You were definitely the kid that complained when you lost in T-Ball and they had to start giving out second place trophies.

[@LKESBO]

Can't agree more

[@Reisss29]

Facts 😂

[@jhardworkpaysoff474]

The 458 is still my dream car

[@JewCrew420]

JAontheway 07 eh the 488 is better

[@bobetterknow]

Tom Poopstain Looks and sounds way worse than the 458. If I had to choose between the 458 Speciale Aperta or the 488 GTB Spider it would be the Speciale for me..

[@aPadilla14]

Idk how anyone can say the 488 isn't beautiful, come on. Way worse looking is such a gross exaggeration.

[@guitarplayer3062]

Totally agree, Tom Poopstain. love for the 488

[@Endidixknsej]

methguy21 / better on paper. Worse on Tarmac

[@krm.exotics5274]

you say every car you've driven is the best

No he doesn't dude. He said that about the Aventador, the Ford GT, and this 458.

[@davidcatanzaro8838]

+StrangeClouds Crap! I forgot to specify. I meant the 2006 GT, not the 2017.

[@irfank20a29]

1 More thing i hate about the Ferarri 458 Spyder. I cant afford it. * weeps in datsun 120Y *

[@DFWsCars]

Irfan Comot probably the biggest one. Better than "it's too fast"

[@1fires1]

Least the datsun will be on the road for longer and not at the mechanics getting fixed all the time.

[@porschecollector727]

My first car was a datsun. Visualize your dream and go for it! Work hard, don't give up!

[@irfank20a29]

UPDATE! Bought a new car... Spend majority of savings on it. Still cant afford the 458. * weeps in Integra DC5 *

[@imdr911]

LOL... i had a datsun 280 zx in high school. I now have multiple exotics and muscle cars. One being the 458. I figured you only go around once in life, so i became a doc. and made one very smart investment on top of it. You can go from Datsun to whatever your heart desires. It's how bad do you really want it?!

[@TheBear88881]

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]

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]

@@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.

[@stealth1384]

[@prathamkamath8280]

If you don't mind can you tell us what the top 3 supercars you have ever driven are

[@XxXGutierrez]

Actually pro racers do not shift gears while turning

[@jimmythefish]

Yeah you shouldn't be shifting if you're turning the wheel far enough to be off the paddles.

[@kyleash3614]

[@JamesBrodski]

Can't afford one and too expensive is the same thing dude

[@trihardcx6743]

It's not too expensive though.

[@yaldaboth1889]

Derryl Ang Kai Jun 😂

[@TonyStone3000]

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.

[@MajorB27]

You're going to need a bigger lemonade stand for this thing.

[@mattmcgraw6347]

Hold the Back/View button for the big speedo (3rd button on the right set of infotainment controls). It changes the entire right screen to a huge speedo

[@agentbb007]

I love having the paddles on the column. It would bug me if they moved around as I turned the wheel.

[@mrpmj00]

something huge that's fun is missing at any price: a clutch pedal and the seven-speed manual transmission that goes along with it.

[@toddinthemiddle]

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.

[@atthelord]

why didn't you touch upon the reason that it doesn't have a backup camera and that it doesn't have parking sensors like wtf bro

[@Shepard_AU]

Caraholic King No camera is what surprises me, you'd think the screen for it would be in the rear view mirror like the Veyron.

[@Amazingeverything99]

Gmanmovies09 there is a camera in the later models but not in the earlier ones like this car and for a car like this i totally love this thing but there should be sensors atleast

[@DannysGarage]

Meh, a sports car doesn't need any of that. Less gadgets = lighter weight = faster.

[@jimmygrant3212]

Caraholic King you don't need them mainly made for people that are too lazy to look back

[@Amazingeverything99]

Jimmy Grant yes thats right but having them will give a nice feeling no ?

[@elliottwalsh94]

Hey Parker what cars would you recommend between the 40-50k range? Sports cars, coupes, and sedans all included.

[@owenbeekman2247]

The Ferrari f430 has the horn on the actual wheel

[@FrenchGrinchOG]

Beekon same with older civics

[@LETHALF90]

Engaboat wait what do you guys mean?

[@kuugeli]

Most Nissans have it in the wheel too.

[@porschecollector727]

if it wouldn't be for the engine out service required for f430, that is the best NA V8 Ferrari has made

[@MarkScott1]

So does the 458, FF, F12 etc.

[@GenuineGents]

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??

[@U2GuitarTutorials]

He's right on #2 for sure. You can get replacement paddles that are longer (go down further) for more coverage.

[@Arcken71]

You dont shift mid-curve!

[@AlastorTheNPDemon]

The horn on the Countach is located on the turn signal stock, or at least what looks like a turn signal stock.

[@Mexxx65]

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.

[@JediSoulfly]

I learned to drive in a 1983 Ford LTD wagon. The horn was located on the turn signal stalk. You pushed the stalk in towards the column.

[@IWRITEMUSICCHANNEL]

Dude, you keep it real interesting 🤣

[@yadidimeanmaine]

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...

[@Iffy50]

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).

[@stephan97]

It should have a heads up display with a speedometer so you don't have to look away from what you're focused on

[@templumofmu]

Thank you I was just about to buy the 458

[@luisgerardogonzalezgutierr7852]

Hey Parker, Im loving the videos, really great and explicative reviews, let the haters hate keep up and let your work shut their mouth. Cheer from México! BTW i wouldn´t mind at all have all the issues that you describe in that ferrari LOL!

The speedometer can be on the right and in very large font. You just had it programmed differently.

[@Stratocasterhead51]

It is nothing short of a crime that such a magnificent road car has only 1400 miles.

