Thought I would chime in since I have owned a 458 for 4 years now and added a HP a few months ago. Having only done 700km in the HP to date , I...
Hey @dann0, I’ll give you my 2 cents worth being in Aus and owning a 458, I watch the market closely. Haven’t had much time behind the wheel of...
@Coincid , I see we look for the same thing in a car. Big fan of the look of the pista. While the F8 and Pista might be very similar in...
why do you need thousands of miles in a car to have an opinion and thought on a car? As long as you have driven the car once for a few miles that...
Thank you Sir. Different cars do things for different people. Not everyone is looking for the same experience. Wouldn’t it be boring if everyone...
As someone who has owned a 458 for 4 years now and a HP for 1 week I agree with everything you said. I test drove the 488 on track when it was...
Was in a similar situation recently. Have had a 458 for 4 years now. Absolutely love it. Drove the 488 when it was released and it did nothing for...
I think the 458 is reasonably comfortable and can be a daily driver. Tech wise, who cares if it’s dated. You don’t buy a 458 for the tech or the...

Beautiful looking car. Congratulations.
Yes I do like that quote. Problem is I was looking to be a pro athlete who also owns the team. Kind of like Michael Jordan in his prime while...
There is a significant wait time to get one yes. But not sure how easy it is to move one. A few on the market now that have been sitting for a...
Some really good points being made. The 812 is really fast and its speed is effortless. And I am probably looking for more of an event like...
Thank you everyone for your input. It’s been very helpful. I think maybe what I was looking at the whole thing wrong. The 812 is a brilliant car....
Thank you for your feedback @gzachary . Definitely helps put things in perspective. And that’s the thing, I don’t think you should have to look...
So its the morning after the test drive. 45min run in Sydney though did find a few decent stretches of road to open her up. Verdict: Extremely...
Thank you @gzachary . Definitely helps hearing other people’s opinion on the two cars. Like you said the 458 is such a great car which is why...
