The Ferrari 488 Spider is without a doubt an amazing Italian supercar, with a 661hp Twin Turbo V8, excellent dual clutch and that all important Prancing Horse! My friend Huzefa's was over $340,000, but like his Aventador, is not perfect. Between Huzefa, myself and other owners, we compiled a list of the worst parts of the Ferrari 488 spider! Comment below which one of these complaints you think is the most stupid, and which is the most valid!

Huzefa had complaints with his Aventador, and now he has a couple things he doesn't like with the Ferrari 488 Spider! Comment below which one of these complaints you think is the most stupid, and which is the most valid!
The hood is the stupidest complaint... He shouldn't be working on it anyway.
That's not the hood for the engine. That's where the front trunk is! Car is mid engined. All the luggage storage space is in the front. And it's a pain to open.
@@mostly_normal_man 🤦♂️
The 458 comparison is the most stupid. Most car guys I talk to prefer the 458 to the 488. Having to jump it in a hole under the passenger dash is the most legit.
@EddieX not saying that any complaint is stupid but I'm sure he knew all of this before he decided to purchase vehicle. If it's that much of a "hate or dislike" y not spend the money on something you don't have any complaints about
Honestly I love when owners explain the hates or dislikes about any car. It’s the realism in the videos that bring the best content😀😀 Thank you both 👌
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Eddie stop cutting people in your video off...just a critique that I feel like you haven't really listened to in the past videos. Please just let people talk, or just have at least a small pause after someone finishes a sentence.
but its not an interview bro, their just friends talking
@@anguspontin7244 that's a good point! It's been my experience that you can greatly improve a conversation by letting people fully Express themselves and digest what they're saying when they speak. This could help an interview or a friendly conversation
@@Dkimbrough83 thats what an interview is
Atleast daddy didn't buy it for him. Dude actually went to school studied hard became a doc. And now he's enjoying his toys.

Since when was generational wealth a bad thing? I’ll never understand that concept

"But it's carbon fiber dude!"
The markup on carbon fiber from these auto makers is astronomical. At the scale they're manufacturing, it costs them barely more than regular fiberglass to fabricate.
Carbon Fiber is the new Diamond - pure marketing.
I absolutely hate those door handles it's one of the ugliest design aspects of that car
Agreed. They feel like an afterthought
It's nicer when it's camouflaged with the body colour, in this case it's black so it kind of stands out with makes it seem odd
100%, so funky looking
Seems like a kool dude, great video 👍🏼
Thanks!
Eddie you and Farshad are the kings of interrupting people. Couldnt get through the whole video.
Remember driving a Ferrari 488 on the racetrack for the first time. It was so magical everything said in this video cannot outweigh that feeling
These two are actually quite comical together. Great video, Ed.
Edit: These guys are HILARIOUS together. I love it!
Parking it among most public spots could be a nightmare. It will definitely attract everyone.
Especially if red
9:29 Love how he made the subtle rice joke to shut his smart mouth lol
252laylow Asian dude spelled r a i c e
So the ferrari dude still looks dumb cause Asian dude didn't even spell rice .
Really great video. Keep up the fantastic work.
Thanks!!
By the way, the front lid of a 488 is made of aluminium and is easily dented when closing it. The correct way is to use the palm of your hand over the central latch. If you press elsewhere and especially if you create a pressure hot spot with your fingers, you risk denting the lid.
Amazing how things stay the same with Ferrari. My F430 has some of those things but it does bother me:
1. Hood/front - it is a little difficult to reach in get the latch.
2. Door handle is higher on F430. No issues
3. Same flimsy visors. Ferrari saving weight.
4. Ferrari styling is fine. Never liked Lambo.
True about how the models and cars are pumped out now with Ferrari.
Eddie, I have to be honest; I agree with your friend, it’s Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Porsche. I know a lot of people love McLaren, but if it’s my money, it’s one other the other three.