[@toddinthemiddle]

that's a tiny amount of mileage. not even close to 10 miles a week.

[@aziz-qp7pm]

Very good video parker!

[@michaelmadsen2268]

would u say the double clutch transmission on porsches and mclarens is better, worst or equivalent?

[@Frank-Ding]

Is this an April Fools joke? Cuz everybody knows column mounted is the only correct placement for paddle shifters.

[@thomasmcgillivray3997]

All is he was saying is that the shifters could have been better & more conveniently placed?

[@thomasmcgillivray3997]

Panda....have you driven it?

[@stellacd]

Why tf do all y'all have the same picture

[@carlyndolphin]

Great video. Do you prefer the Huracan or the 458?

[@colinwhite2953]

My brothers Saturn SL2 has the horns mounted at 5 and 7 does that make it equivalent to a 458?

[@alexedwardexternon9428]

hey parker! :) been a loyal subscriber since 2010

[@VehicleVirgins]

+Alex Edward Externon thanks so much Alex!

[@rboddington]

Porsche puts the shifter paddles on the steering wheel, they move with the wheel. Why Ferrari has never done this, boggles the mind.

[@Marc1973Dez]

Nice....I agree with everything you said , except that I actually prefer the paddle shifts on the column stem!!!

[@m.yz50]

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.

[@jsn593]

The engine start button isn't also a stop button 488 fixes that though :)

[@RobinsM]

3. You can change the speedometer to take up the full screen in large letters.

[@waledabdal8231]

The BMW you drove yesterday was funny. At the ucm meet 😅.

[@Steve711]

[@rbreeze789]

Stephen Frederick no shit? i have a third gen camaro aswell.. same year as well exept i got the RS which is 3.1L v6. its a head turner for sure you dont see them around at all

[@iphoie]

Dunno if someone has already mentioned, but you can get a huge speedometer to show up on the right screen. U just gotta know how to do it.

[@joshxkerrigan]

My Range Rover Sport has two long vertical buttons to honk the horn, definitely took some getting used to when I first bought it.

[@antrobiuscole5538]

hey parker! we're those clips of it driving in the empty lot at the old ford plant in wixom?

[@K1z2a3m4a5]

#3 - a 1998 Ford Falcon we used to own had its horn on both sides of the steering wheel. APparently to get out of the way for the airbag

[@SmeekPeek]

My Exige actually have the same horn potition 😂

[@poeto93]

Parker, I havent even started this video and it better be an april fools joke

[@poeto93]

wait... I agree about the throttle it is too much lol

[@mfmf100]

Nice - at least a couple of those gripes addressed by opting for the coupe.

[@olaniyi570]

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.

[@msing400]

Really? I own a 458 and none of these are issues if you know how to drive and have a brain to adapt.

Ok boomer

[@jettyroy]

Nice video!

[@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. FERRARI FTW!

[@joeyhibbard8186]

#5, IT IS A FERRARI!!! WHAT WOULD YOU EXPECT FOR THE 458 TO BE $25000

[@joeyhibbard8186]

directed at Parker not +Austin Murphy

[@vulknir2539]

That's not what he said, talk about changing words to fit your opinion.

[@desiredfilm1071]

All of those reasons are enough for me to not want a Ferrari.

[@John_Alcier]

Brush it is okay if the horn is in the corner of the steering wheel still pretty unique

[@enlightenedrenegade472]

Parker, I can think of another car that has a horn that isn't mounted in the center of the wheel. 1990 Miata. They had little buttons on the side.

[@superdwarf]

My 95 Dodge Ram has horn buttons towards the sides of the wheel where you hold it. Not the center.

reply without even watching the vid: HOW CAN YOU HATE THE 458 #$%#!!!! EDIT: lol you got me i thought you were serious. Wait.. after the first point i thought this was an april fools thing. Now i'm confused...

[@2amProFilms]

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!

[@sdb87149]

4) Capristo sells a glass engine cover for the spider. Although I agree it should've been like that to start with

[@brycerogers3637]

Parker, the Land Rover discovery 2 has its horn buttons located at 9&3 on the spoke, then the LR3/4 have two thin bars located on each side of the airbags, by the way could you review the new velar or the newest LR4

[@georges2904]

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

[@BryanCasella]

Yeah that throttle response problem is the same with a tuned GTR lol. Jerks around a lot. I don't mind it though.

[@dudeitsroman]

Glad to see you here aswell as in our training groups when we script practice!!

[@hassaana4647]

My uncles Citroen Berlingo has the horn on the turn signal stock.

[@_iggnat_9883]

the horn on the dacia logan is located on the left lever :))))))

[@LS1OfAKind32]

If you're driving hard, and you're turning, you're supposed to be in the gear you're supposed to prior to the turn anyway. My 02 Kia Spectra also have the horns located on buttons and not the center of the wheels.

[@SiddhantChandan]

Work through the settings, there's a way to get a large digital Speedo.

[@YankeesFanForLife27]

A lot of cars have the horn mounted other than the center....I own a 1st gen Miata and there are buttons for the horn next to the air the air bag

[@billyburnett2638]

I have actually seen two people put custom glass covers over the engine on their 458 to see the engine !

[@Bobmcjoepants]

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.

[@martincorneli1927]

The Pagani Huayra has the horn in the sides of the steering wheel as well.

[@Aromeo24]

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.

[@georgebland9931]

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.....

[@davidbest1]

The Lamborghini that he drives has the paddles on the steering column

[@Bazchu1]

Hold the Back/View button and you get a large digital speedo on the right hand side screen
