    Love it! Congratulations and best wishes to you for many more years of “s-miles” in your 458.

    I’ve only owned my 2015 458 Italia for one amazing year, but I’m never selling it... It’s an epic ride!

    Cheers!

    Beautiful 458, I'm pretty sure that's exactly how I'd spec it. I'm debating making the switch from my F430 and keeping it for as long as I can still drive!

    Yes… I want to do the same thing. I have a 2007 f430 spider. Only 22, 000 miles, and literally just drives perfectly. However I still pine for that hard top roof and some tech.....thinking of maybe waiting and skipping a generation and then buying a 488 spider once I can afford it.

    That said… There’s something nice about the car being totally analog

    Great car. A keeper for sure.
    My I ask for the mileage and the w&t-parts or others that had to be exchanged since delivery.
    Tks and take care.

    Hi I did the move from 430 Spider to this 458, the difference is unbelievable, good test drive should confirm that, it did for me

    Tks. That’s close to nothing.
    There are lengthy reports on quality problems with the Porsche 992 in the German Porsche Forum at present.
    Rattling dashboards and center tunnels, crackling and squeaking steering wheels, faulty HMI, rumbling suspensions, inclined installed roofs, ...
    I have the feeling quality has become a strengths of Ferrari compared with Porsche during the past 10, 15 years.
    Stunning.

    Hi the only issue I had was the first couple of openings each year the roof would be tight on the back window which they sorted by adjustment on the last service.
