458 Italia - what a car (includes video)

[adma23]

I recently acquired a 458 Italia. I've had and driven many cars and had no idea what to expect when I test drove it. My god how I've fallen in love. I know its reputation precedes it and journalists have waxed lyrical ever since its debut but I could never have imagined that it can handle the way it does on the limit, indulging you in an unparalleled soundtrack yet be so docile when you just want to get from point A to point B in comfort.

Last weekend I took it for a spin to Sicily - took a brief clip as I went up the Etna. Enjoy!

I have had mine for three years now and I just can't bring myself to change it for anything else. Certainly not a 488 anyway. For lots of reasons but mostly being twice the money and maybe just as good overall.

Nice video - its good to enjoy the car like that.
