    Hello everyone. I am about to trade in my Mclaren 12C (since I am tired of it having issues all the time. been at Mclaren Service for 4 month for the latest issue...)

    I have 3 models that I can choose from and they all have their advantages in specs and the price is basically the same as well. Hopefully you can help me narrow down which one to pick.

    Ill post a link for all here:

    Aren't you showing more mileage/km in your post than they actually have? When I click the links they seem like low mileage cars. It looks like a decision between red and black to start with. If black, then easy decision and it is one year newer with best sound system. If red, then I am partial to the red with black roof. But I would want to see Rossa Scuderia with black roof in person. That red can be a bit orange, which might be odd in reality with the black roof. But I would drive all three, the two with Capristo will be different than the other one. Suit yourself.

    I never like to buy the first year of any new Ferrari. In my experience, the early cars tend to have more issues, which don't get sorted out for a couple of years. The 360 was famous for this. Perhaps less so with the 458, but me personally I'd stick to 2012 and later.

    Nah its the correct length. 10km = 1 Scandinavian Mile (mil in Swedish) And the numbers on the homepage is in that measurement.
    Both black and Reds work for me so that no issue there.

    Let me change the question a bit then. Which one would everyone personally choose of these three?
    I am aware that a newer model might be better but that's not an option here so its not really relevant :). Its like saying a fully specced out car is a better option than these three. Its not in the cards really. ;)

    One time I was looking at two different 458's at Ferrari of SF with my girlfriend and trying to decide which color I liked more: Nero Daytona or Blanco w/ a black roof.

    Originally I was considering buying the two-tone car, until I noticed the Nero Daytona 458 parked in the back of the showroom. After looking over both cars, I asked the sales guy if they would mind pulling them outside so we could all compare the colors side by side in the day light. Both looked amazing and sounded amazing. Everyone agreed either would be a great choice.

    To help break the tie, I turned to my girlfriend and asked, "If you were at the club and two different guys were trying to take you home, one driving this two-tone white car and the other driving this all black Ferrari, who would you go home with?"

    Without hesitation, she replied, "Definitely, the guy in black Ferrari"