Great video, I enjoyed the different perspective.
dinonoce
Exactly ! Mclaren is fast but poor customer care and build quality.
for 100.000$ he s wrong but its 340.000$ , they need to fix all of the shit on that price
Ferrari, Lamborghini and Porsche ! That’s right the “big three”. Glad you’re not considering a Mclaren. They are fast but total junk ! Congratulations and the car looks great 👍 I think it was a better choice than my coupe.
this asian dude keeps interrupting
Hey bro if you don't want your car I'd be glad to take it of your hands
I'm sure for the right number of dollars that can be arranged haha
I own the 2019 version of that car, I ordered brand new and it took two years to arrive.
Okay I agree with you on the jumping of the car in the passenger foot well is a poor design. And that maybe they should have had jump terminals from the engine bay if they were going to put the battery there.
Lamborghini cannot compare to a Ferrari as far as exclusivity and overall brand recognition they have diluted the brand so much. The fact that Ferrari is a race car company first and a car company second is why you have all these little idiosyncrasies.
I personally love my 488 Spider over my 720s. I love the fact that if I take it out of race mode and put it in sport mode I can have a phone call without having the engine exhaust overwhelming the conversation.
I've had my SF-90 order for at least 7 months now before they were even taking deposits. Meaning Ferrari corporate I still had my deposit with the actual dealer to make sure I did not lose my place at that dealer. Which landed me a very low allocation number for my new car.
I almost feel like you have to beg to get what you want from Ferrari but again they're a race car company first not a car company like Kia that makes cars for the masses. The hood could pop up more on my 488 I would agree but the door handles are really weak argument. The fact that Lamborghini raced 2 years in formula 1 and almost went bankrupt makes them a weak brand to me and I would never buy one even though I've personally owned one for all of 90 days and got rid of it because I hated that the windscreen was so low that could barely see into the turn. You obviously don't race your car. Just my thoughts on the matter.
Thanks for your perspective, Im a lambo fan but Ferrari does got that special sauce
Ferrari is nowhere near as exclusive as Lamborghini, at least when it comes to how rare they are,
in 2014 Lamborghini had sold 30,000 cars and sold 14,000 cars from 2014 to 2019
By 2018 Ferrari had sold 208,931 cars.
So there’s some 45,000 Lamborghinis and over 200,000 Ferrari’s in the world.
Those Ferrari’s don’t sound all that exclusive to me
@@Aron-ru5zk where do you get your fact little boy!? They just broke the 10k mark... WOW # FAKE NEWS

Demetrios Limbas do you know what “annual sales” means little boy? I was talking about sales in total, idiot.
Hey look a rare species. It’s called a guy on his high horse hahah
I expected some fuel economy complaints after that Aventador video 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 Good point.
Im So Excited That He’s Close To 100k Subs
Working on it! Thanks for the support!
This is wild hearing bro complain about not being able to get a discount. It’s a Ferrari, man.
next video: visor swap with jeep grand cherokee
Haha we should do that
All valid complaints to me. This would be something I'd drive maybe a few times a week, otherwise give me a Crown Vic for a daily over this thing.
YouSoundButtHurt honestly, aside from worrying about getting dinged in the parking lot. You can easily daily this
Great content. Thanks for sharing mr Eddie. Hope you get to 100k subs soon
Eddie called him a Stupid Ferrari owner lol 2:59
Hes quotting what people say in the comments
I think you need to bring up the point of Lambo's sticker prices. A high option Gallardo was 280 a high option 458 was 350. F12 has taken a beating compared to Aventador and they have nearly the same sticker prices.
Just goes to show that people can have the luxuries of life and still complain. Happiness is within.
Worst thing about owning that car if you live in CT. The annual property taxes. :o/ Already well over $1K for my GT350 each year. I can't imagine this car. But hey, if you can afford it, why not!
Gosh that sounds horrible. Our registration fees here are insane.
the worst part of owning a 488 spider... Not owning One ;(
If you own a 488 how do you not own one
Great video EddieX! Really nice car !! 🍷
Thanks!!
How do you make enough money as a dentist to be able to afford a $340k car
Get an education,work hard, treat people well. Glad to see he has done well enough to afford cars like this. I would rather see a dentist own this car rather than some of the 20 somethings I watch on most videos. I have no idea how they afford the cars they own. (I still enjoy watching them, I just can’t figure our how they afford them)
Might be a cosmetic dentist
I agree the door handles aren’t great though they do supposedly channel air into the side vents. That said, ticking every carbon fibre option doesn’t help, adds massively to the cost which you don’t see back at sale time. As for jump starting the car, I’ve had Ferrari’s for 25 years and never needed to jump start them. The battery is there for a reason, weight distribution and of course, packaging.
