    Any reason for it in particular? Sounds like you were quite attached to it?

    Hi,

    The 458 was special to me for many reasons. First of all, it was my first Ferrari which I bought brand new and specced to what I like. Secondly, I ordered it because I took Pilota Corsa in 2011 in Shanghai's F1 rack and was able to feel the real performance of the car. Thirdly, I have only driven less than 700km in it in the 8 months I owned it due to traveling schedule.

    I do have a replacement coming soon. I ordered an MP4 spider that will be delivered from UK soon. I tested it on the racetrack (in my country) and it performed very well. But somehow it is different from the 458. Other than being more comfortable and punchy acceleration (albeit slight turbo lag), I can't put a finger why many people raved about it. But.....I bought it.

    Hmm. Well, it's your choice. But I will still go with a 458. Goodluck!

    I am going this Thursday to look at The Mclaren 12C. I have seen and heard one but never drove one. I am kind of excited about it.

    I will not trade in my 458 although I am not a fan of this particular Ferrari. I will probably trade in my 2013 BMW M3. Which I like now but honestly not much power. I have found some tuner houses but I have never been a fan of modifying cars. I tend to keep them stock.

    Two days ago I drove the new Jaguar and was very imressed. I was there picking up my Lotus from service and the saleman talked me into driving the jaguar. Even with the only 495 hp it feel much faster and powerful than that. It has great sound and with all of the adjustible componets set to dynamic it was a wonderful driving experience.
