I love the turn signal buttons. I hate the horn buttons. Horn in the center of wheel would be better.
My only gripe about the Speciale is I can't see the left and right turn signal lights so I am often going down the highway after accidentally not canceling them (say on a highway merge). I hate giving fodder to the "dumbass Ferrari owner can't even use his turn signals properly" crowd.
The ambient temperature sensor is on the bottom of the driver's side-view mirror, not affected by the left front radiator. I suppose there is miniscule warming of the outside air as it exits the radiator outlet vent passing by the mirror housing, but living in an imperfect word I don't concern myself with a few degrees of air temperature variation.
If the electric button does not work, how many of you can (1) quickly located the hidden red cord to open the glove box (2) convince the red cord to open the glove box without breaking?
Our two Audis and our porsche display the exactly correct temperature. Is it too much to ask that a $300+k Fcar can read 10F or more in hot weather be accurate? If l want to know the actual temp l use my Weather Channel app, but not when underway.
Dunno. Dealer did it at my request before they delivered the 458 spider. The speedo is a little smaller on the left. I usually have the water and oil temps displayed or the tire temps and pressure. So l use the digital speedo on the left. When in third gear you can drive off the tach as 2k rpm is 20 mph, 5k rpm is 50 mph and so on. I keep infotainment displayed on the right screen. You don't have to get out of the speedo when it is on the left full time. I think how to do this is in this section. May not be able to do this until the 2012 model year which is what my spider is. Hope this helps.
You actually listen to CDs? I have to confess I haven't tried them in this car, but doesn't it skip when you hit bumps in the road? I either use the built-in jukebox or a iPod (which is itself old school at this point, too).
I loaded cds onto the hard drive. No skipping. Have over 400 songs on there and l play them all randomly.
My speedo displayes on the left screen when I turn on the infotainment. If the infotainment is turned off it displays on the right screen.