Yo I was actually looking at that Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrofoglia in the Background , it’s an amazing SUV.
The title should be called buyer's remorse after purchasing an overpriced Italian car
Hahah I found it to be very fair complaints actually
Not really lol
I know you’re doing anonymous hot take here... but once you drive one, you wouldn’t say that. They’re wonderful machines with incredible speed, braking and handling and they are easy to daily.
Overpriced? When you have money..... you say FK the price... it's not remorse, just tweeks.
Let's see...uneven panel gaps, hood latch that could fly open at speed unlike that of a C8 corvette that opens in the opposite direction, manitino switches that literally break off when new that require new steering wheel assembly, seats that rot in a few years, batteries that die every day every where.
The C8 hood opens the same direction??
To be fair Pininfarina no longer designs ferrari so that might be the reason for the not as good designs
I love this car.... But I prefer the 488 Spider convertible 2017, black.
This is a convertible 🤦🏾♂️
This car is incredible. spent some time with one a week ago, the doors feel G-wagon good to open and close. No complaints for me. Don't recall the frunk being hard to open on my model either. And Ferrari isn't design lazy, they like to look sculpted. Which is why the pista uses an S duct and fancy air tricks for the rear wing, instead of a giant dinner plate splitter and a golden gate bridge sticking 6 feet tall on the back of the car. I prefer this smooth look. Lambo likes to use the big wings and lots of angles in the design which it sounds like you prefer, Ferrari likes a rounded design. I'm not a die-hard ferrari guy either, I like Camaros and stuff but i'd never complain about the things that make a car what it is. It's an incredible machine and worth what you pay. If you prefer lambo, get lambo.
no hate tho!
Most annoying thing about having a nice car is nimrods trying to touch it when it is parked
I like the Berlinetta and the 812 Super Fast.. beautiful cars. I guess Ferrari engineers focus more on mechanical engineering of the reciprocating internal combustion engine rather than cosmetics and interior. But still I understand the nit-picking when you are spending that much money a vehicle.
The worst part is I don't have one 😁
As a car owner of the 488 the only bs is the jumping under the hood
He should drive a Mclaren. All Mclaren owners are created from having issues with Lamborghini products and issues with Ferrari products.
With the issues I've seen some of my fellow exotic car owners have had with McLaren, I'm glad that my passion is with Ferrari. Take my 488 Spider. 40k km on it and at least 10k is track. I have had one issue which is a loose heat shield - that's it. Have had more Porsche issues than Ferrari issues.
Ferrari will never negotiate price on new cars. It is their Corp policy. No matter how much money you have or who you are.
As he said McLaren and Lambo will do ~10%
Id hate the $340K price tag!!! Oh and in CA $4.69 A GALLON GAS..over $5 bucks in LA..
I think the $1,200 Ferrari horse stitching on the seats are worst additional fees.
Why did you buy it?
Only thing I hate about the Ferrari 488 Spider is the fact that I'm not owning one and being a regular mortal human
Intro has Lex Luger vibes. 🔥
I can’t wait to have these problems
To think that I could have bought one of these used with my inheritance. Except that I'm 71 years old with bad hips and I couldn't get into one or anything quite as low. But the hot water heater died, as did the washer and dryer, the front porch started to rot and the roof started to leak. So I got an F150 for me and a Pathfinder for my daughter and her 3 kids.
Thrift, thrift, Horatio
Besides, where the heck am I going to drive one of the "big three " in New Jersey?🤔
Cool car but some technical design is hard for emergencies use for the owner
Is it that it costs 160k now in 2024 ?
Oh the travesty of having fat fingers, lol
I absolutely agree. The attention to overall quality & user-ability is lacking
And your personal experience is what?
The reason the door handles are like that is because they direct the air flow to the rear vents as you see. I am a Ferrari engineer and I’m watching this so I can give ideas but the handles aren’t changing so sorry! 😐
I watched this thinking it would make me feel better by not having a Ferrari, It failed i still want one.
