    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.

    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.

  • @austinmurphy3690

    1. It accelerates too quickly.
    2. The paddles are "too small" or something.
    3. The horn should be in the center of steering wheel.
    4. If you're legally blind you can't see the speedo.
    5. Its options are over priced.
    Sounds like you made this shit up for the sake of making this video. I doubt any of that stuff actually bothered you while driving. It's some pretty petty stuff.

    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.

    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...

    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!

    I have a 458 and you can set your speedometer on the right screen fairly large. You don’t have the right setting on.

    I have a Honda prelude and the horn is not in the Center but has 2 smaller buttons to the left and the right and yes it can definitely be a problem in an emergency situation.

    1999 Honda Civic horn the same. I hate small cars and have little experience in sports cars but hope they have almost as much driver room as full size sedans.

    Paddles mounted on the steering column is where they should be. 90% of enthusiasts will agree.

    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.

    2nd. At speed (as you are reffering to) there is no way that you have to turn your wheel more then 90°. The pedals are easily long enough.

  • @graham289
    @graham289 7 лет назад +1

    First off, if you were a car guy, u would know that you don't shift on turns. That's why the paddles are fixed to the steering column

      Graham 525 if your a car guy you drive a 6 speed manual.....
      I understand that they do the auto trans because if they did a manual the clutch would be heavy but they need to make manuals an option for real drivers...

  • @techmaster777
    @techmaster777 7 лет назад +1

    Range Rovers have the horn on the sides of the steering wheel as vertical metal bars, and is also not in the middle.

  • @Jabber-ig3iw
    @Jabber-ig3iw 7 лет назад

    2 and 3 are non issues, why would you be changing gear mid corner? Paddles fixed to to column is the correct position, they are extended so you can change gear on a gentle curve but on a tight lock corner you really shouldn’t be changing gear, it unsettles the car. You should be in the correct gear for the corner before you get to it.
    As for the horn, if it’s an emergency then take avoiding action rather than worrying about the horn, other than if someone is reversing into you, why is the horn needed? Plenty of cars have the horn in places other than the centre of the steering wheel

  • @element7us
    @element7us 6 лет назад

    Not trying to bash on this guy but having experience with a 458 I disagree with most of what he said. First the throttle response issues he claims, who wouldn’t want a sharp throttle response in a Ferrari? That can be corrected by simply rolling on the throttle instead of “chopping” it. Second the paddle shifters anyone who knows how to properly drive a car like this knows that you should never shift in a turn thats why Ferrari places them fixed in the steering column. Third the horn at ten and two, again proper hand position should be 8-3 completely out of the way. The speedo can be enlarged on the screen but this is just my two sense

  • @tysanborn554
    @tysanborn554 7 лет назад

    Where does it infer that this is an April Fools joke (as so many people are commenting?)... Am I missing something? All he's doing is pointing out 5 (very) minor gripes about an epic car (which he clearly states)... They're all valid annoyances, and I'm sure he'd be the first to admit that the 458 is a car anyone would be THRILLED to own!
    Keep up the good work VV's!

  • @georgebland9931
    @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.....

    @miscetc-tm2yt 7 месяцев назад

    The paddles are column mounted almost primarily because you're not supposed to be shifting mid-turn. That's a bad driving habit as it can upset the car.

  • @georges2904
    @georges2904 7 лет назад

    About speedometer display you are wrong when you said it's not visible because reading is too small we can select speed display wether on left and right taking the whole screen and becomes very visible then

  • @cocobass
    @cocobass 6 лет назад

    Well, I get your points. Ferrari imports their racing legacy into the cars sold to consumers, so yes, the tach is front and center, the throttle is sensitive, the horn is out of the way, ever seen an F1 car with a glass cowl over the engine? You get my point.
