime you go into a turn you supposed to have all shifting done before the turn so if you shifting in the middle of the turn like you explained then you're doing it wrong and should probably get a Prius instead!

@Iffy50 7 лет назад

I drove the 458 at Exotics Racing in vegas and I didn't have any trouble shifting with the paddles fixed to the column. I have a Subaru Legacy and I get confused with the paddles when I'm turning. (my hands don't stay on the wheel in sharper turns).

@georgebland9931 4 года назад

It’s kind of funny. I have an Aprilia Motorcycle. And they decided to put the horn button in a non standard place on that one too. It’s literally dangerous. Well... it was. I replaced the whole left hand switch assembly with a standard switch assembly so I now have my horn situated where my thumb automatically reaches for it... like on all of my other motorcycles! I don’t claim to be smarter than them BUT.....

Horn in center of wheel for safety? It's not Ferraris responsibility to cater to our habits. Having the horn where your hands should be (and not having to take them off the wheel at all), is safer than having to take a hand off the wheel to honk.

Actually the paddles are mounted to the column for a reason. It's so a downshift isn't mistaken for an upshift and vice versa....Just saying. No I'm not just another troll posting here, I have actually raced 360 Challenge cars.

@Depreciating_Daily 7 лет назад

The whole selling point of mid engine Ferraris is that they're race cars for the street. Some compromises are going to be made. And the paddle shifters should ALWAYS be on the column.