Heh
I’m always amused when folks get upset at door handles. So... does anyone remember the door handles on the 308 to 328 series?
They aren’t designed for rough and tumble “need to force things cuz I’m a man grunt grunt” type of handles.
If you’re rough with things? Then you break everything with which you’re rough...
You never jumpstart a ferrari
For one thing, you NEVER jump start a Ferrari. You risk catastrophic electrical damage.
No you don't. There's an entire piece in the owners manual about how you do it.
If he would let the owner talk….
Did he actually order the car with those color of brake calipers? Looks odd.. like the black rims though
670 hp not 600
Fyi, it's not a trickle charger it's a battery conditioner...and I assure you it really isn't rocket science to jump a 488; on the contrary it is extremely easy to place jumper cables on to the battery terminals in the passenger footwell. Oh sorry I see he is a Michigan Engineering College grad, I guess that explains why he is intimidated by jumping a car and doesn't know the difference between a trickle charger and a batter conditioner (a Ph.D. Aerospace Engineer with a large American defense contractor.
Hahahahaha
15:40 the zaza 😂😂
the worst are the rocks on your floor carpet
His IG isn't available. What happened?
@dentite313
Let the man talk
Do you have any cars and coffees plans coming up? I drive a lowly C7 A6 but I’d let meet more Audi enthusiast in Michigan.
So you spend all this money and don't look at all of this b4 u drive off the lot
It's just another new-money youtube kid with no clue.
488GTB looks better than F8 a lots
Cease and desist letter incoming lol
Poor baby. His 488 isn't "exclusive" enough for him. SMH
These are valid points
Complains about it looking like a 458 but if you look at the lineage of Ferrari mid engined v8 sports cars it's usually an evolution then a revolution on design disregarding the f8 tributo, that's another evolution.
Wow I decided to remove this car from my short list then
Now I have only Kia Forte and Honda Civic left
Hahahaha
Chincy means weight saver. Its all good bro 👍🏾
I wonder which he prefers more - 488 GTB or Aventador?
If he is a driving enthusiast and not all about looking kool, that choice is easy. That choice would be the 488. The Aventador feels as old and slow as it is.
Man these are the problems I wish I had
Then work for it
love the spec!
_When you can't tell the difference between 458 and 488 lol_
Because they are basically identical builds, a 488 is a 458 with slightly modified body panel and engine. And the guy that made the original video is an idiot, he looks at a supercar like it's a daily driver sedan
Surprised he didn’t bring up the quality of the speakers - they’re terrible
In standard form yes. The upgraded system is decent.
Tbh I like the 458 much more
You guys cruising Woodward??
Guess #1: Every C8 Corvette will humiliate this in a few short months, forever.
Bob Smith and it’s a Chevy
I dont think that's remotely a concern for most 488 owners.
Ferrari >>>>>>>>>>> Chevy
The C8 is cool but Ferrari is and will always be the pinnacle of Exotic Supercars.
Bob Smith Are you an automotive engineer Bob ?
all carbon options very nice
ugh i just hate my ferrari 488 spider and my lambogorhini aventador. 😩
well, they figured those who waist that much for a car don mind to be effed so they eff you more with cheap flimsy parts, I don blame them ... lol
I own F488 2019 , There few things that annoys me too about it . But the whole car still great compared to Lamborghini. My opinion
The whole car is better than the company wow
Isnt he the one that owns the lambo and now a 488? Now looking back at it, he bashed the fuck out of the range over being too much. XD
lmao buying 340k car to drive on the street uncomfortably, Enzo Ferrari was a genius to use stupid rich people to fund his racing team, if you're not driving the car hard on the track or mountain road you're not even experiencing it, that's why he's complaining about annoying stuff when this car isn't meant for normal use
i never mind if doors not open onley with a hammer
He keep comparing to the aventador , the v12 and v8 don't compare . Maybe he should get the 812 ??
It's because his previous car was the Aventador
EddieX oooh okay , I think the 812 he'll love such a beautiful beast
Why did you buy it then 🙄
This is why we need socialized medicine. 39 something dentist buying a 350k car. What a joke. And I’m a republican!
This car is ART
Cruising Woodward and Hunter I see
