For me 458 is the best of Ferrari ever made..

Hi, I have owned a 2013 458 Spider in Hong Kong since 2017. Luckily being a 2013 car it does not have the issues of the earlier cars. It's an amazing car and one you can use everyday. It is also very reliable. One downside, as with all direct injection engines, is the carbon bulit up in the inlet port and the inlet valves from the phenomenon of blow back at idling. This can easily be addressed by either cleaning the intake valves with walnut shell blasting or dry ice blasting. Of course the intake manifolds have to be removed to carryout this operation. I have recently had walnut shell blasting to clean the intake valves of the 458 and the engine does run better. It is something absolutely well worth doing especially for a 458, being the last NA mid-engined V8 Ferrari their value is going up.

Solid video / info thanks man! Love the 458 and can’t wait to own one!

This is the best and honest review of the car I've seen on KZfaq.

straight to the point, obviously very knowledgeable down to the details, valuable information, subscribed!

Very good video covering a lot of the little problems that aren't brought up on the Ferrari forums (mirror, frunk release)

Thanks for the vid! I'm in Cary and have a 458. If I ever run across anything I can't handle myself it's going to you guys.

Thank you Billy. That 458 is beautiful.

Great guide very informative, many thanks!

Appreciate the honest review

DAMN, that is a good looking car! And I'm a Porsche guy.

I'm a big fan of the 458 and you mentioned the dash getting hot. In direct sunlight or eve on a cloudy day, I can imagine can get pretty hot in there. If you can leave the windows cracked, if that's not to much of a security risk and also, maybe white alcantara or some other leather that doesn't absorb much of the heat energy or infrared radiation. I appreciate your video on these issues with this type of vehicle!

Ive been not the fence this really helped me decide. Thanks.

Great review very informative

This 458 reminds me of my ex. Beautiful but way too much issues and expensive to maintain 😂😂

Thank you for the info!!!!

Headliner was an issue on mine the mirror knob broke really easy and the ceramic brakes always made a noise other than that it was an awesome car 💥💥💥

458 are beautiful! Though I think I'll stick to Porsche for reliability.

Dream car for me, congratulations

great vid

great content

i like how about 10min in, after 50 problems were listed he said overall its a pretty reliable car.... lmao

For some reason I have to have the "Wheel Bearing " kit for my driver side. They thought it was Caliber was closing down of the brake pad. The Brake pad on driver side was worn out and the other side was perfect. So they thought it was not opening all the way. But the deeper they went they found 5 shims, one was Ferrari and others were not. It is the weekend so I don't know if that means someone had done something with the wheel for track or what. A bit confused. Looks like it will be about $5400. But I don't know if that is for the kit or includes labor. Other than that is has been problem free, like a camry. Just change the oil and drive. I always take it to the Dealership, expensive, but people like to know if they buy a car it has been looked after. Did you ever see bearings on one side needing work. There was never any noise that I could hear.

Billy, this car looks to me to be high mileage. The intake valve covers even look like they were repainted with a spray can. What's the mileage and condition when you purchased it?

Wow, I had no idea about the trunk latch, that's crazy.

Wow ! watching this would make me not want to ever go near one ! But next year I probably will 😆😆😆

love my 6 speed manual Corolla. I make zoom zoom noises when I thrill ride it.

458 or Corvette C8 Z06? What would you rather own?

What kind of watch are you wearing?

What year was this model?

Don't Care about the headache it's my dream car 😍🥰😍

Wish I would of watched this before I purchased… 458 is an amazing car but definitely shows its age. I don’t think the nostalgia of the NA v8 makes up for the lack of refinement of a newer model.

These are the exact reasons I decided to get an F150 instead

Do you want to sell this one to me?

Great video! Thank You - still my dream car as I am working Hard, lol, to try an obtain the necessary funds. Can you help me out with a go fund me account, lol. Just Kidding!!! A big issue that I have learned thus far in my research is to NOT purchase a 458 that is 2010, 11 or 12. IFFF I can get the funds I will only purchase a 2014, 15. I Love the candy apple red on your dash. Super COOL!! If I can get one I would love to get that done. Black is my color. Having a royal blue or Super Gloss Black would be hot!! Thanks again - Nice to see someone who is a Nice, Honest Guy!

Things like this is why the Ferrari owners dont drive their cars that often. They store it in the garage and look at it for few years and sell them with low mileage. My heart was set on a ferrari(360) but my logic told me to get a 911. '14 c2s acquired it in '15 it now has 55,xxx miles with zero issues.

It’s not good…. It’s freaking amazing

Ferrari 458 or McLaren 570s/gt. 1)Which one has stiffer ride? 2)Better daily driven car 3)More reliable

a lot of these issues are from keeping the car outside a lot.

my take away is that you’ll never know when it could burst into flames.

Why would you lower a Ferrari when you're already low to the ground? Smh

Bro I was cool till you were like “oh yeh, the headliner” 😮😮😮😮😮😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

A blown engine under 50,000 miles and 40 falfunction repairs that can cost up to $40k ...No thanks I own a 1976 Alfa Romeo spider veloce 180 k still putting around . Everyday driver in Florida 3 months out of the year.

Really! So much money with so many problems. I now believe that ferrari cars are over rated and over price.

So basically the car will catch fire is what my guy is saying

Wow, you’ve abused your car properly! Fair enough, not not fair to keep saying “very common issue”.

Money Pit Buy JDM

Ferrari has very poor build quality. Iv had my Renault megane RS 250 since 2011 and its still in perfect condition. Only replaced service parts. This video has just put me off buying a Ferrari
