Ferrari 488 Spider review 2018: Why bother with the coupe?

Alborz Fallah: When it comes down to it, if you happen to meet anyone that says the convertible 488 is a compromise, or that it’s not a real Ferrari, call them out for what they are - an idiot. Otherwise, if you want to daily a Ferrari, the Spider is the best way to go.

Great review. You seemed really enthusiastic which made this video much more enjoyable

[@tokamana]

Excellent review! at one point it looked like you were on a roller coaster. Thanks for sharing!

[@siquanwu3131]

Good review, Alborz, rare good review from caradvice nowadays.

[@WillProwse]

Good video man

[@Drifty325i]

Really enjoyed the review thanks, pretty well rounded supercar

[@SoulEternalPeaceWarrior77]

Great review Alborz....you gotta review the Pista next! Super curious to see how you feel it compares to the 488.

[@raihanrahman1113]

" WELL DONE !!! " , great review 👍

[@r.r.421]

Nice review...good job fellow country man

[@zakbradshaw6690]

I have to say this was a very good review!!! You and Sam are the best no doubt

[@samadrid6321]

A convertible cannot be a super car. Ooops, you're sick of hearing that, sorry. Just kidding, I'd never heard that bit of nonsense. Of course a convertible can be a super car, absolutely.

[@alexnimmo9836]

The comments about acceleration from 100-200km being irrelevant are oh so true. Just back to the UK from having driven the Great Ocean Road to Adelaide and just received an infringement notice from the SA police for having driven at 105 km in a 100km zone and fined $198. That's 2.5 miles/per hour over. Draconian or what? Anyway take care while driving in Aus. By the way enjoyed the video.

[@Aussie.Lassie]

I live in SA, and the cips are ridiculous here. They will do anything to ticket you; it's all about raising revenue.

[@Jbainssyd]

Well donee

[@stevefowler2112]

I bought a 2019 488 GTS new (it had been driven by the dealer GM for about 6 months and had 900 miles on it but had never been titled so I show as the first owner). It is a magnificent car and I love the open air rides here in Florida. My only real complaint is the cars should come with Michelin Cup2's and/or 21 inch wheels in the rear.

[@felixh97]

Why are sitting this close to the steering wheel. Looks weird

[@itsarisvlogs9879]

My guy you can’t spell

[@1stopwatch]

Great review , but.. I hate to say I’m not a fan of many reviews where the person is driving the car with limited perspectives of seeing the car itself! Is it just me ???!!! it would be nice to see the cars performance with some multiple shots of the car not the person doing most of the review with a close up of them driving in one fixed angle. "Show me the car!!" :-)

[@ziggyfreud5357]

A very nice vertible. I'll have mine in white please.

[@KVX21]

Ferrari still using timing belts?

[@coopsnz1]

Expensive beacause of $250,000 taxes

[@holycreation]

For this price u might be better off with the huracan performante

[@mixalis6168]

Lend me the car, and i will evaluate it's super car status :D

[@sourwords1808]

mixalis smashing into walls don't count.

[@60NXNP09]

mixalis me too lol

[@khamtp42]

dam sound good love it , I buy me one win lottery LOL

[@bennybpbj]

Providing “CarAdvice” to all 200 people who will buy a Ferrari this year in Australia.

[@manred6253]

Bestguy

[@depayanmondal]

don't you think it's a bit late to review the 488 spyder, i mean it came out quite a while now

[@sourwords1808]

Depayan Mondal welcome to Australia. Where everything comes after the fact.

[@edgarchieng2130]

Couldn’t agree more that this convertible looks better than the coupe, it just makes the car look sexier. The Huracan is a better looking coupe than the 488 coupe in my opinion.

[@marksummers463]

Dude like the video but don't need to hear the blasphemy. Thanks!

[@Drivecomau]

Thanks for the feedback

[@manred6253]

Guys please include imperial numbers. At least as text

[@oldmate6380]

no

[@manred6253]

Garrett Sloss I don't actually like imperial numbers, but I'm used to it

[@marfrandema1884]

A convertible ferrari cant be a supercar and thats it.

[@JamesKetchell1]

Marfran Dema so where does that leave the F50 🤔
