    Would like to hear from 488 drivers about their mileage. Are you driving your 488? And how is the turbo engine holding up after putting on some decent mileage?

    Mine is at 3000 miles after a year and no complaints about the way the car runs.

    It's a 2018, delivered 17 months ago, driven 9,600 miles, the car is fine other than one battery replacement. Have done two 2400 mile round trips (90% highway) without any problems. Still looks and feels "new."

    Last year (June 2018), at the first northbound I-95 rest stop in Virginia, I chatted with a guy driving a red 488 who had 33,000 miles on the car. He claimed it was the highest mileage 488 in the country and also stated that he tracks the car regularly. Car sounded good when he merged back onto the interstate. My take: the 488 is not as fragile as some might fear over the long haul.

    I've got 757 miles and it pulls just like it did when it was driven off the showroom floor.

    Driven 16.000kms since Jan 2018 - last three days 2000km fun trip - superb car in every aspect. Tracked it once, not a single issue...

    Are you using the battery tender? Glad to see your car being enjoyed!

    I use the battery tender 100% of the time. So far, no battery or electrical problems whatsoever.

    1 week shy of a year, I have approximately 7,000 miles on my 2018 GTB. If not for excessive prohibitive weather and chronically shoddy roads, would be a lot more. As far as the engine is concerned, it just keeps on singing and amazes every time I drive her.
