    Words can't describe the 458. I previously
    Owned a 360 and 430 and I thought they
    Were amazing cars but the 458, is in a league
    All by itself. The gearshifts are seamless and
    It is incredibly fast. My biggest surprise has been
    That The car is so comfortable that you truly could
    Use it as your DD. The only negative is that it's a typical
    Ferrari and the Computer screens aren't overly user friendly?
    I'm sure I'll get more familiar the longer I own it. This car is
    The most awesome machine ever built.

    Art, you will find that the computer displays and steering controls become second nature and are very intuitive to use . The car is an amazing machine and you'll find it more addicting every time you drive it!

    Easiest way is to email them to yourself and post from a PC.

    Well, I'll stick to my Daytona's :) but those diamonds are stunning.
    Art, the screens are a bit of a pain. I still haven't figured out how to get the map up with one button touch. I know I have to hit the "main" and hold it down to get to that main screen but can't quite figure out which one takes me back to Map with one touch and then flip back to the speedo with one touch. Also, lol, for the life of me I can't figure out which button to hit to get the voice control to go. I think it's the round button between the rockers behind the left side of the steering wheel. Right controls uh the audio input? Oh and I haven't even tried the left screen. I just leave it on oil and coolent temp gauges. The voice worked great after training it but I can't seem to get it to listen. Typical woman. Oh, and the phone. Works great but when it says to hit the phone button to answer i just hit the control button. Mostly because there is no phone button!
