The 458 remains the gold standard for 5-star steering feel. The 4.5L V8 screams to 9,000 RPM with a 5-star roar that modern turbo cars just can’t replicate. While the interior is a bit 3-star dated now, the 5-star aerodynamic efficiency is brilliant. It’s a 5-star benchmark for performance, offering a 4-star cabin that’s surprisingly spacious for a weekend getaway. It’s the last great naturally aspirated V8.
Driving the 458 is "practically effortless" and remains the gold standard for 5-star steering feel. The 4.5L V8 screams to 9,000 RPM with a 5-star roar that turbo cars just can’t replicate. While the "carp whisker" winglets are odd, the aerodynamic efficiency is brilliant. It’s a 5-star benchmark for performance, offering a 4-star interior that's surprisingly spacious for golf clubs and a weekend getaway.
The Ferrari 458 is still a head-turner, even with newer models on the market. It holds up well in terms of performance and style, but the tech feels a little dated compared to the newer models like the 296 GTB. It's a classic, but one that could benefit from modern updates.
